TLDR: I did a ritual to banish a malevolent ghost, my spirit medium friend said a grim reaper came to take it away.
This is my experience, interpreted by a spirit medium who declared the presence of a grim reaper, but I personally did not see the reaper. Im including it here because I think it speaks to the function of reapers. I’m a firm believer in ghosts, demons & the like. My childhood best friend and her mom are very sensitive spirit mediums. I’ve had too many personal experiences to ever doubt the existence of these things, but at a certain age I had some really scary experiences and chose to not see them anymore. I can still sense things however, and observe their interactions with the physical world.
I love collecting old objects, as well as useful things that are very cheap. These habits coincided about a month and a half ago when I found a gorgeous antique sewing cabinet on Craigslist that I ended up buying for $25. Usually I try to remember to cleanse & salt vintage items before bringing them into my home (I’ve gotten feelings about objects before, even through photos) but in this case the owner asked me to come through on short notice and it was also raining outside so I was in a hurry to get in, & I failed to do any kind of cleansing although it did occur to me that there may be a deceased human spirit attached.
So perhaps 2 weeks ago, my roommate and I compared notes on some very dark and powerful haunting symptoms we had both noticed (this is the wrong sub to go into detail about them, but I may make another post later). We did our usual cleansing ritual, which was more eventful than usual, but I did forget to specifically smoke cleanse the cabinet. The very next day, I continued to notice signs that there was an entity present. Since I was already at the limit of my abilities I texted my friend to see if she could remotely confirm whether or not the entity remained.
She confirmed that yes, there was a very evil & tricky deceased human spirit who evaded our cleanse. She went into detail about him, and also gave me a banishing ritual from her mother, who is really the banishing powerhouse of the two of them. The ritual is as follows:
Fill a pan or bowl with distilled water and place in it three small crystals: rose quartz, clear quartz, and black tourmaline. Leave it outside in full sun for a few hours during the sunniest part of the day, being certain to bring it in before it gets dark. Open all the windows and doors & use the prepared water and a cloth to clean every part, inside and out, of the furniture. An entity will come and remove the malevolent spirit.
It took me a few days to prepare the holy water, but as soon as I was able, I cleansed myself and sat down to complete the ritual. I was having a good time, being very thorough, when my cat wandered into my room. She is very lazy, sweet, & obedient (for a cat) and was sniffing around my room out of curiosity. Now, I am a very disorganized and cluttery person, and my window was blocked off from reasonable cat access by some plastic tubs covered in potted plants, additionally I had some glass jars with dead cuttings (propagation fail) sitting on my windowsill.
About halfway through the cleanse, I heard one of my glass jars fall off the windowsill and shatter. Now this could have been cat-related, my cat is too big to stand on the tiny sill, but she is long & I have seen her stand up on her hind legs and put her front paws on the sill to look out of windows before. I didn’t have a clear line of sight to the window from where I was sitting, although I was under the impression she was under the bed at the time.
When I told my medium friend about the events of the cleansing, she told me that the breaking glass was a result of the evil spirit fighting against the grim reaper that had come to take him away. She said the spirit hated me and my town but even more than that feared moving on and facing judgement.
What leads me to believe my friend’s explanation over the cat explanation is that my cat never knocks things over for fun as many cats are known to do. When she is being naughty for attention she either chews plants or walks disrespectfully across the coffee table, pretty much the only two things I scold her for. The other thing is that she is very skittish, when she accidentally knocks something over, she immediately bolts in the opposite direction, usually causing even more chaos, or at least the pounding footsteps of a stampeding buffalo (she is chonk). Especially since the glass would have fallen right where she had to have been standing, it’s hard for me to believe she could have knocked the glass off and had no reaction. Additionally, during the haunting phase of this experience, everything the spirit did was very physical, much stronger and weirder than simply knocking over a glass.
Well thanks for reading! Sorry it’s not a climactic story but I thought it was interesting. Let me know if you want to hear the details of the ghost and the haunting.

