Contact the seller via ebay messages with pics and they will either send you a replacement, give a refund, or ignore you. A lot of high volume sellers don’t even bother to check and just mark everything as good used condition. If they ignore you just request a refund after a few days.

Food prices have been high for a while and it’s probably tough for donations. We are looking at a 30% higher cost of groceries compared to 5 years ago with some items up to 50%. I think the main reason for the cost is corporate greed. If you have an Aldi nearby it’s probably the best place to shop on a budget.

Maybe they did an online order then changed the location?

I only go to the mall for Dicks sporting goods or Apple which both have their own entrances. Have not walked inside the mall or any other stores in years.

Just check ebay, most movies that are a few years old can be found for under $5 shipped. I still go back to DVD/Bluray copies of my favorite movies sometimes since content changes so often on streaming services.

This is true for part time or casual use but for all day work use including travel you get better build quality and far less problems with a pro grade machine. We spend the same on a macbook, thinkpad, surface or probook for our basic full time users.

While it may be a bit overkill for someone who spends their day in word, excel, chrome and zoom we save money in the long term due to reliability. There is far less downtime and IT time spent on each user over the life of the system (3-4 years). The same is true about higher quality computer accessories.

8GB is definitely not enough for coding, gaming, or most creative work but it’s fine for basic office/school work or entertainment. Heck my M1 Macbook Air is even good with basic Photoshop/Illustrator work and light AV editing. I certainly prefer my PC laptop with 32GB and a dedicated GPU but its power adapter weighs more than a Macbook Air.

I worked for a company who went with a cut rate insurance provider one year who basically denied or screwed up every claim. This required calls, faxes and hours wasted any time anyone had a medical procedure. The kicker was that the insurance company hours were the same as our company hours so all of this had to happen during company time. They went with a proper provider the next year.

Nope just an old Gary Fisher that needs to be replaced soon.

This is disappointing but not surprising and has been happening for a long time. Please do your research and never donate from a random phone call, letter, or “round up for charity” ask at a register.

I work for a 501c3 nonprofit and we are very transparent. Our website contains links to our annual impact report & form 990 along with links to our profiles on BBB, Charity Navigator and Guidestar. Donors can also visit our office and are encouraged to attend our events or trainings.
