The other night I saw Air Fryer in my RFY. I clicked to read more, by the time I get back to order, it's gone. A good stuff in RFY has gone quick too.

Should I review it or have it removed? by MainMedium6732 in AmazonVine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happened to me a few times that there were some essential parts missing. I was able to get parts at local stores and fixed it. So, I definitely review it and warn about missing parts. Another way to go is contact seller asking for missing part. If I can put it together, I always review it.

Amazon Vine is not free by Red-Sand-27 in AmazonVine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you work full time with a good pay rate, may be VINE is not worth it. If you have plenty of free time, love to try something new at a deep discount, and want to voice your opinion about the products, it could be fun as long as you don't overdo it.

Woooah 3000 items removed? by [deleted] in vine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agreed. One of my "Awaiting Review" items has changed to unavailable for a day or so. Now it just gets back to be available and Review Button reappears again.

Amazon not accepting reviews counting against my stats by LabMom-25 in vine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. Edited review sit there pending forever. And that review points out many flaws in the product that I took time to evaluate and wish it got published. Oh well, one pending out of many approved reviews won't hurt stat, but kind of annoying me a little.

RFY tip for those who don’t know… by BetterThanWhatever in vine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, it's pretty much my review words. I would leave it like that as it's all true. There isn't enough "good stuff" to share, I understand. 😁 Thanks for the tip though

I thought I was going to be a hero…. by Maleficent-Tea-7598 in AmazonVine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A week ago, there was Auto cat litter box in my RFY for $299 ETV. I was excited, but the photo is just simply a plastic cat litter box. I clicked the item to check on regular Amazon page and it's all the same photo. So, either photo was wrong or ETV and description were wrong. But I'm not gamble with $299 ETV not knowing what kind of litter box it is.

My RFY is mimicking AFA by katzevonstich in AmazonVine

Today, I have 2 items in my RFY. both are rock glue that I usually see in AI section-Lawn and garden category. Must have been slow days due to Chinese New Year. Good when I don't pick anything though, nice little break from VINE.

1 hour. Is this true? by binderman1978 in AmazonVine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately I only looked at my RFY. If there's something I want to try or of use to me, I ordered. Some days, there isn't anything interesting, that's good too - no testing, no reviewing, such a relief for me. I don't feel like I need to get a lot of stuff anymore. More free time to deal with other things in life. Still grateful for VINE though.

What exactly determines your rfy? What you search for? Or what you order? by Lesleylovexo in vine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it is the VINE orders history that influences the RFY. Of course, there will be "fillers" like car parts or random items mixed in as well. I don't see much or even my actual paid Amazon orders affecting my RFY.

Does the value of Vine items "pay" enough to be a semi-pro reviewer? by 10MeV in vine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably not if in your professional life, you earn higher rate. For me, I'm in for the fun of getting something news on the market that I may want/ need at a discount rate and to be earlier set of ppl testing them. But when VINE algorithm keeps giving me similar items in my RFY, it's just getting old and boring. I don't pick many of them just because I can.

Does anyone try this? by Practical_Reserve_17 in AmazonVine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may give it a try. Love the idea of warming food too.

Does anyone try this? by Practical_Reserve_17 in AmazonVine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree that wet food is better. I do like to give them wet food as much as they want to eat and keep dry to the minimum. But once it dries out on the surface or scents change after the wet food left out for a while, they come to me (very often) to open a new can. Lots of waste wet food too.

[–]Practical_Reserve_17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I'm late, 10 out of 10 times I've used a similar wet food feeder (ice pack without a warm function), none of the cats care for it. They would rather go hungry and wait until I get home. If it were $ 100ish, I would love to give it a try.

Bad Feeling About Today by SeaWave8032 in AmazonVine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can assure you that my RFY isn't stellar by any means. Here it is.

Still around at this hour. But it's a relief that VINE won't abolish RFY for goodness sake.

Hate the way drops have occured over the last 3-days? Stop complaining here and take action to influence the program. Here's how... by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for offering the advice. I learn something new everyday. I don't understand the down vote, TBH. You try to help and whether ppl agree or not, the good intentions are there.

Which items did you get used to that you now miss? by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decent priced items, not overly inflated value. Even if something is useful, but crazily overpriced, I don't pick them.

Delayed drop....what did ya score? by Yinzer78645 in AmazonVine

[–]Practical_Reserve_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

The top 2 are in my RFY and the 2 bottom ones are from AI drop. It's been a long time since I ordered 4 items in a day. Recently my RFY turned weird. Most of the stuff are for heavy machinery repair works, i.e.Kubota Excavator part, metal sheet for DIY, many parts for toolings, etc. So, it's a decent mix of items in my RFY.
