- I don't even know how much to list them for
EN: I wouldn’t even know how much to list them for - Lots of variables. The market will decide the price. List at half to 3/4 of what you paid. Wait a few weeks, drop the price if no bites.
EN: lots of variables. market will set the price. list half to 3/4 what you paid. wait a couple weeks, no bites lower the price. - Look at what others are listing theirs for. Tire resale prices won't be high, but Facebook Marketplace is your best bet.
EN: Look at what other people have listed theirs for. Tires don't resell for a tonne of money but fb market place is your best bet. - The last set I sold went for $100 each. They were gone in two days. Adjust up or down based on the condition and brand/style of the tires you're selling. If you really want them gone, price them to sell. You'll never recoup the actual cost of the tires.

2. Vehicles without plates?
Original title:Vehicles without plates?
Post summary:In the past two weeks, I've noticed three cars with no front or rear plates (not even visible in the rear window or elsewhere). The first two were nicer cars, which is why I noticed them initially. The third was just a standard hatchback. I'm really curious because I've never seen vehicles driving around without any plates. Is this just a weird coincidence or some kind of Soviet citizen thing?

- Nicer cars might avoid screw damage to the bumper but usually still have a back plate. Maybe there's more to the story, and no doubt vehicle theft is high here.
EN: Nicer cars could be to avoid wrecking the bumpers from screws but usually still have a back plate. Maybe something more going on the story, no doubt vehicle theft is high here. - I've noticed the same thing for about a month now. Like you said, not beaters.
EN: I noticed the same thing going on for about a month now. Like you said, not beaters. - Maybe their plates were stolen and they haven't noticed, because deliberately avoiding 'the man' is the fastest way to find yourself talking to 'the man'
EN: Probably had their plates stolen and didn't notice, because deliberately trying to hide from The Man is the fastest way to find yourself talking to The Man - Paper in the windows? Could be new purchases with temporary stickers while waiting, or people just don't care about that anymore, I wouldn't be surprised. Honestly, I think people have stopped caring about traffic rules in the last few years. The number of cars with Ontario plates driving with the front plate removed, or people charging through early turns after it goes solid green, is so high.

- We have Furkin, it's okay, the main hassle is they pay the same amount in Canada as in USD. We pay about $72 a month for two cats. All in all, having coverage is good, but the exchange rate annoys us a bit.
EN: We have Furkin, it's so so, main mess around is they pay out in Canadian the same numerical value as USD. We pay around $72 a month for two cats. In summary it's nice to have the cover but we're getting more than a bit f - I use Trupanion, it lets you see any vet in the US, Puerto Rico, and Canada

5. Boat rental / fishing
Original title:Boat Rental/Fish
Post summary:My nephew is from southern Ontario, and I want to take him fishing this weekend. Instead of shore fishing, I'm thinking of taking him out on a boat on a local lake. I'm wondering, what are my options for renting a boat to take him out on the lake? I'm considering Dog Lake Resort because I think they offer day boat rentals. Are there other relatively close options I should consider for our adventure?

8. Backyard mechanic?
Original title:Any backyard mechanics?
Post summary:Hi everyone, I'm wondering if there's a backyard mechanic or a mobile service in town that can come take a look at my RV. It's a Ford Econoline 350 Tioga. It won't start. No click or anything. My family seems to be arguing about the cause. Ground not grounded? Needs a new starter? Because it's an RV, towing it to a shop costs $$$. Any suggestions?
