Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]

isn't it cheaper just to buy than to rent...?

it's gotta be..

I've seen a few places in Krakow going for upto 4k a month for 2 bedrooms and a living room. Generally the reason you will have 6 students to a 3 bedroomed flat.

it would have to be.. no one can afford that kind of crazy price.. this completely validates everything said in the other polish property thread..

rip-off...

something... jeezas..

History / How Polish history is viewed by other countries textbooks [124]

I will take your word for it Costa....

i wouldn't. i guarantee you that what they say isn't even close to the truth.. they again think Stalin was the greatest leader ever.

Poles had not stop them

them? guzzle on..

I think its a bit more complicated than that.

not really

Polish history doesn't exist, except for WWII stories of the German invasion,

you either flunked or there is something else wrong with you as US books definitely talk about the partitions and PL becoming a country again after WW1.. Copernicus is also mentioned.. there may be a few other things.. well, of course the 89 stuff or what not.

I don't believe that.

it's true because it is true.. it may say it;s a myth or whatever, grandpa told me otherwise.. so i tend to believe him as he was there on the front line when the nazis came through on sept 1.. and not some wiki or any other source.. poles had cavalry and not tanks so they fielded what they had..

Ha!

I knew it!!!

lol

Real Estate / Making an offer for Polish houses [30]

I don't think the greedy pole cares, he just wants the money, unless of course he was desperate to sell.

no, greedy pole wants everything and then some.. hardly ever are they desperate to sell.. even if they really are desperate, they won't sell for less then they think the property is worth, even if it's not worth that.

If a seller sets a reserve at auction and it doesn't sell then that is probably not the market value, because if it were it would have sold.

let me say this slower and louder for ya.. the market value is what the greedy seller thinks it is.. whether that is actually what the market "value" is.. (there is no such thing as market value in PL - it's all very arbitrary and based purely on greed not supply and demand)

Real Estate / Making an offer for Polish houses [30]

The market price is set by the buyer.

you do mean the seller..

I would offer 60% of the asking price and walk away, the owner will soon ring you

no they won't... see just above and see post #7.

No its an equilibriam between buyer and sellar.

that would be true in the rest of the world but no in PL

he'll probably get the asking price in the end.

after waiting for it for years while paying and paying taxes and whatever other incidental costs may be.. polish people make no sense sometimes.

Having an auction was a stupid idea. Cash investors would want to pay silly money

not necessary.. cash is king normally and an auction can make a sale faster then any other way. maybe you meant as an auction in PL is a silly idea as everyone is way to cheap to make it work..

Not if the seller sets a reserve

bingo.. you just admitted that it's the seller who dictates the "value"

I would offer him 50 % and wait and if no reply wait a bit longer and if no reply wait a bit longer and hopefully by then he would be delighted with the 50% maybe even 30%. Or just rent and wait as gravity always wins..Buying now would not be a gamble just acute stupidity .

hope you're not holding your breath at the same time.. sellers in PL rarely budge.

I understand it all,

sure doesn't seem so..

it's you that disagreed, but then proceeded to disprove your own arguement.

isn't that actually what you did? look at where i quoted you above the quote from milky.

The smart operator buys and sell, the silly one holds onto property expecting a price he will never receive..

but that is PL..

Property prices are determined by a supply and demand.

that is true everywhere but PL.. poles are too greedy to play that kind of game there. check wroclaw boy's post.. i quoted it in this post too...

get a perspective on how Fcuked up it all is over there.

exactly

Life / POLISH TEENAGERS TURN TO PROSTITUTION... [77]

there was another thread about this.. and there is a name for the girls that do it for clothes/accessories.. the name escapes me however.. there was a movie in PL made about it and the title was this name... anyway, sad indeed.

Real Estate / Making an offer for Polish houses [30]

these somehow don't go together and really, the first statement is the only true one here.. i don't think there is such a think as a fair market value.

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

i want figur in EURO

poland doesn't have the euro.. it has the zloty.. also, read the whole thread and search the forums. a lot of that info is around here.

And you are just to stupid to realize that the two are incompatible and seem to have a serious inferiority complex.

incompatible or not they are not mutually exclusive..

Life / Is the word "Polack"rascist? [185]

Jesteś Polak(iem) means that you are Polish. It's all about the connotation and the intention, plk123.

this thread is not about polak but polack..

But ok, I understand that ofensiveness of word polack isnt clear and I shouldnt feel ofended if someone uses that word.

it is clear and you should be offended or you will be the butt of a joke.

Law / Retirees immigration regulations in Poland [34]

Why? Wouldn't you be allowed to apply for permanent residency like anyone else after 5 years?

because you are not productive and you don't fit into the pencil pusher's categories i linked above. if you don't understand what i am saying in plain english, you have 0 chance navigating polish bureaucracy.

(first link).

like i just said.. i don't know if i'd give him/her any more ideas at this point..

are you suggesting the Euro will be devalued??

it sure isn't going up any time soon.

If thrown in a certain way, yes.

certain way? it's offensive.. there is no certain way..

Law / Retirees immigration regulations in Poland [34]

1 $ is about 3/4 of a euro, so its not that weak.

actually it's way weaker then that right now.. didn't check it today but i know it's at a 4 year low..

I'll have a look - but the Foreigners Office in Poznan has told me before that the criteria is all dependent on received income - they don't care where the income is from, as long as it is stable and reliable. Or of course - you simply have enough in the bank account to show them when you apply for residency.

but they want to know a reason why you want a residency in PL, none the less.. retirement doesn't seem to be one of viable options.. it has nothing to do with money.. one still has to have a valid reason.. and the validity is determined by some pencil pusher in PL..

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

Because Americanos can be silly and there's a culture of stupidity here so they crave lame jokes.

and what.. there are no german or russian jokes in PL?? wth are you guys on??

zetigrek

The question is why do you spread this nonsense?

You don't hear "dumb Pollack" jokes in the US anymore.