TLDR: I made a joke about wanting something expensive and ended up with it and I regret it.
My husband and I were out at an art walk with friends and passed by a jewelry store. I noticed some pretty gold and opal earrings in the window that were (in my opinion) clearly out of our price range. But in classic “let’s indulge in the fantasy that we can have whatever we want for a moment” style I walked in to have the person give me a closer look. Hubby and friends followed me in. So the guy unlocks the case and I try on the fancy earrings and ask the guy how much and he says “$2800”. Now I am not a jewelry person. I rarely wear any. I am a home body, so it’s not like I have many occasions for whipping out earrings in any case. My husband (I believed) knows this. So after the guy tells us the absurd price I jokingly make eye contact with hubby and say “birthday?”. That’s it’s. Just “birthday” then laugh and we leave and go on our way. We get a little further and my husband pats his pockets and says “oh shoot I forgot my wallet in the car” so I give him the keys he runs the several blocks back to the car and our friends and I keep going looking at galleries until he catches up with us. At which point he hands me a jewelry box. Friends are impressed husband is very proud and happy. And I am MORTIFIED.
I feel SO BAD. Don’t get me wrong we can afford it but it is such a ginormous waste of money. But I couldn’t bring myself to tell him I would rather not have them in front of our friends. To be honest I don’t think I’m ever going to have the heart to tell him.
Edit: someone mentioned one of my follow up comments should go in the post as an edit so here it goes.
It’s a pretty common joke between my hubby and I. For example, if we are at an antique store and see a 15 foot chandelier either one of us might say “maybe for my birthday?” We do not even own a home that could house a 15 ft chandelier. Other examples we have used this on recently. A wall mounted antique Buffalo head taxidermied to look like it’s smoking a tabacco pipe. A 6 foot tall wicker dog. A statue of a clown playing an accordion. A Craigslist post offering up 15 used whisky barrel bar stools. I agree its my bad for not following up to clarify when we left the store but in general for us it’s a well known code for “holy gee wilickers look what someone is expected to pay for this monstrosity”
Update: wow this thing really popped off.
End result, the earrings are here to stay.
I have thanked him profusely and let him know how loved it made me feel. After I posted this but long before it started popping off, I vented a little of my fear over the cost to hubby in as kind a way as possible, and he talked me through my anxiety and pointed out it would not break the bank. We talked through ideas for doing better communicating on this in the future on my part and set a $150 spending limit for gifts above which we should probably check in with each other. We aren’t keeping it hard and fast but more a general rule of thumb.
Since then the post started going crazy and as he is also on Reddit I decided to just fess up and show him.
He converted me to using the Apollo app and taught me how to sort comments by controversial and we had a really good laugh at a few of the highlights. Particularly someone who joked about creating a revolving door of returning gifts and then buying a gift for the other person and rinse and repeating forever.
I hope this brought y’all some closure. It’s sure made me feel better, calmed me down and given me so many laughs.

