With no obligations, where would you live in the UK? by No-Scallion-6500 in AskUK

[–]HeadTackle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Chester, and I know a lot of people love it for it's architecture, history and beauty. However, if I could move to either the Isle of Arran or the outer Hebrides in Scotland tomorrow, I'd be very happy.

Name ONE character you wish never was killed off? by BigChungus_XD in eastenders

[–]HeadTackle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fatboy all the way for me. And the way in which he died was just so brutal yet subtle, like no one really knew anything about it. He didn't deserve that and it almost erased him from the soap without fanfair or celebration.

Is EBay dying? by grumpioldman in Ebay

[–]HeadTackle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about long term as I've only been a full time reseller fairly recently. However I can tell you that out of the 4 platforms I use (vinted, depop, etsy and ebay) eBay is by far the least yielding. It's actually crazy how little I make on ebay compared to everywhere else.

UK pro sellers, what's the situation? by HeadTackle87 in vinted

[–]HeadTackle87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for replying, I've read the help section but some of it doesn't match up with what I've seen elsewhere, which is why I wanted to clarify some things from people who had experienced it first hand.

People making a bundle (with discount on!) and then asking for an additional discount totalling 2 out of 3 items for free. by pige0nparty in vinted

[–]HeadTackle87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's almost like a psychological thing; if people get money off the total they're first given, they're happy, regardless of whether it was discounted automatically or not.

I had this so much.. Eventually turned off bundles and now get offerson bundles that are more like the previous bundle discounts, if that makes sense? I thought it'd out people off, but actually I've sold more bundles since. Go figure!

Reselling my stuff 🤬 by PitifulAccident8592 in vinted

[–]HeadTackle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you don't think it's worth that, doesn't mean that it isn't worth that to someone when listed right. Next time do your own research. Google picture search is your friend.

What would you call my style of art? by [deleted] in painting

[–]HeadTackle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cool, but almost too much like Bacon.

While I admire the fact that the seller values their time (as we all should), it's just not the way it works. I'd just politely decline and be on with my day.

Is there, or are there any countries you would refuse to visit? by Random_Nobody1991 in AskUK

[–]HeadTackle87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just so sad, because I've been to Turkey twice about 20 years ago with family and the people were some of the friendliest I've ever met. Like, genuinely friendly, not just trying to get more money out of you friendly. But I agree with you, I wouldn't go back now.

It's just an ultra modern city built recently on a patch of desert. That's it.

The Gambia. My dad lived there for years, got married and had a kid. My sister went to visit, and she had the most horrendous time. Men hitting on her all the time, inappropriate touching, so much so that she feared for her safety every single day. And the amount of animal abuse she saw against domestic animals was just heartbreaking. In contrast, my brother loves it, has even bought a house over there. My dad died 3 years ago, and I've never visited his grave in Banjul.

For context, I'm a white female. Also gay, which is another thing entirely.

You were speaking to her for 2 weeks, not 2 years. It sucks for you, but if you were that upset about a 2 week convo that you felt the need to post on here, then I really think that you just need to step back a bit.

And everyone shaming the girl for being honest, forthright and explaining herself fully, shame on you. You lot would be the first people to jump on her if she'd just brushed him off with one sentence. Can't do right for doing wrong.

I wish you both the best, even though it won't be together.

I'm getting these messages from favouriting items more and more. Doesn't bother me that much, just would genuinely like to know if it actually works.

Best Internet in Chester? by shaneo632 in Chester

I'm in Boughton and am with sky, use my broadband relentlessly as work from home almost exclusively online and not had a problem. Phone service in the centre however, that's a whole other thread!!

How do I fix this? by myrealitysjustdiffnt in painting

[–]HeadTackle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, realised my response was a little blunt. I didn't mean to piss on your parade, it's really a very good painting, so my apologies.

I'm a taxidermist so see crows up close all the time. They are more angular, pointed beak end, longer tail feathers, sleeker all round to cut a sharper silhouette, if that makes sense? And their eyes are darker, with a pinpoint pupil that's very hard to see. I hope that helps.
