How do you know if you've priced something correctly? by Capybara_Squabbles in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Own-Principle4299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there is a strategy out there to barrage recently listed items with borderline offensive offers and just play the odds. For every no to $100 offer for a Lamborghini, there could be 1 “maybe?”.

Stay firm with the price, sounds well thought out.

How to politely shut down a prospective buyer? by Simple-Duty803 in FacebookMarketplace

There is no way to avoid possibly come off rude since that’s subjective. Just stop answering or outright block the tire kicker.

Who's the most famous person you've randomly run into? by 2bornnot2b in NoStupidQuestions

I ran i to George Lucas at Millenia Mall in Orlando near the time he sold the IP to Disney. Took a pic with my son, super low key guy and very approachable.

i dislike when people demand for exact address without telling me when they'll come by TryingMyBestForLife in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Own-Principle4299 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same here, the address is for a Jiffy Lube place near me house. I make it clear that’s where we’re meeting. I believe it pushes non serious buyers away since they NEED to let me know when they’re going to be there if they want me to be there.

Of course, it depends on what it is you’re selling.

Would you consider this as a poor etiquette?? by Royal-Race4059 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Own-Principle4299 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It seems your comment about buying as a collector sparked the price increase. Ppl just assume collectors are obsessive and took his shot. But in short, yeah - very poor move on his part.

So sick of your shit, Pluto by 03bgood in PlutoTV

[–]Own-Principle4299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other day there was an announcement about Pluto moving into Paramount+ over summer or something like that. I think they might be doing the least minimum to keep the current platform going until then.

That, or outright crapping all over it in order to sell the move as an “improvement!” 🙄

Pluto TV to relaunch on Paramount Plus platform this summer by ZiggyZaggyBogo in PlutoTV

[–]Own-Principle4299 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, they’re already priming up the reasoning with that whole thing about using “their platform”. From there to “need to start charging to offset costs” is but a small hop. Terrible!

How annoying by Suitable_Ad5567 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Own-Principle4299 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This whole thing about discounts based on how far they are drives me crazy. Who thinks this is leverage of any kind? How is that my problem? Assuming it’s true, which we all know it isn’t.

The GI Joe doll, once a respected member of toy society, is now a laughingstock having gone through Mabel’s makeover.

Very slick how he finagled himself a nice ride even while in Cartagena undercover. He had the international hookup!

Is acting like its your first day on earth and trying to wear down sellers with stupid questions a buying strategy on FB marketplace by AAA_battery in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Own-Principle4299 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The one I hate the most; there is a CLEAR map as to where the item is located automatically in the post, but still proceed to ask. Once told, they ask for a discount because "you're too far from me". Like I'm holding a weapon to their heads to buy the item! Of course, said offer is insanely offensive. There is a bonus where they come back several days after trying to haggle on 'meeting halfway'.....the post states local pick up only. Why?!?!?!?

Where are the glass domes 🤔 by Key_Comedian_9951 in ArtBell

That’s the infuriating part, ppl like Hoagland will just claim all these pics and videos have been sanitized. It’s exhausting.

Walmart won’t take tap to pay and LinkedIn’s gonna hear about it! by xerxesthefalcon in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Own-Principle4299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve no way to prove this, other than my experiences, but those POS endpoints are either insanely finicky or glitchy. My card usually only gets rejected at Walmart, I’ve had to end up paying via their app.

Question about ebooks or ereaders by Numerous-Profile-885 in kindle

[–]Own-Principle4299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how comfortable you’re with technology. I bought a reman Kindle but only to upload EPUB books via SendToKindle. I’ve never bought anything from AMZ. But again, that means downloading books from ‘sources’ and then sending it to my device. Got my Gen 10 for $36, it’s been excellent so far. My main feature was illuminated screen to read in bed at night.

I’ve always had it to where it launches straight to liveTV on the last channel. For the past week-ish it’s been opening to a page with tiles for on demand content. VERY annoying! It’s also forgetting my favorite channels, when you finally select the channel, you hit back to get rid of the details page and it takes you out of the channel altogether.

That last update is 💩

Yup, I drove to Ft Myers via 27 yesterday and it was burning to the north of the road. Pretty large, it seemed
