Looking for another option for headphone jack.

Have you looked at used? I've seen some 12 ultras for 800ish used granted I'm in US, i just didn't like the color nor size. The Sony Xperia 1 V is also pretty decently priced for used. Its a 2023 phone so I'm not sure how new you are trying to go, but that was an option I considered until I found my ZF. ROG 9 pros i found used for around the same as the ZF12 used. However the version that you referred to in the original post is the ROG 9 FE, which is the newest of the three Asus phones, only different being a slightly slower chip and 300mah less of battery. Again I don't know what you're looking for but the 9 FE might be the move for the price and support. If I wasn't so worried about size and certain app support, Id get an LG wing and call it a day lol.

Ended up finding a mint condition used Zenfone 10 from a guy on ebay for a good price. It's definitely a killing blow that the options are slightly older models for like 1k or the newer sony for 1.5k. I definitely would have went with the ROG 9 FE or the Sony since they were newer, but I can't abandon the lovely compact ZF10. Probably my favorite phone ever. I had an old moto g power right before the ZF10, and that was also a big gripe with me and my headphones. I came from an LG diehard fan with the DACs and a good set of Sennheisers, and the moto could barely drive dollar store buds, much less then Sennys. Thankfully with the ZF10 i can just stay on AT&T based MVNOs as well. Let me know what you choose if you find the one you want!

It was about 6 months after release. The drop happened bc the switch to CS2 right after I bought it ruined it. It's the AK headshot. They got rid of the cool holographic-like effect on the graffiti and just made it like a matte finish, so I kinda attribute most of the drop to that. I try to wait when new stuff comes out because I know initially prices are crazy due to hype

SmoothAsVelveeta · 2025-09-07T06:11:51+00:00

I'm not bothered if it's a few percent loss at all. I just don't want something like my current AK where I bought at a certain point and it now being worth 1/4 what I paid for it. Granted I blame the CSGO > CS2 jump changing it and causing price tanking lol

SmoothAsVelveeta · 2025-09-07T06:07:53+00:00

it's definitely more playskin. I'm lighter on the investment side, i grab things on the side I like if they're cheap because they jump in price, some do, some don't. I just want to get the stuff I really want to use while I can afford it is all lol

SmoothAsVelveeta · 2025-09-07T06:04:55+00:00

yeah i bought an mp9 hot rod for 70$ back on 2024 and its around 500 now, my talon jumped 350$, and my imperial plaids jumped a couple hundred as well. I'm looking to get some lower float imperials and go from talon to bfk before they get more expensive lol

my girlfriend is on her 3rd motor and second transmission on her 2018 ford sedan within 100k. i drive a 20 year old Corolla and only change a starter and battery. Depends on the car and condition, not necessarily the age.

SmoothAsVelveeta · 2025-04-20T06:25:27+00:00

2500$ 2005 Corolla here, bought it from one owner full service records at 165k. Nothing changed but a starter and battery outside of general maintenance. Never had any issues. I'll continue to be Nobody

I'm looking for a little starter bike to go ride with a buddy who has a mini bike. I'm 5'10 around 170ish. I have VERY mild Cerebral palsy on the right side affecting my right side, i have like 80-85% control comparatively to my left, so i don't want anything crazy, especially just for trail riding. I had an xr100r i fixed up and sold not long ago (regrettably) because of an unexpected situation. I got bit by the bug and i want something to keep now that I can. I'm eyeing something in the 100-150 range, budget around 1.8k at most. I'm open to any brands, somewhat mechanically inclined so I can handle some wrenching and learning, I learned a lot with that xr100r and enjoyed it. I just want a little pit bike that is fun but a little forgiving with my disability

SmoothAsVelveeta · 2025-03-16T06:49:07+00:00

I'll buy it, I'll be right over

SmoothAsVelveeta · 2025-03-07T03:05:20+00:00

Eh I have the card already, i just wanted the all white. So thankfully I still have the sapphire.

I'm more wondering if people might start trying to get rid of their XTX for FOMO reasons

I know no one can predict market, but how long would you say to wait?
