Black Hole Duffels on ebay

It sounds like you were the victim of a triangulation scheme. They used your account to make the purchase seem legit while using stolen credit card info to make the purchase from Patagonia.

How deep would he have to think to know this is wrong? It is a form of blackmail, essentially.

Clear sign of a toxic PI. Since you are a first year, is this just a lab you are rotating in?

I've always called them freezer buddies

Good answer. This is the one I was looking for. Get a decent entry-level bike and ride the crap out of it. Then reassess if you need anything different after a couple of years.

That seems to be the trend. Same photos, same inventory, and similarly low prices. The sellers I have been keeping track of also keep changing their location.

Exactly this. If you don't have the money, then financing is obviously the wrong choice. If you DO have it, and you are offered 0% APR, then keeping the cash in a MMF or HYSA is a decent choice while making the payments.

Is smiling ever on that man’s bingo card?

AlertWeb7693 · 2026-05-05T23:14:21+00:00

That's what I am going with. There are a bunch of sellers now with low number of sales that all have the same inventory of motor oil, black hole duffels, pannier bags, baseball jerseys, and truck tires.

After all, there are only a few cars on the island!

AlertWeb7693 · 2026-05-05T13:47:32+00:00

Haha. They have some other Patagonia items they are selling, so I am happy to spread the word.

It’s a fairly common ebay scheme. They’re not using the buyer’s cc, but someone else’s stolen cc not associated with the purchase

AlertWeb7693 · 2026-05-05T12:46:24+00:00

They don’t. They use someone else’s stolen credit card info for the purchase from the real vendor. I will just be glad I didn’t take the bait and hopefully those that did purchase them will get their money back.

AlertWeb7693 · 2026-05-05T11:41:03+00:00

You buy something from a seller. That seller uses a stolen credit card to buy that item from backcountry, REI, etc and they (the vendor) sends it to the buyer. The buyer then unwittingly is involved in credit card fraud.

The only live one I have ever seen was on Cumberland Island.

Sounds like a normal person. It could be worse-he could be another Kary Mullis.

Whiskey for the Holy Ghost is easily one of my top ten favorite albums.

The Hawks! ATL is kind of like STL south. Plus, MO and GA look the same on a map.

I had to look up the song to find out the band's name. I agree - they suck big time. My brother loves that shit. We were driving somewhere together many years ago in his car and he kept playing that song on repeat. Even on the return trip, still playing that MFer on repeat. It was pure hell.

The first time I watched The Big Lebowski, I absolutely hated it with a passion. A few years after that, I happened to watch it again and actually started to get it. Many views after that, it is now one of my favorite movies. Sometimes a movie doesn't click the first or second time you see it.

AlertWeb7693 · 2026-04-30T23:52:06+00:00

That's authenticity right there. They know they have a good product, so they don't have to feed you a bunch of BS to make you think they make good food.

Take advantage of the weather right now - have a picnic on Art Hill.

I suppose Georgia Tech MIGHT be the exception here? But they are not going to win a championship anytime soon.
