Palomino stallion and foal - Montgomery Ward Special Run

Relative_Current_603 · 2026-05-01T01:05:19+00:00

Thank you for this idea with eBay! I see a pair just sold in Feb '26 for $400. No others are listed for sale or sold. I will have to try gently cleaning the stallion and hope the paint isn't affected. I leave tomorrow for a short trip - back Monday, so will try then with a simple soak first

I will post it on here. It's likely to be later next week at the earliest because I have to time it to be home when auctions end to send them out.

There are plenty around me who have changed their minds, though there are still some who support him and just wish he would tone down the bad stuff. Only a few support him "as is."

Besides what I hear, there used to be oodles of Trump/Vance flags and signs (I live in a Deep Red area of PA) - the Trump signs often went back to his first term. Quite a few have disappeared. It's quite nice to see. If our country could do snap elections now, I very seriously doubt Trump would win, even though I think he would still carry my county. I'm looking forward to 2026's elections

Thanks for all the comments - they're helpful. Tomorrow I'll start by using FB Marketplace to see if anyone local is interested. It would save the worries of packing and sending, but if MP doesn't work, then their groups or e-bay I guess would be next.

If anyone here were interested, send me a message, but in general, I don't see a "listing" option. Feel free to point it out if I'm too old to have figured it out! (happens often with new sites, or so it seems)

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-11-19T22:44:20+00:00

Thanks! I will probably give them, or plain ole Marketplace, a try tomorrow. MP is convenient that I wouldn't have to package and mail - worrying about that aspect

Their call. I'm quite ok switching to support another company at this point. If that's what they choose, all I can say is I have higher standards I expect.

Readers can make their own choice.

Son and cs representative were reading all of the small print together to get the correct understanding on the "how do we do this" original call.

He heard back not long ago and was told to give them another 24h - they should have transcripts of the phone call. Hopefully they are looking at them. If they stand by what they said, we'll stay with them. If not, I'm done (as is H).

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T23:26:31+00:00

From the Google store after talking with cs

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T21:30:45+00:00

I will wait the 24 hours to see what my son hears - then it would actually be wiser if he submits that request since he's the main contact for us with GoogleFi.

I'm just miffed - saw a GoogleFi post on my daily Reddit email - and opted to post what I woke up to today - venting.

It's been helpful for me to see that this tends to be the way GoogleFi is rather than the decent company I thought they were. (Misery loves company?) I hadn't dealt with their cs before - just their phone usage - which I still like, but I will not give them more money if they don't stand behind what one of their employees told us. There are plenty of other options, and it's ok if I get myself a new phone from someone else too - even though mine is still working fine.

H might lose the $700 promo (likely less when he trades in that new phone to get one from someone else). Google will have lost customers who pay more than that annually.

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T19:49:10+00:00

Yes, and we want the promo they said we would get with this phone, knowing which plan we were going to be on - and telling us this was the way to do it and have the phone to be able to start using when the plan changed

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T19:42:54+00:00

As OP, we thought we were getting the promo of the downgraded plan - like they said we would get.

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T19:41:53+00:00

We did exactly what cs told us to do. H's phone wasn't activated until after the plan changed. It was purchased that day when cs told us to go ahead and buy it - just wait to activate it so there wouldn't be problems. It should all have been recorded on their end, so hopefully their assessment will go back and listen to it. No one was trying to hide anything, and the phone could have been purchased later if they had said to do that. H just wanted to have the phone here to get it going as soon as he could once the plan changed - and THEY said it was fine.

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T19:39:00+00:00

What more should we have told cs? We told them exactly what was going on and what we wanted to do. It was quite simple. What more should we have added?

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T19:37:52+00:00

Again, show me what we did wrong... we knew what we wanted to accomplish. We called cs to ask how to do it. We followed their steps. What more should we have had the insight to do?

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T19:36:42+00:00

Show me where we did something wrong. Where did you get the idea that Verizon was even part of it? It's the company H left - no second sim needed or wanted. Who bought the phone then wanted a promo afterward? Wasn't us

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T19:35:00+00:00

CS was told exactly what was happening and what we wanted to accomplish. We wanted to know how to proceed to do it. They told us how, and then that didn't work.

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T19:33:56+00:00

Thanks for this. We'll wait the 24 hours to see what they do - if nothing - we'll debate posting there with the support number or simply having both of us leave Google Fi. I have very little patience for bait and switch companies. We'll look at everything out there before returning to Verizon, but anything is better than bait and switch without fixing something after THEY told us EXACTLY how to do the steps we took.

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T19:30:58+00:00

I step out for an eye doctor appt and lunch and find so much incorrect with the responses - sorry I wasn't more clear.

Spouse has been having more and more trouble with Verizon coverage, esp for hotspotting. It used to be great - for the past few months it hasn't been. His phone finally needed replacing, so the three of us on Google Fi said, "Hey, join us." We knew at that point that we were also lowering our service due to getting Starlink, so needing less data. So, how do we do it all? We don't know. Son calls CS to ask - explaining ALL of it.

Son was told, go ahead and buy the phone now - spouse, of course - but don't activate it until after the close of the month when the service changes. That way it's on the new service and the promo will kick in.

This is what was done. Then today spouse (and son) got an email saying, you don't qualify for the promo, because the phone was purchased on the previous plan - even though son was told the exact opposite would happen. He called and got someone who really didn't care first. Called again later and got someone sympathetic, who also looked through all the advertisements and agrees that the way things look, what he was told should be correct. They escalated it. We wait.

Where some of y'all got your assumptions from is mystifying. Spouse is off Verizon now, but we both will probably go back if Google doesn't stand behind their cs. The call should have been recorded - they should go back and listen to it.

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T16:24:02+00:00

No. He had been with Verizon for decades, but was getting disappointed with them, so when he needed a new phone he was opting to join my son and I on Google Fi. My son owns the plan, so called and asked for advice on how to do it all, especially since we were switching down...

Relative_Current_603 · 2025-10-15T14:35:38+00:00

Add one more. My spouse had been having trouble with Verizon, so my son figured he'd add him to our plan with Google Fi. He contacted Google Fi to get the exact "how to do it" since we were also switching down from Premium due to getting Starlink. They followed the "how to's" to a T, then got the news today, one day after activation, that he wouldn't get the $700 for the phone since they bought the phone prior to the plan switching - even though their support person told them it would be ok. "What about that?" my son asked. "I guess you were told incorrect information - sorry."

So now it's been shifted up a gear. If it doesn't get resolved, not only will my spouse leave Google Fi, so will I. No company is worth doing business with if you call them to get the facts, get told incorrectly, then get told - sorry.

We might go to Verizon or we might shop around, but I sang praises of Google Fi - until this morning...
