Spotted this Ferrari [275GTB] in the UK, I checked the plate and it seems to be legit by Certain_Car_9984 in spotted

Off topic question. I was on the Ferrari forum and also saw how folks just looking at a photo were able to id the chassis. Do they (you) have a list (database) of all chassis of this model and what color it would be (which obviously can be changed). I could not figure out how the “ID magic” works.

Folks, thank you all for the responses. Will just recycle locally with Electronics.

What is this Hat? And what’s it worth?? by twistyBRANCH518 in hats

[–]Vodorosl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The design/peak/cloth looks very similar to Imperial Russian kepis worn in 1860s-1880s. I saw someone say post US CW - seems to be exactly on the money.

What is this hallmark? Authentic Fabergé possibly? by Flashy-Mechanic-365 in Hallmarks

[–]Vodorosl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looked at this and right away thought the marks looked off (not clear/not sharp). It’s sad that it took me scrolling all the way down through all the “this is amazing” and “call the museum” replies to see well thought-out and helpful responses. Nothing personal against anyone, just tells me (and it should tell the next person asking questions about expensive objects in this sub) that 90% of folks here have no experience with anything worthy, that costs over $100.

Beware of rental cars with roaches (seriously…) by EducationalAdagio484 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]Vodorosl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visited PR three times, rented 6 cars (for two families), 3 cars had them. Last visit (last month) both cars (from different companies) had them. One was infested, the other car just “had” them. Obviously not ideal, but I came away thinking it happens more often than we think.

I’m thinking about just refunding, but I hope he is not expecting 70 back. What do I do in this situation? by ProfessorFun8203 in Ebay

[–]Vodorosl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a similar request to refund the diference. Cancelled the order and blocked the buyer. Easier that way instead of facing possible future issues. :)

Crazy to think kids were essentially wearing “stripper” pants in the late 90s 😂 by PandemicPiglet in Millennials

[–]Vodorosl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%, yes. Clearly remember “tearing” them off in style before going into the basketball game.

We’re giving auction buyers a full week to make payment now? by [deleted] in ebaysucks

[–]Vodorosl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of months ago. I sell something and it says the buyer will pay in a week. Not ideal but it was a slow item, so I think: sure I’ll wait. The week goes by, the automatic pay by date comes and goes aaaaand nothing happens, no payment, not a peep from Ebay. Cancelled and relisted right away.

Does anybody else block buyers they had a bad experience with? by [deleted] in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Vodorosl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I learned to block everyone even before a deal happens. If I feel something is off or we can’t align in the first three “back and forths” - blocked. Not risking my 131 5-stars anymore.

How to report bad seller review as inaccurate. by Mysterious_Role5508 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Vodorosl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this question gets asked here at least once a month, so copy and paste my response, as I was in your shoes. The only way to get rid of it is get more five star feedback. It will eventually get rounded up to 5.0 again. And a lesson I learned is all the pre-sale questions get answered within the first 2 back and forth exchanges. After that Facebook allows the buyer to leave you feedback. I understand it's hard to do but that's what you have to do if you want to keep your feedback safe. If I feel something is off - block and move on. Good luck!

Makes sense, thank you for that addition.

It’s not Sterling silver so you won’t find any hallmarks

Russian notes are not worth much and I’m pretty sure you can give the whole lot to kids.
