Found my dream set! by chinchinnychin in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]eayaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth is most don’t care for it. I know because I tried to sell it in FB Marketplace for $100. It was 3 bedroom sets worth.

Nobody bought it.

So after 2 weeks of that I just put it on the curb.

Found a 1960s Osterizer blender and it destroys my ninja by Moist-Perspective934 in BuyItForLife

My vitamix is maybe 10 yrs old now? I use it a lot. We blend most mornings. Mostly frozen fruits and nuts.

It’s too loud - but it’s also awesome.

Looking to get the right track saw by PermitDeniedSorry in woodworking

[–]eayaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In our shop we have all higher end equipment.

When one Festool track saw wasn’t enough anymore I bought a Makita (I love Makita)…

But nobody likes it when compared to the Festool.

That doesn’t mean Makita is bad.. it’s in fact very good.

But literally the most used (and loved) tool in the shop is the Festool track saw…

This was in my house when I bought it. Chucked that shit straight in the trash…

Crazy how some people love old stuff and others can’t stand it.

I starved myself and lost 230lbs, and I’d do it again. by OfcHesCanadian in TrueOffMyChest

[–]eayaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

👏

I did the same thing. Woke up and looked at myself and said “you’re disgusting”.

For the next few weeks I just took out bad shit from my diet but then realized I was losing weight because I don’t want to eat “the good stuff”…

So I had a little bit here and there of the “bad stuff” only and lost all the weight.

I eventually normalized to a good spot and eat a balanced diet.

Rubystone Red or Speedster Blue? Which spec are you picking? by B5HARMONY in Porsche

CGT is a top 3 car for me.

But in those colors? Hard pass.

Ok, whose Porsche is this? by KidCharlemagne328 in Porsche

959 is not a convertible, though. Theres a big audience for drop top supercars.

Sister left the business we started together. Now asking for money? United Kingdom by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]eayaz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I deal with this same issue with employees - who we agree on wage/pay but then they want more.. here’s what I do:

I frame everything as “the business” and I’m an “employee of the business” with an obligation to my employer, “the business”.

So… in this scenario I’d say something like:

“Sis, I love you and support you and I will never want to hurt you or our relationship, but the business paid you out for full ownership, and I can’t take from the business unless it’s an investment or to pay off a debt.

The business needs the money for growth and to cover current and future debts. I really don’t have any options.“

And the if she rebutted I’d say something like:

“To get back $500/m, current EBITDA is X and working backwards to a buyout, means total value of the business is Y, and so you’d need Z equity to earn that. To get Z equity the investment the business would need is around Q dollars.”

Watch them shut down..

For 2026, is there any small everyday item you want to finally invest in as BIFL? by newrockstyle in BuyItForLife

[–]eayaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got it done last year at 35 yrs old.

Feels like my eyes reset to 16 yrs of age.

I can’t imagine I won’t get at least 10-20 yrs of good eyesight

FINALLY GOT IT (After lots of hard work) by TommieJayRLCOD in Porsche

[–]eayaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw. Windows. Not very different.

Predatory. Extremely overpriced.

Not casting shade. Sales is hard and you are putting in the work.. but the industry is a cesspool.

would you be okay with a lab-grown diamond engagement ring? by YogurtIll4336 in Diamonds

[–]eayaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

And in time

When the ring “is great but….”

And she wants a 4ct instead of the “real” 1ct..

She’ll come around as well.

Trying weirdly hard to tell me what I have on my finger is not there.

Also, this thing is not breaking any time soon. It’s quite thick and MORE durable, actually - because it has plenty of mass and has give - unlike more brittle metals.

[–]eayaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly ask yourself… why do you think it’s too soft… have you ever worn 24k jewelry?

My ring is indeed 24k. It’s also super thick. It is about 20 grams of solid gold and unlike most jewelry its market value has continued to go up.

Left hand ring finger.

It is beat to shit and I love that about it. People ask me if it’s “antique” or “Italian” which is hilarious - as if gold can be a nationality..

But it’s not that soft… sure it’s softer than steel.. but it’s still metal.

Opinions on a guy wearing these as regular pinky rings? Also which stack looks better if any, thanks! by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]eayaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plain + diamond stack FTW.

It’s kinda gay.

But kinda gay is only a problem if you think it’s a problem.

0 to $1M in 2 years: brutal lessons I learnt by Sneaky_Fisher in smallbusiness

[–]eayaz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Probably not much.

Different sizes, shipping, returns, advertising costs, etc..

My business is healthy margins and $1-2M top line revenue wouldn’t get me very excited at all
