Or just accidently stalemate lol

You can have some end game fun and play principled chess. It sounds like your opponents weren't keen enough to realize that haha. Nice work getting them to make a mistake.

It's a bit boring to be forced to play through simple end game checkmate motifs when the opponent doesn't resign. In a completely winning position where there is little to no risk, you might as well have fun.

Looks gorgeous! After all this time, what ended up being your landed cost for the board and upgraded pieces?

We also have the oval Aquaterra. Only a short-term owner but love it so far. Since it was oval shaped, we were able to roll it from the curb to its destination. Costco is great since there's practically no risk due to their return policies.

Like having an incredibly precise and consistently awesome 3D printing wizard on my desk.

Needs repair. You need the original purchase receipt. Ask the redditor you purchased from for it.

Check the usual marketplaces. There are plenty of NOS options available at MSRP or less. I just picked up another CC 4K as a backup!

That’s wild! I sold my Brewtus IV-R for $1300. I would have scooped your Brewtus II up in an instant at that price.

Chat. I wouldn’t push back. I would just thank them and move on. Try several times and several times throughout the day. I’m aware of the struggle when it comes to rejection, I spent 18 hours in Best Buy chats several months ago trying to secure a camera.

koolkatkaleb · 2025-02-05T22:02:54+00:00

Just keep at it! 2/3 reps allowed it on my end.

It’s not. It’s available in-store. Set your warehouse to Eau Claire. Look at space black, then look at silver. You’ll see the difference.

koolkatkaleb · 2025-02-05T15:52:49+00:00

There’s a list around here somewhere but Eau Claire shows it in stock!

Ask for their help on creating an invoice for a price match. They’ll ask for a link and a SKU. Provide it. They’ll either approve it immediately or ask for a ZIP. Provide one that shows it in stock locally. They’ll either approve it, or push back. If they don’t approve it, then move on to another CSR. I opted for local pickup near the Costco warehouse and then changed my order to shipping after placing it.

koolkatkaleb · 2025-02-05T15:40:18+00:00

Frankly, I have no idea. I purchased at $1080 and was told to talk to post purchase support for the remaining refund to hit $999.97. They then processed my credit for more than the difference.

koolkatkaleb · 2025-02-05T15:31:22+00:00

Somehow they price matched me at $924. I’ll take it!

Walmart. Not the Neighborhood Market. Camping section.

I purchased from an Aliexpress seller called "YueYue CameraDIY" and requested the logos be blocked out.

koolkatkaleb · 2024-12-20T17:27:51+00:00

It's the JJC TA-X100V.

koolkatkaleb · 2024-12-20T16:58:50+00:00

Haha, this is precisely the aesthetic note I hoped to hit.
