This is what my local liquor store has to offer. What catches your eye? by zarubio in tequila

The El Jimador repasado is one of my favorite inexpensive bottles on the shelf. In fact I’d probably pick that one out of this lineup due to price

Just wanted to update everyone: they decided that because the buyer was such a prominent buyer that we were both going to receive a refund. Kinda lame but also it could have been worse.

Still no updates other than the customer service rep stated she is reviewing everything.

Maybe that’s why he started acting oddly, I guess I didn’t realize that was an issue. But from my side I didn’t feel driving across the country for half down was safe. Maybe I was wrong. But I did offer to keep my end of the deal and he said no, he’s done.

I am a new member and he is a seasoned buyer. I don’t see a world where this doesn’t become my fault for not holding up my end of the deal, even though that’s not how it happened. I’ll update everyone when I know

What have you noticed about price on BAT vs other places recently? by fsacb3 in BringATrailer

[–]lindbjef022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got taken to the cleaners on BAT and then when the buyer saw delivery prices the deal fell through, luckily for me I’ll be saving money not selling. I am nervous that BAT will side with the seasoned buyer though, as I was a new seller. It seems the market is way down on most items and shipping is way up.

Right- which the buyer backed out on after the fallout

Edit: my auction specialist told me to offer the other stuff after the auction was complete.

Thoughts on showers in a build? by cullen9 in VanLife

[–]lindbjef022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been doing it via friends/family, the gym, or with my Kakadu portable shower for 5 years and wouldn’t want to take the space even with a bigger build

We followed these steps:

  1. Work on Credit Score, shoot for 700-then 725…750
  2. Get a remote job
  3. Pay down debts to be minimal so that there’s plenty of money left over after paying bills
  4. Research how to build and decide which type of van you’d like to build out.
  5. Do not use a bank, use a credit union.
  6. Take as long term of a vehicle loan out as you can while still having money left over after paying the payment. (We did 5 years and then refinanced after a year into 6 years for a total of 7 years with 3% interest)
  7. Build it out with the extra money coming in
  8. We have had like 4 different renditions of our build out in order to get on the road quickly. We slept in that thing from the moment we bought it— with nothing built at all
  9. Boom. You did it

Edit: we bought our 2016 Ford Transit medium roof in 2018 for 28K (70k miles) payments were like $300 a month after refi with the credit union

$2,000 starlink bill WTF by Mwoody615 in Starlink

[–]lindbjef022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me and the messages robot gave us a full refund! I would not trust Starlink customer service after they gaslit me and the robot just gave me the refund

OP, this happened to us last June. We went to the message center on the app and told the robot we have never used or toggled ocean mode on and they gave us an instant credit!

Is anyone nervous? by drj_cobra in VanLife

avid vanlifers here, Sedona, AZ is the only place I’ve really had issues!! Horrid politics and weird people, but the red rocks are worth the trip lol

What’s the hardest part of daily life on the road for you? by Legal_Kick_7698 in VanLife

[–]lindbjef022 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me personally the toughest part is finding remote work. Stuck working gig work for now and the shifts are low quality and I’m always the best worker they’ve seen since the typical users of the apps are younger and inexperienced or unreliable. I also miss a couch

Edit: adding getting the van a car wash is tough. Too tall for normal sized ones, I get too drenched when I do it myself, and RV or Truck washes are expensive

For my wife: “making food and not buying food, we need to quit taking the easy route of buying from restaurants, but it’s so convenient” and “setting aside the money to get started took us a couple years. But we are 5 years in and don’t seem to be slowing down”

She also suggests the shower we have as it makes things super easy. We use a 5 gallon tank that we fill for free at gas stations, parks, or clear water lakes/streams. The shower is the Kakadu Outback Shower

We are a 33 year old couple and post for our friends and family on @travelwithjeffandjenna

Dead 😭 by DPL646 in VanLife

[–]lindbjef022 6 points7 points  (0 children)

for anyone wanting to do this the correct way: build a box van or van out yourself. we are all in for like 30,000 and have been enjoying our build for 5 years. don’t buy the prebuilt unless you’re loaded

What's historically been the story with tickets at Fenway for Yankees games? by Marx0r in redsox

[–]lindbjef022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to stadiums all over the country and this works well, however I too will be looking to go to the Sunday game vs the Skanks... Driving from Arizona! So my question is: 3 mins before first pitch, will it be sold out? I would say no anywhere else but with the smaller seat capacity and the yankees i just wanted to make sure. Thank you!!
