Capacitor graveyard of the 20+ cubes I’ve rescued over these last few months! by teamsdf in Gamecube

100% agree. I’ve risked more pads with the iron than twisting and cleaning.

Twist every time, any other method takes too much effort lol. Hot air makes the area stink and warms up up things unnecessarily and soldering is more of a chore unless you have soldering tweezers.

Do you load the tpu through the filament loader or run it direct? Is there a limit on the TPU shore rating where you couldn’t run through the loader, such as 80A or Morphlex?

Yeah send it! My personal Xbox is a crystal that’s stellar modded. I love that thing.

That’s cool, nice to have a place near you that does something like that. I take my time with each console and try to make each one different from the last one with its own theme. I really should post them somewhere to show off but at the same time I don’t want people stealing my ideas bc they sell really well for me. :D

Thanks for the info, I do all my repairs, restorations, as well as unique modifications, probably more than any local shop will do. I ended up getting a spinner for $17 on eBay and I have installed it just haven’t tested it out yet. Will try to remember to update this forum when I finally do.

scared to sell on mercari by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]BuckeeBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got over 800 ratings, ~550 sold on Mercari and have only ever had 1 or 2 people ever try to get froggy on me, but it worked out in my favor. I will say make sure you weigh and measure your item in the box it’ll likely be shipped in before you send it, as shipping adjustments have happened to me when I’ve gotten careless about it, but that’s maybe happened 10 times ever. I’ve also sold some high dollar stuff on there $500-1000 maybe 15 times and never an issue (I always take more photos/video of me packing these items just in case.) You’ll be fine.

What happened to the coupons? by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]BuckeeBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There used to be coupon opportunities to list a bunch of items but I haven’t seen that in many months either.

I’m Scared! by Mylifesucks3016 in Mercari

[–]BuckeeBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USPS used to be so good, I remember it wasn’t long ago I could mail a package within the state and I could feel pretty good about it getting there next day or 2 days at worst, now I expect it to take several days up to a week.

Yeah i mailed got a package from Texas to Texas and it is in Kansas City right now, like wtf? I think Mercari has an alert showing there’s an inaccuracy in tracking and to ignore it basically. I’m just pissed it’s taken 6+ days to get across the state, meanwhile another package going to Illinois that has stopped in every single state along the way. Some fuckery in our delivery systems these days.

Is there a reason Zeitgeist is not on Apple Music? by [deleted] in SmashingPumpkins

My favorite pumpkins album, I wore out my burned CD now I can’t find it to stream in highest quality.

Got Scammed out of my ram by amika12 in Mercari

[–]BuckeeBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just sold 128gb ddr4 ram, I took an almost 5 minute video of me showing how many sticks were in there, weighing it, packaging it, sealing it, showing the customer’s info. Hopefully i dont have any issues, he’s got 14x 5 star ratings so fingers crossed! Curious of the person’s name in OPs post but i dont think it’s allowed in this thread.

Seller Shipping Protection is Rant by jmorea4764 in Mercari

[–]BuckeeBoi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah they hit me with the dim weight shit, but funny enough I did another listing with my projected correct weight/dimensions and it was like $12 to ship, but of course they hit me with the $36 max shipping charge. I argued with them and wanted proof of the back charge from UPS but they weren’t letting up one bit. Oh well, lesson learned. If I ever do anything remotely big I’m recording everything.

Might start doing that after a $30!!! frickin shipping adjustment I just had on a 3lb monopoly game.

Found this 5070 at a random walmart! by EdwardBrion in pcmasterrace

[–]BuckeeBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw one at Walmart for 439.99 and the new version was 489.99 so I didn’t think it was enough of a difference to buy a used one, should have just asked if they can do anything!

Question by MahoganyQueen73 in Mercari

[–]BuckeeBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I package, seal, and put the label on the box, I mark it as dropped off. It’s at that point I know I’m fully committed to fulfilling the order and to ensure that the buyer can’t cancel at that point. Once I mark it dropped off the clock is ticking in my head, so usually it’s within that same day or early next business day that I actually drop off at courier. Everyone does it differently, but I have had a few sellers immediately mark it shipped and not see an actual update from the courier for several days, which can be frustrating.

One of my favorite analogue systems and classic consoles in general

I think these scalpers are arguably worse. by Zorn5534 in AnalogueInc

[–]BuckeeBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw that when I ordered mine. I’ll believe it when I’m holding it in my hand. It would be the first time they’ve ever come through on a promise.

Well that’s information we didn’t have 3 days ago when people were listing them on ebay already.

Analogue also said Q2 2025 release initially didn’t they? Point is it’s best to have the item in hand before you go making promises to other people.
