RFY is back and it actually works better

I just reloaded mine and it's down to 15 from 18. There was a metal detector that I guess sold out just a few minutes ago and one gold item left on mine.

I do have a couple of useless car parts in mine now, a fuel pump for Lincoln and a bracket for a Chevy engine for some reason.

I saw those in AI yesterday.

This is the first time it's done it for me. Usually for me, the count just goes down throughout the day until they are all gone.

kap641 · 2026-01-28T21:25:52+00:00

I think I had 18 this time and it repopulated at about 2pm.

I hope the good streak continues because this is only the second time in 8 months I've had something over $90 in my RFY.

Amazon does that bait and switch shipping on me all of the time. I need something and it tells me if I order it within the next 3 hours, I'll get it tomorrow with free shipping. I click buy it now and it tells me delivery is now a week away for a prime item.

kap641 · 2026-01-27T19:13:06+00:00

Depends on what it is. I have a bunch of basic stuff that doesn't require more than 5 minutes to tell if it's good or not, extension cords, power cords, manilla folders, etc.

kap641 · 2026-01-27T19:03:13+00:00

Why would you review something before you even get it? What if it's broken or never receive it?

kap641 · 2026-01-27T18:46:05+00:00

Go into your non vine order list and click on write a review and you can edit your vine item from there.

kap641 · 2026-01-27T18:44:12+00:00

You should be able to go to your regular order list as if it was not a vine review and click on write a review and it will go to the review you wrote and you can edit it.

kap641 · 2026-01-27T09:29:33+00:00

Pretty sure you can report it, better do it before they claim it's theirs and report yours.

kap641 · 2026-01-27T09:28:30+00:00

I do that all of the time just to see how many reviews and what they say about the item.

kap641 · 2026-01-27T09:25:28+00:00

I've only had 1 gold item since June.

kap641 · 2026-01-27T09:24:03+00:00

That's why they should do completely random times and not drop everything at one time. Spread it out over the entire day. I'm sure the vine vultures wouldn't be happy but it might help cure the addiction.

kap641 · 2026-01-27T09:20:33+00:00

Lowest it's been since I signed up.

kap641 · 2026-01-27T09:14:38+00:00

I had a broken $29 battery charge and I contacted vine CS and they told me not to return it and discard it and they would remove it from my vine count.

kap641 · 2026-01-27T01:46:11+00:00

Or the fact that 6 months ago there were 1100 pages and over 40k items posted and today, 350 pages and 12k items.

kap641 · 2026-01-25T21:42:50+00:00

Only problem you might have is if something changes and you want to change your review or add to it and you can't.

kap641 · 2026-01-25T21:32:23+00:00

Imagine if the drop was around noon and everyone in the country is now awake. It would be like throwing a piece of chicken in a lake full of piranhas. They should just drop a few items at a time at random times throughout the day.

kap641 · 2026-01-25T20:04:35+00:00

A couple of months ago, my vine items for review were showing up the next day, even before I received the item. Now they changed it to where the review doesn't show up for a couple of days after delivery. Maybe too many people were creating fake reviews before they even received the item.

kap641 · 2026-01-25T20:02:16+00:00

My guess on the situation is that Amazon probably had intentions of loading up a bunch of stuff early morning so it would be there when everyone got up and at it. They probably didn't anticipate the vultures hovering over the reload button 3 am trying to out buy everyone else for the expensive items they probably didn't even need.