A trio of bills aimed at curbing gun violence received the endorsement of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, a giant victory for supporters of gun safety measures who have seen similar proposals languish for years under Republican control of the Senate.
The sponsor of the bills, Senate Judiciary Chair Ron Latz, DFL-St. Louis Park, said he doesn't expect to consider any additional gun bills this session. The question now becomes whether these three bills can pass the Senate, where Democrats have a narrow 34-33 advantage.
"Everyone's going to make their own judgment call on it," Latz said. "We have lots of new senators evaluating a lot of things for the first time."
In a hearing that stretched more than five hours, the committee heard from more than 30 members of the public, crime victims and law enforcement, most of whom supported the bills.
A few opponents testified that the measures attempt to incrementally impinge on their Second Amendment rights and inconvenience them. One opponent sharply threatened electoral retaliation against senators who voted for the bills, and received multiple rebukes.
Latz opened his comments by saying: "Gun violence is an epidemic in our society."
He talked about people living in fear, and how more Minnesotans die by suicide using guns than they do from homicides involving guns. The three bills would help the state "step up to the plate a little bit more and prevent firearms tragedies," he said.
The first bill, which the panel endorsed and sent to the Finance Committee on a 6-4 party-line vote, would close a loophole in the law by expanding criminal background checks for pistols and semiautomatic military-style assault weapons sold at shows, online or transferred. Latz noted that the bill wouldn't apply to hunting rifles.
The least controversial bill would increase penalties to 20 years for owning or possessing a machine gun, trigger activator or a conversion kit to make a gun automatic. That bill passed on a voice vote as, did a red flag bill aimed at keeping firearms away from those who are a danger to themselves or others.
House committees have endorsed the background check and red flag bills, but haven't yet acted on the machine gun bill.
Some of the most emotional testimony came from crime victims — including Melissa Kennedy, a physician assistant at the Allina Health Buffalo Crossroads Clinic where Gregory Ulrich shot five people, killing Lindsay Overbay, in February 2021.
"We knew [Ulrich] was dangerous," Kennedy said. "But Minnesota did not have a law to protect its citizens from people in crisis."
Roseville pastor Rolf Olson urged passage of gun safety measures, saying that his daughter Katherine, 24, was shot in the back by a .357 Magnum in 2007 when she answered a Craigslist ad for a babysitter at a house in Shakopee. He told committee members to "consider my daughter who was permanently inconvenienced by being put in a grave."
Under the first bill, those who seek to buy or transfer pistols and semiautomatic assault weapons would be required to seek a permit from law enforcement, which would have 30 days to conduct a background check. The permit could be denied for those who have domestic violence or drug-related convictions, are in a gang database or deemed a danger to themselves or others.
Latz said the bill would close a loophole that allows 40% of such firearms to be sold through gun shows, online or transferred to neighbors and friends without background checks.
Officials with the Minnesota County Attorneys Association, the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association and the Minnesota Sheriffs' Association all spoke for the bill. So did Public Safety Commissioner Bob Jacobson, who called it a "common sense" law that's already in place in 21 states.
Ramsey County Attorney John Choi also urged passage, saying it's a critical loophole to close. "We've had this conversation for way too long," he said.
A National Rifle Association lobbyist opposed the bills as did Ben Dorr, director of Minnesota Gun Rights, an advocacy group based in Northfield. He called the bill "an absolute sham" and the hearing a "dog-and-pony show."
Dorr listed a series of mass shootings where the shooters involved had passed background checks before obtaining their firearms, and pledged to bring the "full political fury" of gun supporters on senators in the next election.
Sen. Sandy Pappas, DFL-St. Paul, interrupted Dorr, calling his threat "totally inappropriate."
The bill requires those who are party to a firearms transfer to keep their paperwork for 10 years. Failure to do so would be a misdemeanor.
Sen. Warren Limmer, R-Maple Grove, voted against the bill and said "the federal government doesn't even require us to keep our tax records 10 years." He said the bill focuses "a lot of regulation on a broad law-abiding population."
Sen. Jeff Howe, R-Rockville, argued against the bills, noting that he was a "trained sniper." He asked Latz whether he had ever hunted fox, coyote or "anything at all?" Latz said he went duck hunting with friends once as a child.
Howe told Latz the bill "looks to me to make those of us obeying the law, criminals."
On the red flag bill, Latz said it would create two pathways for getting a gun away from a dangerous person — through filing a petition with law enforcement or requesting an emergency hearing in front of a judge. No such option currently exists.
Rob Doar, vice president and lobbyist for the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, said the key to passage of the bill will be two freshmen DFL senators from northern Minnesota, Grant Hauschild of Hermantown and Rob Kupec of Moorhead.
"They certainly have the momentum," Doar said of the bills' advocates. "But we've got a lot of members in these key districts where the senators haven't taken a position."
Doar said he was pleased the Senate panel had not taken up four other bills that have been proposed and were of major concern to his members. Those bills would enhance firearm storage requirements, increase the age for military-style rifles to 21, require reporting of stolen firearms and limit the size of magazines.

eBay, Craigslist, and Google haven't helped me find a '97 Kenmore West High School Yearbook. Ideally I would find the physical book so I could give it as a gift, but a scanned electronic version would be appreciated as well. This is from Kenmore (Buffalo area), New York. Thanks!

