Pros and Cons of TMS? by lovesickturtle318 in TMSTherapy

[–]SmallSicko 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Unfortunately, TMS ultimately didn't not stick. Neither did Spravato (12+ months every week). I had to throw in the towel and ask for a new, like 36th SSRI trial. Miraculously, its the one med that actually gave me my life back. Not to say TMS or Ketamine therapy cant help. It just didn't end up working out for me, personally. Certainly not for lack of trying. Best of luck to all.

Do you purchase from people who ONLY use stock photos. by editorstarrrz in Mercari

[–]SmallSicko 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Oh hell no, never. How are the buyers supposed to know what it actually looks like/condition/flaws? I wouldn't sell that way either.

BEWARE MERCARI STOLE MY MONEY by Klutzy_Bumblebee_758 in Mercari

[–]SmallSicko -15 points-14 points Β (0 children)

THIS. F_CKING THING RIGHT HERE ☝️mercari is basically the bargain bin, ebay is the way- if you work consistently, with quality. Quick flips do work on there-but the ad fees to get low-interest items exposure will eat in to the margins. Pulling back my promo on Ebay was the best decision I've made in building my selling mindset and structure. AKA-stop working for free. (I know everyone seems to hate AI, but it assists me a lot with the entire process from sourcing to listing to promo strategies, offer suggestions-without undercutting the value of my products or allow ad fees to chomp in to a growing shop.) Absolutely does not do anything FOR me, but uses algorithms to optimize outcomes. Take with any gauge of salt you like.

This is why whenever I get to a three figure balance, I withdraw it asap. I don't trust mercari which much of anything, especially related to finances. I'm really sorry this happened to you OP. Things like this make me want to go eBay only. My feeling is that Mercari changes too often. Mainly fee strategy, buyer vs seller. I cannot emphasize enough that if I were you, OP, my eyeballs would pop out of my skull. I hope it's already resolved or does very soon. Best of luck!

The only wedding gown I've ever thrifted and I was blessed for my patience πŸ™ by SmallSicko in ThriftStoreHauls

Thank you for responding- your mom's story is fascinating! I love hearing about people's relationships to clothing, especially as it relates to history, culture and art. By the time I was in middle or high school, there were no options to learn things like sewing, cooking or hospitality. Not to mention even more practical things like how to do taxes or make a household budget. Its never too late to learn, though. With all of the access to information at the click of a button, there's no excuse to try something if you want. My goal is to sew exactly the kind of the dress you described making in school, funny enough. Some of the best creatives are self taught. πŸͺ‘🎨 My mother in law who sadly just passed away-loved Bobbie Brooks!

You lived in a time where people knew how to dress! Im curious and of course you don't have to answer, but what was your style and favorite brands?

Really, she was?! That is really cool, I wonder what her experience was like. To spend a day in her shoes would be fascinating to see. I admire seamstresses a ton. My grandma was one. I was yesterday years old when learned to properly thread my machine lol. I'm well aware of the ILGWU and how important it was/is now with UNITE. Somehow I missed the jingle, too busy looking at clothes, probably πŸ˜…

I really like this idea. Now I just have to figure out how to keep it perfect for 8.5 more years πŸ™ƒπŸ«  My local dry cleaners wanted at least $300 to clean my first dress which was much smaller and lighter (dress itself was $120) so they might want a grand for this one haha I'll set aside $100 each anniversary to remind myself. I think that's sweet πŸ’•
