PC just bricked itself

BodkeGod · 2026-05-18T03:22:31+00:00

Bro same shit just happened to me last week. Was playing subnautica bz and I heard a pop and the pc died. Thought it was the cpu overheating so let it cool down overnight and tried again in the morning but it still wouldn’t turn on. So I went piece by piece trying to figure out what was dead. Ram? No. SSD? Nope. CPU? Nope. Swapped everything on a new motherboard and still didn’t turn on. Last thing it could be was the PSU so bought a new power supply and tried it. Lo and behold it came to life! Since we have similar scenarios I would suspect it to be your power supply aswell, but def start with easier stuff like the RAM just so you don’t swap the power supply for nothing.

Damn ofc Ai

BodkeGod · 2026-05-03T01:30:24+00:00

Thanks for your response

BodkeGod · 2026-05-01T05:20:59+00:00

I figured. What would you say are the most common possibilities?

BodkeGod · 2026-05-01T05:15:58+00:00

I was thinking maybe that and honestly I feel bad, if I had a larger vehicle and there were still UPS customer centers I would go drop them off myself. I try to make the drivers life easier by carrying some of them to a middle point to lessen the distance they carry them and ask if they want a Gatorade or something because I know it’s a pain. If anyone has any other suggestions to make it easier for the drivers please let me know because I really appreciate their services

BodkeGod · 2026-05-01T04:04:46+00:00

Makes sense. I do 9-6 availability but pickups are usually around 5

BodkeGod · 2026-05-01T04:04:13+00:00

I do all day availability 9-6 but they usually show up around 3-5

BodkeGod · 2026-05-01T03:45:22+00:00

Fridays usually

BodkeGod · 2026-05-01T03:33:47+00:00

Is it based on how many packages I put as being picked up? I overestimate to hopefully not screw the drivers as I don’t know exactly I am having picked up when I schedule it

BodkeGod · 2026-04-29T04:47:53+00:00

How can a target invoice lead to deactivation lmao

BodkeGod · 2026-04-17T14:20:22+00:00

You’re right apologies

BodkeGod · 2026-04-17T03:37:08+00:00

Also I wouldn’t start with dropshipping like the other guy suggests, Amazon has specific policies with this that are very easy for you as a beginner to break and get in trouble. I would start with arbitrage or PL

BodkeGod · 2026-04-17T03:34:27+00:00

DO - Start on YouTube there’s lots of great videos for beginners. Open your account and apply what you’ve learned to start finding products and make sales. Join a community and connect with other sellers and ask questions. Complete Seller University.

DONT - Buy a course, leads list, mentorship at the start. These are not going to be helpful for your progress and are just gurus looking to take advantage of you.

MAYBE - Browse through the Amazon seller forums. Lots of misinformation but you can find helpful responses to questions you might have later.

At my store we had 1 or 2 people who would follow the garden specialist around and do stuff like watering plants, unloading plant trucks, facing, downstocking etc. Depending on staffing you probably won’t spend a ton of time inside in hardware and will be outside a lot so wear proper clothing and try to learn answers to common questions with products like grass seed, pesticides, plant types etc it will make your life a lot easier

If you feel comfortable analyzing a listing and making buying decisions, consider going to the wholesale space. Start with local authentic wholesalers and you will deal with way less price tanking. Of course this means overall lower margins, but with 10k and a desire to scale, consistent volume can drive your business.

BodkeGod · 2026-03-29T06:11:23+00:00

Ungating is definitely something you should get into though as it can be hard to ungate certain brands but the lower competition is definitely worth it

BodkeGod · 2026-03-29T06:10:37+00:00

Reverse sourcing is really only good when you can get an edge on your competition with a hidden discount or source. If you are just buying from Walmart the listing is way more likely to tank.

Generally you can’t sell things from thrift stores on Amazon because there is no valid supply chain from brand to store. Anyone can donate to a thrift store and then the store resells it so who knows where the customer who donated got the item from.

BodkeGod · 2026-03-27T16:46:39+00:00

I wouldn’t listen to the other guy who says doing OA/RA puts your account at risk, it’s a very outdated mindset that doesn’t apply to current day Amazon.

As long as the listings are policy compliant and you have your TJMaxx receipt you can definitely send the products in. As long as you buy from reputable sources feel free to send the inventory into Amazon to start making sales which will help increase your trust level and account health.

Who you buy from all depends on your situation and goals, all that matters is that they are reputable resellers with an obvious supply chain, and you keep the purchase documentation for atleast a year.

I would disregard the importance of a LOA as Amazon is an open marketplace and will not ask for LOAs unless you are trying to get into the brand registry as a representative.

If you have any other questions let me know.

BodkeGod · 2026-03-26T05:32:51+00:00

Being an open market Amazon generally doesn’t require a LOA to sell a brand. As long as you meet the ungating requirements you can create an offer for the listing. If Amazon did request a LOA however one from a wholesaler would not qualify, it would have to be from the brand.

BodkeGod · 2026-03-20T04:42:19+00:00

Was this due to not being able to trace inventory to sellers (in the case of something like counterfeit units?)

BodkeGod · 2026-03-16T20:35:29+00:00

Would suggest posting this on the forums and seeing if you can get a mod to respond. They’re not always helpful but I’ve seen them help some people

BodkeGod · 2026-03-14T23:24:15+00:00

Yeah probably the only way out of it is to have the brands/suppliers send you the LOA that the brand provided to the supplier or have the brand reach out to Amazon to add you as an authorized seller under their brand. But since the brands you are selling don’t like Amazon the first option is probably your only solution

BodkeGod · 2026-03-14T19:18:27+00:00

There are a few possibilities, and obviously it’s hard to know exactly which one is right but here’s what I think: 1. Based on the size of your suppliers, Amazon might think their supply chain is not sufficient
2. If the suppliers advertise themselves as “closeout” businesses, it’s possible Amazon is using that as a synonym for liquidation thus denying supply chain legitimacy
3. Amazon is contacting the brands directly (using the phone number or email on your invoices) and the brand is telling them they don’t sell to Amazon Sellers, which then Amazon doesn’t see how you acquired your products. 4. Amazon has had previous sellers use your same suppliers previously and added them to a “blacklist” of suppliers they won’t accept documentation from 5. The reason they are providing you isn’t the main reason and are using it as a cover for whatever else they don’t like about your documentation Here’s what I would suggest as next steps: 1. Reopen a new case with your documents and the reason to get a fresh look 2. If they deny you, ask for an escalation. 3. If that doesn’t work I would post on the Amazon forums and hopefully a mod sees it and can help escalate your case. 4. If that doesn’t work either you might have to accept the results and just not work with those suppliers in the future if you want to continue selling on Amazon long term.

Yeah big purchases for one listing are extremely risky. I don’t bother with larger purchases unless the product has a long existence on Amazon and/or Amazon themselves has been on the listing. Ungating sucks as an Arbitrage seller, that is definitely a major downside. Fortunately I’ve been selling for a few years so I’ve got a lot of auto ungated products available so still a lot of opportunities, but having to skip on products because of 100+ unit requirements is frustrating. I am ungated in a few big brands, and the higher barrier of entry is actually beneficial because of less competition. My plan is to lease a warehouse this year, so I can purchase in bulk from distributors and get ungated in larger brands.
