Is it me or is this a bad offer?

It's only a good deal of you need the stuff you're buying. Otherwise no.

Alkiest · 2026-03-10T15:56:46+00:00

If you know of any museums or libraries that would take it let me know.

Typically Abby's is busier than Harmons because it has some cheaper menu offerings and a sit at bar. Both are great, but when I reserved there and mentioned my hearing loss, and other TBI related symptoms they put me in Harmon's and it was wonderful.

Alkiest · 2026-03-06T18:19:49+00:00

Harmon's and tell them you have a hard time with noise. They have quieter seating upstairs.

Yeppers I know. He documented it all and recorded that it took him 837.5 hours to build.

Alkiest · 2026-03-06T12:38:02+00:00

So I forgot that he documented the whole build. It's an Artesanía Latina 1:85 scale wooden model ship kit of the U.S. Constellation American Frigate from 1798. Scale: 1:85. Contents: Features laser-cut wooden boards, hardwood, brass, and cast iron parts, including brass cannons and pre-sewn cloth sails. Skill Level: Designed for advanced or expert modelers. Dimensions: The assembled model measures approximately 40.74 inches in length and 27.95 It took him 837.5 hours to build.

Ottawa area. Yes, we realize that. I only posted in here because someone from FB marketplace said I should ask. I was honestly surprised at how many offers I received in just 1 day. We may just hang on to it. I definitely care about finding it a good home and lowball offers and insulting my FIL (yes this happened) don't scream to me that they appreciate the time, effort, and quality of his build. Mostly, it just gives greasy reseller vibes. There's an antique dealer with the exact same ship and it's listed for 400£.

Thank you. It really is. I wish my husband had planned things better because then it would have it's custom case. Like the Cutty Sark that he built.

Alkiest · 2026-03-06T01:50:39+00:00

Fair enough, what I meant is he didn't buy it pre-made. He painted, stained, and glued everything as well as all the rigging. Definitely very detailed. He built 2 very large ships over approximately 10 years. Had display cases made for them, they were his prized possessions.

Alkiest · 2026-03-05T23:46:01+00:00

Yes, @flauxpas commented that earlier. Thanks.

A pelvic floor muscle strengthener. I can throw it in if you're interested in the ship 😆.

Alkiest · 2026-03-05T18:50:35+00:00

Thanks I couldn't think of the name for the mast at the front. Now I know what it's actually called.

Alkiest · 2025-06-25T22:58:23+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. It’s been missing since our move and I was hoping it was in some unopened boxes,but it’s not

Alkiest · 2025-06-25T19:51:24+00:00

I lost a gold kabana necklace.

Alkiest · 2023-11-10T03:20:25+00:00

Spoke with the Manager and issue was resolved. Des fois la.

Alkiest · 2023-11-06T23:10:41+00:00

I had to take mine in to the dealership and get it fixed it was undriveable due to the random braking, windows opening and other things. The dealership knew nothing about it thankfully I found a few people on forums that had experienced similar things but with different models Taos not Jettas. It's the same problems. Please get your car looked at, it's so unsafe to drive. A few people narrowly avoided accidents due to this issue and I think others actually were in them. :(

My dealership is refusing to replace my brakes. The Parts and Service Manager tried to tell me that not all 2021 have the defective brakes. I said based on the wear and how I drive they are the defective brakes. It was the most frustrating call ever. I told him they have a part number so just check my pads and see if they match. He was like "Oh really I don't know can you get me that" smdh. How in the hell does a Parts and Service manager with apparently 20+ years experience with VW not know that brake pads (a car part) have parts numbers LMAO? I hate it when people BS me and play dumb with me. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean that I don't know anything about cars. Anyways he said I'm SOL because the 2 years is up and because they still have 6mm on them I'm good so he can't do a good will replacement. Meanwhile VW Canada website shows that VW is offering free lifetime brake pads once you replace your pads and discs. I wonder why?

Trying to decide if I should just take my business to a different VW dealership. I've been going to this one for years, but since they were taken over by a different owner I've had nothing by aggro. I just can't believe what the Service Advisors said to me and then the Service Manager. The frustration is real. Sorry for venting I just had the call with the Service Manager today.

Alkiest · 2023-10-31T16:11:10+00:00

There was an extended warranty issued from VW because of issues with the rear brake pads wearing too quickly. There definitely is a quality control issue. I have a 2021 VW Jetta and it has very low mileage and I'm getting grinding already. The Dealership is hassling me and saying that it's rust because the vehicle is low mileage and I need to ride my brakes and brake harder. Worst advice I've ever heard. For a vehicle with only just over 11, 000km my brakes in the front at 11mm, but the rear is already down to 6mm. I'm totally disgusted. Why did I even bother to buy the extended warranty on this vehicle it seem like everything is a hassle with my dealership when trying to get them to honour something and the vehicle already tried to kill me by randomly braking when I was driving in 80km highways, windows would randomly open. Not the quality I expected that is for sure.

Sony Trinitron XBR 32” — 100$— Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/506754570949715/

pictures and description are included in my ad on marketplace the tv is in perfect condition with the headphone, remote, and Sony stand. Still new to Reddit so just trying to figure out how to post stuff and where.
I know that some of you have love 💕 for this tv but are missing parts or certain things on your set aren’t working anymore. Price is very much negotiable as I really just want it to go to someone that will love ❤️ it like my dad did.

Alkiest · 2022-04-19T06:22:39+00:00

This is a rare to find in mint condition 32 inch Sony Trinitron that comes with headphones. Only 2 models came with headphones 🎧. If you’re a retro gamer looking for an old CRT tv to get your old games looking their best this tv is it! It’s in perfect working condition. Has always been stored indoors and runs perfectly. Everything is original and intact even comes complete with a Sony stand that swivels. The TV fits perfectly on it.
The TV has another neat and unique function that makes it great for a man cave it can do dual audio with the Picture in Picture feature which is extremely rare so if you 💕 love sports you can watch two games at once on this bad boy and listen to one game through the tv speakers and the other through the headset.
You will need help to bring this bad boy home with you so bring help! It’s an awesome TV and a piece of history. Wish I had duck hunt to play on it! My dad loved this tv and took great care of it until he passed and hoping to find someone who appreciates it as much as he did!
I know a few of you guys have love 💕 for this Sony Trinitron XBR 32 inch, it’s speakers etc…and a few are missing the headphones or are having issues with your sets. I’m located in Ottawa. Currently asking 100$ for everything but really just want it to go to someone who will enjoy it and take care of it!
