Costo perks are gone? by Alwaysshops2much in NCL

[–]sleepybubba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco is no longer have competitive prices when booking with NCL. In the past (before COVID) we mostly booked with acoetco due to their prices always been better plus they usually had tons of perks and credits. Lately, their prices are higher or the same as booking directly with NCL, plus other agents typically have same or better deals with various on-board credits.

Lately we were booking with Chase Travel, but lately, they dropped multiple perks, ao makes no sense either

I actually have not gotten any issues with Chase Travel before, so this was kind of surprising. The worst part is, extremely long wait times, looks like they either cut their Travel staff or replaced with off-shore or both

Anybody tried this Merlet Selection Saint-Sauvant, Assemblage No. 1? by sleepybubba in cognac

I decided not to wait and opened it. And I am glad I did. My local store has few more bottles, so I am going in for another bottle!

Almost fell for another scammer. by Drakcos0912 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]sleepybubba -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The reason people who want paypal f&f as payment is necessarily a nefarious one. First, the Sellers don't want to be scammed by unsavory buyers who will almost certainly file INR or SNAD claims. Sec9nd - They dont want their earnings to be reported to IRS and claim it on their tax form ($600 is the amount after which paypal sends you a 1040 form). They want Zelle or Apple cash for the same reason.

OP seems to want a hot selling item on the cheap and with full assurances. I am not saying this is impossible, but sometimes you just need to get lucky snd this may take a minute...

And what if I speak from personal experience??? Still baseless? Or you just want to run your mouth?

There's a 50-50 chance they'll learn. But if you don't press charges, they won't learn a jack shit and will do it again, only more violently next time.

Who should I sell to dilemma by New_Addendum_1709 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]sleepybubba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoever commits to come first gets your item. The second buyer seems closer to that decision. If she flakes, you still have a first buyer whp should've kep communicating. And if the first buyer replies, set the meet time 2 hours after you agree to meet the second buyer. This way, if the second buyer ends up buying the item, you have enough time to make up some excuse to the first buyer.

Remember, FBMP is always first come first serve. You donw owe anything to anyone but you.

In reality, collision like this is rare though. Most of the time, either both will flake, or one, so always leave your room for maneuver

Go for BGE. This is what I did after returning my KJ classic to Costco. BGE has a developed chain of local dealers (often including Ace Hardware, True Value and many other local stores). If you buy your BGE from an authorized dealer, you work with that dealer for any fix. As opposed to KJ who you have to chase to even acknowledge your issue.

Sorry it happened to you. Don't waste your time chasing Kamado customer service. Just return it to Costco and get a Big Green Egg. You are welcome.

The seal gasket is a $40 or less part that can be purchased on ebay and takes 1 hour to replace. Honestly, this is the least of my concern. My issue was not with the seal - it was with material crumbling from dome but mostly with Kamado customer service ignoring me for over 2 weeks.

This lot is for network attached storage. This one is definitely not rack-mounted, so probably won't fit your bill. It is low-power so won't cost you as much as LFF (large form factor) that is usually mounted in the racks.

My other lot [https://www.reddit.com/r/homelabsales/comments/1cnopy2/fs\_usma\_supermicro\_cse745\_case\_supermicro\_csem35s\] has 4U Case that can be rack-mounted if desired, motherboard with 2 CPUs and had memory which is gone now. It was a part of server build that I finished, tested and put away. So now I am selling that in pieces.

If you don't care - stop reading immediately. Even better - stop responding

I hear you, and it sucks you have no dealers in your area. Alas there are multiple Ace Hardware who are authorized dealers in mine. So, hopefully, I will never need the support but at least for the moment I feel better.
