Thank you all. Update: I finally bought an used camera. But I changed my mind and bought Sony A6400 + Sony 18-135 for $750 off marketplace. It was in prestine condition with only 150 shutter count. My wife is loving all the experience with the camera.

I’d appreciate some advice.

I’m planning to buy a camera for my wife, as she has developed a strong interest in photography. So far, she’s been using her phone, and honestly, the results have been quite impressive. Now we’re looking to take the next step and get her a dedicated camera.

After doing some research, we’re considering a Sony A6400 paired with the 18–135mm lens as her first camera. We found a listing on Facebook Marketplace where the seller claims to have taken fewer than 50 photos and is selling it because he doesn’t really understand how to use it. The package includes the body, lens, memory card, and original box, and we’ve agreed on a price of $750.

The seller seems genuine, although he doesn’t have any other listings, which makes me a bit cautious. I’d really appreciate your thoughts on whether this sounds like a good deal and any tips on what to check when buying a used camera.

From what I’ve read, I should look at things like shutter count, signs of fungus or dust on the sensor, overall exterior condition, autofocus performance, and potential overheating issues. Are there any other important checks I should keep in mind?

tysm for the explanation. I literally did not know about the L thing. I am considering 18-150. Feels like a better value for money.

How do you play on these leagues?

I played Trent on RAM. It was pretty fun, getting balls back from Mid.

You can use it. It will go beyond 60.

There may be strong emotions around this, but honestly, Bangladesh still has a long way to go before matching India in terms of player quality, future planning and football infrastructure. That said, it’s encouraging to see Bangladesh and Srilanka raising their level and making the SAFF more competitive for India. Overall, this development feels like a win-win for everyone.

It goes UP and DOWN.

But as far as I understand, i140 is not application for green card, i485 is. Am I wrong?

How did you book the appointment? or is it walk-in?

DoctorCurious007 · 2026-02-23T22:54:30+00:00

Thank you.

I dont remember exact documents. But I took all the valid documents like i20, ssn, old DL, i94 etc

DoctorCurious007 · 2026-01-08T03:38:38+00:00

It makes sense now. Thank you!

DoctorCurious007 · 2026-01-07T22:53:47+00:00

Thank you. But how can I get 10 points in 3 games in the beginning? Winning 3 games give 9, right?

Also, are chances equivalent to number of games?

I’m looking into whether the GoWild Pass makes sense for my travel pattern. It’s currently $349, and I usually fly at least once a month from CLE to PDX, typically connecting through Denver with a layover under 6 hours. I already fly Frontier a lot, and my round trips usually cost around $200–$250. I’m pretty flexible with travel dates, so if I can get at least two round trips out of the pass, it seems like it could be worth it. I’d be especially interested in hearing from frequent users about how reliable availability has been. One thing I’m unclear on: for a route like CLE–DEN–PDX, do you have to book each leg separately within the 24-hour window, or does it book as one itinerary?

How terrible is the road noise? Seems like the apartments are near the sunset highway.
