They're probably darn similar, but maybe not identical? Or maybe it's just special SKUs like happens with Walmart to avoid price matching...

Also a third party seller. I get what you are saying but I would never buy a SD card from a third party seller and even then people say it's not the best idea via amazon as they claim that fake ones can get into the "amazon pool" by returning fakes.

Listen mother####ers, if a vehicle is being sold for one months gross salary, it’s a take it or leave it proposition. I don’t care about your family’s circumstances or your concerns about marks on the hood or what your aunties cake recipe says for maintenance.

Are you wanting to buy the car, or not? 10000 inquiries in 2 minutes, and y’all want torque values from the last time it had its superconductors aligned to mercury’s travels.

Haha, try working at a car dealership.

I'll still sell decent cheap cars on a full disclosure 'buyer beware' waiver. You know, like a 15 year old Corolla or CR-V with under 200,000 kms, or older trucks that still have some life in them destined to be retired as back alley truck that haul lumber, go to the dump etc....

I price them to sell, usually a lot cheaper than the private market. More times than I can count I'll will have someone here looking at the thing, another person waiting in the lounge, and another guy on the phone offering full price if the other two pass on it.

Customer: "You're asking 10k.... I'll give ya 5k"

"Sorry, someone else is waiting to look at it, and 15 people have called about it today."

"So what's your best price?"

"It's $10k, it's the cheapest one like it out there. Someone else will pay that for it."

"But I was here first, what's the best price you can give me?"

"Sir, I have someone willing to pay my asking price if you walk away, they are sitting in the customer lounge waiting if you pass, why would I sell it to you cheaper than them?"

"But I was here first.... I'll give you $5500... final offer."

That scenario plays out 10-20 times a year, and it's baffling to me that people think I will sell it to them cheaper simply because they are here first, and they KNOW it's a total bargain as it is.

Then of course, we are the bad guy, for not giving them 50% off, and selling it to someone actually willing to pay a fair price.

I think people get too emotionally invested in low balling and dealing.

The person asking for the deal is just behaving in a manner that is effective. Put pressure on you to take the bird in hand and try use their knowledge advantage of the value over an unwitting person who does not know the value of their item.

When you know the value of the item you obviously are not the target this person is trying to buy from.

Look, it's only $50, regular $150! What a deal!

https://www.amazon.ca/SanDisk-256GB-...s%2C148&sr=8-6

... It's $35, regular $40.

What is this garbage?

Those aren't the same. The Amazon one is Ultra, while the BestBuy one is Ultra Plus. The latter has faster read/write speeds.

And while the $150 is obviously obscenely inflated relative to what it's actually worth, that is indeed the regular price at London Drugs. So it probably is still the list price in Canada.

Heh, first time ever this happened to me tonight. 4 parties show up within 5 minutes of each other. Like....uhhhh...now I feel bad for those who didn’t even get to drive it. I even went inside for a few wholly expecting them to have all have agreed to trash talk it and all lowball me.

Couldn’t even plan it that well man. God bless anyone in the market for a cheap car right now..if the 150 inquiries in 3 hours is any indication, it’s a #### of position to be in.

So if I have an 8 year old mazda 3 now is as good a time as any to sell it and cash in?

Only if you don’t need the vehicle.

Why the #### do we keep letting violent criminals share our world. POS unprovoked attack two years ago, and now an innocent man is dead, attacked inside his apartment for no reason.

Mental health or whatever be damned. Violently attack someone randomly, you don’t get to come out and play, lest you brutally kill someone one day.

Yes.

I send absolute dumpster fire cars to the auction right now, and get more than I could even fathom a couple years back. A car that sold at the auction for $500-1000 back then, is pulling $3-4k right now.

A good, solid sub-10k car right now is gold. I have a list of about 50 people looking for one.

The “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore” thread would be a good place for those news stories about murders and stuff.

[RichieRich]

Gear Grindr - workplace toilets with quick auto flush that do the flush part before you’ve even had a chance to start the wipe cos they only detect the forward lean. Then it’s a 50/50 whether that TP will make it down that flush or needs an additional flush. Of course if you need a 2nd (or more) wipe then it’s still a race with the auto flush.
About the only thing worse is the auto towel dispenser that gives about 3” length of thin paper towel to dry your hands with.
Yeah yeah first world Problems.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

[Looch City]

That's why I always put a some tp over the auto flush sensor. Sometimes double layer cause that #### is too see through haha.

Is there an optimal way to wipe? I've heard many surprisingly strong opinions on the matter lol.

Wipe till white is all you need here.

This thread is going the way of 'dogs are gross', I see.

What gear was ground in this instance?

I still can’t believe that’s an actual thing. Standing up? Wtf? I refuse to believe it’s as widespread as those threads suggest and am certain it was just a bunch of people ####ing around.

Imagine the smell.
