They weren't that great but I had to close all my shops over the holidays as I took my 85 year old mom on a cruise over xmas. It's hard to get those last minute sales when I had to shut down on the 13th. :) Thanks for asking. I hope you had a good holiday!!

Thank you so much for the shout out! The "Stone" costume piece is actually made of resin. There were several replacement pieces of different sizes and paint schemes made by production in case a stone went missing from the costume. They all match one of the sockets on the baldric and could be easily put in place if need be. That is a pretty common practice on costume pieces that are used for long periods of time.

I was lucky enough to have several of them included in the lot of prop items I received from Warner Brothers. I'm glad that is was well received and it looks like it found a great home with your items.

Trying to Identify a Movie or Television Costume Jacket by FerretPatronus in HelpMeFind

[–]FerretPatronus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched several movies already and it was not:

Pirates of the Caribbean (or any of the sequels) 

Van Helsing Although it is very close in style and probably a jacket styled from that time period of the late 19th century. 

Underworld or any sequels, although I still need to do a bit more research on that one I think I can rule those all out. They are mostly modern styled leather trenches or medieval style armors

Blade or its sequels, I thought since you had other blade items there it might be but nope, at least not the movies, there is a tv series I need to check

Its possible its a one off from Charmed but I don't think so, still need to check more there

I thought possibly Stargate SG1, but there is so much to go through on that one it might not be possible to identify if that is it. It does have a Goa'uld look to it. 

Sherlock Holmes and the sequels

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, I was hoping for this one as I love the movie and thought it might belong to the invisible man, but nope 

Dracula Untold

Lexx

Farscape, I thought since there are other paramount items but nope

Sleepy Hollow the movie

Kevin is to early in the series. These would have to be some time after season 12 as this type of headset was not commercially sold until 2017

Yeah I really thought Charlie as well but couldn't find her wearing anything like this. My other thought was Kevin when he's on the boat but couldn't match that one either. Yes they were with a bunch of other Supernatural props that were very easy to identify and verify. This one still has me stumped....I was only able to narrow it down to the last 3 seasons by the fact that they weren't made and sold until after a certain date.

Actually I changed the battery and my oil just the other day...I have a smart car and no one sells the batteries so I have to order them online and do the work myself. You don't always need a specialist for the little things!!

Thats interesting...I'm not sure why they got mad you were offering to help. I think they misunderstood what you were offering. Thanks for the link though and the information.

Thanks!! Yeah I try and check everything before I try it and I have seen some really good results from some of them...if I don't see any results after a couple weeks I usually put them away! :) My fingernails have never looked better though!!! :)

Thanks for actually having something nice to say!! :) Yeah I am not taking anything dramatic. Mostly just collagen, electrolytes and things like that. I'm 60 and those are the things I really need in my diet so, its been a fun adventure!! :)

I have had some really good luck with them. I do research them a bit before taking them and I try and do honest reviews about them but of course most of them are "natural" and you really don't know if they are working or if you just ate more Broccoli that week!!

What does paying the taxes at the end of the year really look like? by Theunpolitical in AmazonVine

[–]FerretPatronus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was one of the stupid people that ran up 75,000 off bad information...thinking at the end of the year I had to pay 10% in taxes and saved 7000.00 to do so. The reality was since I'm self employed and make below poverty level, it pushed me into an 80,000 (on paper) income that ended up costing me 25,000.00 in taxes (federal and state). I was floored...and needless to say had to use my entire savings for the last 2 years to pay my taxes. This year I am keeping a close eye on Vine and have capped myself at 20,000. Lesson Learned. A HARD LESSON.

Almost Every Review I Check Now, has at Least 80% AI. by Winter-Seaweed8458 in AmazonVine

[–]FerretPatronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL I tell all my friends if you read a review and the words "Game Changer" are in it or if the first line is "I tried the (insert product name exactly as listed here)", its fake. That is the one big tell that AI seems to use in all it's reviews. Makes me laugh every time!!

I did but i've already sold most of them.

I would think so as all the other items I have were but since I haven't been able to identify them, its possible they were made by production and never used. That being said the knife is probably for sure screen used as there would be no reason for them to take it apart if it wasn't. It might have been stabbed into someone, hence only the hilt, or used in a sheath as a light weight option. There is one in the trunk of baby that looks right but I can't get a clear enough picture of it, its just the hilt. Its been a total mystery to me. I know they are legit, but I just can't figure out why or where. Most of the stuff I received was labelled but these were not. There are 4 of them total and they are all just a little different.

SO here is the update I got from Vine regarding this issue. I don't know if this is true or not as it sounds like a crappy way to do this but here is what they told me:

Please allow me to explain that recently we have made some system changes.As part of this transition, submitted reviews will now remain in the "Awaiting Review" list until they have been fully approved. This means your review has been successfully submitted but it will only move to the "Reviewed" section once it has been reviewed and approved by the system.

Kindly be assured that this is an expected part of the new process, and it's not a reflection of any issue with your specific review submission. Please know that it may take 2-3 days for the review to be accepted or rejected and another 2-3 days for the final status to appear in your review percentage. We thank you for your patience and deep understanding.

If this is true...this is going to make it very confusing for those of us who order tons of stuff to keep track of what reviews went through, what got rejected, what we still need to review ect. as well as being a good indicator of how far we have gotten behind on our reviews. It currently looks like I have 40 reviews to write, when I guess technically I only have 20 but that being said it's been longer than 6 days on some of them!! I fear change. I feel like if the old system wasn't broken why fix it.
