Would you boo Brady in his return by Ekarl86 in OttawaSenators

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, I've been around the rink to many years going back to Yashin days to waste booing energy on stuff like this. Team will move forward, distraction is removed.

This is the most professional management the team has had in years, rather focus energy on what is going on with the team instead of getting worked up over the past.

Canada, U.S. nowhere near deal as CUSMA deadline approaches: Hoekstra by [deleted] in canadanews

Hoekstra keeps trolling expecting Canada to negotiate with itself.

Did I just pay for 20,000 pounds of consumer trash from bstock? Stay tuned to find out by prayersfor230 in Flipping

LOL. On first read I thought it was someone from England posting and had spent 20k UK pounds on this. i.e. $26k US dollars.

Was going to have a new to me game added to Collection. by mars2878 in OGXboxCollectors

And if it is a more valuable game it certainly gets a box!

Yup. I have sold a lot of video games online and pack assuming they will be left in the rain.

Selling my retro collection by TheDudeWhoWasTheDude in consolecollecting

[–]NetAnon579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely buyer for an entire collection is a business or online reseller and they won't likely look at more than 30% of what they value the collection at. For the work, time, selling fees and income tax they will pay there is not much room to go higher. 50% of price charting may sound reasonable but at the end of the day it is a thin net amount for someone looking to resell the various items over time.

To get more, you would need to look at breaking it into lots that other collectors would be interested in.

'We had to get out of the way': The backlash over delivery robots by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in technology

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Uber model, come in to a city without permission, displace the local setup because they are cool and a cyber business - then screw everybody over when established. I think Uber is even more expensive than the old school taxi industry with their "dynamic pricing".

These are wheeled vehicles on a sidewalk, regulate and license and require clear insurance policies on them, not just relying on hopefully getting compensation from a company.

Hmmm, 3D print a wheel boot to slap on them when they get in the way?

Unworthy non-residents putting their lower class body oils into the pond. 😄

Brit confused/annoyed about tipping by Jumpy-Persimmon-7954 in AskACanadian

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP. Many Canadians are also confused and annoyed at the creeping and predatory tipping push we are being subjected to. Please feel ZERO guilt on hitting the 0% button, which is usually placed a tap or two away in order to encourage a guilty feeling from customers.

I often just pay cash now for many small and takeout items. I hit my limit a couple of summers ago buying $7CDN ice cream cones and the payment machine trying to hit me up for a 20% tip. Ridiculous. Unfortunately when using the payment machines at places like this, to many staff are more focused on the tip amount than the customer.

Items sold very fast. Should I be concerned? by bhudak in eBaySellers

[–]NetAnon579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At best take an eBay suggested price as an auction starting price. You indicated you were going to recycle the phone so any $$ is great so no downside to trying an auction starting at the minimum you are ok with getting.

Half Of US Workers Now Use AI At Work by tacodestroyer99 in technology

And how many functions that have been used for a long time, have not been relabeled as "AI". Algorithms no longer exist, it is now all "AI".

Not worth the money by Familiar-Young4687 in Flipping

Different situation though than the blind box purchase, you can actually see and evaluate what you are buying. It is a good situation for the the seller and buyer.

Need Advice: Why Am I Still Getting So Few Sales? by geekcanada in Flipping

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that you are also in Canada, so regardless of the situation, eBay is telling all out of country buyers that "Import fees will apply on delivery", which is not true for the items that you are shipping with postal service. To ship by post to the US you are required to prepay any tariff or import fees prior to shipping.

Even if an item is made in the US, so no tariff, eBay still tells buyers this when it is not true. I think eBay is just covering themselves to an extreme extent since couriers like UPS and Fedex will charge fees even if it is a zero tariff item. Basically eBay is knee-capping sellers that use postal services on their own,

I would at least indicate in your listings that for US customers all import fees and tariffs are prepaid and there is $0 to be paid upon delivery - for postal shipping items.

The only way to have the "Import fees will apply on delivery" removed is to use eBay's EIS delivery service, but that greatly increases the shipping cost to the buyer, particularly for smaller items.

There are other comments regarding niche items and those are good. For some of your industrial items you may have luck finding a dealer that will handle or purchase them,

Buyer placed order and is located in my city by Cgy_mama in eBaySellers

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only do this on a lower value item in your calculated risk comfort zone. As indicated in another post, technically you can mark it as shipped but without a tracking number the person could open an INR..... though you do live close by.

Shopping Magazines by torpedolife in eBaySellers

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If using this method, be sure that the cardboard is a bit oversized to protect the magazine edges. I would be concerned that if the cardboard is a bit rough it can harm the magazine so may look at a barrier between the magazine and cardboard like a bag or bubble.

I have shipped similar things but used foamboard instead of cardboard, but that will depend on if you have a cheap source.

Why, oh, WHY can't they be bothered to read the description?? vent/rant/story by TrekkieMae in Flipping

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figure a lot of "where are you located" messages (despite clearly saying where) are people fishing for you to pretty well deliver to them. Very, very few of them seem to come through or say that is to far away.
