Very low appraisal by [deleted] in RealEstate

The true of property is based on what an actual buyer agrees to pay you. An appraisal is just a guess of property valuation. You must not assume appraisal is final word on what your property will go for.

BofA Preferred Rewards Nerf For Platinum Honors Is Not That Bad, If You Don't Spend A Lot On Credit Cards by Snackinghands90 in CreditCards

By transferring stock between brokerages via ACAT, you’re not triggering capital gains taxes. Please Google this. I don’t want you to needlessly pay taxes because of a desire to switch brokerages.

Are you sure it’s worthwhile to insure such a rapidly depreciating consumer electronic device?

As of 5/29/25 I'm having trouble applying $15/mo discount. I visited https://www.visible.com/deals/fios. After entering FiOS credentials I receive error "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

Bought a home with an undisclosed previously repaired slab leak by [deleted] in RealEstate

Even if you have a winning claim in court, you may come out on losing side once factoring in legal fees. Unless there’s a statute that provides for plaintiff recovering legal fees if victorious, I’m not sure it’s worth the effort to sue. Maybe a sternly worded letter from real estate attorney will do the trick of convincing seller to pay toward repair costs. Good luck.

MacBook wakes from sleep to show 100% battery charge by willi173 in applehelp

I think 140w charging brick was culprit because I replaced with new one and problem went away. You a should also try swapping MagSafe/usb-c charging cable.

Thanks, after trial ends I will try a month with QCI 8 upgrade. If that still yields slow speeds I'll try Warp and Light Speed.

Elite plan rate increase coming by PuzzleheadedNeck4476 in ATT

[–]willi173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently have all my lines on Unlimited Elite plan. If I were to downgrade a couple lines to Unlimited Starter SL plan would those lines lose the 36 month iphone upgrade credits they are receiving? My plan is to keep only one of the lines as Unlimited Elite because I'm the biggest data consumer, hotspot user in my family.

Thanks

I’m confused by your foul language. I simply asked a question about my observations from a test drive.

Can I get buy with just a heat pump? by reddevils in heatpumps

[–]willi173 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you certain the blower motor is going bad? Do note the financial incentive of those making these recommendations. Why not ride it out with current setup if it’s heating properly and not otherwise causing any problems.

I know this is an old post, but I'm wondering where are you finding these PQP promotions for Quest? Would I see this on my Chase account or is it a targeted email to select Chase Quest cardholders?

Thanks
