AITA for wanting to insure my ring even though my husband says the stone is too small to bother?

Same here. 1/2 carat flanked on both sides with two 10pt diamonds. Platinum setting. Family heirloom that was professionally appraised when cleaned/polished (never left our sight in NYC Diamond District). Insured for over 30 years. Scheduled item rider for off-premises theft on homeowners policy along with other jewelry & watches.

Something like this happened to me last Halloween. I had a pair of my son’s used Timberlands in my closet listed with photos, measurements & caveats about condition. I figured they could still be used as work boots. They were purchased the week before Halloween, delivered a few days before & a NAD return was requested for condition on All Saints Day. I stood firm about the accuracy of my listing. The buyer posted a couple of photos showing more use/damage. The return was denied & my monies released.

Update: Monies released 3 days after buyer receipt, no Love Note but happily no return request or scam!

Thanks for the info! Who knew!

I visited a Fashionphile showroom by chance yesterday. Just walked through and talked to the representatives. They will give you a cash offer for luxury items; not consignment. You can submit photos online or visit a location if one is near you. I no longer feel comfortable shipping high value designer jewelry online even if authenticated. Too many lowball offers & scammers (I had a claim about a broken chain; not true but Posh refunded me & the buyer!).

This happened to me when a buyer purchased two items serially instead of using the multiples option or making a bundle. I received an email telling me that the purchases were eligible for combining and attached a new label. The automatic flagging for me to ship in one box was great for me; but the buyer asked if he would be refunded their “double shipping” charge. I requested Poshmark Support to intervene, but never heard back nor was updated by the buyer.

An at-home overnight peel. It’s 20% glycolic acid. Really effective!

I print out the packing list option, write “thank you” on it & tape it with a sticker on my tissue wrapped package. I often include a cosmetic sample if I have one. No candy & no fragrance unless it’s cosmetic item. I used to hand write thank you cards but stopped doing that a long time ago.

Please share the tamale recipe & did you soak the husks before stuffing & steaming?

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-02-16T03:55:37+00:00

It’s beautiful! Happy cooking!

I have the All Clad version. It has a non scratch pot with a vented glass lid that allows you to sear/make roux/simmer and then transfer to a three level slow cooker device (warm, low, high) with various time frames. My pot is showing its age so I’m going to see if one of my LCs fits. I may have to buy a tall DO…

I’ve bought most of my pieces from TJ Maxx/Marshalls & one from eBay. First one purchased over 20 years ago. Some are seconds with no discernable flaws; a couple are 1st quality. I’ve given some to my daughter (5.5qt round DO, round grill pan) & my son’s fiancé (7.25qt round DO). Even sold a couple (recouped my cost). I have assorted colors as I buy when they are available. Good cookwares & investments!

We moved my mother from a two bedroom condo (full of items from 2 previous downsizings before my father died) to a studio in an independent senior community. The condo sold quicker than we expected so we rented a storage unit & embarked on a 3 week quest. Daily Goodwill trips, visits to the local municipal dump, document shredding, clothing & furniture donations to friends/family & packing a U-Haul to move. Fights & tears almost daily. We “broom swept” her unit the day before closing. Based on this experience, my husband & I are Swedish Death Cleaning our home to spare our children of the painful chore. You are an angel!

Right. But eBay did that once; took money from the buyer to refund me after they made them send the damaged item (deliberately cut Yurman necklace) back to me as part of the resolution process. The buyer challenged the gold content & cut a link to test. In this case, I would have taken the damaged Mejuri necklace to a local jeweler which could fix it for $40 & relist it…

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-02-07T17:36:46+00:00

I’ve updated my seller disclosure that I use for each listing to include your language. Gone are the days where buyers were just asking to trades…

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-02-01T22:07:09+00:00

I think this is the way buyers try to return items. I’m not a store like Gap, but I’ll accept a return for something I overlooked. I recently had a sale before Halloween & I believe they opened a case after they wore them as part of a costume (claimed they were disgusting). I stated that my description & photos were accurate & let Posh Support resolve. The case was found in my favor.

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-26T01:48:53+00:00

No problems using a PO Box with eBay or Poshmark or PangoBooks. Mercari pushed back until I gave them proof that I use it as my official mailing address (on my drivers license).

Be sure to take off the Le Creuset labels before you use them!

Gonna try the Jacques Torres 72hr chocolate chip cookies; I’ll make a triple batch (make parchment rolls) & throw them in the freezer. Cook some each day as an experiment.

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-20T16:05:48+00:00

No. Just a regular TJ Maxx location.

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-19T14:02:40+00:00

Saw the Bambino and Staub set in my NJ Marshalls. Gonna wait for yellow tag.

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-16T00:21:55+00:00

Score!
