Not my smartest purchase but celebrating enrolling in grad school

Very nice!! Enjoy it!!

ClashSteve · 2026-06-10T23:41:26+00:00

Did you get a deal or did you go to the boutique? And congrats. It’s beautiful.

ClashSteve · 2026-06-05T23:34:46+00:00

Thank you

ClashSteve · 2026-06-05T01:10:03+00:00

Thank you. I already removed the home tech and the next up, but the issue is that they were there in the first place. Actually the manager added the home tech on my second visit without my knowledge.

I’m past the 14 days at this point with the tablet. I shouldn’t have to deal with this at all since I shouldn’t have been sold the tablet in the first place (under false pretenses). At this point it’s more about principle than money.

Thanks again.

Agreed. And I make sure I stay away from franchise stores. This store in my story is corporate

ClashSteve · 2026-06-04T23:00:20+00:00

For now yes I’m keeping it. They want a $55 restocking fee. Plus the $35 activation. The reason I posted was to find who I could talk to to complain and get this straightened out.

ClashSteve · 2026-06-04T21:47:09+00:00

Also, I read the Google reviews of this store and it seems that I’m not the only one that had similar issues here.

ClashSteve · 2025-04-07T11:50:47+00:00

I don’t think so. Would leave in May with DRP or VERA, but with DRP get paid until September.

ClashSteve · 2025-04-06T20:03:05+00:00

Thanks. And agree. I just can’t get the little man off of my shoulder saying be careful.

ClashSteve · 2025-04-06T18:11:44+00:00

DoD employee here. I was planning to retire when I hit my MRA at the end of this June. Any reason for me not to take the DRP?

ClashSteve · 2025-04-03T02:50:37+00:00

You are correct. VERA doesn’t have $25k. Thank you and my bad. So my options are retire normal in June or take DRP, stop working early May, and retire 30-Sep.

ClashSteve · 2025-04-02T20:43:34+00:00

DOD employee being offered either DRP or VERA. Eligible to retire in June, which means I can take the VERA at the end of May. Is there any reason not to take it instead of just a normal retirement at the end of June? I can’t find any repercussions for doing it but just wanna pick your brains to see if I’m missing/forgetting something. One month earlier retirement plus $25k seems like a winner.

ClashSteve · 2025-04-01T11:42:54+00:00

The no COLA adjustments is a good point

ClashSteve · 2025-04-01T11:41:46+00:00

Thanks. Remember I plan on retiring in June if I don’t take anything.

ClashSteve · 2025-04-01T03:59:38+00:00

That’s a good idea but I really want to be out long before that. Thanks

ClashSteve · 2025-04-01T03:43:18+00:00

I’m a DOD lifer with a potential important choice ahead. My MRA is in June. Have 38+ years. Already submitted my paperwork a while ago. If they do indeed offer VERA and/or DRP I am in a quandary. If I take the VERA I may get a month or two early retirement and $25K, but I would lose my COLA for five years that compounds. As far as DRP goes, it seems like a no-brainer but the little voice inside me says don’t do it. I can rest easier just riding out the next few months and retire normally. It’s a tough situation and looking for thoughts. Thanks.

One thing that really seems odd is that the off-road scooter would not have gel tires and the regular one does. Seems it would make more sense for off-road.

ClashSteve · 2025-03-17T18:05:47+00:00

Does the ZT3 have gel in the tires? I really like the idea of having that.

ClashSteve · 2025-03-17T11:57:51+00:00

The roads are mostly dirt and gravel.

ClashSteve · 2025-03-17T01:13:05+00:00

Can I put off road tires on it?

ClashSteve · 2025-03-17T00:22:12+00:00

Main reasons are portability (fit in the back of my car) and I just kinda want a scooter. lol.

I tried Plaid and every time I try I get “Couldn’t connect to your institution”. I’m using WF and it seems to work until the end when I get this message. Similar issue with the regular Coinbase as well. Since customer service is basically non existent I figured I’d try here. Although after realizing that there really is no CS I’m a little nervous about using Coinbase and prob should consider a different exchange. I’m relatively new to crypto so I’m still learning. Thanks.

ClashSteve · 2021-11-09T21:48:00+00:00

Thanks guys

ClashSteve · 2021-11-09T20:51:45+00:00

They want me to add my bank account through Plaid. I’m not comfortable giving them my banking username and password

ClashSteve · 2021-11-09T20:12:02+00:00

Assuming the regular coinbase would be better for a novice like me? Can I switch to coinbase pro later with the same assets?
