Tempted, but passed

Tempted, but passed

In my RFY.

I have an in-wall 5.1 system but rarely use it. I mostly use the Sonos Arc Ultra that I got from Vine. I hope one of you could use this. It’s retail price is $599 and ETV is $457

Miracles happen!

After 2 years and 4 months of vining, I FINALLY got a name brand, useful PC related item in my RFY list! Typing on it now...and it's pretty freakin' sweet. So, if you are like me, getting nothing but poo in your RFY, may this news brings you some kind of hope. Stick with it, maybe a miracle will happen for you too! lol

Do you really think anyone will take the tax hit for you?

Some sellers don't get that inflating the prices (so they'd have no real sales on amazon before testing the reviews) would only make them lose out on money required to add their products to vine.. Nobody will order ts bro.

I've seen this pattern of having something x5 x10 inflated in ETV, just to fall 90% after the vine phase.

Who'd intentionally screw up their taxes for you bro? Or best case scenario have to explain to the IRS/Finanzamt why this 5.2K item is actually worth 10€.

Passing on this "shocking" 0.00 ETV in my RFY

Woke up to this in my RFY this morning. Wife said hard no. Hopefully it will find a good home that won’t be too crappy. May it always please its new owner. Good luck happy campers.

2,200+ word review... somebody had too much fun

Props to the Viner who dropped in over 2,200 words of review that is only mildly off-topic. For due diligence, the AI writing checkers are all in a tizzy, with some insisting it's 100% AI and others absolutely certain it's not AI. I can't really include a screenshot because it's numerous pages long, so anybody who wants to see it should head to the https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H33H4B5Q listing and look for Daniel's review from August 14th.

I'm only dropping this here because it's Mildly Interesting and reminds me of the sort of rambling I used to do a lot more of in the past, so I figured some other folks might be curious.

I got this, for science

What do y'all think will show up?

If its a grinder I'd find a use for it

If its dumpling squishies my oldest would lose her mind.

This one takes the cake, almost literally

They are nuts asking nearly 100 dollars for 1.5oz. they don't even list the percent, which should be 10%. It's probably 5% or under which doesn't matter because the average consumer has no way to test or verify.

Kicking myself for passing…

I hope someone else got this to enjoy! This was my first decent thing since my Gold renewal a few weeks ago, and man was it a good one! It stayed in there all morning through early afternoon, then was gone by late afternoon. I sat on it because my tax value for the year is already pretty high. This had an ETV of under $500, I can’t recall exactly how much. I thought about getting it, and thought hard. Then of course when I thought “Screw, it! Just get it!”, it was gone. 😅

Black Display Stuff!

I ordered “Black Display Stuff” - $0 FMV, figured it was worth a shot.

Turns out, I got a “Vacuum Beard Trimmer”. We’ll see how well it works, expectations are low, but at least a mystery was solved!

“My beard hair is dark, and I do display it on my face… checks out!”
