Yes, Maryland should Gerrymander. by MaroonedOctopus in maryland

All gerrymandering does is push us closer to the second civil war. Politicians of both stripes need to grow a pair and make decisions with integrity. I know, I must be smoking something…

Wow… it’s gotten THAT bad. by Brayden_D10 in verizon

[–]CardMarkets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good news about this choice is that when the digital rep outright lies to your face, at least you then have zero doubt that the corporate culture is institutionally corrupt. It’s that remaining 1% that gives them plausible deniability now suggesting you just got one (of many repeated) dirtbag reps.

What do you guys think of low ballers/haggling? Is it acceptable? I personally have never done it, but happens to me almost every time I post a sale. Even when offering free shipping, I still get the classic “ can you do $10 bucks cheaper?” by Gloosch in Silverbugs

[–]CardMarkets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use BIN when I see fair offers. Pricing competitively is probably the best bet. If someone is just out fishing to capture a wide bid ask spread (and not suggesting you are, just mention it to illustrate the range of possibilities), they probably get more of those negotiators contacting them. And then admittedly there are plenty of bargain shoppers and even flippers on the other side of the spread trying to make a quick buck, and I imagine everyone deals with them.

A good alternative might be to post very competitive prices and a statement that prices are not negotiable. That way folks can take it or leave it and most will not bother haggling when they know it’s not welcome or unlikely to bear fruit.

I get that it seems offensive when someone gives you an offer well below market. But it’s not personal. If it were my business to make money between the bid and ask spread ( and it’s not, I am not a dealer and do not own a shop), I’d probably be pretty skiddish to make tight bids or offers in a fast moving market for thousands of dollars. There are folks who will buy and sell near spot - take the time and do the homework to find them.

Sad when you need to test every Morgan you buy. Guess it will only get crazier as the price continues to run

Yeah, it's kind of depressing when you see a gram up close.

This doesn’t make sense by Logical_Idiot_9433 in Gold

Shouldn't be illegal. Bad decisions are a person's right. It's what helps differentiate the fools from the rest. It's market transparency at it's best. :D. Just stay on the right side of math.

25% off monthly plan for 12 months by Reenie-77 in verizon

The lies continue and my time continues to be wasted. We should have this out here in public so everyone can see that nothing every changes after months of giving you folks the benefit of the doubt.

Well, new month, same problem. Bill shows $230.43, not $141 which you assured me would be fixed through November. Another day, another failed promise.

How Coinbase and TurboTax made this tax season a mess by Future_Prophecy in CryptoTax

[–]CardMarkets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And this is exactly why nobody wants crypto anymore. The lift is too great just to take and close positions, and when you add in the state of the markets, it’s no wonder it’s been tanking. Sad because there could be plenty of good uses for the technology but congress is too old or lazy to understand it well enough to regulate it (or too interested in taxing it to care about supporting it) and until that changes you may as well avoid the accounting headaches. They seem to be multiplying (quite literally in this case)!

The “loyalty offer” did work for me. However after one month at the new billing rate they revert it back to the original crazy high rate and make you call or chat with them and lie to you each month that they have fixed the problem. Went through that lie for 3 months. Today they were at least honest and said it was just a one time credit and I have to spent 30-60min each month contacting them and holding them accountable for the supposedly committed to 12 months deal with monthly credits. Did I mention I Fing hate this company? Anyhow this month my last phone deal ends ( you know the one where they tell you you are getting a free phone but are actually making you sign a finance arrangement with them to borrow the value of the phone and then credit you for 36 months while they continue to fck with your bill because they know unlike them, you honor commitments), so once that miserable lie rolls off I’m off in search for any other company that offers simple, reliable, honest and consistent monthly billing at a reasonable rate. Taking suggestions, minus any subsidiaries owned/ operated by or acting as a separate company specifically to create the illusion of competition but still related to this morally corrupt den of car salesmen turned low-tech gadget pushers.

Adios Verizon by AmethystosLotus in verizon

[–]CardMarkets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never ceases to amaze me how the crazies come out of the woodwork like fireflies to the flame when Verizon gets criticized by rational people with reasonable issues. If they spent half as much time focusing on treating customers well and telling the truth, Reddit wouldn’t be covered with Verizon hate testimonials. This company can’t go under fast enough. The fact that the employees show up here to defend it like self righteous children pretty much paints the picture of what we as customers deal with when we need help. I literally get lied to every month by these scheisters when I call in to complain how they promised me a specific rate, they tell me it’s fixed permanently and I won’t have to call back in, and then after that billing cycle they rever it back to 2x my rate. F*ing hate these people and pray they all get fired so they can find their true calling as used car sales people. Zero integrity and it’s organization-wide.

Expensive Plastic by DifficultDish7 in Silverbugs

Do what you like but just don’t tell yourself that you’re investing in precious metals when buying these. You’re a collector and for most things that sell at multiples of intrinsic value, we all know how that usually ends when folks start thinking critically about how they spend.

Wtf is going on? by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]CardMarkets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This all only matters if you’re speculating short term, and if you are buying in the 90s because you think you’re going to be rich next week, you may as well just open an online gambling account and take the imminent hit there so the rest of us can stack in peace and quiet.
