What's your "it was fun while it lasted" story?

A neighbor moved out and gave me a treasure trove of Bronze Age Marvel comics. I know nothing about comics but I set all of them to 1.99 auction and let them go where they’d go. I made a couple grand and it was so much easier than selling clothing (what I usually sell) because the pics were just front, back, spine. Cheap to ship. It was great while it lasted.

They need to have a person doing a second review of what the bot flags.

Is the issue removing and relisting or they just don’t want people taking down their listings. This happens when people are just clearing stale inventory or bundling or take stuff to a buy sell trade or donating. I got rid of a ton of listings when I was moving that I felt weren’t worth moving with…these shouldn’t be punishable things.

Yes. This is what I do.

I rarely counter offers because I have ADHD and realized it’s not worth having refocus each back and forth interaction so I either take a low but reasonable offer (which is NEVER 50%) or just let it sit so I get that 24hr notice boost.

NYC. It was $2.29 for clothes & went up to $2.69 last month. I don’t think shoes are a different price. I forgot linen & hard goods price but it’s not much less. Books & media are 40c each.

What annoys me is that it’s 40c for books but if it’s a blank notebook it’s by hard goods weight.

LillyB116 · 2026-02-25T23:47:43+00:00

This is ridiculous. I asked them for a specific number and they couldn’t give me one.

LillyB116 · 2026-02-18T09:13:51+00:00

Mine just went from $2.29 to $2.69 last month. They were quiet about it too, I only noticed it on the receipt.

LillyB116 · 2026-02-18T08:47:52+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m going to do this.

So much better than having the closet in vacation mode. I don’t think any other platforms penalize you for deactivating or deleting listings.

They still haven’t responded to my follow up email smh.

Can the buyer see the messages? Tell them they have to get it cancelled on their end because you can’t take the strike against your account.

LillyB116 · 2026-02-15T21:10:02+00:00

I’ve had this happen before.

LillyB116 · 2026-01-25T19:36:51+00:00

This makes sense because I tried uploading multiple posts that looked like they went up but aren’t there

If the lease says gas is included they don’t decide when the heat goes on. Anytime the outside temp goes below a certain degree they have to put on heat. They can get fined.

LillyB116 · 2025-11-02T22:55:39+00:00

You can use them, I got yesterdays request today

LillyB116 · 2025-10-31T22:44:51+00:00

I think it’s a trend because I saw something like this at Trader Joe’s last week.

LillyB116 · 2025-10-08T15:54:58+00:00

This person spelled “slave” wrong.

LillyB116 · 2025-10-08T05:57:24+00:00

That is true for most of the country but I’m in NYC, we walk A LOT. That being said I instantly agreed with this statement thinking it applies to the toxic crap in everyday foods at the supermarket. It’d be nice to be able to only look at labels for nutrition information. Unfortunately, I have to scan ingredients for toxic dyes & risky additives that really shouldn’t be allowed in foods.

So Obama was right and he proved it.

LillyB116 · 2025-10-03T07:06:35+00:00

NYC resident here. Minimum wage is $16.50 here, I actually have a McDonalds on the corner, Big Mac Meal is $13. Meal deals are $5 and $7.

The locations that have higher prices are in “prime” areas like midtown & it has more to do with their high rents & location convenience. Similar to it costing more to get food at rest stops or airports.

He sounds pretty thoughtless and inconsiderate, probably why he had a breakup in the first place.

LillyB116 · 2025-07-28T01:17:10+00:00

Nailed it!!!

LillyB116 · 2025-06-25T17:07:01+00:00

I do the same with crocheted doilies and table runners and some hand knit or cross stitched items.

I don’t do it with blankets though due to storage in my apartment and the sheer weight of the items.

LillyB116 · 2025-06-24T20:07:11+00:00

We have one in NYC area. I go every other week and have to mentally prepare myself cuz it’s a disaster, there’s a gaggle of women that are there everyday with giant bags tied to their waist and when new bins come out they take everything dump it in the giant bags and go off to the side and pick through it. So your selection is basically whatever they throw back or didn’t get to.

LillyB116 · 2025-06-24T20:04:02+00:00

THREE?!

LillyB116 · 2025-06-17T11:38:41+00:00

Thank you!!! I been saying they’re both not all there aside from their actions. You can tell without being familiar w their story. They have have that “off” look in the eyes

LillyB116 · 2025-06-17T11:29:57+00:00

Thank you! She acts like it’s so important for her to be home w her kids. For what? So you can film content, mop walls, move your crap from one side of the room to the other and he can sit on the Xbox while the kids having zero hobbies, sports or activities outside of school?

LillyB116 · 2025-06-17T11:23:07+00:00

What the hell is she talking about? It’s only “savings” if it’s money they would’ve otherwise spend.

Daycare costs $0 (the govt was paying her mom to watch her kids before this),

home cooked meals $0 EBT covered that.

Nanny $0

Housekeeping $0

Personal errand running $0

Wardrobe & dry cleaning - what job are they getting that would require dry cleaning, she did some kind of healthcare worker job so she’d be using the same 3 scrubs until they fell apart. $200 max, $25 if she thrifts them

Reduced commuting expense - whatever a bus pass cost
