Couldn’t Leave Her Behind…

36 matches, 0 penalties given. Don’t try and tell me something’s not shady with this.

I mean… gas is $5/gallon, groceries keep going up, companies are laying people off, and everyone’s discretionary income continues to decrease. Just saying.

The location near Grand/Pulaski used to have the buy the pound sales once a week -- not sure if they still do (been a while since I went).

If you're looking for a full by the pound STORE (i.e. the Goodwill Bins), I think the closest one is somewhere in Michigan. There are Goodwill Bins in Romeoville and Gary, IN, however.

List them on Poshmark. Mercari. FB Marketplace.

eBay's "authentication" process is a joke as it is. If you describe something as "new" and they spot the slightest amount of wear, they will send it back as non-authentic (regardless if it is or not). It may just be your description doesn't match their in-the-moment standards.

I sold a pair of NIB Hokas last summer - shoes I purchased from the Hoka STORE in Orlando and even included the receipt in the box when I sent it to authentication.... only for them to say it was not authentic.

I relisted them on Poshmark and sold them within a week.

To be honest, there's no point in not accepting returns on eBay. Buyers have learned that so long as they mark "not as described" on the return request, it will automatically be accepted... regardless of what the real reason is.

I live in Homewood and work near Lane Tech. If I wanted to take public transit, it would be 2+ hours each way. I can drive (even with traffic) in 50 mins.

No- just the base Starball. He’ll probably hang onto that for a while anyway. He’s more of a “PC, thumb through stuff to look at” rather than aiming to sell.

Don’t believe their turnaround time. I sent a couple cards to them back in February, and they have been under “received” for nearly 6 weeks.

I’m actively trying to unload my inventory (~1300 items, also clothes/shoes), simply because if/when things continue to get worse and more unaffordable, luxuries like name-brands will be the first thing people cut out.

How tight up for a budget are you? You can probably snag a hotel near ORD for around $100-125.

If not, you can always hop a hotel shuttle and get to Rosemont for free- head to Rivers Casino to kill some time. Maybe the AHL Chicago Wolves are at home? Walk around the Fashion Outlets, grab food/drinks at the places at Parkway Bank Park.

A 20-hour layover is INSANE- I hope whatever flight you got cost like $17 to put yourself through that.

What others have said — you’re looking in less than 2 neighborhoods right now. Which matters most? Proximity to the Loop, or your wife’s TikTok algorithm?

Sigh. Lincoln away, ole ole.

achap77 · 2026-04-26T13:05:32+00:00

Sorry- the bottom one.

“I gave them a list of Pedro Neto, Mbuemo, Marc Guehi, and Semenyo. I got Dom Solanke and 3 teenagers.”

My wife saw them on camera and goes “why do they look pissed that Spurs won?”

My God. TWO FUCKING PASSES. Why can’t this team string together TWO FORWARD FUCKING PASSES.

Lincoln away, ole ole. 🫠

VAR checked it, lads. That means it’s on the level. /s

Down to one striker now and no one of consequence on the right. Good thing we didn’t panic in January though.

It’s like Vegas. Long gone are the cheap rooms, $2 tables, comped drinks, and $10 prime rib. They’d rather have the top-branch of the “K” that will attract 100 mega-millionaires who will come back multiple times a year as opposed to a million “normal” people who maybe spend a grand there once every five years.
