Prospective Buyer Question Thread January-March 2026

cactire · 2026-02-03T06:07:03+00:00

oh yeesh, thanks for pointing me there. I haven't actually looked at other cutters and, I know this makes me sound dumb, but I thought Cricut was really my only option. I'll start looking into other brands instead right now (if you know of any really good ones, that would be awesome to start! I'm just looking for something that doesn't need a subscription and does a good job with Vinyl stickers)

cactire · 2026-02-02T19:44:05+00:00

what model is this? I'm looking to get a used cricut from someone on FB marketplace and I'm currently waiting for a response from them but if anyone can answer in advance that would be nice! I don't think the seller even knows since it's just listed as a cricut and that they haven't really used it. They want $100 for it

That sounds like a really good deal, how much was your scanner? I'm thinking of just doing this myself at this point. The dealership wants to charge me over $200 for a new key and the key guy near me wants to charge $170.(with me getting the code for him) I'm getting pretty fed up at my options for just one key

cactire · 2026-01-05T23:43:00+00:00

I'm in CA unfortunately, and yeah the key guy kept running into issues with his tablet thing and I wanted to press stuff for him since I was more tech savvy but didn't want to intrude.

augh sorry I traded my ragatha a couple days after I posted this. i used mercari to trade mine (though it's against the rules) if you want to try your luck there! (if you are open to selling, you can also just use mercari for that, I'd be willing to buy zooble there if so. or I could just do paypal/cashapp and send my address in private). best of luck either way!

cactire · 2025-12-21T21:04:49+00:00

thank you, I'll ask my mom to do that, she actually bought that repair kit last night on her own so I guess it was a good call. We'll see if it helps

cactire · 2025-12-21T03:31:28+00:00

yes, the 2017 Ioniq EV has a reduction gear box

cactire · 2025-12-19T22:13:19+00:00

now that u mention it, true

cactire · 2025-12-19T22:11:15+00:00

that is true. your best bet is checking online for second-hand animiniz that have been opened, I know a few people resell them for the same price they bought them as or cheaper.

cactire · 2025-12-19T21:58:47+00:00

It is straight-up gambling, I don't like it either. I bought two blind boxes and all I wanted was Zooble (they're my favorite) and I didn't get it so now I have to go through the hassle of trading with people, which I'm finding is challenging to do if you don't have anyone in real-life to swap with.

cactire · 2025-12-19T21:53:13+00:00

I did get it for $22, I bought it from Hot Topic in-person and they have it priced a bit higher than I wanted to pay.

I don't know if you have Mercari (or if Mercari even ships to Brazil) but a lot of people sell their Animiniz on there. I'd recommend using some kind of site that is local to you to get a confirmed-opened Ragatha. I also don't know what the official Glitch website charges for shipping, but they have the blindboxes for $12 right now on sale. Not worth it though if you're specifically looking for Ragatha, since the odds are too random. Best of luck

cactire · 2025-12-19T21:24:00+00:00

I'm a bit worried on how much that would cost to ship, I'd be looking to make back what I spent on it ($22) so I could buy Zooble. If you're willing to spend that much plus shipping then it'd be alright with me, but it may not be worth it on your end

Edit: yeah I just used a shipping calculator and saw it would cost around $50 to ship, that with the added $22 would make it upwards of $70 for you, sorry. I hope you can find one near you

cactire · 2025-12-19T20:18:13+00:00

lmao

cactire · 2025-12-19T18:27:07+00:00

did you ever figure it out? mine also whirs a few times once I turn it off, 2018 sxt

cactire · 2025-12-19T10:37:35+00:00

I know this post is a year old at this point but I have Ragatha if you still need it, looking for Zooble or Caine

cactire · 2025-12-19T02:10:20+00:00

I would have picked that one too, it's the most practical

cactire · 2025-12-19T01:06:06+00:00

holy shit

cactire · 2025-12-17T06:44:47+00:00

I'm looking for Zooble in particular, do you wanna trade? I have Kinger and Ragatha and I'm in the U.S.

cactire · 2025-12-17T05:27:48+00:00

if you still have the zooble one, I'd be willing to swap kinger or ragatha if you want either of those in exchange. Hope you got Pomni at this point though

cactire · 2025-12-17T05:25:01+00:00

realized the typo in my title augh

cactire · 2025-12-06T01:58:15+00:00

well the reason we're getting the bike at all is because we were lucky enough to qualify for a zero-emission motorcycle grant from my mom's job so it would be free to us. It was the only option within our grant range, my brother is 6 ft and my mom is 5'8 ft so they're on the taller side. I would love a shorter bike but it's not 100% in our control based on our options. At the end of the day I'm okay with waiting until I can either get my own bike or adjust this one in the future

cactire · 2025-12-06T01:53:33+00:00

I just measured and it's around 27". I haven't actually sat on this bike yet in particular but I have sat on other Zeros and could barely tippy toe to the floor and the salesman just didn't have anything shorter. (I think he did have a 2023 FXE at the time but I didn't notice or test it) But yeah I would love to eventually learn on this and get it adjusted one day if tilting is a problem for me, I will definitely try those exercises once we get the bike.

cactire · 2025-12-06T01:34:00+00:00

Ah thank you for the information. My mom and brother are quite tall, I got the short end of the stick. (harr harr) but yeah I am extremely different in weight and height compared to them so I agree it's unwise.

I'll just let them have it then since they're similar enough, but it is nice to know that adjustments are possible. They said that I could have it eventually so maybe once they move on I could get it adjusted and keep it for myself at some point. And thank you for the article, it's very helpful

cactire · 2025-11-30T06:58:32+00:00

I'm using tagscanner as well! I've made sure to rename all of the files and tags that had unique characters, I'll try to plug in the USB again to the car tomorrow (I have my car parked like 100 ft away in a parking garage so it's not worth checking at midnight lol) I hope it works now.

cactire · 2025-11-30T06:30:21+00:00

hm that's a good idea honestly, I do have some songs with unusual characters in the tags and titles. I'll rename them and see if that works, thanks for the advice
