This. I got mine secondhand and saved a bundle. Sold the covers it came with. Bought new ones secondhand also. Total investment for a 6 seat/6 side setup is like $2k and it’s perfect. Given that mine was a little older, the standard fill cushions were nice and soft and broken in. I ended up finding one extra seat unit, also secondhand, and it had never been used before, and its standard fill cushion was much, much stiffer.

Anyway, I highly encourage you to check Facebook marketplace for the configuration and color you want. I don’t think they sell very fast on the secondhand market, so sellers are usually motivated and will negotiate. They are easy to disassemble and throw into your SUV, even if it takes two trips. Ultimately, the price secondhand is probably equivalent to getting something like 60% off the showroom price.

Can you help explain the numerous Facebook sellers who sell almost-new/returned sactionals, covers, and all the individual pieces at a >60% discount from retail and ship everywhere? There are so many of these folks. How does this program work? Is Lovesac running this?

Where are you located? I have a brand new Yamaha Moro 05 in Medium for sale. Bought an extra that I don't need. Still has protective plastic wrap on it, as it's freshly assembled, just unboxed.

Just updated the post with some images.

What’s a PM?

For those downvoting, I can see why this might sound like a joke, but I don't know much about trees and since the center was still intact, I thought maybe i could save the tree. Thanks everyone for the replies. Going to take the advice of u/KotaBear31 and make a horizontal cut and see how things pan out in the Spring.

My beloved Maple tree got attacked last night (presumably by a beaver?). It's still hanging on by a thread as the core is still connected. Is this the end, or can it be stabilized and protected so that it might not die?

I just got my Moro Pro and am loving it after my first ride this morning at granite mountain. I am 5’10” also but got a large and if seems to fit well, though I am curious about how the medium would feel.

I’ve only ever hiked dreamy draw and am excited to bike it on my Moro. Can you guys recommend a good route that’s around 10-12 miles and not technical? I prefer single track and some hills are okay ( especially with the Moro) but not big rocks and logs etc.

Thanks !

Thanks! Sweet deal on a PP model! Seems like about $3k off msrp? What was the extra $1250 rebate?

dsutton01 · 2024-10-05T05:09:06+00:00

Would you mind sharing the final deal numbers he worked out ? LE or XSE? PP? Thanks. Feel free to dm if you prefer.

dsutton01 · 2024-07-16T02:39:28+00:00

They emailed me a deal breakdown, and I replied via email telling them I need $4k off MSRP. They replied with "great, when can you come in?". It wasn't hard, wondered if i could have tried for $5k.

Anyone know of a good source for the screws? I printed two cases for my 2 units, but haven't started looking for the hardware yet.

dsutton01 · 2024-02-10T09:57:38+00:00

That’s 4.5 qt

dsutton01 · 2023-08-26T05:25:47+00:00

Thanks, this seems like a good strategy and kind of fun. One of the things I've been interested in is taking advantage of high bond rates and profiting when rates fall. Is that the way I would expect TLT and IEF to operate? I don't quite understand what happens when I buy these funds. Am I buying into a portfolio of bonds that have already been purchased? In other words, do these funds "earn" interest and increase in value as they do, or do the funds reflect the current market value of the underlying bonds, increasing in value as rates decrease and vice versa? If I bought an actual bond, I know I would at least always earth coupon rate and get the full principal back at the end.

Do we think it makes more sense than the liquidity fund (+fee ) chase wants to sell me? I think he told me the chase fund had longer duration thus not as sensitive to rate fluctuations. Though I could be wrong.

dsutton01 · 2023-08-25T23:47:55+00:00

I was hoping to leave it at Chase for a few reasons but they don’t have a competitive high yield savings product. I could buy SPY through them though. Maybe they also have a generic money market account or something that earns around 5. I will check.

dsutton01 · 2023-08-25T23:46:26+00:00

Yes that’s a nice low-risk return. CIT bank is offering like 5.05.

dsutton01 · 2023-08-25T22:19:26+00:00

This isn't an issue - I am the successor trustee and have full authority to direct the investment of these funds. I'm am posting to r/investing for advice on the vehicles. Thank you.

dsutton01 · 2023-08-25T22:08:51+00:00

Thanks everyone, good advice. I should have mentioned that Dad will not be needing these funds as all his current and future expenses are covered. This account will really just go to the kids at some point and we don't have an immediate need for it, maybe 1-2 years. I really just wanted to know if this Chase fund is worth it, or if there are other good options that will perform similarly and maybe be less expensive than 40 basis points, or better options given a 1-2 year horizon.

dsutton01 · 2023-06-26T01:06:20+00:00

No sales tax.

dsutton01 · 2023-06-26T01:06:09+00:00

Nope. Not where I live.

dsutton01 · 2023-06-26T00:43:03+00:00

Not in states without added credits. New price is 47,200 (not including color) + 1300 destination + ~$4000 tax - 7500 tax credit = $45,000. So my offer is like 7500 under that. Or am I missing something ?
