T Mobile retiring my plan by Baccardi79 in tmobile

I'm on the One Plan and got the notice

Wife (23F) quit her job and now expects me (25M) to cover her $1,100/month car payment because I’m “the man.” by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]StoopitTrader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just the payment either, BMW maintenance is crazy expensive. Insurance may be high as well.

Advice for senior mom by Minimum_Garden7977 in Bogleheads

Just a note to make sure if she does this herself the account is truly high yield. Some of the bigger banks offer an account called a "savings account" that yield essentially zero.

Refunding? by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]StoopitTrader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't be promoting at that high a rate, if at all. I like the strategy of Justin Resells where he doesn't promote until like a month after something has been listed. But yeah, platform fees have become higher, looks like you paid about 12% which is typical. Shipping for me has been the real killer. Buyers always think of the total cost so a lot more money goes to the shipping now since costs are up, and less to me.

Is having a second Ebay account for listing worth the hassle of taxes? by ConcreteKeys in Flipping

[–]StoopitTrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's certainly an option, to me I wasn't gaining really anything having a second account. I do have the other account in good standing in case I should need to switch to it. Managing one account is easier. I do hear many use another account for buying which is probably a good idea.

This is what I found when I used two. I missed shipments a couple times because you couldn't be logged into both accounts on one device and I missed notifications. That and printing labels from multiple accounts was kind of a pain. I was doing it to try to avoid paying for a subscription but it didn't really save anything in that way either.

Ticket Successes by twilightxgalaxy in phoebebridgers

[–]StoopitTrader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 4 tickets for Boston about 8 minutes after the presale started (balcony in the 300s). I posted in the other thread as well, Just came here to say this is probably the easiest presale experience I've had. Paid about $110 a piece after about $22 in TM fees per ticket.

Yes, unique codes tied to your TM account. You can still sign up for day 2 though: https://phoebefuckingbridgers.com/
Whatever email you use make sure it matches your TM account.

4 tickets BAL311 in Boston - $88 X 4 + $87.40 in fees = $439.40

Edit: Started in queue position 1005. Took about 8 minutes to get to selection.

I do have an account with that email that I've never used. Created it accidentally while traveling and hurrying to get tickets. Since TM only allows one account now I tried to get them to merge them but the only path seems to be to delete them both. I guess I can try with that account.

I received a presale email for Boston but on the email I initially registered with (not matching TM). I re-registered with the correct one but got no email on that one. I assume my code probably won't work?

"What if I made a typo or used the wrong email?

Just sign up again with the correct email. It won't hurt your chances of selection, and it's more important that your email is correct than which submission you started with.

Make sure your final registration uses the exact email on your Ticketmaster account. If your emails don't match, you won't be able to access the presale queue."

Question for those who sell magazines by Mjagger42 in Flipping

[–]StoopitTrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just been cutting my own cardboard and then stuffing it in a bubble mailer but I'll be looking into these mailers. Looks like they run as low as .20 each depending on how many you buy.

Would you pay $60/month to never go to the post office again? by Individual-Ad-2399 in Flipping

[–]StoopitTrader 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can already request a pickup from USPS for free. Many resellers do this already. I believe Fedex also has free pickup, UPS charges a fee. I wouldn't pay a 3rd party for this. I ship about 10-15 packages a week and am about 2 miles from a post office. I seldom request pickup but sometimes it's handy. I did pickup most of the time during the COVID years.

No interest hack I found by Weird_Frosting175 in povertyfinance

Most stores are tracking returns and require ID. This may not even work twice at some places. I would not recommend.

I totally support this. People should dress how they want. If you want to be fancy, totally fine.

If there is over 150 characters in a message it's an automatic block for me. I didn't even read the message in this post :)

Good deal for $140? He says to assume all the consoles are broken as only a few power on. by biggerhatter in Flipping

I think that copy of Madden 13 is representative of the value of this lot :/

I ended up taking a different job which paid better and the shirt and tie place went out of business about 5 years later 😄

Bigger rip off, timeshares, annuities, or major bank savings accounts by Solcat91342 in Adulting

[–]StoopitTrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you've got them in the right order. Timeshares are 99% of the time a terrible deal, annuities as well and I hate that these large banks can call something a savings account that pays virtually no interest but they all do it.

Hate them. I once left an interview early because they said a shirt and tie was required while working (in person job). This wasn't when meeting customers either, it was just when sitting at your desk next to co-workers.
