    @serpentza, I usually have no problems shopping online. But sometimes… “Make me irritate at the mere mention of eBay” (I’m sorry. I’ll go stand in the corner.)

    Alas, the actuator assembly is not the issue, so I burned $110 on an A/B test. Arrogant POS who just had to buy the part on eBay before doing a fuller investigation. I've at least confirmed that it's getting power and responds to/communicates with the door release and the instrument cluster. Of course, my multimeter is not at home right now. Womp womp. Wiring seems fine and harness in frame is secure on eye test. My friend TechGPT and I have determined it's probably just damaged wiring in the accordion boot between door and roof. Could be a BCM glitch, but it can't be failing as all the other door locks are functional and responsive. Out of time today. Try again later with multimeter in tow. I know there are people dying right now in the world, but this is very important that I come out ahead on this versus dealer repair cost. Thank you for attending my TED car talk.

    @Kelz_Realist @Wizarab10 If your problem is leg issue then you have little problem that money can solve. Order for your car suspension online from Ebay, alibaba etc. You will be getting your cars oem and it will last more.

    Very disappointed with @eBay for their lack of customer service on resolving issues. Holding $3,200 of my money, and no one will explain why my account is restricted, been selling on their platform 17 years. Per Google this is happening to others as well. Embarrassing

    If you're struggling to afford a good computer or are frustrated with all these Mac minis costing way too much money. My hack of the day is to buy an old M1 laptop on eBay or Facebook Marketplace with a broken screen. I'm picking up really nice MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs between $200 and $300 where the screen is damaged somehow. Go to Goodwill and buy a cheap external monitor, and you have world-class hardware, super cheap. If you're someone that works on a lot of different projects, maybe you're a consultant. I found it very useful to just spin up a new computer per project. Then use screen sharing. If you use screen sharing, you don't even need the cheap monitor from Goodwill. If you want to optimize for performance, I'd look for an old MacBook Pro vs a MacBook Air. The fan can really make a difference if you're doing high CPU tasks.

    Reselling discontinued products has been my bread and butter for years. Here's how it works: When a product gets discontinued, you become one of the last places someone can get it. Maybe it's not sold near them anymore. Maybe they don't have time to look for it. They'd rather click a few buttons and have it show up at their door That's where you come in. Finding these products is easier than you'd think. Head to your local pharmacy, grocery, or hardware store and look for: - discontinued price tags - clearance sections - dust on the products Stores with slow inventory turnover will have stuff sitting for months, sometimes years. If you don't have those kinds of stores near you, check discount stores, closeout chains, and bargain outlets. These buy closeout inventory in bulk so when a brand discontinues a product, this is often where it ends up, before most people realize it's gone To build a list of what to hunt for, search "discontinued" plus any category on eBay. For example, "discontinued detergent" pulls up every detergent that's selling. Do this across all categories and you'll never run out of leads. Before you buy a bunch of units, confirm the discontinuation. Go straight to the brand's website, since some list discontinued items or note it right on the product page. Another tip is to read the reviews. When something gets discontinued and hard to find, customers will be complaining about it. One last thing to keep in mind: discontinued doesn't always mean gone forever. Sometimes it's temporary and sometimes demand brings it back Happy hunting!

    @PaxCybertron I wasn't too happy, either. After putting this up, I asked ChatGPT what the DHL charge usually is for a voyager and deluxe combined, and it said anywhere from $25 - $40. So, not terrible on the low end, and considerably less than what we'd pay on eBay on the high end

    @OldJimZimmer Daybreak Games owned the Star Wars Galexies MMO until their licensing ran out with Lucas back on 2011. There was an emulator of it that would make 10-30k/mo for a few years after the fact. It could easily be relaunched now. I played Stargate Worlds MMO beta, but that ended up getting cancelled during production. With legalized RMT through ebay and AI, youll see these types of games come back, because they typically cost like $30-$100milly to create. Curt Schilling tried to make one, but funding was a major major issue. Plus he is iliterate, so it didnt quite work out. Golden Age of MMOs will come back, god willing.

