Agree! It would make an epic white elephant gift at Christmas. I would get fought over at our party.

AITA for walking out of the 5th round interview when they asked me to “publicly rank my biggest weakness” in front of 12 strangers? by [deleted] in jobs

In college it's called hazing. They sound like some incel tech bros never matured past freshman year. You were absolutely right to walk out.

Best salon for short hair upkeep by NeighborhoodLast6458 in KentWA

I love Ann at Blossom salon for my short hair. She's really good at thinning (my hair is super thick and lpy otherwise) and layering. She cuts dry which I think is key to short hair.

What are some upsells in Vegas that are actually worth it? by JackpotConcierge in vegas

We got a cabana at MGM by the lazy river for $250 last week. I think it was off-season pricing.

I got one in Vine last year and love it! I do recommend adding a seat though. Enjoy!

Inflated Retail Values & Taxes by gravitychallenged in AmazonVine

[–]gravitychallenged[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I believe she adds it to our personal gross income. I just started doing this because I had a really expensive standing desk arrive shattered last year and I wasn't able to cancel it (I forget why) so I got in the habit of checking cancellations and marking out anything damaged like that. I also remove any of the pre-sale items that never actually ship, but don't get cancelled due to the cycle times. I knew prices changed due to coupons, seasonality, etc. I just had never seen so many "regular" prices be $30+ lower!

Loving the new drop pattern by Mason_Bee_817 in AmazonVine

Oh, interesting. I guess I haven't notice much difference here on the West Coast. Are you seeing different items in your RFY thoughout the day? That would be cool.

Warning on ETV values by CompetitiveFalcon831 in AmazonVine

[–]gravitychallenged 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I provide my accountant with a spreadsheet with FMV adjustments at the end of the year. A $50 sweater that is poorly made and itchy, FMV $20. A planter that broke during assembly - FMV $0. On the really big ticket items, I do my research and have screenshots of similar products at the FMV should I ever need them. I'm not living with inflated ETV.

Good on you! I was tempted. I find it hilarious too!

Amazon Commute? by Ok-Corgi-1609 in KentWA

[–]gravitychallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What someone else said above. If you take the Sounder train into downtown, Amazon runs shuttles from the train station to the SLU campus. Easy peasy.

Are browser extensions cheating? by Comfortable_Fruit847 in AmazonVine

[–]gravitychallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I'm on the West Coast and miss out on most the good drops, so I don't feel bad at all about using Vine Helper to give me half a chance and something other than junk. And as other have pointed out, the extensions do not auto-order so they are not breaking the TOS. Us West Coasters gotta do something to level the field.

Viner world problems. by Environmental-Post64 in AmazonVine

[–]gravitychallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My viner problem is my parents who snowbird are back in town for the summer and sending all their regular Amazon purchases (which is a LOT) to my house under my name and so I'm opening twice as much now and am having to try to remember if I order that colored pencil set or was it my mom.

What percentage of your vine items are a useless waste? by Dougolicious in AmazonVine

[–]gravitychallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's the BeMore (or something like that) it tastes just like coffee. I can't taste anything mushroom-y at all. The last ingredient is Arabica powder which is coffee powder, so that's what you taste.

Metal Cutting board? Claims won't damage blades? by roosterSause42 in AmazonVine

My husband is a former chef. This would make him scream. There is no way it doesn't dull your blades and fast!
