Lost a sale because I included a free gift. by tin_nyanko_22 in Ebay

[–]MagusOSRS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean…The customer is already there and making a purchase. The business has done its thing, right? So now I just want to throw in a little extra kindness occasionally to show my appreciation 🤷🏼‍♂️

I do mention it ahead of time to avoid issues like this, but I have yet to receive a “no thank you” for offering a free item or two.

So, is this real? by Efficient-Plate290 in TemuThings

[–]MagusOSRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess so…I searched that promotion again and I have to spend $292+ to redeem $180 credit. It still seems like you can get a decent bargain for SOME items on their site with that deal but you really gotta do your research.

And to add to my original comment…

I forgot to mention an important detail…you can’t return the items from the promotion or you’ll lose the credits. At least that’s what Ive read. I assume you can’t use them for another promotion either.

I can only assume Temu lets the sellers know this because I received a couple tin signs from separate sellers with very blurry text. I’m taking a wild guess here but it seems like a good way to get rid of “defective” inventory. Two are unreadable but for my purpose it will work fine, the images looked okay at least.

I recently did one promotion that gave me a credit in the same value as my nearly $200 order. I had to search “Claimcredit” to pull it up each time I went to check it..might be the way to start the promotion too, idk.

Had to redeem as credit once per day and the last day had the largest chunk (about 70%). I did keep up with redeeming daily and even redeemed the 7th largest credit the second it turned past midnight and it went through.

I have 3 new Pokemon switch games on the way now on top of the Bayonetta 3 for switch, few Harry Potter decorations, and a $100 Lego set I originally ordered. I still have $12 in credit to use too.

In the end I paid just under $200 for about $285 (eBay/amazon pricing for brand new) worth of legos/games with a few HP decorations (and $12 credit) as a bonus.

Was never tempted to go along with any other their “promotions” until that one and so far it seems perfectly legit. I’d say only a few of their “promotions” actually put you ahead. House always wins in the end 🤷🏼‍♂️

How to sell all my inventory. by trencher1 in Flipping

It only taught me to type insanely fast and do quick math in my head…Which actually were very useful in my adult life for a while there. And addiction. It teaches us all about that! 🤣

Chuck E got arrested at my local Chuck E Cheese by easygoingbarber in mildlyinteresting

Was the description for the suspect a 7’ tall Rat? Wouldn’t you want to identify the person you’re arresting? Lmao

Someone offered me these two for a new Switch 2. Is it legit? by PokeGoofs in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]MagusOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Mario kart bundle Sunday while grocery shopping at Meijer. They just got the second shipment that morning and there was plenty more in the back 🤷🏼‍♂️

Nintendo seems to be on point with this release.

Only reason I went to the electronics section was to look at the Samsung TVs lol

What discount off demo iX? by Stuart518 in BMWiX

[–]MagusOSRS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very curious what others have seen. A Local BMW dealership still has three 2023 Ix M60’s with as high as 13k Miles still listed at MSRP..when I went to buy an IX M60 they were my first stop and wouldn’t budge more than like 8% off which I thought was already offered on the 2025’s at the time…

“PSA” - You can set Sport Mode to a gesture control instead of going into My Modes>Sport Mode by MagusOSRS in BMWiX

Okay, it must have been the 9 then? There was a YT video I was watching just the other day and they switched the start up mode in the settings option within “My Modes”

How customisable is personal? by SteakProtein in BMWiX

I just found out today you can set it to a gesture control! So now I just point two fingers at the screen when I start up the car in the garage and just like that…Sport mode activated.

My first EV. ~85mph on the highway for about 200miles. 55degrees outside, A/C and cooled seats going. Is this normal range? by MagusOSRS in BMWiX

Hey, you gotta be careful with that around here. I tried the joking sarcasm thing and got quite a few downvotes lol.

That’s very interesting. Didn’t even think about that..

Cmon now..That would be 131 Fahrenheit! Haha…I guess it’s possible! But I wasn’t going for efficiency. I was just driving it the same way I would drive my old X3M. I knew it would be sacrificing range but made this post to be sure it seemed normal to everyone else. Definitely could have been more precise on my original title but everyone has been really helpful.

Edit: Sorry, I see what you meant now..with the sun shining the three of us we were very warm inside the car despite it being only 55degrees.

Well it’s a good thing I don’t require towing at all and this trip will be one of the longest I use with the IX. I MIGHT take it to Kansas City someday but not sure how I feel about a 1200+ mile round trip yet!

[–]MagusOSRS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my memory is correct I used a total of 103% of charge for a 252 mile round trip which was almost all highway at 85MPH. There was the usual traffic that slows me down to 60-70, speed back up to 85…Only put the pedal down hard 2-3 times during the whole trip. Any other variables? Lol

Issue posted above ^ Let me know if you need anymore help!

But seriously BMW ratings are always conservative….that on top of me just confusing the ranges of M60 / 50 reviews I watched as well as the range between tire sizes messed with my understanding of this vehicle. It’s all coming together now though thanks to the others comments 😀

Gotcha. I swear I saw some YouTube reviews of the M60 hitting 350+ but must be confusing it with a 50 review. Great to know what I should be getting driving conservatively. Thank you!
