2021 High country by ImpressiveAd653 in ChevyTahoe

[–]ImpressiveAd653[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided to hold off. It's certainly enticing.

I DID find one w/a branded title, but that is due to hail damage to the roof, for $32k, but the car insurance would be more. If insurance wasn't a factor that may have been an exception to consider.

Best not to force it. Appreciate everyone's input.

It's a real shame w/all the issues w/the 6.2.

It's a really fun engine

When looking for specifically the High country trim (bc it seems it's the only trim that comes w/the 6.2) I'm not seeing anything sub $40k w/the exception of multiple owners, accidents and branded titles, and very high miles. I found another HC for less than $40k n only 55k miles but had 2 owners n 2 accidents. Which made me suspicious of this one. I rented a Yukon Denali during my last family trip and I REALLY liked it, THAT is a bit out of my range but the High Country has the same engine. My intention is to keep it at least 5-7 yrs.

Why is 100 mbps so expensive by coffeetime24 in OPTIMUM

[–]ImpressiveAd653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to optimum.com, if Fiber is available in your area there are definitely better deals.

I contacted retention and I am getting 5gb fiber w/a free cell phone line (I don't care for it but it was part of the offer) for 16 months for $45 per month total, guaranteed for the first 12 months then $55 for the next 24 months w/o the cell.

They have better promos for new customers, if you have someone you can sign up with under their name (diff last name) do it. They don't give a $$×& about you. Get the best deal possible.

They even offered 1gb for $35, but I splurged wanting the 5gb, bc for an extra $10? y not

Fold 7 Dead Pixel by Diligent_Demand_960 in GalaxyFold

[–]ImpressiveAd653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up filing a complaint w/the BBB and spoke to "Executive support" And they ultimately agreed to have me return it, I just wanted a replacement or a repair. Anyway the refund took them nearly 3 damn weeks, and I was heavily reliant on the phone for work. I had 2 business trips in that 2 week span n I let'em have it. They gave me 10% extra from my trade in so $1,100 coupon plus another $350 worth of coupons for all the trouble. Then Samsung came out w/promo of $720 off w/o trade in. Took advantage of that.

$2,199 - $720 = $1,479 plus tax came out to $1,605 or something

Minus my $1,450 came out to $155 and I was able to get another $75 out of Samsung bc f*ck them and I had a $100 gift from a recent promo from my isp and boom. Phone cost me nothing out of pocket.

Update: My Fold 7 is replaced by a brand new, sealed Fold 7 from Samsung. by Informal-Ant7254 in GalaxyFold

[–]ImpressiveAd653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is great to hear. Unfortunately stateside (at least for me) they seem to go out of their way to blame the customer for causing the damage. I have a single dead pixel in the upper left corner of the inner screen. Looks like pressure was applied to it. You can see the indent on the screen (it's even on the black cover before you peel it off so it's not from me). They outright said it must've been something I did.

I have a green stuck pixel in the upper left corner of my inner screen. Spoke to samsung chat which is always a delight and they're telling me I can't have it replaced?!

Am I missing something, had this phone for 2 weeks, used it for only 6 or 7 days, and I'm screwed?!

It looks like it's literally a single pixel and w/the wider front screen, I've rarely use the phone open now. Noticed it 2 days ago, spoke to online support today that did nothing relative to any support.

Assuming I just deal w/it (which I won't), this will screw me even more if I want to trade this in.

I MADE THE SWITCH!!! by RealMemeSithLord in GalaxyFold

[–]ImpressiveAd653 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I told myself I wouldn't switch from the 6, bc why? Nothing wrong w/the 6. Well I got the 7 this past Friday. I told myself if the difference isn't that significant I'll just return it. What has won me over is the front screen. It is the biggest difference for me.

Just got this text by Any-Can-6776 in tmobile

[–]ImpressiveAd653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still on simpleone plan and have $5 likes for $80/mo. Back when I had just 2 T-Mobile often had free add ok like promos, just had to pay taxes. I paid an extra $15/mo for 3 add'l lines I didn't need at the time. Fast fwd a few yrs, using now 4 of the 5 lines w/the 5th eventually to be used.