Hey everyone, coming to UB (south) for grad school starting this summer. Looking for a studio or 1 bedroom. I've been reading everything about buffalos neighborhoods and price ranges for the past month, and I keep hearing about cheap housing closer to the south campus, except everywhere I look (padmapper, FB, trulia, apartments, craigslist) is saying the going rate is about 1100-1200. Rarely will I find anything sub 1k. Im on these sites daily but nothing new really pops up. I have a car and am willing to live in more suburban areas farther away (in fact i prefer it) but still everything is in that range. I'm trying to get a sense of what to pay for rent + utilities (electric, gas internet). Will more options pop up as the end of the semester comes to a close and students move out? Because if 1200 seems to be the going rate then I'll just get a studio at villas chestnut and save myself the headache of getting furniture and stuff (though there is a waitlist for fall 2023 i see). Thanks in advance!

This guide comprises three parts. The first part, the practical side, will talk about the various ways to buy secondhand, specific recommendations, and general tips to find great pieces. The second part, the philosophical side, will talk about the benefits of buying secondhand and the various reasons that it's a great option. The third part is an album of MFA community members wearing all-secondhand or mostly-secondhand outfits to show off the variety of great clothing that you can find secondhand. If you'd rather view the album first, here it is: MFA Wearing Secondhand!

