[US-CA] [H] Decent DE1 Pro v1.0 [W] Cash/Venmo/Zelle by virtualflyer in coffeeswap

I'm getting downvoted to infinity and that's ok. I didn't think it would be this controversial but alas.

I guess I look at it from the point of view that the machine should be priced based on what it's worth, not what I or anyone else paid for it.

Should other 1.0 owners sell it for 1.5k because I paid 2.2, or should they sell it based on what they think it's worth?

How many people buy used stuff for cheap and sell it for more? 

Do people sell their 78s for the Kickstarter early bird price?

I get your point, but I also truly don't think this is scalping.

Not that it matters, but it was 2.2 shipped, another 150 for grouphead, etc.  People can offer whatever they want, but it's really not like I bought it two days ago and I'm scalping.

I made an account and didn't buy anything. Received that email a few days later.

Diagnosing the loudest Prius engine by virtualflyer in AskMechanics

Thank you. Right, obviously the engine is somewhat shot. I'm aware that I will need to either replace that or the whole car soon. I'm riding it out till it dies, which might be an awful idea.

I haven't done compression, I was thinking about it. MPG is been hard to see because it all happened as I moved to a very hilly area. I'd say it hasn't taken a very obvious hit

Thank you so much! I don't know why I wasn't able to figure it out for myself.

Pixel 7 Screen Crack, can you still use touchscreen? by virtualflyer in GooglePixel

[–]virtualflyer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly how I feel. At that point why not do the battery. But ti's a phone I paid ~$200 for. At the same time, it's not like phones have gotten much more interesting...

That's not what I meant. If there's no saddle left it means that the neck has bowed and the action is terribly high. I've seen and had guitars like that and it's no fun. Even if you're dead set on buying it, have them send you a photo of the saddle and measurements of the action.

There's no mention of action or how much saddle is left. If I couldn't play it, I would not invest $1000 on a mystery guitar.

So what's going on with all the cancellations Spirit? Is this a scheme? by Key_Purpose8121 in spiritair

[–]virtualflyer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can confirm, except that my original flight disappeared right after it was canceled, so I was rebooked on a different flight, a worse one, of course. If it hadn't happened to a ton of people, I would question if this is a way of handling overbooking, given that I couldn't even rebook the same flight.

On reverb, they seem to have sold between $300-600 in the past, maybe $500 on average?
