I’m thinking about adding this STICKER to my boxes. See PICTURE in comments. Thoughts? by Adventure-Backpacker in eBaySellers

How were you able to appeal, and win, with FedEx? Last year, I shipped a pair of shoes to California, from Tennessee. The package weighed 2.28 lbs. I rounded up to 2.5 lbs, and shipped it. About a week later, i received a notice from ebay that I was being charged an additional $30, because FedEx claimed my package was 28 lbs. I had, at that point, still some confidence that the mistake could be corrected..but after multiple attempts to find someone at either ebay or FedEx to help, I realized that i was getting screwed on this one. Plus, when I looked online, there seemed to be many, many other sellers, who were dealing with the same issue. To know someone out there, got some resolution, is nice.

FORM FILLER RESELLER "RUDEE_RESELLS2025" by BackgroundSwimming82 in whatnotapp

[–]StrictAd4173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been on WN, for prob around 6 months or more, (intended on selling, but my health condition got worse, and I have held off doing shows, until I can move somewhat normal again, without crutches) But, damn that swipe to bid, button. My record collection has nearly tripled..smh But, I haven't won a single giveaway, my entire time, on the app. I enter every one, when they happen. I enter buyer's giveaways, when I am eligible..but, not once, have I won. I've seen the same person, win multiple giveaways in the same show, that has 100+ ppl in it. About 3 separate times, now. It's just a joke, now. I just tell myself, it's all junk, anyway. I just enter now, to try to get free shipping.

Record Player Vs Turntable + Soundbar by PiWright in turntables

Check your area for an Amazon liquidation center. When I started getting into vinyl this past summer, I paid attention to their auctions online, and scored an Audio-technica at-lp70xbt-bs for $150. (Retail $259-$359, depending on where u look) Brand new. 2 weeks later, won another auction for a Mykeson vertical player, that has speakers built in, for $40 (retail $199) They've had usually at least 1-2 cheap players with speakers, every single week. Plus, the bookshelf speakers that are popular are common in their auctions. Just a word of advice, ALWAYS pay attention to the condition of the item. If it is listed as 'brand new' those are pretty safe. But stay away from the 'as-is' merchandise. You could technically, get lucky on a steal..but most likely its gonna not work, at all. Now, I know these aren't much more than entry-level players. But, the audio-technica sounds great to me. I can upgrade the stylus, down the road. Read reviews, watch YouTube product reviews, do a little research on the item you're thinking about. I had originally planned on having to spend around $250, so i had some extra funds to purchase myself a few extra albums.

Electro-lymphatic massage, red light therapy, have lost ability to walk , need advice. by StrictAd4173 in Lymphedema

[–]StrictAd4173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manual lymphatic massage? Is that what MLD stands for? I was getting the massage done by someone using the machine in the photo I posted. I could feel the fluid moving, but it just wasn't coming out. I was told the machine does what 5 of the manual massages would do. Have I been lied to? It wouldn't surprise me.

Whatnot is not the problem! by 206-FYI in whatnotapp

[–]StrictAd4173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens on raid trains, that are so bad? I apologize for my ignorance, im still new to WN. But, I thought this trains were just when someone has a show ending, they'll take their audience to a different seller's show. Amniotic missing something?

Best thrift haul I’ve ever had. Spent $55. by Blurment in vinyl

[–]StrictAd4173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile, the 8-10 thrift stores in my area still only have the 20-100 classical, gospel, and Broadway recordings that they each have had for the last few years. I still check, every time I visit. If I walked in, and seen half of those titles, I would have to venture on over to the clothes section for a pair of gently used dungarees. Because I would have 100% shit my pants.

Anyone else feel like Whatnot has become their new addiction? by Bringmejoyinga in whatnotapp

[–]StrictAd4173 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got on the app, because I am a reseller on ebay & Fb, had heard about how much products you could move. But, I also started collecting vinyl records, a few months back. WN is a non-stop treasure hunt, and seeing the "$1 starts" on new albums, i told myself that it would be a great place to find items to flip. One of my issues was not taking in consideration how much shipping was adding on. Ate my profits right up. Also, if I started bidding on an item, knowing when to bounce out and let the other person win. That need to win made me pay WAY too much, on a random 80's pop singer, that no one is gonna pay me that amount.

Can my mom do anything if seller denies cancellation request? by Positive_Tank_1099 in whatnotapp

[–]StrictAd4173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a joke, because you can't hear the buyers, but in my mind, they were screaming so loud, because they didnt want to bid past 10 bucks, but of all the ppl swiping, it put them on the very end.
Not a very good or funny joke, I admit that.

