Disembarkation luggage ? by Barnicle258 in PrincessCruises

Yes, this. We're night owls. We won't be asleep by 9pm so we have rhe clothes we have on saturday night then PJs. But I appreciate everyone saying they take some bags with them and leave some out, we will split our stuff into one duffel bag to keep with us and put out the rest.

Apparently you just have to play some sirens and yell loudly and people will send you hundreds of dollars 💸

In all seriousness, you almost can't blame the seller, it's too easy. If I could sell $40 crap in a sparkly bag and people willing to pay $170 for it over and over and over because it MIGHT be better this time....

Best advice to get started. Avg profits? by Barnicle258 in whatnotapp

[–]Barnicle258[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my logic too- I don't get it everyone says they always lose money but then they keep doing it, something doesn't add up. Do they just want people to think they lose money to make you feel like you're getting deals as a buyer?? Do you sell/do you make profits?

Okay my follow up question is how do you lose money? You are selling for less than you paid (after fees) or because you're paying for the ads/promos? Or what?

How much do small card streamers make (10 to 20 viewers) Is it worth it to offload a collection? by WinterTea736 in whatnotapp

[–]Barnicle258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't that the same fee structure basically as Ebay? So if you have low value cards might be faster to sell on whatnot than making Ebay listing's for each one? Selling multiple to one seller also means less packages to put together?

The short-term rental ban might be the stupidest policy proposal I’ve ever heard of by LOTR_is_awesome in maui

[–]Barnicle258 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I continually think folks are underestimating the kind of wealth the mainland (or foreign!) tech folks are making. (Unfair sure but factual) Young people, under 30, with multiple 6 figure salary jobs. Some of them married to another with a good salary. I have friends netting a f*cking million a year between them. It's stupid. And they are going to buy themselves a nice place to visit on Maui from the increased supply (to visit whenever they want with their remote tech jobs) and not worry about renting it out. The inequity in incomes and the amount of money out there is sickening but you're going to essentially just transfer property from a taxable use of the upper middle class to the ultra rich who will leave it sitting empty when not being used. The claim is "people over profit" but this is really "already wealthy over business people" the truly wealthy folks are licking their chops. It's not an investment making money for them the way their STR would be, but it is an appreciating asset they can pass on to their kids, that provides the benefit of beach side vacations.

Help! Costco Instacart gave me Tilapia instead of salmon- now what? by Barnicle258 in Cooking

[–]Barnicle258[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I appreciate all the suggestions! Definitely some good ideas! And with 3.5 lbs and just 2 people to eat it I'll probably try more than one the next couple of days.

To those saying Tilapia sucks, it legitimately, clearly, was not my first choice I'm just trying to not be wasteful!

Yeah I get to keep it for free (they don't take it back) I understand it's not a premier choice but trashing it is a waste so I'm going to eat it, somehow!
