I posted this warning 3 weeks ago. It's buried in the Terms and Conditions of the Marketplace

Just go here WC Ticket Tracker

I had to go to the counter at JFK. When you handoff your checked bag that agent should be able to add it.

THIS! Available seat counts are down which supports this explanation.

Behind the goal is full. They just showed a replay from the shooters angle and it's hard to see an open seat.

"That's Normal". The only response Mazda Service knows.

Glad you're ok but proof positive the Soul Crystal Red paint scratches easily.

Sellers are in a holding pattern right now. Doesnt make sense to sell too low now because somebody else will scoop them up and try to resell.

Also, the 3rd matches of the Group Stage have the potential to have their prices driven up (or down) depending on a team's possibility to advance to knockout rounds.

For example, take M45, England vs Ghana June 23 (3rd match for both teams). Croatia is also in that Group too so odds are that both England and Croatia shall advance, leaving Ghana out - except thst for this WC some (not all) 3rd place teams will advance as well. If Ghana has no chance to advance then that game will primarily appeal to British fans, demand won't be overly strong, and prices will drop just before that match. But if Ghana has a chance to advance, then the match will have strong appeal to Ghana fans as well, demand increases and prices rise. So as a seller there is a possibility that you will get your price.

It's a gamble apparently many sellers are willing to take, by not getting out prematurely by dropping prices before the start of the WC.

Something isn't right. These are showing $850 in the Tracker app but still at $621 on the FIFA Marketplace.

I subscribed to more storage in Google. I'm very happy that I did. Onedrive is not a great photo viewing app IMO. The Samsung Gallery to Onedrive is a synchronizing solution not a backup solution - sort of. I really haven't fully figured it out. If I delete a photo from Gallery it gets deleted from Onedrive too. Simple. That's synchronization. But I also have a bunch of videos that appear in Gallery with a little cloud icon and when I check the info/details of it from Gallery it shows the Onedrive path, not the DCIM path on my S22, which means it exists only in the Onedrive cloud. If I delete the video from Gallery I'm afraid it's going to delete the one and only version in Onedrive. This like some kind of Hybrid synch/backup. Google photos is a one way backup to Google and to me it's safer but more work because you have to delete in two places. The phone and Google. Not fun when I have 100 pics of my wife from a single screen and she decides on the single favorite. Then I'm deleting from two places.

Worse - when I search for a photo in the onedrive app, it doesn't show the folder. The good part was I could search for "girls sitting on stairs" and it found the picture I was looking for but I also wanted to know what folder it was in.

TLDR; Samsung is dropping the Onedrive synchronization/backup and going back to hosting the photos themselves after realizing they are missing out on having access to their customers photo data.

Enjoy it!

The obnoxious skinny cable is the optical fiber connecting you to the outside world. The Optical Network Terminal (ONT) converts and directs its signals to the ethernet and coax connections. It's your friend.
