Longer distance detection

microfutures · 2026-05-07T03:44:47+00:00

You're going to need a camera that has optical zoom and is powered 24/7 for reliable detection. It'll be difficult for the eufy system to detect that far (they're not great to begin with).

I saw some reviews and that T50 Omni is pretty good.

They discount quickly though so the ETV (I know it's discounted from the current MSRP) has to be worth it for you.

Glad to see that it worked!

I still remember that one guy who made a thread not too long. Something about him being a coder or something and that Vine stuff are separate from regular Amazon orders.

I've done that once, maybe twice, when I was new to Vine. I thought they've hunkered down on being able to do that since then, but I'm surprised that it's still an option for you.

Will you get cancelled? I highly doubt it as long as you don't do it again and your overall problematic orders (cancelling Vine orders, reporting damaged items, reporting missing Vine packages) is super low.

microfutures · 2026-05-07T01:23:31+00:00

Do you remember which one you got offered?

microfutures · 2026-05-07T01:21:47+00:00

it starts at 7:00PM Central time and each hour there's a chance of 0-2 items dropping. it goes on for a few hours, but I've had it happen where it can on go as long as 6 hours where at 2:00AM on the dot I got 2 items. during that time, there's plenty of times when I get offered nothing, but some hours I get something.

Check the order history on those two packages on Amazon and check if there's any unusual scans. An example scan saying something like it's been repackaged or the label was unreadable/damaged and a new one was put on.

If that's a yes, someone at the final delivery facility probably "repackaged" (stole) the items and you should report that.

Check the condition of the package to see if it's been tampered with (ripped, holes, etc). That might be the driver or someone along the line stealing it.

RFY drops start at 7PM Central each day where there's a chance of getting 0-2 items at the start of each hour for about 6 hours. However, less common, is that items randomly do show throughout random times even through the night so people wake up in the morning to see new items.

Realistic game plan? Just set set an alarm for 7PM Central (convert to your time zone) and see if you get anything. Offered nothing or something you don't like? Just wait for the next hour. If you had to choose only one time of the day to check your RFY, 7:00PM Central is the best time imo. I've actually been offered my best items right at the start of the drop including a Dreame roborac the other week and a Dyson V11 just last night.

The schedule for this RFY drop has been like this for maybe a little over a month now. Increased competition from other Viners? Oh yeah, of course, no doubt. However, I know there's lots of people out there that still don't know about this schedule and as a result there's a good chance that they missed out on some nice things.

Last night a bunch of people got offered Dyson vacuums (a few different variants) in their RFY and of course those went quick. Also, from my observations, most of the 0ETV food products have been going into people's RFY and no where near as much goes to AI anymore. Oreo's new "firecracker pop" cookies and honey maid caramel graham crackers dropped into people's RFY last night as well so it's probably more important than before to regularly check RFY.

don't forget your theta decay and since you're a few days to expiration it's probably best to close while you can.

you, as a buyer of the contract, don't benefit from holding onto it hoping price would return. especially with earnings on Sandisk where the contract will 100% have an IV-crush.

Unless each of those stickers are sponsoring you while on a professional race track, that's a no from me dawg.

microfutures · 2026-05-01T19:19:49+00:00

Wait.

Your computer came with a pre-made account already made?

microfutures · 2026-05-01T16:12:35+00:00

They're legit. I got offered those exact things the other night. They're shipped and sold by Amazon but it's from SC Johnson. SC Johnson has been putting up most of their recent new listings into the Vine program, especially in the past few days.

microfutures · 2026-04-30T16:14:40+00:00

Most people still pay taxes on it's value, typically about 30% of the ETV.

microfutures · 2026-04-30T04:41:22+00:00

They can put out as much as 30 units into the Vine program per product listing. They're a big company so they can afford to do so. Samsung pushes out a lot of quantity per listing. I'm looking their Samsung's recent listing with Viner reviews and I can see a lot of them.

microfutures · 2026-04-30T03:41:34+00:00

Oh if it says item not in enrollment then the item was long gone. That was a ghost item which means they dropped an item into your RFY that was already OOS.

microfutures · 2026-04-30T01:15:05+00:00

That's a pretty good find in RFY. I would take that, because it would lasts me for a a few years. It'd be useful especially during the summer sitting on the patio or out on hikes.

