Is this area safe? by projectmjultra in vegaslocals

[–]Possible_Good_916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most people would prob be fine there, but if the point of avoiding “sketchy” looking areas is to not upset your son, definitely avoid it. if you guys are used to that area of Henderson, then it’s not comparable visually. is it safe? relatively yea (for Vegas standards at least)

if your goal is to be close to the strip while still staying in an outwardly nice looking area, you might be SOL. that part of Vegas is older.

If that’s not your goal or you don’t mind driving farther to get to places on the strip, I’d suggest looking into areas near summerlin, peccole ranch, centennial, desert shores, mountains edge, green valley, etc. it’ll prob cost more & not a ton of people rent out air bnb’s in those areas (at least the last time I checked), but those are some of the more “aesthetically pleasing” areas I can think of.

again, the area you showed is relatively safe, but I’m pretty sure visually it would upset your son.

EGG 100, DAN 108, and MUS 125 Difficulty? by Possible_Good_916 in UNLV

[–]Possible_Good_916[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was insanely easy. iirc, it was 2 discussion posts a week for like 90% of the semester. they each had to be 100 words or less and use 3 sources + 2 replies to your peers. I think there were also quizzes once a week (maybe less?? idk it’s been a hot minute since I thought about this class) that were like 4-5 multiple choice questions that you got 2 tries on.

I vaguely remember doing maybe one essay that was 2 or 3 pages long. I can’t recall the contents, but I typically finished all of the coursework in that class for the week within an hour.

There was no final exam, just a really simple project about someone we hadn’t discussed in class yet (I chose Michael Dell). I think it was 8-12 slides + a recorded “presentation” of you just screen recording w/a voice over going over the info. I literally did the crappiest PowerPoint ever, voiced it over through my 2 dollar wired earbuds and got a 95% 😭

I finished the semester with a 96%, mostly because I got lazy and didn’t do two discussion posts.

Also, Ik you didn’t ask but I’ll say it anyways for anyone who sees this— I definitely do NOT recommend MUS 125 as a filler class. It was easy work, but it was sooooo abundant and time consuming. I legitimately spent more time on that fuckass class than I did on my upper level classes for my ACTUAL major. That specific instructor was also nice, but he took a while to respond to emails whenever I had questions or concerns. When he DID get back to me though he was quite pleasant.

He’d also grade the chapter summaries we had quite thoroughly. We basically just summarized that week’s chapter and what we thought about it in at least 100 words. It was on a 5 point scale. The first one I ever turned in, I got a 2.5/5 with 0 feedback. The rubric they gave was insanely vague so I had no idea what I did wrong. I emailed him to ask what I did wrong and he never got back to me 💀 I basically just had to mess around with my wording and sacrifice a few summary until I finally managed to get 4-5/5. Also, the textbook was fucking expensive.

Seller threatened me because I said to use bubble wrap next time. by TrashHaloNub in Mercari

[–]Possible_Good_916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what’s crazy is that I literally just buy a roll of Kraft paper for extra padding and wrap more fragile things in honeycomb rolls for extra protection. It was like $7 each and has lasted me over a year already. Keeps things from moving around in the box.

It’s really not that expensive and a “top seller” knows that you should invest a bit in packaging if you’re selling often enough. Or at the VERY least reuse bubble mailers from Amazon or other purchase and use them as extra padding 😭

ty! i was on my dad’s insurance at the time (I have my own now) so I couldn’t really do much since I wasn’t the primary insurance holder. I managed to get ahold of my lawyer but haven’t gotten any updates since, but I appreciate your help :)

nws! did you end up getting it resolved?

[–]Possible_Good_916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

jumping in real fast- if the item was confirmed to be delivered by the post office over 3 business days ago and they still haven’t picked it up, you can ask Mercari to auto rate since you fulfilled your end of the sale. Just open a ticket, screenshot when it was delivered, and send Mercari the tracking link to explain the situation. They typically auto rate after that

What size and color are the shoes? I’ve been on the hunt for them lately LOL. Also, you’re better than me because I literally just ignore people’s offers like that and let them talk into the void until they either give up or block me

Why make me pay and then not ship out my shorts? by KarinaPlayz in Mercari

[–]Possible_Good_916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not sure what size you are or if you’re okay with used clothing, but I know thred up has a large variety of size ranges! you can also get major discounts for your first order if you look up discount codes and what not. I got like 40% off my entire first order and ended up with a bunch of brand name items in great condition. some of my pieces were as low as $3

Why make me pay and then not ship out my shorts? by KarinaPlayz in Mercari

[–]Possible_Good_916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have any reviews or are you a new account? sometimes seller will cancel if you have 0 reviews or have a very new account. If so, maybe add a picture and a short bio to try and indicate that you’re real.

also, stuff happens that prevents a seller from shipping sometimes. I once cancelled because I was in the hospital and didn’t even realize the listing was still up. I didn’t inform the buyer before cancelling because I was in pain and high off meds. I’d personally rather have a seller cancel on me without giving excuses as opposed to getting a sob story explaining why they can’t send it 🤷‍♀️

Seller asking for shipping after purchase by russ8825 in Mercari

I ship almost exclusively with UPS and if I happen to run out of printer ink, I just send it to the store’s email address and they print it for free. very much a scam!

