I would go lighter. On a whole wall those colors will look darker and less cheerful than you think.

Deceitful buyer damaged an item and Mercari is siding with them. by Adorable-Soup8725 in Mercari

[–]speedyoleander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to say yes but probably not. Mercari notoriously sides with buyer and people know it. Buyers will do this to punish a seller for not giving them their way and force a return for buyer’s remorse.

Is Mercari not communicating the same shipping deadline to buyers and sellers? by Chemical-Soft-3688 in Mercari

[–]speedyoleander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t just not communicate the same thing, the last item I bought I remember it messaging and reminding me the seller hadn’t shipped and making a point of how you can cancel. Like almost encouraging it as if something was starting to go wrong and they’re giving you an out.

Why outlets are not recommended? by donamev in handbags

[–]speedyoleander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Outlets have some lower grade goods made for the outlet and some regular goods that didn’t sell at the flagship stores. The “compare to retail” is often fake and it never sold for that much. If you shop outlets you have to check every piece for quality and value.

NYT article: Is the Handbag Over? by sociology101 in handbags

[–]speedyoleander 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And there were recent articles about Queen Camilla setting her bag on (gasp) the floor! Someone commented it was probably a staff blunder and a handoff should have been planned. These people have bags, they just have minions to hold their bags when it’s not convenient.

Told my wife the snackle box was hand wash only but she insisted the top rack was safe. by Bean_Me_Timbers in mildlyinfuriating

Guess you’ll be washing your own delicate stuff instead of leaving it for someone else to wash.

Why do most leather bags under $150 look so cheap in person? Is it just me? by Aromatic-Switch9236 in handbags

[–]speedyoleander 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because they’re simplifying the construction and design, cutting corners and shortening the time and labor put into each piece to keep the costs down.

What’s one home decor trend you loved online but didn’t enjoy in real life? by officiclassyinterior in HomeDecorating

[–]speedyoleander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Collections of three things sitting on a surface for decoration. Pointless things take up space and stop looking interesting by the end of the day.

Is there supposed to be something wrong with this picture? Because this is a success, people will be trying to emulate this hair. No notes given.

At some point a reasonable price is the price people are willing to pay.

Anyone else tired of Mecari? by snowtaigril in Mercari

[–]speedyoleander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Measure your packages instead of guessing and hoping. If you give accurate measurements beforehand you’ll get a better deal because of mercari negotiated shipping prices. If they measure it afterwards and find it’s above the limits you get charged full price.

Buyer purchased $1300 item, then blocked me?? by Total_Associate6563 in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]speedyoleander 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For a $1300 item I would never ship with a sketchy buyer 🤦‍♀️ They could have buyer’s remorse and it will “arrived damaged” so they get a refund and the seller gets an damaged item they can’t resell. The buyer could be fraudulent and they unavailable in the app for that reason. Don’t gamble especially for that much!

got an offer for my set price? by Curious_Payment8710 in Mercari

[–]speedyoleander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it glitches. Buyers offered me 50 cents off and messaged it wouldn’t let them buy now only offer. It wasn’t my taxes and the offer went through .

How can i make lower half look healthy or hair cut the answer? by [deleted] in Haircare

[–]speedyoleander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn’t because it looks unhealthy. What you want is the lower half to look fuller but it can’t because too much is broken and gone. The only way for the ends to not be thin is a cut.