Part 1. Where and How to Buy Secondhand Clothing

There are several options for shopping secondhand. I'll give a brief overview here:
I. Thrift stores
Examples: Goodwill, Salvation Army, tons of other local options
These stores sell donated goods. They offer a wide selection of super inexpensive secondhand clothes. Sometimes they're not in good condition, sometimes they smell a little funky and need a wash. This is the "lowest barrier to entry" to buy clothing - you can find pieces for as little as $1-2 at some thrift stores.
I don't want to go super in-depth on thrift stores because this MFA guide to thrifting is really good, as is this FFA guide. The best advice is to go a lot, and don't be discouraged if you don't find what you're looking for the first time or two. Stock rotates in and out a lot. Feel the garments - you can really feel great wool / cashmere by touch. There's often a ton of stuff to sift through but with patience you can definitely find high-end brands at thrift stores. Don't be afraid to check out the women's section as sometimes stuff is mislabeled (tip for those of us with significant others who are women, go thrifting together and keep an eye out for clothing for your partner that you stumble across!)
There are a few city-specific guides if you search the subreddit, for example, this one for NYC, or general "where to shop" guides such as this one that include thrift stores - search for your city! It's a good idea to look at subreddits for your specific city and look for thrift store recommendations, or ask in MFA's daily questions for favorite thrift stores near your location.
Tip: clothing does not have to fit you perfectly for it to be a good buy. Sport coats and shirts should fit you in the shoulders and not be too short. Pants should feel right in the rise. A ton of other measurements can be adjusted by a tailor. Sport coat sleeves can often be lengthened if there's some extra material in the cuff (there's often about an inch or so). Jackets can be brought in. Pant legs can be tapered, and inseams can be hemmed or sometimes made longer. Here's an article about what tailors can and can't do. While the article focuses on suits, a lot of the same adjustments can be made to casual clothes, too.
II. Clothing resale stores, consignment stores, and vintage stores
Examples: Plato's Closet, Buffalo Exchange, tons of other local options
Clothing resale stores buy clothing and then sell it. Consignment stores are similar but don't pay the original owner up front, rather, they share a portion of the profit with the original owner after the sale is made. As a buyer, there's not much difference shopping resale vs consignment. Vintage stores mainly stock clothing that's 20+ years old. There is a large variability in vintage stores; some sell donated old clothes for low prices (similar to thrift stores) while others are higher-end boutiques where you pay good money for excellent vintage clothing.
The benefits of going to these stores rather than thrift stores is that the clothing is often better organized, cleaner, and less likely to have defects or damage because it goes through a more rigorous pre-screening process by the store. The drawback is that you likely will be paying much more for clothing at these stores compared to thrift stores; I've seen designer pieces for over $1000 at my local consignment store.
Similar tips apply to these stores as thrift stores - feel garments to assess their quality, look for recognizable brands but don't hesitate to go for something you don't recognize if it looks good to you. Try things on. Go often and keep trying repeatedly, don't feel bad if you walk out emptyhanded more often than not.
Again, check your city's specific subreddit, the MFA where to shop thread, or ask in MFA's daily questions thread for curated suggestions. If there's a specifically affluent area near you, consider checking out used clothing stores in that area - sometimes rich folks with too much money dump really high quality and expensive stuff.
One more option for in-person vintage shopping, especially if you live in a trendy city, are pop-up shops such as Alfargo's Marketplace. Check out Eventbrite to see if there's anything in your area.
I'll also briefly mention estate sales and yard sales. Usually these don't have great selection, but they're worth checking out occasionally - sometimes you'll find great inexpensive clothing at these sorts of sales.
III. Online Structured Marketplaces
eBay is a huge online secondhand marketplace, and is often the first place I'll look when I'm looking for something. eBay includes secondhand new (unworn) items as well as pre-owned in anywhere from like-new to horrendous condition. PTO's eBay roundup is great to check on occasionally. Pay note to the filters included in the posts, like this one for suits - if there are brands you really like, add them to the search and bookmark it with your size filters applied so you can check back on it occasionally. Or make your own filters and keep them bookmarked - for example, I made this filter and used it to find some nice OCBDs.
Grailed can be thought of as a "sleeker" eBay with a more attractive interface and (often) more designer / high-end clothing, although there's plenty of basic stuff too. I've also find a lot more listings from sellers in Europe and Asia on grailed vs on eBay, so it's good to check both if you're looking for a specific item. Note that there are lots of folks who make small businesses by reselling clothing on eBay and grailed, so sometimes you're not buying consumer-to-consumer. It shouldn't really make a difference for most purchases, but one of the benefits of this is that you can bookmark sellers who carry lots of stuff you're interested in and check back on them once a month or so to see what new stuff they have to offer.
Etsy has some vintage clothing resellers, such as PlacidVintage and PetesObsolete - these can be thought of as mini online vintage storefronts. Etsy unfortunately doesn't have as good size filtering tools as eBay and grailed, but from my experience the sellers are quite communicative, so it may be worth messaging them asking for what they have available in your size.
Vinted is another online clothing marketplace option. While I don't have personal experience with Vinted, I've heard that it's a good option, especially for EU-based shoppers.
Buyee is a proxy service that allows you to tap into Japanese secondhand markets such as Yahoo! Japan auctions and Mercari. It's one of the simplest ways to tap into the online Japanese secondhand market. The proxy fees tend to be pretty reasonable, so give this a shot if you're feeling adventurous. XavierWT wrote a guide to proxying clothes from Japan here - give it a read!
Tip: When buying secondhand online, it greatly benefits to know your measurements. Get a measuring tape and measure some well-fitting pieces of clothing, and keep those handy (I use a notes app in my phone to quickly refer back). Don't assume that something will fit you just because you're familiar with the brand/size! Sometimes people sell items that have been tailored or shrunk in the wash. If a seller doesn't list the measurements, ask. Remember that shoulders, length, and not-too-short sleeve length are the most important measurements for tops/jackets and rise is the most important for bottoms.
Tip for footwear: Buying footwear with no returns can be tricky, because measurements aren't helpful the way they are for clothes, and lots of folks online don't allow returns. It's best to know your own Brannock measurement and check how people size up/down for the specific last. It can be helpful to ask on MFA or on goodyearwelt for advice on sizing for a specific lasts, and check the GYW last sizing thread.
IV. Online Thrift/Consignment
Online thrift/consignment stores are definitely worth looking into. Similar to brick-and-mortar consignment stores, their selection usually has some sort of "pre-filtering" applied, which can make it easier to find good stuff, but generally you'll be paying a little more compared to on eBay. I've seen a lot of good stuff on TheRealReal and Poshmark, and other ones I've read good things about are Vestiaire (formerly known as Tradesy) and depop. Another interesting one to look into is 2nd Street—they have physical storefronts in some cities but their online marketplace has a big selection, especially designehype brands.
Goodwill also has an online thrift store, although I haven't given it much of a shot. They seem to have a large selection although there's a ton of junk too. Worth a peruse.
V. Online Unstructured Marketplaces
There are "unstructured" secondhand options where you can buy directly from sellers outside of marketplaces through PayPal, Venmo, etc. These marketplaces exist in online communities, forums, and social media. Some examples include /MaleFashionMarket, the FMF weekly B/S/T, and Styleforum classifieds (lots of nicer tailoring and shoes here).
Popular designer brands, such as Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester, and many others have dedicated facebook groups / subreddits / discord servers where people buy and sell clothing. If you want to get into specific designers or look for a wider variety than what you might find on grailed, these are worth checking out.
Instagram has plenty of secondhand and vintage sellers, some of whom have their own sites or structured marketplaces and some of whom only conduct business through instagram. Some examples of these accounts are 10th Meridian, Le Zouave, Swiss Vintage Finds, id_secondhandstore, but there is a wide world if you're willing to look.
Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and letgo/OfferUp are worth mentioning, although I haven't personally bought much from them in terms of clothing. Worth trawling occasionally, but most clothing sellers who have decent stuff are selling them on other sites.
Tip: Always pay the extra 3.5% for PayPal Goods & Services rather than Friends & Family when buying in unstructured marketplaces with no buyer protection. If you go the F&F route, the seller is legally allowed to keep your money and not send you anything. Don't get scammed!