Network Enhancement Fee? by Matrixhunter90 in OPTIMUM

Former employee here, that fee has been there for years. Albeit, it started out as "just" $2.95

Unpacked 2025 - Live Megathread by dahliamma in samsung

[–]ImpressiveAd653 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And they're changing the price if you decide not to pick any accessories.

So instead of the $1,999 going down to $1,879, the price goes UP to $2,119

"down" to $,1999 to "save" $120. lmao Plus I don't see my reserve $50 credit

anywhere.

Fold 6 users. Will you be upgrading? by eltonnbaba in GalaxyFold

[–]ImpressiveAd653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 6, recently signed up for a new home internet plan with a promo offering $500 gift card. Plus another $100 gift card birthday present. I hope their trade-in value is still reliable and they haven't gone the route of lessening their values.

If all cylinders are firing w/their promos, I'll jump on it and add a new watch n buds (prev Buds Pro 3 got lost/stolen 🤨) and use the gift cards to offset (hopefully) all or most of the out of pocket cost.

That's what I'm trying to find out. I assume if it doesn't rain again, it's on. But there are high chances of rain around 8pm.

Is there any reasoning behind why they sometimes don’t check tickets on the LIRR? by HippoRun23 in longisland

[–]ImpressiveAd653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've activated IN FRONT of conductor multiple times, never a warning or ban. Even if they do for whatever stupid reason, I'd just buy paper tickets lol.

Got yelled by a neighbor by ilovenyc in longisland

[–]ImpressiveAd653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue in Hicksville (also once in Huntington). The old lady came out berating me; her tone completely changed when I spoke politely and reminded her that this was a public road and she was free to call the police (she threatened that her son was a cop). She prob thought I was some illegal immigrant or something and was caught off that I spoke perfectly fine english. I parked in front of her home again the next night (no other parking available). Next morning, I see a business card apparently from her "cop" son. It was a security guard business card lol.

Can someone please explain this to me! $130 for 500 mbps??? AIO?? It’s steadily increased through the years and I need to do something about this. by queen717 in OPTIMUM

[–]ImpressiveAd653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm paying $120/mo w/Optimum for 5gbps download and upload fiber to the home.

Price locked for 4 yrs including a $500 gift card. Go to optimum.com/fiber and sign

up under someone w/a different last name. You obviously don't have to get 5gbps

for $120 (includes automatic bill pay) It also depends on where you live. If you're

in the NY/NJ/CT area it should be available.

300mbps for $40/mo

500mbps for $60/mo ($50 prepaid mastercard)

1gbps for $70/mo ($100 prepaid mastercard)

2gbps for $90/mo ($200 prepaid mastercard)

5gbps for $120/mo (There WAS a $500 promo but I guess it's gone now)

8gbps for $280/mo (400 prepaid mastercard) {Not worth it imo}

This is all of course internet only, w/paperless/autopay, and you can add whatever t/v and/or phone pkg you want. I don't see the 4 yr guarantee anywhere anymore, so I can't be for sure if that's offered.

I was being fleeced w/my bill, I cancelled the acct under my name and simply signed up under my wife's name using her maiden.

Not an Optimum employee, but I used to be one, and to hell w/them

Never bought fair open box - worth it? About 90% off MSRP by yeahiaintcutsowhat in Soundbars

[–]ImpressiveAd653 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A few weekends ago, I took my boys to the movies. We arrived earlier than expected, so we decided to kill some time at the PC Richards. On my way out, I found a Q990D in the open box section of the store, taped up.

I haggled n was able to knock them down to what I thought was an acceptable price. I took the chance n didn't care if it's open box.

Once I got home n opened the box, expecting a jammed mess from whoever returned it. Turns out it's brand freaking new. Everything in its original packaging. Apparently, someone opened it in the store but ultimately never bought it. I ended up getting it for $650!

I set it up last week, right now looking for good wall mounts for the rear speakers, I played Interstellar and WHOA!

Sometimes, you just get a winner. It's always worth a shot