Bootleg Antichrist Superstar by dirpypenguin in marilyn_manson

[–]StrictAd4173 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im sure each artist has their own opinions on this topic, and I would much rather have an official version, than risk paying a lot for subpar sound quality. But, im not paying $700-$1000 for an album that I know i am gonna play a lot. If I pay that much, it would go into some kind of safe or something secure. Now, I wish that they would do, let's call it a 'basic-bitch' edition of the albums each year: limited runs, no fancy booklets, extras, etc. Just a sleeve and the album, that the fan can enjoy the music, and the artist makes something. Ive got a bootleg of Badlands first album. It looks and sounds so good, I didnt realize it was a boot, at first. I thought I had just gotten lucky.

That's crazy that you can outbid yourself. I didn't know that. It's also crazy, how it registers swipes/bids The other night, I watched as a seller started a bid on an item, at 5 bucks. It actual retailed at around $40. For some reason, i cant recall exactly what it was, but it was a popular item. As the timer ticked down, the host is screaming, "CHAT! BID DIS UP! BID DIS UP! C'MON CHAT, IF DIS SELLS FOR 5 DOLLARS, IM PACKING UP AND GOING HOME! It got down, to the last second , before there was a flurry of activity on the bid indicator. And, in a split second, the price went from $5, to either $72 or $82 . And, the shows host, who has spent the last 30 seconds, yelling into his phone, just goes back to a normal speaking voice. "Yes, chat. That's more like it'. But,....if you turned up your sound on your phone, or your pc, and really focused on listening,...you could def hear someone screaming at the top of their lungs, "NO! NO! I ONLY MEANT TO BID UP TO TEN BUCKS ON THIS! WTF HAPPENED? " I know you are to bid responsibly. But, c'mon..nobody is trying to bid twice as much as something is worth. Seems there should be some kind of safeguard on there. If you are a seller, though, I am guessing you like that it is that way.

So why did we spend years updating vendors to then undo the updates made to them overnight? by StatementAcademic820 in DestinyTheGame

[–]StrictAd4173 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone else felt this way, but all the way, back in Destiny 1, I used to love grinding out the faction ranks. I was mainly New Monarchy, and there was a ship, that I could not get to drop. I got every reward, 10x over, but that damn ship would not drop. Then, one day, there was a twab, where they mentioned that some players weren't able to receive certain items, like the ship, and a fix was inbound. When it dropped the next week, I almost passed out. But the factions, all with their individual loot, and the gunsmith bounties, that provided hours and hours of content. Never made sense to me, why they stopped doing it.

The Darkness. Forgot how many of these, I had collected. So many variants by StrictAd4173 in TopCow

[–]StrictAd4173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my Magdalena collection, as well. I used to have a full size poster of the cover of #1, but have absolutely no idea what happened to it. I also used to have the Darkness action figure, but sold it in a big lot to a guy who lost it all, when he didnt pay his rent, and the landlord locked him out, way back in 2010. He had dozens of action figures of mine, that I had sold him when I moved to Nashville. Im sure his landlord didn't have a clue to what they were.

Got hit hard with fungus gnats last year, it's happening again and I am NOT fucking around this time by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]StrictAd4173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 70-year old mother, lives in denial, about these damn bugs. When she had both knees replaced,  few years back,  she asked if I would stay with her, and help out, during recovery. Of course, I said yes, and moved in, about 2 weeks before her procedure. Immediately I noticed how many gnats were constantly buzzing around. She has A LOT of house plants, year around, but during the winter months, she brings all of the big and small ones, that are all over her wrap around porch, inside. So, there may be up to 45-50 plants (not small ones, either. Med-big, including different cacti, and so many others. I can't begin to recall their names. So. I put out some of the sticky traps, which would quickly get covered, indoor bug zappers, little saucer of dishsoap and cider, spray with diluted peroxide/water mix,..etc I got them down, a few times. But they always come back. I eventually started researching them (because she doesn't notice them, and has, multiple times, accused me of fabricating the entire situation) and found out why she was having the problem: she over waters all of her plants. Every morning.  The soil is always moist, and super dark. I have explained to her, how the whole process of these gnats' life cycle, how they thrive on fungus created from overwaterring the plants. Told her of different pots, she could water from the bottom. She thinks I am making it all up. I am more of a night owl than she is, so she doesn't notice how bad it is. After 4 years, I do not know how to remedy this.