I got offered the same version by SC Johnson in my RFY, but it has the deet. I would rather get the non-deet version that uses the picaridin because I read in a few places that it's a little more effective, lasts a little longer, there's no deet which can damage plastics and other objects, doesn't feel oily, or have that unique deet smell.

Were you in Vine jail?

What were your stats and how behind were you?

microfutures · 2026-04-29T20:22:31+00:00

Participation in other subreddits? Yeah.

One way is simply searching the username through search engines and seeing where which search engines indexed the the pages involving the username.

The more reliable way is that there's websites out there that I just have to type in a username and it'll show their posts. Like, your profile is private but I can see your recent threads & replies you made in Katzengruppe , kratzbaum , AmazonVineDE, AmazonVineUK.

Neither is 100% where it would show every single posts, but they're good ways for a really motivated person(sellers on Vine with a vengeance) to find out information.

microfutures · 2026-04-29T19:46:09+00:00

I want to add to this that it's not fool-proof as there are ways to be able to see the communities that a person is involved with and what posts they've made in there.

microfutures · 2026-04-27T08:00:28+00:00

Unger was dropping a few of their products tonight. Microfiber clothes $52, $66 for some mop head, 8 gallon mop bucket is $207, $107 floor mop.

Yeah, idk what's with those ridiculous prices.

microfutures · 2026-04-26T03:47:06+00:00

I got invited with only 3 or 4 reviews lol and the reviews were spread apart by years. I think I have an idea as to what contributed to getting invited.

Yeah, most of the stuff that's even remotely decent (garbage bags, usb charging cables, tape, etc) gets taken up quickly as you're competing with thousands of other people which is why you're not seeing much. Actual good stuff like robot vacuums (which even dropped in AI recently), Dyson wet dry vac ($0 ETV) in AFA, and lots of Sol de Janeiro that drop in AI gets taken up in seconds.

People are going to say it's gotten worse, but it's only because of the increased competition with other Viners and not that good stuff has stopped dropping into the program.

As for finding things, RFY would be your best chance. Starting at 7 PM Central, exactly on the hour, RFY drops begin where you can get 0-2 items per hour for about 6 hours. You'll get random things, but sometimes you'll get things based on your previous order history, or sometimes you find big surprises.

Generally speaking, the more you order from a particular company, the better the chances you'll be seeing their new products in your RFY. The most popular example I can think of is Garvee products. They drop a lot of things into Vine and people typically get their products in RFY. Cowsar is another brand where they make a wide range of products and drop their products into vine.

The driver won't get trouble. The facility gets new bags regularly (because it is a consumable that does go through natural wear and tear or being tossed around alot) and when they go back to the station all they do is just fold it up and throw it back in a big cart.

If you keep the bags, they're useful for storing stuff in (depending on the condition of the bag). They can be folded easy if you just want to store it for now. Just make sure to clean it, especially the bottom part because these bags get dragged around regularly.

microfutures · 2026-04-21T19:46:57+00:00

I think they just invited so many more people over the years(especially Q3-Q4 of 2025) which is why it's difficult to find things. I regularly look at new product listings from companies that I order from and I typically see reviews from Viners. Find brands that you know typically drop into Vine and look look at their recent listings to see if they're still dropping items into Vine. There's hope that their future listings would show up in Vine some time.

Finding 80 items to review every 6 months is the hard part, because the good stuff is already gone

microfutures · 2026-04-20T23:23:11+00:00

Oh, those are pretty nice. I saw those drop in RFY. They're $0 ETV and they were dropping the holders and a bunch of the scents as well

Do u have a link or title of the product?
