  Buy Right, Avoid Fireworks Scams Fireworks sales scams often spike around the Fourth of July, featuring fake websites, illegitimate online marketplaces (Facebook, Craigslist), and fraudulent "clearance" deals. Scammers often demand cryptocurrency, gift cards, or apps like Zelle/Venmo, providing no contact info. Inspect products for fake "safe and sane" seals and avoid unlicensed roadside stands. Common Fireworks Sales Scams: Fake Social Media: Scammers create social media posts advertising cheap fireworks or "after-holiday" clearances, specifically stealing payment information. Illegal Online Marketplaces: Fraudulent sellers operate on platforms like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, often selling illegal or nonexistent products. Misleading Product Packaging: Products may be disguised, such as canister shells packaged to look like different, or sometimes, lower-quality items. Counterfeit "Safe and Sane" Seals: Sellers may use fake, non-genuine safety seals, particularly on fireworks that are illegal in certain areas. Unlicensed Roadside Stands: Temporary, un-permitted stands may sell illegal or dangerous products. How to Avoid Scams Verify Sellers: Only buy from reputable, known fireworks retailers. Secure Payment Methods: Avoid paying with cryptocurrency, gift cards, or apps like Zelle, which offer little protection for fraud. Check Local Laws: Ensure the fireworks are legal in your area; illegal fireworks are often sold via illicit channels. Avoid "Too Good To Be True" Deals: Extremely low prices or "exclusive" sales are red flags. Inspect Before Buying: Check for legitimate packaging and seals. Further insight into potential scams associated with larger vendors, consumers have reported issues with high minimum spend requirements for discounts as under covered by Ed Haury of United Fireworks.

  This is the issue I have with the "just buy physical crowd" Why spend literally thousands of dollars to make your screen look like something you could get for free off Craigslist? I've had an early 2000's Trinitron sitting in my garage the past 10 years for this very reason.

  @algae_fish You might have trouble finding an rx8 but 6s you can find sometimes at auctions outside of Craigslist.

  @SSB_Rick Quit playing video games, quit drinking. How I started making money, that would work today. Found couches on facebook/craigslist for sale. Negotiated them down to almost free. Took them home, cleaned them, took good pictures and posted them for sale with free delivery = 3,500 a month. Yard sales on weekends. Got there at open. Use ebay, click the search for "recently sold items". Look for old video games, sports stuff, action figures... anything. Search for the real value. Offer pennies on the dollar =2,500 month Flipping items I found at Ross, Costco, Walmart, Berlington, Target etc. Look for clearance items. Same as the yard sale. Flipped those items for about =1,000 a month Get an amazon sellers account. Look for items at stores to resell on amazon. Bought Millenial monopoly for 10 dollars at walmart, sold it for 50 on amazon. Rinse and repeat. This replaced the flipping items above, jumped to 5000 a month. Quit wasting your time. The money is sitting there, go work your *** off. **** your video games. **** your alcohol. **** X. **** sports. **** everyone except your kids. You got this man. You can dm me if you want specifics with any of this.

  @cSchaez I think the issue is that my car genuinely does run fine, but if you look at all the listings around it on autotrader / craigslist a lot of them are actual scams or don't work. So people just understandably avoid the whole category

  @traff1c_junky yeah any year CRV is sought after, especially ones that are much easier to fix like your ‘98. I’d post it on facebook marketplace, Craigslist etc and get way more money than Carfax trade in

  if you really study zuck you’d realise that zuck’s superpower was never seeing the future. it was reacting to the present faster than anyone else. stories from snapchat, reels from tiktok, marketplace from craigslist, ai from openai. every single win was a fast copy executed at a scale nobody could match. the metaverse was the first time he tried to lead instead of follow. $80 billion later he’s shutting it down & going back to doing what he’s always done - chasing whoever’s winning right now. which at the moment is ai.

  @DabsMalone I used to pick up broken electronics during college and sell the functional parts on eBay and Craigslist and taking apart those massive printers was the most painful experience ever. Very heavy, complex, no demand for replacement parts. Learned my lesson and switched to TVs and never looked back lol.

  I full on never bought another Xbox console after my RROD. I stayed with PlayStation. It was such a common issue there was people on Craigslist offering to buy broken ones and trying to refurb them.

  @Jome253 I had the lite but didn’t keep it long and sold it off so no big catalog I have a 50min-1hr train ride to work so handheld is ideal, can also use during shift.. Money isn’t issue but I’ve looked on Craigslist for value but most are too used up so leaning brand new.
