I have plastic ramps and a smooth garage floor. One time I was using them with a rwd car. When I was going up the rear brake line decided to fail and the car pushed the ramps and ran into my toolbox.

I was about to say this. I created !flipping@lemmy.world to discuss selling on various platforms and I’ve sold plenty of boxes. One person sent me pics of their many copies of windows 98, 95, etc. boxes, like a disturbing amount.

Depending on the age you should look at the capacitors on the one that won’t power on.

It’s always awesome to see the community I created mentioned in the wild!

I also created !dullsters@dullsters.net as an independent alternative.

You can run a direct disk copy of a phone and then recover “deleted” data. You need root access to do it. I’m sure they have plug in tools to do it on most phones. Just don’t give them your access password or don’t use your old phone.

Just say that you brought an old phone in case it gets lost or stolen since you don’t have cell access anyway, no point in bringing your good phone.

It’s highly recommended that you sell small items anyway. I’ve sold 6 CD’s and a cassette tape this month. Some graphics cards, a motherboard, handheld game system that I repaired, etc. I have a small shelf with my inventory on it. I rarely do larger items, but I think I can sell the dresser in a day or two if it doesn’t work well in my space.

If you have a hobby like video games or card collecting you can buy collections and resell what you don’t want she keep what you do or sell games after you’re done with them. It’s fully scalable so you can put in as much or as little time as you want and pause your listings if you decide to go on vacation.

I created !flipping@lemmy.world as I resell as a hobby on eBay and marketplace. It’s a good way to clear out stuff that you don’t want or need and fuel your hobbies. I think it’s pretty funny that the other user says that reselling is gross and goes on to explain that they buy and resell things for a profit.

I’m going out to the middle of bfe this morning to pick up some stuff I won through an online estate auction. I got a dresser for $1. I might keep it I might sell it for a profit. Nobody else wanted it and I’m saving the family the hassle of having to throw it away somehow and someone else might be really happy to have it after I clean it up.

From my collection.

I’m constantly getting down votes because of the community topic. I’m making sure that it’s not someone habitually downvoting. If it were then I would refer it to the admins. People think flipping = scalping so ancaps and others kneejerk downvote. I fixed some broken consoles this weekend and now I’m going to re-sell them, but they don’t understand that. Just like someone downvoted me for using an llm as a search engine to learn how to so something new.

Except that I wrote most of it first and had to fix problems myself because it was buggy as hell. It really only gave me the jq urI part.

You downvoted me for posting a bash script, I guess I know why now. Vote count does matter a little bit because you’re pushing someone’s post down so others can’t see it. Kind of a bummer when I’m just trying to grow a small community and share with people.

I also mod. !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world There’s no difference between creating a community on a big instance and hosting a small one in that regard. The costs would be the exact same. I’m taking administration into my own hands and taking that load away from them, and decentralizing which benefits users. If Lemmy.World goes down or defederates from another big instance or makes up some weird rules, then my instance isn’t affected and users have continuity even if they have to make a new account elsewhere.

The way Lemmy works that media is stored on their instance, not mine. The only thing stored on mine are posts and whatever I upload. It costs $5 a month for a cloud server. I could host from home but I don’t feel like messing with it and it’s cheaper than setting up a server.

Without users the hosting cost is very low. I suppose it could go away if something happened to me I guess. The point is that it’s a community which is completely decentralized.

Feel free to visit. !dullsters@dullsters.net a completely independent and topic focused instance with no users. I created it so that the community would not disappear if an instance closed down or defederated from another big instance.

It does put a target on the back of any political operative using them to spread misinfo or stirring the pot. In fact it opens the door for ai bans.

Type in credentials and click “are you human” then I get “pick all objects that fit in a basket” after that it’s “please enter the code we just sent”

I just never bothered with the screws, some cables even came without them.
