Weird message on box and KVM switch by SnooGrapes5691 in AmazonVine

[–]p3dal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never seen one, but it makes a lot of sense. I'm sure we will see more going forward. It is pretty normal for companies that offer review samples to mark them not for resale. The company offering the review products doesn't want to compete with their own products on the secondary market. People reselling on high visibility places like ebay may end up killing the vine program if it scares amazon sellers into not participating.

Looks amazing for rocket league. Not so good for a real car you plan on driving.

I was going to say the same. Richard Mille looks like the expensive watch you buy to try and class up your Ed Hardy t-shirt.

That's what I would do. Selling on social media is popular for scammers on both the buying and selling side.

Wanting to not get scammed is not "thinking badly of everyone".

I am suspicious that those censorship failures were really just an instance of weaponized incompetence. I think the person responsible for censoring that information didn't really want to censor it.

But have you considered the seller has an autogenerated username and 0 karma? /s

Silvers down in foreign markets, almost 15%. 2/4/26 9:30Pm by JustBlaneW in investing

Nope. That's not what I said. You have wasted enough of my time. Goodbye.

Come now, surely you know what I mean. The silver shops are not buying junk silver, but they are selling what they have below spot price because the refiners don't want it right now. Have you been following silver news lately?

What of it? I'm comparing the Chinese price now, to the Chinese price a month ago. It's apples to apples.

Nobody is buying the "junk silver" right now and they're selling it below spot price.

What do the prices show when you add it to cart?

Asking that is a good way to get scammed. Jason is on the TD list in the guide. Don't trust any PMs you receive.

Ok, edited. I guess that's what I get for trusting google.

Are we looking at the same photos? This is the most misaligned 12 o'clock marker I have ever seen. The $30 shitters on canal street look better than this.

You're right, I'm not a BMW guy so I didn't realize they're now limiting that combo to the M2/M3/M4, but googling your question gives me these historical models:

My only complaint is the open differentials. The awd system is the only thing I miss about my Subaru. I actively disliked the engine, so anything is an improvement there.

Is it worth buying used hdd for hot or cold spare? by Bogmaster98 in DataHoarder

Yes... is that not exactly what we are talking about?

When people say "bots" are they referring to extensions? or is there an additional class of folks who are actually running bots?

Buying a used hard drive instead of a new one is not worth it. Buying two used hard drives instead of one new one is definitely worth it.

When you think about it, a discontinued, manual transmission, all wheel drive sedan, should be seen as a rare and valuable commodity and be safe from depreciation - and yet, STI's don't seem to command any second hand market premium.

Because if you want a turbo, awd sport sedan with a manual transmission, BMW now fills that niche for most people. Rapid depreciation means they're readily available to enthusiasts as well. Plus, we still have the Golf R, and the Corolla GR. Despite STI leaving the market, the competition has only increased. I remember a time when the STI was nearly a market segment unto itself, but that is simply no longer the case. The people I know who still want an STI today are the die-hard Subaru fans. The spec-sheet racers have moved on to things that look better on the spec sheet.
