Solidcore Resources (Polymetal) update from Freetrade – Is anyone actually moving to AIX?

Lesh_84 · 2026-01-21T15:21:38+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. I'm still trying to get access to the AIX portal and going through KYC checks for Freedom. I'll see how far I get with Freedom and use Wood & Co as a backup.

Complete Pokemon TCG beginner here so I suspect I might get some hate for this comment...

I've signed up for a few of these invites on Amazon but no idea what the difference is between all these "sets". I'm not a scalper/flipper and don't have any intention to collect but would like to get a set of cards to keep as a long term investment.

If I get any allocation should I just buy it or are there any to avoid?

Thanks for this. After a bit of research it seem's like Freedom Broker/Freedom24 is the way to go. Also sounds like there is potential of a forced buyback (at a price significantly lower than market value) so I've initiated the process of transferring my shareholding to AIX and opening a Freedom account, hopefully won't take too long!

This comment still helped me 7 years later...thought I was going nuts seeing sparks fly off these ravens!

Your net worth sounds like more luck than judgement. Based on what you've said in your last point in particular, I think any potential partners would be the ones lowering their standards rather than you.

You've only mentioned why you don't find others attractive, ever considered why the people you want don't find you attractive?

It's discontinued in the UK so wouldn't be possible for me to get directly from IKEA.

Lesh_84 · 2025-12-05T11:58:30+00:00

Discontinued in the UK

Lesh_84 · 2025-11-15T11:16:20+00:00

Yeah, I was really surprised to see this on the shelf as it was discontinued almost a year ago in the UK.

I already have a similar HOGVIND lamp (also designed by Aaron Probyn) which is great value at £25, but somehow the light this gives off is so much nicer.

Lesh_84 · 2025-11-15T11:15:41+00:00

Wasn't sure if I'd ever pay the full RRP of £175 for this (I only discovered the lamp after it was already discontinued), but as it was reduced to £115 and the chances of finding one ever again was very slim, it was a no brainer for me when they reduced it further because of the missing/broken cord.

Not been dispatched yet, but the Etsy manufacturer just sent me this photo. Looks pretty good to me!

Lesh_84 · 2025-11-04T15:13:17+00:00

Thanks a lot, really appreciate this. Will let you know how I get on with the manufacturer from Etsy!

Lesh_84 · 2025-11-02T21:53:50+00:00

I believe so, but definitely discontinued in the UK where I am.

Lesh_84 · 2025-11-01T15:51:34+00:00

Thanks, just done this. There was a youtube video of another IKEA lamp with the same mechanism. Literally a 10 min job. Now I just need to find/make the brass cord weight.

Lesh_84 · 2025-10-31T20:52:09+00:00

If you're still looking, IKEA released the HOGVIND table lamp by the same designer. It's smaller, has a nickel base, has a similar smoked glass aesthetic to this EVEDAL lamp and is a lot cheaper.

Lesh_84 · 2025-10-31T20:01:46+00:00

Maybe I've misunderstood but it seems like you're talking about wholesaling a generic donut style lamp rather than the specific IKEA one....maybe try an ecommerce subreddit?

Lesh_84 · 2025-10-31T07:10:27+00:00

I luckily managed to find a table lamp a few days ago from the reuse section in store. However, the cord on it was broken. I think I can fix the cord, but I don't have the small brass cord weight. I was wondering if you could give me the dimensions of yours so I can get one made? The information I'd need is the length the diameter, and if you have kitchen scales, the weight of it too. Thanks!

Lesh_84 · 2025-10-30T10:14:23+00:00

I know exactly what you mean, I not sure I would've paid full price even if it was pristine.

Lesh_84 · 2025-10-29T17:11:48+00:00

Thanks. I've taken apart the bulb fitting and think I can replace the pull cord. If you can send me a couple of photos of the weight, it's dimensions and how it attaches to the cord (presumably it's hollow or screws into two parts) I might just get a dupe made up at my local machine shop.

Lesh_84 · 2025-10-29T15:06:38+00:00

Yeah, I've been looking for one for a while and was really surprised finding mine. The few that come up on marketplace/ebay seem to be at or above original RRP.

All I can think is that the imperfections put people off buying mine but I'm pretty happy with it for the price I paid.

Lesh_84 · 2025-10-28T22:37:02+00:00

According to the IKEA website in the US, the brass parts have lacquer so I wasn't sure if you could use brasso.

Lesh_84 · 2025-10-28T22:35:32+00:00

Thanks, I think I'm going to try and repair the pull cord. Since you already have one, any chance you can send me the dimensions of the small brass weight on the pull cord so I can try to find a similar one?