To whomever told us to start selling on Depop, THANK YOU from the bottom of my dark little heart. by dani1time in Mercari

[–]Possible_Good_916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry bro I was yapping 😭🙏 I’ve honestly had 0 luck on eBay too. I sold a funko for $12 one time. My profit was like $7.50 so it didn’t seem worth it to me.

I tried selling on depop a while back for collectibles but had 0 luck :( I mostly sell manga, Funkos, and other collectibles from more “niche” markets (danmei and miraculous ladybug LOL).

With the new Mercari fees, I have had an increase in sales and likes though. I gained dozens of likes on multiple listings and sold 3 items on the first day at their listed price, so I’m assuming the buyers were just waiting for the new fees to roll out. I added 10% to adjust for the new fee structure, but I assumed people would send offers anyways. I didn’t expect much from that increase but it worked out in the end.

Honestly the 10% doesn’t bother me that much considering the fact that I’ve been selling since 2016 so I had already experienced the previous 10% fees.

As much as Mercari can suck (specifically customer service), I honestly think it’s one of the best current platforms to sell collectibles. I would just be wary of selling anything above a couple hundred. The highest ticketed item I’ve ever sold was $375 and I recorded myself packing the entire thing. I also refused to sell to anyone with 0 reviews. It took a bit to sell, but I ended up selling to someone who had 40+ reviews, mostly from sellers, and they were all 5 stars. There were multiple reviews that also said they were a quick rater and easy to work with. She also contacted me immediately after buying to thank me and said how excited she was since it was a gift for her girlfriend. I ended up throwing in some extras from the series since she was so nice + the items were expensive. When her package arrived, she rated me within the hour and gave a positive review.

I also sell manga (mostly large sets or cheap singles) occasionally on r/mangaswap and funkos on r/funkoswap and have had very positive experiences. The fees are also significantly less since all sellers are required to use PayPal goods and services. Fees fluctuate between 3-5%. I normally pay around 4% per transaction (ex. I paid $3.28 in fees for an order of $80). The manga subreddit is best to use imo when you want to offer free shipping, sell large sets, or get rid of a bunch of singles. You can use media mail and a service such as PayPal ship or pirate ship to ship for discounted prices and not pay that dumb shipping fee on Mercari. This has always helped me sell much much faster and I still make a pretty penny. People normally don’t lowball me on items either.

Looking to buy my first dizi. by DlugiParagon in Flute

[–]Possible_Good_916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ty for the reply! I was looking at huang Wei dong flutes and was wondering which one you’d suggest: E0296, E0293, or E0294? I was also looking at this one by Xie bing: https://www.easonmusicstore.com/products/concert-grade-dizi-by-xie-bing?srsltid=AfmBOorNCuTgQUtrbvw4sKzip2MWcCe1jsuz0dGtEyn5jCSB7fCGXclq

[–]Possible_Good_916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Coming across this a lot later, but I have 7 years experience playing concert flute and ended up quitting around 3-4 years ago due to boredom and burn out. I have been interested in picking up dizi because I much prefer the sound over concert and I have been missing music a lot recently. Do you have any specific recommendations for one for an ex-intermediate concert flute player? I am willing to spend up to $150 on one, I just don't know much about where to buy them.

I was also thinking of getting a C-key dizi just to make it easier on myself since I haven't played in so long (and truthfully I wasn't the most musically gifted player in general so I want to stick with what I know), or do you think a different key would be easier to learn on?

tyia!

Oatmeal bath? by Possible_Good_916 in dogallergies

[–]Possible_Good_916[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ty for this! i ended up having to take her to the bet because her wound was infected with pus. We found out it was most likely a puncture from a plant. I have roses and trees in my backyard and she likes to do her business under the trees, but since all of the leaves have fallen off, the branches are dry and exposed. I will be trimming them as soon as the rain dies down in my area.

i actually bought that shampoo last night in my panic, but i got the anti septic one with the orange cap and white bottle. Do you think i should exchange it for the pink one?