Part 2. Why to Buy Secondhand Clothing

I. It's an ethical choice for human rights.
Put simply, buying secondhand is one of the most ethical ways to consume fashion. Not to go all "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" on y'all, but most of us here have closets with a bunch of fast fashion and/or mall brand items where human rights have taken a backseat to producing low-cost clothing. Buying secondhand instead of fast fashion reduces the demand on clothing companies that don't pay factory workers a living wage, that bust worker unions and force them into bad working conditions. There's something to be said about financially supporting skilled clothing workers, but companies that make miUSA clothing or even designer brands that make clothing in Italy aren't immune, either.
II. It's an environmentally friendly choice.
Don't believe this greenwashed crap. The uncomfortable truth that we need to face as consumers is that buying new clothing impacts the environment negatively. Even if you're buying the best clothing made from the best sustainable™ materials, handcrafted by well-paid artisans, there is still an impact to the environment: greenhouse gas emissions, chemical waste, water usage, and energy consumption all go into the production of new clothing. By buying an article of clothing secondhand, you are potentially preventing it from ending up in a landfill or incinerator and not contributing to the aforementioned environmental consequences of buying new.
III. It's less expensive than buying new.
For those on tight budgets, it's hard to beat thrifting or online secondhand. For example, check out this post where someone comes up with an entire vintage ivy capsule wardrobe, sport coats and all, for ~$500. Even for those not on tight budgets, it's great to check out what's available. Sometimes someone has worn a pair of shoes or a sport coat once and is selling it for less than half of the new price. Plenty of clothing that's new with tags can be found on eBay, so it's always a good idea to check around for a specific item before deciding to buy it from an online retailer. Plus, thrifting is a great way to try out clothes outside of your "comfort zone" / regular sense of style - if you're looking for a way to liven up your wardrobe, or you feel like you're wearing the same clothes all the time, thrifting is a great idea to explore clothing without committing a ton of money!
On a similar note, secondhand is one of the best ways to make expensive clothing (whether it be hype designer pieces or top-quality items) accessible. If you know how to look for it, and with patience, you can find pieces from designers like Rick Owens or brands like Iron Heart for significantly reduced prices from retail. Plus, the people who wear expensive/designer clothes often know how to take care of it well, so usually this stuff will be in good condition. In fact, tons of people who wear a lot of designer stuff primarily purchase it secondhand! It can really pay off to join communities and gain rapport with individual sellers if you're interested in specific types of clothing.
IV. It's fun and rewarding!
Seriously, it's a great feeling when you find something secondhand that fits you perfectly, or if you find a great item in a thrift store that you weren't expecting. For in-person shopping, I think it's really fun to bring a friend or significant other with you and look for items for each other. At the very least, you're bound to find some entertainment in the form of t-shirts.

