Not trying to be rude at all, but what you have just described is very unhealthy in a beginning stages hoarder type of way. You should maybe see someone about it if getting rid of things causes you emotional distress. My mother started hoarding when she lost her first child, and her relationship to inanimate objects…

You could find a Coke collector group on FB or somewhere and use the unwanted items as barter for pieces you actually WANT in your collection. I have a friend who trades cookie jars online haha, there are collector groups for everything.

While I don’t happen to agree with you, I’m not a capital C cunt so I’m not going to gleefully gang up on you like a rabid pack of mean girl middle schoolers. Good day.

Uhh, some kind of weird Kinja voodoo shit is happening here....

Why are people guessing Anne Rice? She's SUCH a lovely person to her fans on Facebook. I adore her. :(

I actually live smack in the middle of the worst part of the meth/pill epidemic, so it is extremely hard to be treated for certain issues here. I don’t feel I have a learning disorder, unless you count being a gifted child (which some states do). Despite being “gifted” and acing multiple AP exams, I graduated fourth…

One of my Schnauzers does this with peas! We’ve always thought it was so funny haha. Occasionally he will begrudgingly eat the peas after everything else in the bowl is gone, including licking it clean. He kind of glares sullenly at us while making lots of “this is icky” mouth sounds when he does.

How does one self diagnose a learning disability and ADD? Genuinely curious, as I've suspected it of myself (the ADD anyway). I should also be on some type of mood stabilizer, but don't know how to pursue that without someone stamping DRUG SEEKING BEHAVIOR in bright red ink on all my files. I am a non religious,…

Everyone’s always such a pompous dick about steak. :(

OMG this just made me remember a story my mother told me from her highschool years. She graduated in 1969, and experienced the majority of the Miniskirt Years as a teenager. So this isn’t as shocking as it would be now, but it’s still shocking. The school dress code prohibited ladies from wearing pants, but she wore…

This is what happens when less intelligent people are put in any kind of position of power. Rules Sticklers. They lack the capacity to recognize or understand subtleties or original targets and intents of rules in situations like these. It happens so often. :/

They aren’t all like that. I used to work at an organic grocery chain that would let us take home anything that was 8 days away from expiration. We occasionally got sent shipments of the wrong thing and we got to take all that stuff home too. I scored a pair of 1 year water filter replacements that retailed for $70…

I remember reading a story a few years ago about how A&F hires people to scour thrift shops for their clothing as part of their brand strategy. So that they will never be associated with The Poors. There was a guy protesting the practice by handing out A&F clothing to as many homeless people as he could find with a…

This form of retail arbitrage is a very small percent of my business. There are only a few releases of stuff like this per year. But I still chafe at entitled people who think they have a God given right to big box retailer items telling me to quit my job. Wouldn't you?

Why in the world would someone want to work fast food when everyone that resold Target collabs yesterday made more than someone flipping burgers makes in a month?

Well, yes, generally if someone loses their primary source of income, those things happen. People are specifically calling out and vilifying reselling as a whole (which is my profession) not just reselling in this specific instance. This is purely from ignorance. Most regular joes on the street would never guess that…

Oh god, imagine this woman being your vet and advising you to have a pet put down, then seeing this...

I don’t pretend to understand the whims of crazy people or why they choose to blow cash on cheap shit from a big box chain store. I just sell it to them.

I fail to see how reselling as a profession is sketchy. There are sketchy PEOPLE in all walks of life doing all manner of things. I bet Sketchy McDruggerson was also wearing clothing, but I can’t surmise that all clothing is similarly sketchy from that. So seriously, though. Explain to me exactly how it is in any way…

When you attack someone’s livelihood on a fundamental level, they are going to compare what they do with what you do. That’s how arguments work. If you guys are so down on eBay, please don’t shop there. You both sound like nightmare customers. You realize that MOST of the items on eBay AND Amazon AND the vintage…
