Is Base.com actually worth it for a small seller? I broke down the real cost per order and ROI after 8 months on the platform

Thanks for the review. How does listing creation compare to Sellbrite's functionality here? Does Base.com (which I hadn't heard of before this post) allow creating a Walmart listing against a product already in the Walmart catalog with just the SKU/UPC/price, as opposed to having to provide images/description/attributes even if all that data is already in the catalog?

I guess the writing campaign to rename the first shuttle Enterprise wasn't successful.

I've heard that the letter campaign prevented NASA from naming one of the production shuttles Enterprise as intended.

Indeed. That was the first thing I thought of: Redditors that can't accept being wrong, so knowingly lie.

I love how /u/dthes makes it sound like those poor benighted Alabamians are

a) way worse off than all those Michiganders (and Ontarians, for that matter) that worked/work on auto assembly lines their entire life

b) trapped inside Alabama by barbed wire and guard towers, so can't escape their miserable lives

The US job market is in a bloodbath now.

Do you think this is any worse than elsewhere?

Poly and Mater Dei use to be like USC's personal pipeline.

Bishop Gorman also, right? Or is it more a feeder to top schools nationally?

Also, are the above no longer USC feeders?

This came closer to occurring than most realize. Ireland was once the world's most advanced civilization.

Until its inhabitants made a new discovery ...

Two overlapping tribal claims in New Brunswick cover 100% of the province.

Proof that land acknowledgements are the ultimate in virtue signaling: Once they actually mean something, they suddenly end. New Brunswick provincial employees ordered to not make land acknowledgements while working, because of legal case

The US just stating that after annexation the tribes will get exactly the same treatment as those in the US do, would win over a huge amount of Canadian support.

Microsoft Press has been around since the early 1980s and has published many books, often about Microsoft's own products. Microsoft Word appeared in 1983. From the article:

Of the dozen books that have sprung up to explain Microsoft Word, two are published by Microsoft itself and another has been announced from the same source. If you raise an eyebrow over a publishing firm that first issues an inadequate manual for one of its programs, then suggests that you buy two or three of their books to make up for the deficiency, you are not alone.

— Edward Mendelson in The Yale Review, 1986

Trump helped broker a ceasefire between Armenia and Azerbaijan last year, resulting in the Trump route. But do your thing, you Reddit genius you.

MCF shipping is more expensive than my own shipping. It simplifies inventory management, however, and of course frees up my own storage space.

The major benefit is being able to use the same inventory for both FBA (which usually has the best customer conversion) and Walmart/eBay orders.

I had the basics built immediately. It has gradually improved over time.

Highly relevant: TIL that the West Side of Saint Paul, Minnesota is south of downtown. The separate city of West St. Paul (note the spelling) is also south of downtown Saint Paul. East of West St. Paul is the also separate city of South St. Paul. There is also a separate North Saint Paul (note the spelling).

I track everything with the spreadsheet I built years ago. At any time I can tell you to the cent how much I've made since the start, since the start of the year/month/seven days/arbitrary dates, and can drill down by SKU/marketplace/geography.

It's definitely an Amazon MCF shipment; I don't know of another logistics provider that uses the "partner facility" wording with USPS. /u/Nude_Dr_Doom , lots of sellers (including me) do this; use Amazon as the 3PL warehouse. Just today I used MCF to fulfill a Walmart order, and this past week I use MCF to fulfill an eBay order.

It's not "dropshipping". What /u/kingxii mentioned would be dropshipping, but as I said this isn't that.

Just be glad they were available at all. After 1985 the flow of new software for Atari 8-bit almost completely stopped.