Part 3. MFA Wearing Secondhand Clothes

ALBUM HERE!
All people in this album are regular MFA posters who sent me pictures of themselves wearing secondhand clothing. As you can see, secondhand shopping offers a huge variety of different clothing styles, from basic outfits to formalwear to interesting avant-garde fashion. If you don't like an outfit someone's wearing, that's ok - you don't have to mention it :)
On a personal note, I've given myself a goal for 2023 to only buy secondhand clothing, and I'm having a ton of fun so far, and I've never been happier with my "new" wardrobe pickups. If you haven't tried secondhand shopping yet, I truly hope that this guide has convinced you to give it a shot!

I have the opportunity to buy 5,000 wheat cents from Craigslist. Sounds like they were purchased from a coin shop and searched for key dates but no varieties / semi key dates.
He is asking $0.05 a coin. He is also selling v nickels for $0.60 and Buffalo nicked for $0.45.
Thanks for the input!

My apartment was broken into tonight. Here's a list of bottles that were stolen....I know a lot of people on here don't buy on secondary but just in case anyone comes across these somewhere for sale bundled together, maybe on craigslist or something, I don't know, it could be a bit of a red flag. I know its a long shot. I'm local YVR.

I'm wanting to fly from NYC to Buffalo, one time I went on craigslist rideshare and found a pilot who did that run often and I was able to split his cost with him. I'm curious if there are any other forums that have a way to find people in the area who are doing that? Or is there an app? Or do I just go to the private airport and look at a bulletin board?
Anyhelp would be appreciated, it was such an amazing experience last time and felt good giving money directly offsetting the pilots cost. Would love to do this again since I'm flexible.
​
thx

Trying to move back to Buffalo for school, and I'm in search of a 1BBA under $900 (no roommates or pets). I've been calling around for weeks, but no one seems to pick up the phone or answer emails. If they do, they say their units are unavailable until late 2022 or early 2023. Everything seems to be overpriced, unavailable, or a scam. I'm starting to panic because the clock is ticking. Is anyone else going through the same thing?
I've been searching on Zillow, Craigslist, Facebook market, Rent Cafe, Trulia, and property development/management websites.
If anyone knows a 1B1BA place available near any of the UB campuses, let me know.
Edit: I found a place! Thanks everyone for your information and help.

