I actually just negged an Ebay seller, and I don't do that lightly, I was shopping on Ebay to avoid feeding Bezos, paid $5 extra, and then the item arrived in Amazon bubblepack. The dude essentially pocketed my $5 and laughed at my attempt to resist...this fucking world man...
It's a race to the bottom imo and getting worse every day. I don't know when people will wake up and look to value more than just the transaction because if you still do then there's fuckers like this that come along and pee on your intentions.
I reuse Amazon packing materials when I ship ebay sales, maybe that seller does too?
I still have two of those PSUs as well. They were rebadged Seasonics if memory serves and when new could be had for quite cheap. Both of mine should still work as they were working when I pulled them maybe a couple of years ago. I had them running socket 775 era hardware for the most part.
I'll take it if you're offering. Sending you a PM.
It's pretty obvious someone is drop shipping an item when the Amazon driver delivers it.
I'm pretty sure that negative feedback will be going away if he appeals it. Who cares where he got an item from.
Never knew that since I don't sell or even use ebay much.
That Is frankly alarming. I know dozens of ebay sellers dropshipping from china claiming a USA location. Ever heard of Orangeconnex? They are a dedicated dropshipper for the chinese market. Seller in China has a good. They can sell it locally on taobao, aliexpress tmall etc..or they can sell it on ebay china or ebay USA through a fake USA address. They set up an ebay account in china, register and then later change their registered address to some random location in USA, many times california. Person in USA thinks they are buying good from a USA seller. Person in USA buys good. Chinese seller sends to orangeconnex, orangeconnex ships it direct to consumer. It is the definition of dropshipping. The seller in china is operating a fradulant account, saying they are located in the states, when in fact they are in china using discounted shipping services that somehow the USPS is fronting the bill on because the region the item is shipping from is considered a developing country.
And this is the ethical quandry of working with 'developing nations' because the business ethics in that part of the world are basically none. When you engage with that, you have to deal with that, and frankly I don't--that's why I'm not in a developing nation. F these third world business tactics--we don't want that in the first world and anyone gaming the system to circumvent that barrier should be blocked from this part of the world. And our lust for cheap chinese goods is what put us in this situation, closing our own domestic businesses, employment, and local economy to be dependent on the ccp, so the power is still on our hands to just not buy from these crooks and they will stay in their part of the world.
Sounds good, I'll take whatever you want to get rid of that will fit within probably a USPS padded envelope, I probably don't need any more than that. YGPM
Pm on the NUC
Hahah uh oh. I just did too. Well, it'll be up to whoever PM'd first then. A true duel. =p
I knew this one was going to get attention, off to PM's to see who came in 1st.Love to hear what the fix ends up being on that NUC (as I'm sure Gillbot will too).
Were I to have sent a PM for it I'd rescind my request and demand you post a video of the 'solution' for us all to enjoy.
As in shooting it or getting it running?If whoever got it gives up, Ide like to give it a shot
well, maybe one then the otherAs in shooting it or getting it running?
but seriously, its essentially a laptop and I would want to try to laptop things on it.
? Don't these use 2.5" SATA drives though?
I'm guessing, "I'd" was the intention. The play on words is amusing in mutual nerd context.
That’d be great. That would get him up to 8gb which is the minimum for the game. Send me a message and I can pay for postage. Thank you!
Hey someone had a couple 4gb sticks so I’m going to go for those. Thank you for the generous offer though!
That’d be great I’d definitely take those 2x4gb sticks if you’d be willing. Then he’d be up to 12gbs which is the recommended spec.
Ram is taken care of with a very generous offer from kyang357 and one from Fenris_Ulf as well. Just looking to see if anyone has an old quad core sitting around now. Thanks so much everyone you’re gonna make a grumpy old man smile. 😁
Some super cheap xeons available if they work for your board
That could be a good route to go. I honestly have no idea if a Xeon would work in the board. I’ll have to do some research. Thanks.Some super cheap xeons available if they work for your board
