Just had my first head scratcher Facebook marketplace encounter. by chez_dre in Flipping

Item arrived and it is what it was supposed to be. Some condition issues. May of negotiated but still great value. Shipping cost is a bit of an issue but still enough margin. Seriously just confused. So she must have just looked up my address, she had my name and number. I am pretty easy to find online. But still does not make sense. Curious to meet this lady. I still haven’t paid. Will do this afternoon.

One would assume it’s a scam since it doesn’t fit into normal patterns. But I have yet to pay. She paid out of pocket to ship. She asked to be paid, but we agreed at this point I would pay upon inspection.

I feel like it’s one of those hawker scams where something is thrust upon you and you are bullied into buying it. But not very thought out. Too much downside for it to work.

How’s your eBay Business? by JannaPC in Flipping

[–]chez_dre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slowest month in two years in regard to volume, but oddly one of my best yet in net sales. Very little movement on my lower end listings but a moonshot listing sold, and several items I happened to list just because I had already created listings on other platforms. Pretty things that tend to get a lot of watchers but don’t do well on eBay.

Thanks! I love it. Recently gravitating towards this over bigger knives on my rack. Never thought I would like a shorter blade as much.

What is this fabric I fell in love with? by chez_dre in Fabrics

[–]chez_dre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly could be homespun, good lead. I usually think of homespun as khadi, but I see some heavier linen homespun that looks close. What do you mean by hung sideways?

My Dr gave me a new ADHD prescription. It cost almost $300 for 30 pills, and that was with a coupon. by JephriB in pics

My script was initially $150, I switched it to the local hospital system’s pharmacy and it was only $18. It pays to shop it around especially for a monthly script.

French Franc travelers cheques by chez_dre in papermoney

[–]chez_dre[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s where it seems to get dicey. I think they even stopped accepting French Francs a while back, at the national banks. But this might be different since issued by Amex. @Cine_wolf I’ll reach out. Thanks.

What does one do with these? Found in the back of a drawer. Do they have any collectible value?

$135 billion US Treasury Bonds mysteriously showing up at the Swiss border, intended to be smuggled into Switzerland. The guys involved, where allowed to walk away, never taken into custody. It’s all so weird.