    @Derceto00 @2_Old_4_Gaming @RetroGamer_Daz Why do y'all say this? Where is it a rental? Please show me where a game has been completely removed after a certain amount of time from someone's library? It's NOT a rental! You are buying a license! That license CAN be revoked but so can your driver's license. Does that mean you're only renting your car if you break the law and they take away your license to drive? No. You are the owner of that license along with the publishers that you acquired it from. That agreement WILL NOT BREAK as long as you don't break any of the TOS. even if they close down forever. You still get to keep your games. I'm sick of reading this rental nonsense because it's simply not true and not how this works. "but what about the 500 movies Sony took!" Movies are not games! Movies you get from a third party EXPLICITLY tells you that YOU DON'T OWN THIS! What you're buying is a license to view it from that third party as long as THEY have their license to carry that movie renewed. There's never a time you can show me in the EULA for games where they can just arbitrarily take games from you and that you're only renting them. It doesn't state that. Movies have licensing agreements in place with platforms like Fandango, Apple Store, Google Play Store, Movies Anywhere, etc, where they can carry those movies on your behalf as you buy the license to watch them on those platforms. The EULA explicitly says this to you. The ONLY way a digital movie is yours forever is if you bought it first hand from the studios that made it. That means when you purchase a movie from their own website, the DVDs and Blu-ray codes that come in the boxes, or they gave you a code to use directly. You still watch them on those platforms but if one of those platforms ever shut down? They are obligated to move your collection over to another "locker", which is what they call it in the EULA, OR give you the ability to download the movies so you keep them forever. They HAVE to do this as it is in their EULA and that's what they agreed on with you as the purchaser. Games? They don't have limited licenses like that, typically. You'll run into a licensed game from Marvel or DC or Star Trek, Nickelodeon, or licensed music, etc, and those games have limited licenses physically and digitally. That's why a lot of those games get delisted or they have to remove the music just like GTA had to do a few years ago. Delisting doesn't mean you can't play what you've bought though. That's what I need people to understand. Delisting is not de-platforming. It's not the same thing. I have purchased delisted games since 2017 and they are still ready for me to play digitally. You keep them. They just aren't available for purchase for anyone else that may want them digitally. Physical games get delisted and moved from store shelves all the time too. Deadpool is a great example of a game no longer in regular circulation and you can only really find it used for high prices on eBay. Effectively that game is out of commission because of that physically. Digitally? You can still play it if you bought it before they delisted it. It's not gone forever. It's there. I hope you really take time out to read all of this and try to understand that You've been misinformed on this stuff and that digital gaming is not what you've been thinking. There's some drawbacks just like there will be with physical games. The true issue needing addressing with all digital platform is the refund, trade, and selling policies that Sony has to change up. They will have to change them to match Steam because that's their direct competition now. I do think they will announce changes to those soon.

    Gary Vee explains why 3 to 4 NFT projects will end up being the Jackson Pollocks of the 2021 era "When internet stocks came out in 2000, everything was worth a trillion dollars even if the company did zero revenue. Then April 2000 hit and all of it went to zero, companies going from $500 a share to three cents. But the handful that were legit, Google, Amazon, Ebay, Paypal, got dragged down to $3 and then went on to become some of the biggest companies in the world." "NFTs are the exact same thing. Everyone got confused and thought all of them were worth a million dollars, when most are worth nothing, just like trading cards. But there will be 3 to 4 to 7 projects from that 2021 era that in 20 years are the Jackson Pollocks and the Andy Warhols. The only question is whether you're good enough to pick the winners."

  • resellerrowe
    Reseller Rowe (@resellerrowe) reported

    My eBay sales have been slow lately…but it’s my fault. That might sound strange to say, but when you take full responsibility, you also give yourself the opportunity to improve. Instead of blaming the algorithm or saying people just aren’t buying, I looked in the mirror. I listed more items, went back and improved some old listings, adjusted prices on a few things, and simply got back in the game. Funny how that works. I don’t care what you sell or where you sell it. If you consistently take more action, you’ll create more opportunities to make sales. Too many people spend their time waiting for buyers instead of giving buyers more chances to find them. The lesson? When sales slow down, don’t look for excuses. Look for work. More listings, Better listings, Better pricing, More consistency. That’s usually where the answer is

    @Kappaemme1926 Had the same thing. The CPU throttles because there's because there is no fan. Mac minis seem way overpriced right now. And they're hard to get. I started buying MacBook Pros off eBay with broken screens. More or less a Mac mini with a UPS. and 2/3 cheaper. My experiments suggest there's not much difference between a Mac mini and a MacBook Pro in terms of performance if they have the same chip.
