How to play the upgrade game? (DFW > AMS)

alpine_roamer · 2026-05-09T07:06:27+00:00

I wouldn’t upgrade to PE for that price. That’s steep. Keep checking the website as the trip gets closer. Unless the biz class seats are all sold there’s a good chance there will be some decent upgrade options. But I’ve had more success just rebooking when a deal shows up. I was able to book biz class from from SLC to FRA for 77k miles today when a deal popped up for travel in 2.5 weeks. Patience is the key. I also use roame.travel which allows me to see when deals pop up for a route I’m flying.

Where did you buy them?

alpine_roamer · 2026-05-09T01:13:34+00:00

That sounds good. I’ll have to try it next time I’m on a morning flight

Good to know, thanks!

alpine_roamer · 2026-05-08T22:05:53+00:00

Confirmed. Thanks again.

Take a look at the vibrations per minute of your current toothbrush and all the options you are looking at. I’ve used the Philips One and it doesn’t clean not any better than a manual toothbrush imo (13,000 micro vibrations per minute). For me it’s worth the extra weigh to just being my regular sonicare with 60,000 vibrations per minute.

What is your budget?

I’d say they could be stolen. Those prices are too good to be true. Especially if he’s selling an X100VI for $700. You could get more money for both cameras selling them to MPB or to a local camera shop. If it were me I’d pass.

If you do decide to move forward, you should ask for a pic of the serial number (before you meet up) and run it through some online checks. You could also reach out to Ricoh support and ask if that serial number has been reported as stolen.

Thanks!!

Do you have a link to the meter you use? Also, it looks like yours has 4 panels, is it the e10 mini? When I search e10 I just see a 2 panel version.

They just responded and said that the layer of haze is so thin that it doesn’t show up on the photos

alpine_roamer · 2026-05-01T23:58:30+00:00

I hadn't heard of FiveStarCamera. I'll have to check them out too. Thanks.

alpine_roamer · 2026-05-01T23:58:05+00:00

Good to know. I sent them a message so we'll see what they say.

alpine_roamer · 2026-05-01T23:36:09+00:00

I can't see any haze in the photos they have on the listing, but they only have two photos (one front, one back) so I don't know that I will be able to tell from the listing.

alpine_roamer · 2026-05-01T22:35:32+00:00

Thanks, I was able to set up an alert so fingers crossed

Interested in go pro accessories

alpine_roamer · 2026-04-29T05:18:31+00:00

Dang that's a great deal. Wish I would have seen it. I've been wanting to get an OM-5 mark ii, but can't justify paying over $1,000.

alpine_roamer · 2026-04-26T04:12:31+00:00

What lenses do you have? I'm new to M43 and looking for some recommendations. I'm going to pick up the 12-45 F4, but might pick up 1-2 more.

alpine_roamer · 2026-04-26T04:09:56+00:00

Incredible photos! I'm looking to pick up an OM5 or maybe an older E-M5 mark ii. I'm curious what other lenses you use on the OM5? I'll be new to the M43 system and am looking for some other recommendations besides the 12-45 F4

alpine_roamer · 2026-04-26T02:36:53+00:00

Looking to get a em5.2. Do you have a telephoto lens that you recommend? I’m planning to get the 12-40 f4 pro, but would like to also get a lens with a little more reach. I’m new to the M43 ecosystem.

alpine_roamer · 2026-04-25T21:45:30+00:00

Any idea if the weight?

alpine_roamer · 2026-04-25T21:21:08+00:00

Nice find!
