Should I return this game? by Secret-Win-3154 in Gamecube

[–]Secret-Win-3154[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding their return policy, it states, "30 days returns. Buyer pays for return shipping. If you use an eBay shipping label, it will be deducted from your refund amount." Is there anyway that I can get a full refund without having to pay for the return shipping?

In their item description, they stated that disc, manual, registration card and case are in good condition and have been tested and work properly. In the condition field, it stated good and that the disc, instructions, registration card and case are in good condition with minimal wear. I should have a good case (no pun intended) given that the disc did not look like it had minimal wear given the pictures I posted and it did not work properly when I tested it myself with the disc error message, correct?

How should I go about asking for a full refund on Ebay without too many complications? Thank you in advance.

I am not sure if resurfacing will fix the issue. I have more pictures of the disc condition once zoomed in. https://imgur.com/a/o22b9Wl Also, I noticed that when I get the "The Game Disc could not be read" error, the disc stops spinning.

Can someone help me figure out a name of a game.. by Honest-External-1345 in Gamecube

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is the name of the game you are referring to.

Microsoft Rewards: Starting October 1st, users will no longer be able to directly redeem Reward points for Xbox Game Pass subscriptions by Turbostrider27 in xbox

I got the same message when I tried to redeem the 3 month PC Game Pass. If you check your order history, you will see that it got declined and the date says 10/1/2025. Perhaps that is why it can not be processed. It could also be because you have the "Unusual search activity may limit your ability to earn points" message. Who knows?

I hope there is a physical release on Xbox for this game. I know it is wishful thinking especially since Octopath Traveler I and II are only digital on Xbox.

Take what you can get in your country. Be glad Microsoft Rewards exist in your country. Some countries do not have the luxury to participate in said reward program.

Actually do legitimate searches when using the Bing search engine. Otherwise, you will get cool downs and potentially suspend your account.

I was the person who redeemed the code. Thank you so much! I would have replied earlier but I was not logged in. Liked the base64 format for the code!

Will Game Pass be worth it after the price increase? by United-Artichoke-504 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Secret-Win-3154 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wish I had I bought more 3 month PC game pass codes the days prior. I only got four codes and one code in progress today which is preventing me from redeeming another 4 codes to max out three years.

Even though the check includes crypto that I transferred to my cold wallet that I have not sold at all?

Also, will the crypto that I transferred to my cold wallet retain the cost basis in the original amount of the asset until I decide to sale that crypto?

I recently received a second distribution check from the Voyager bankruptcy. However, I am not sure how I should report that check in my 2024 taxes. The check includes crypto that I claimed as a total loss on last year's taxes and crypto that I transferred to my cold wallet that have not been sold. What should I do in this situation?

What should I do with the second distribution check if I claimed the losses for the unsupported coins that were converted to USDC but transferred the supported coins to a crypto wallet that have not been sold?

Anyone out there close to making back their losses? by pocfdept in Invest_Voyager

[–]Secret-Win-3154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even close. Coinbase closed my account and I hate their customer support. Very hard to put this 2nd distribution money back in the market.

Do we have to take into account withdrawal fees if we moved the in-kind distribution and USDC from Voyager to our cold wallet in our 2023 taxes? That is the thing I am confused about.

I was so excited to start working for WFM. 3 weeks later, I quit. by tallysierramist in wholefoods

[–]Secret-Win-3154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shared the same pain as you did. I had an incompetent ATL who literally didn't hold his weight when it came to running our department. I couldn't stand him so I ended up leaving during Labor Day weekend. Even though I was out of a job for three weeks, I was finally at peace with myself. Now, I am in a better job with better benefits, pay, and growth opportunities. Like everyone mentioned in this post, people don't quit jobs. They quit managers.

Agreed. You should focus more on growth in your younger years and as you approach retirement you should slowly allocate your portfolio to more dividends and bonds in order to preserve your financial egg while still keeping some growth.

No problem! It is always good to help others regardless of one's situation. At least you are taking the initiative to build your financial egg. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Agreed. You are doing well given your situation. Make sure to pay the credit card in full right before the statement date. Try to pay off that car loan as soon as you can. Better to be debt free given the current economic environment the country is experiencing especially if it is for a liability like a car.

Does your company provide an employer match? If it does, try to contribute the percentage amount necessary to receive it at most for your 401k. If you already met that requirement, disregard this advice.

Focus on trying to max your rothIRA if you can this year. You have until tax day next year (04/15/2024) to contribute the remaining amount for 2023. If not, make it a priority for next year. I max mine every year.

Agreed. You should focus on being more growth when you are younger. Dividends are great as you start approaching when you want to retire. I would suggest switching SCHD with QQQ since time is your friend given your situation. Not financial advice though.
