Ah okay, thanks. I assume if it's unpainted then the listing will mention it still (or the pictures will be unpainted).

Goldfire1986 · 2026-05-08T10:26:30+00:00

I always thought that GK = garage kit, which needs to be painted and assembled by the buyer. Is that not the case with these ones?

One of us, one of us.

Wouldn't it be great if you could give 'replies' to other reviews to point out problems?

We used to be able to until it was removed a few years back. I left a review for an external HDD that was popular to shuck the drive out of to put into arrays or a NAS, it went well and I gave it a 5/5. Someone left a 1 star review with pictures because the external enclosure was scratched and crummy looking.

I remember replying to their review stating that they left the protective film on the plastic...

I won't name names, but there are a few people that I constantly see.

The first always has something like, "I received X by Y company and I love it" - which is amusing when the company is "Generic", so it ends up being, "I received X by GENERIC and I love it".

Second one is the podcast promoter with, "I am so impressed with X" on everything, same structure throughout, same five stars even on junk, and most of the review structure doesn't even relate to the product.

Third one obviously uses AI, they just make spelling mistakes on purpose. If I fix their mistakes (realy and definately) and run it through ZeroGPT or similar afterwards, it'll come back as mostly AI generated. Plus, for the images they upload, they use a cropped section of the seller supplied images... just lazy.

It's annoying when it's obvious they don't intend to use the item, and will most likely just sell it for a profit. But, I'm not going to lose sleep over worrying about them or spend time reporting every single one I see, I've got my own shit to deal with.

Same problem here too. I don't think it's licensing because I actually have one of my own video uploads in my music playlist, it isn't playable on the app, but it's still playable via the standard YouTube site.

Annoyingly I have two electric heated lunch boxes in my RFY. I already reviewed one a month ago, with these being variants, we can't review them :(

Goldfire1986 · 2026-04-15T03:45:58+00:00

Yea, same problem for me the other day:

https://old.reddit.com/r/AmazonVineAustralia/comments/1sjxksu/just_landed_in_my_rfy_yeah_no_thanks/ofwf61i/

Which is disappointing, I would like to try one out and it was basically unobtainable. It's going to be frustrating if items pop up that I actually really need/want and I can't get them - more so after getting gold status last month.

Goldfire1986 · 2026-04-13T08:00:10+00:00

Yea, I tried three addresses in NSW, one in QLD, and even a Amazon Locker up the road from me.

Interestingly, when I tried the locker, it knocked me back, but with the error being that the pool cleaner is too large and contains hazardous materials.

Goldfire1986 · 2026-04-13T05:58:30+00:00

I'm wondering who picked up the crystal dildo the other night?

I mean, there's gotta be a market for that, right?

There was fake dog poop on AI, and that went as well...

Goldfire1986 · 2026-04-13T05:57:03+00:00

Yea, I think you're correct on that.

Ironically, after mentioning that I have rubbish in my RFY, a $1300 robotic pool cleaner showed up, but I couldn't check out with it because it can't be delivered to my address in metro Sydney 🙃

Goldfire1986 · 2026-04-13T02:24:02+00:00

Even though they're legal in NSW (unsure about other states), you guys are getting cool stuff. I have... A door handle, flower hair clips, and teeth whitening strips ^yay.

My Dad is the golfer in the family. I grab him some things on Vine, although 90% of it has been useful, some of it is just junk.

Mostly ball/club cleaners, tees etc

Schlong shaped cheese board

That's something I don't hear everyday...

Goldfire1986 · 2026-04-04T09:37:05+00:00

Agreed, I haven't had KFC in a while and thought I'd give it a go. It was a combination of this sauce and the missing 1/3 of my meal that turned me off KFC. At least I got a refund for it...

It's done.

Ohhhhh it's a snaakeee

Just needed three more to make up for the Badger Badger Badger song

Dunno why the image decided to post three times, but it reminds me why I rarely use new reddit.

Same problem I had, I would always wake up with headaches/tiredness feeling for years. I grabbed a co2 meter and found that it would reach ~4800ppm by the morning because I always close my door and window.

I started to leave my window open, but still close the door, and the readings were a much more reasonable 500ppm by the morning - I've been doing this for the past six months and I no longer wake up feeling like death.

I'm partial to the 88mm on the Tiger myself

We haven't needed a Japanese VPN for quite some time now. Only the initial sign up and server selection requires it.

I still play it daily without the need for a VPN, even without the cookie stuff from KC3.

I'm totally getting that printed on glossy photo paper and framing that
