JVC HR S6600EK - Finally found a decent SVHS VCR out in the wild

Got this for £8 at a car boot sale today - didn't expect it to be fully functional, but it is!

Is this any better for capturing old tapes to digital? I used a JVC HR J256EK last year to convert family videos and I'm wondering if I should redo them again with this unit?

Vintage UK eBay seller considering Vinted

Vintage UK eBay seller considering Vinted

Quite established on eBay UK but sales and views aren't really as good as they used to be. Considering moving some listings to Vinted but not sure if what I sell is worth the effort. Mostly media like video games, vhs, vinyl, books, cassettes ect. Toys, photography equipment and the like.

I hear it's mostly for clothes which I don't sell.

If it is worth selling these items on Vinted has anyone else made the move able to give me some tips? Would like to use a crosslister of sorts. Mostly to bulk move listings but probably keep using to manage inventory sales.

Pitch Black Madness

100+ resales of pitch black pre-order on eBay already today.

All the fans out there still queueing to get into PKC and getting hit with maintenance I hope they still have stock for you. This shit is utter madness. I managed to get 1 of each today, but previously wasted time on previous drops. IP banned, server issues, maintenance and payment issues.

Don't be a sucker like those buying at over double though. ☝🏼This is why it's a struggle to pre order product. It isn't even being released for another month. Hold out.

Next drop advice:

Follow this sub: Great for alerts close to suspected drop dates.

Mobile Network often causes IP ban: If you are out, start the queue, it generally takes 1-2 hours. Try to get WiFi by the time the queue is almost over.

Don't stress man, take your Ls and move on. You'll find stock out there if you look around.

Always buy at RRP

Scummy tactics at Sports Direct

Expect it to become harder to get product again from Game/Sports Direct. I queued on Friday and managed to get some tins, but they were advertising that paying with a frasers plus card will allow you to get 2 of each product rather than 1 like everyone else!

Anyone else burnt out this year?

Been a vintage seller on eBay for years. Noticably it's been getting harder each year to find more inventory at boot sales, garage trails, marketplace and charity shops.

This year in particular has really been incredibly bad. Everyone wants top prices for their old stuff with zero effort of selling. Marketplace items are quite often more expensive than eBay. Boot sales are as busy as ever but at the end of the day sellers are packing up the same amount of crap they came with. Charity shops are closing down to focus on eBay warehouse selling. And of course you have every Tom, Dick and Harry using Google lens thinking their trashed record or game is worth the value of a NM.

Selling vintage playboys

I have sold these in the past. But as of recently they get flagged and removed.

Yet I still see the same issues available to buy and have also sold recently.

Is there a way around this? I assume they get flagged by ai.

The magazine issues range from late 60s to mid 70s.

Is the problem me censoring them with cut paper? Some covers might reveal an ass crack or side boob so I thought censoring them would of been the right thing to do.

As I am scrolling recent sold comps it seems no one censors them anymore

Victorian end terrace drain issues

Looking for some advice. Just moved in a couple weeks ago. Already spent £180 with dyno-rod to clear backed up drains.

Previous Tennants used the drain closest to the door as an ashtray! Cigarette butts, gum, wipes, chicken feathers ect. We cleared a bulk of it by hand before moving in. But a week later toilet paper and shit backed up from the waste pipe next to it overflowing out of the gulley.

One week after paying for jetting and it's backed up again.

Quote for £600 to remove broken section of SVP pipework and install a new section/clip this to wall and seal pipework, repair benching around the gulley - 1 man on site.

As you may be able to see from my photos years of abuse has lead to the concreting up against the house to wash away. With waste currently sitting up against the house in crevasses.

The quote given to us doesn't specify much. I would like to completely fix the issues and to make sure no water or waste can get behind the house.

I am not very knowledgeable with plumbing. Really need help to decide if the job is worth the money or if we need to consider additional work.

The house had issues with damp on the wall right by the gulley
