Why is the ETV higher than the coupon price?

This has happened to me a few times. Today I almost bought a $59 electric kettle in my RFY, until I checked the regular listing and saw that it has a $17 coupon, so the price to buy it would be $48. Yet the ETV is $59. How does this make sense?

Using VHelper to view live feed but never see big ticket items

I'm up for eval in 2 days and hoping to make gold, but there is something I just don't understand. I use VHelper both during drops to see the live feed and after a drop to load the last 12 hours and see what I missed. Unavailable items are loaded as well, and since I chose not to be limited at $100 items, I also see gold tier items.

In 6 months I have never seen anything over a few hundred dollars, and they have been things I wouldn't want anyway. Recently I saw posts on Reddit about people scoring huge OLED TVs, tons of Dyson products, even a robot lawn mower. Why wouldn't any of these show up in my VHelper feed? (I'm aware I can't order items over $100 as silver, but I'm able to see gold items.)

I did it by accident. When I went to check how many items I had ordered today, I saw it was 4! To check if it was a fluke, I pretended to start ordering a 5th item and I got through to the checkout. I double checked my account and it still says silver. My eval date is 5 days away and I'm still under 90% (getting very close after writing a ton today). So I've probably shot myself in the foot for *over-ordering* so close to my eval, but I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced this?

P.S. In the past if I tried to accidentally order a 4th item, it wouldn't let me.

4.2.2.5 has been fantastic in that I can wear any kind of sunglasses, even mirrored, and as long as I'm facing forward it doesn't nag me. Is that still the case in 14.3.2?

I responded to a FB Marketplace listing for a brand new sofa from a very high end brand that was being discounted from $5000 to $750. It felt real so I drove over and hour to look at it and ended up in a warehouse of Knoll, Hem, and Steelcase furniture being liquidated. Everything is brand new and priced crazy low, and everything is authentic (I checked the boxes, tags, and item numbers, plus the pieces are stamped/tagged with the brand name). They boxes have WeWork work orders on them, and the team there told me they came from a WeWork that got shut down before it even opened.

I don't *need* chairs, but they have fully upholstered armless Cesca chairs for $100 apiece, and fully upholstered Cesta chairs with arms for $125 each. Each available in the dozensI I don't think I can justify buying these for myself as I don't have a need for them, but I had a thought: Should I buy a bunch to bring home in one vanload and maybe upsell them? I live in an area where there are plenty of people around who have money and taste. There are literally dozens of the armed Cesca chairs and fully upholstered armless Cescas for sale, NIB. But would it be stupid to speculate?
