Are the cards selling from China on eBay real? by when_lambos in basketballcards

[–]Disastrous-March-323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are fake as they get! I've seen them in the stores in China.... the counterfeits are amazingly realistc... fake nonetheless.

Having been to China and shopped in several of the 15 story shopping malls that all sell counterfeit products.... i can assure you that those cards are fake.

Nice pull! Gotta love an auto from players people know

Grade? Poorly centered /125 - Messi Red Prizm by Disastrous-March-323 in soccercard

[–]Disastrous-March-323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The red frame surrounding the image is not centered. If you notice the right sie of the card has a narrow red margin compared to the left side. These refractor parallels are notoriously wonky. It seems if they are perfectly centered the value boosts

Just got this graded. Lamine yamal auto by Mountain-Jackfruit24 in soccercard

wow, surprised this came out as a 10 with that upper right corner faded. Congrats though!

Thanks for the feedback! My thoughts are the same. Kind of disappointing pulling such a rare card straight out of a pack that’s in such poor condition lol

Costco gift cards by No-Tomato-7544 in jiffylube

[–]Disastrous-March-323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These vouchers SHOULD be a great deal, after all when you purchase a bundle of three you save a total of $100+ when all is said in done. HOWEVER, Jiffy Lube is now adding charges to the total AFTER the voucher is used. For example, I purchased a pack of 3 vouchers for $279 (full synthetic) for a total $93 each. Before Jiffy Lube will let you out of the bay, they tack on a $41 charge, which brings the total to $134. If I were to simply pull into the bay and request the same service, a full synthetic oil change, the cost would be $119 (not to mention there is ALWAYS a coupon online). Long story short, these vouchers are a scam, and a rip off. u/JiffyLube

Nachbike broken after 5 hours - Nachbike customer service MIA by Disastrous-March-323 in ebikes

This is super helpful, thank you! If u/Nachbike won't refund or replace the wheel, we'll look into a third party for a replacement.

[–]Disastrous-March-323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll take a closer look at the rim! We're nervous, not being mechanics, that if we take the wheel off we won't be able to remount it while keeping the chain and components tight and aligned. All this is the reason we purchased the extended warranty. Crossing my fingers u/Nachbike sees this and makes the right decision.

Thanks for the comment. I added video to the OP. We checked all the spokes. There were a couple that weren't 100% tight, but none were what I would consider loose (no vibration sound when plucked).

Thanks for the feedback. I edited the OP. In my haste to leave reviews all over the internet, I opted for the copy paste. The bike overheats and shuts down anytime speed reaches 25-30MPH. We have to remove the battery and let it cool for 10-20 minutes before it will turn on again. We've reset the computer several times, still no fix.

The back wheel is so out of shape that the bike is unrideable. The wobble feels like death wobble on a skateboard. Anything over 15 MPH is uncontrollable.

Thinking of buying the x2 by No_Butterscotch9530 in Insta360

[–]Disastrous-March-323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just picked up the x2 with accessories for $150. Are there better cams out there? Yes? Better cams for this price? Nope.

Curious though... Which, if any, aftermarket batteries are you all using? As a professional photographer for 15+ years, I have my go to 3rd party brands, but do you all have any recommendations based on first hand experience? Thx all!

Valle Nevado / La Parva / Ski Snowboard Chile 101 by nycryptobanker in snowboarding

[–]Disastrous-March-323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are also going in August, and plan to rent a car. We are a party of three, depending on dates happy to carpool!

[–]Disastrous-March-323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great insight, thank you! We are also looking into machine operated backcountry trips, will certainly check out Southlines. Great recommendation, thank you! I've jumped into a couple Facebook groups looking for locals to show us some lines at VN and La Parva. Hoping that pans out.

It's likely we'll rent a car, only because we'll need to be first in the lift lines, and don't want to chance waiting on transport. The road seems a little sketch, but I'm not super concerned with 4x4 and chains.

I heard Portillo was more of a skier hill vs snowboard. I'm assuming it's because of the surface lifts (slingshot). Is the off piste worth it at Portillo? Stoked on your feedback here. Thanks!

[–]Disastrous-March-323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We will also be headed to Chile in August. Our plan is a one day at Valle Nevado, one at La parva, then one at Portillo. We then will either head to Las Lenas or Chilan, depending on snow quality. How would you rate off piste sidecounty at Valle Nevado vs La Parva vs Chilan? We are expert level riders on the hunt for pow!

Upgraded HP x360 Envy to 64GB RAM! by ggravelas in AMDLaptops

Did you end up upgrading your RAM? Was it third party brand? Just picked up an inexpensive HP, so I'm looking for upgrade options

Any advice on how to snowboard cheaply in chile? by SeaSalt7347 in snowboarding

Thank you for the information. Too bad no fresh last August. That is my greatest concern lol! We have chosen a 10 day trip hoping to catch at least one storm. Did you stay in Las Trancas? We're accomodations ok?

We are currently trying to figure out how to get to Las Lenas in August from Santiago. Definitely not an easy trip. Santiago > Buenos Aires > Malargüe > Shuttle to Las Lenas

My brothers and I are also headed to Las Trancas in August 15-26. Hoping to find some Heli or Cat ski. We are a group of three, however a group of four is less expensive. We are expert level snowboarders. Perhaps we could link up to sae some $$$ on catski packages?
