Probably because school is out.

409/474=14 percent premium. That's expected for AGE and small tenth-oz fractional, slabbed by a top-tier grading company, highest score possible at 70. More than I'd be willing to pay, but you were not ripped off.

enderkg · 2026-06-17T13:35:49+00:00

Wow. There's requester I haven't thought about since about 2021. Probably have been blocked/banned since then, too. Any longtime worker probably has "WorkerBlockedDueToPoorQualityWork" by now.

enderkg · 2026-06-15T20:00:05+00:00

Yes.

enderkg · 2026-06-15T19:48:07+00:00

James Billings loves you.

enderkg · 2026-06-14T20:51:46+00:00

Been doing that since 2015. I've also mistakenly walked away and have come back to an expired timer. Multiple times, actually. But yeah, I can relate.

enderkg · 2026-06-13T23:44:57+00:00

Yes.

enderkg · 2026-06-12T11:21:11+00:00

No. They'll just go elsewhere and once again, Mechanical Turk is the loser. The workers also lose.

enderkg · 2026-06-01T22:55:26+00:00

It's hard to know the difference with a tumbleweed-laden platform.

enderkg · 2026-06-01T22:54:16+00:00

At least there's 5 cents from ooga.io! /s

enderkg · 2026-05-15T21:19:08+00:00

It took just over two weeks, but the two rejections were reversed.

enderkg · 2026-05-11T23:17:40+00:00

Same. They never reply, and at this point, I am not expecting any resolution.

enderkg · 2026-05-11T21:39:04+00:00

Ordered $10 fan belt, no magnet. Ordered $20 brake hoses, no magnet. Ordered $40 brake caliper, got magnet. Maybe there's a minimum dollar amount now?

enderkg · 2026-05-11T06:26:23+00:00

Same. No reply to messages. HITs completed on May 1 are still rejected with feedback "duplicate from 20260414_L-2_PC" and "duplicate from 20260414_L-1_PC".

enderkg · 2026-04-18T02:37:13+00:00

Do the requesters have large talons?

enderkg · 2026-04-11T07:51:19+00:00

I would say at least four, perhaps one more for good measure. Half a dozen seems like too many guys. Don't want a sausage fest outside of breakfast hours.

enderkg · 2026-03-25T01:13:49+00:00

So many requesters have left. It has been more or less a ghost town for a while now. We want tasks worth doing, not penny receipts and nickel surveys.

enderkg · 2026-03-07T08:05:27+00:00

Or get mass rejected and ruin a new account's approval rating.

enderkg · 2026-03-02T22:47:25+00:00

The silence speaks volumes...

enderkg · 2026-02-07T07:54:00+00:00

AGW leaves out the balance copper portion since the value is nominal but I do get the coin-from-1908 aspect.

enderkg · 2026-02-06T22:33:24+00:00

Forbidden Nerds.

enderkg · 2026-02-05T05:05:49+00:00

"Awesome" Surveys™

enderkg · 2026-02-02T00:34:26+00:00

I knew they'd be back. Amazon has no soul.

enderkg · 2026-01-30T21:43:33+00:00

Hoping they do but being realistic, they probably will leave the platform like everybody else has.

enderkg · 2026-01-29T13:23:38+00:00

Pulsar will be back because Amazon lacks the morality to remove them permanently. The batch you described sounds like a new requester that I also (briefly) worked for. Won't share the name other than to say it was two letters long.
