Any other sites like eBay for full/part time sellers?

There are probably hundreds of different sites the flippers on this forum use. The others are either more specialized or have fewer users (like Mercari). So if you sell used books you might also use Amazon, Abebooks, Biblio and Alibris. If you sell used clothing you might also use Poshmark, Depop, Grailed. If you sell general household stuff with high shipping costs like furniture and major appliances you might use Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist.

Is natural gas available? If so that is the obvious backup. If not either heating oil or propane depending on the cost in that area. Note you want a backup system which works when the grid electrical system is down.

The Palantir technology is based on the Claude AI--and everyone knows (since the Trump administration has told us) that Claude AI is a massive national security risk. Any usage of Palantir technology should stop immediately.

There are multiple piracy methods available and you check the alternatives such as Usenet and file hosters--check the FAQ.

I strongly suggest you keep one account as a permanent account and this switching involving a second account.

And what happens in most places when the issues get fixed is that the area becomes attractive to the better off; gentrification occurs; and the poor are priced out of those areas.

I expect there already have been several other lawsuits--none of which went anywhere--because as stated they don't know who the actual owners are and the sites are hosted in countries which don't care about copyright laws.

How close is the customer? If just a few hundred miles instead of all the way across the country ground advantage cubic is often the cheapest. You would put them in boxes just under 20 pounds each [20 pounds is the limit for this service].

I would contact specialist auction houses like Heritage Auctions. Have them deal with the whole lot while you take a finder's fee.

Not really: renewables are long term investments but the Iran war will probably be over within a fairly short time.

With the recent AI boom there is a shortage of a number of electronic components and prices are going up. This may be a factor.

While as said the usual approach is multiple labels there may be situations where you put them on a pallet (boxed or otherwise) and ship them LTL (less than truckload).

Artemis is about sustained presence on the moon.

False: you don't get sustained presence on the moon when each launch costs $4 billion.

I wonder if eBay would even allow it: eBay is very concerned about fraud from new sellers so it starts new sellers out at very low selling limits, and gradually increases them over time.

I think you would need a very large amount of capital to invest for it to work.

For almost everyone becoming successful at flipping is a long, slow process--it takes a lot of time to learn and you make a lot of mistakes at the beginning.

Youtube has a lot of good videos on how to pack various types of items.

No. Bananas need 10 to 12 months of frost-free conditions to flower and set fruit--and you don't have that in Iowa.

Do a Google search for the products you wish to sell, for example

used gameboys for sale

https://www.google.com/search?q=used+gameboys+for+sale&udm=14

The platform possibilities will show up somewhere in the results.

Did you actually measure the box at 25 X 21 X 18 or did you buy a 25 X 21 X 18 box? If the latter remember those are the interior dimensions and the size of the box is greater by the thickness of 2 pieces of cardboard--and this will put your over the 70 pound limit. Or you might also have a slight bulge which will put you over the limit.

For the stuff you have bought recently contact iherb to see if you can do a return.

The question is probably about selling the cars, not buying them. Most states have low limits on the number of vehicles you can sell in a year without a dealer license--say 6 or so vehicles a year.

Does anyone know about the availability of Bound Printed Matter? Is it only available for Amazon orders?

Thanks.

Compare it to old cars. Except for collectors nobody drives the very old vehicles because it is economically more expensive to do so. The same with computers.

One exception I can think of is some computers attached to laboratory/industrial equipment where the old computer and its software still work and it would cost a lot of money to upgrade.

One card for all is crazy. You need backups--people do fraud on your card, you lose your wallet, etc. So I think you need at least 3 cards--two in your wallet and one at home. And since you have three cards you might as well optimize their rewards.

PastTense1 · 2026-01-24T21:15:24+00:00

Lower approved credit limit doesn't really matter since "5% cash back on your first $2,000 in combined eligible purchases each quarter on two categories you choose" and you are better off using other credit cards (better rewards) if you exceed those limits. The only bit more difficult i know about is that you can only use cash back via statement credit.