The resale market is no longer just for thrift-store aficionados and antique collectors. It has exploded into a world of secondhand Gucci handbags, Electronics, limited-edition sneakers, and temporary wardrobe refreshers from a range of brands. That’s because buying secondhand is better for the environment and easier on the wallet, making it possible to try more trends without spending or wasting.
Within ten years, secondhand is expected to grow even larger than fast fashion, according to a report from the online resale site ThredUp. 64% of women are now interested in buying secondhand products, up from just 45% in 2016. And resale shoppers come from a variety of income brackets and a range of ages.
These days, there’s something for everyone available for resale. And what does that mean for you? That means a variety of goods can be sold, online or in-person, for a surprising amount of cash. You could make thousands of dollars per month as a reseller, in fact. It's one of the best side hustles out there, and a great idea for how to make money in your spare time.
So let’s look at what exactly reselling is — and how you can get started as a reseller today. Also before we start I want to state this post is originally from Resell

What does it mean to resell?

Resell essentially means “selling something again.” The resale business model involves purchasing goods and then selling them at a markup to customers through an online platform like eBay, an online storefront like Shopify, or a brick-and-mortar secondhand store. Many resellers also sell their own used items that they no longer need.
Reselling is a great business opportunity for people who don’t have the time or know-how to produce their own merchandise, but who can identify items of value that are available for sale.

How much can you make by becoming a reseller?

The amount you can earn depends on how you resell, what you resell, and how much time and effort you put into your business. For used merchandise stores, the average annual revenue per worker has grown to $120,000. For individuals using an online platform such as eBay, Poshmark, or TheRealReal, earnings vary greatly. Some users pull in six figures, while others make a little extra cash each month selling used items.
Maximizing your earnings begins with choosing the right items to resell, whether you’re collecting items from Craigslist or cleaning out your closet. For example, ThredUp estimates that you’ll earn only about $0.55 for a pair of Old Navy jeans, but a used Gucci handbag could earn you a payout of $286.84.
The good news is, that reselling is a totally flexible opportunity, so you can determine how much time, effort, and money you devote to growing your business. It can be a great fit for many different lifestyles and financial goals, whether you’re looking to turn your old stuff into extra cash or flip enough valuable items to be able to quit your day job.

How do you start a reselling business?

1. Choose what you’ll sell and where you’ll get your items

You might visit yard sales or estate sales, browse Craigslist, or find hot items at thrift stores like GoodWill. You could also shop sample sales, surprise sales, and other limited-time discount events, or find discounted items at retailers like Nordstrom Rack and TJMaxx. Another route would be to dropship items from overseas retailers like AliExpress. Or, if you want to get started without investing any money, you could source items from your own closet, basement, or storage locker.

2. Choose where you’re going to resell your items

The platform you choose to use and the items you choose to sell will go hand in hand. For example, if you want to sell high-end designer handbags, TheRealReal could be a great option for you. If you’re flipping used furniture from Craigslist, a brick-and-mortar antique store might be your best bet.

3. Research on the platform to narrow down which items sell best

For example, if you’re using Poshmark to resell brand-name clothing, follow some of the top sellers and keep an eye out for which brands are selling the fastest and at the highest price. You should also research selling price points to decide how to price your items. That will help you decide what to buy for resale based on what will get you the highest profit.

Pro tip: consider selling something you’re knowledgeable about

For example, if you’re an expert in designer denim, you’ll have an easier time identifying good deals on jeans that you can resell. On the other hand, you could also choose items with the highest profit margin and educate yourself. For example, you might get into the lucrative sneaker trade, and start researching brands that sell for the highest price on eBay. You can then find out when new styles are being released and where they’ll be sold to make sure you get a piece of the pie.
Where do I resell my items?
The best place for reselling will depend on the items you’ve chosen to resell. But even then, your options will run from the virtual to the traditional storefront. Here are some of the popular options you have for reselling:

• Apps:
  • Poshmark
  • Tradesy
  • Vinted
  • Mercari
  • Grailed
• Websites:
  • eBay
  • ThredUp
  • Amazon
  • TheRealReal
  • Craigslist
  • Etsy
  • 1stdibs
• Brick-and-mortar stores:
  • Antique stores
  • Vintage furniture stores
  • Second-hand stores
    • Crossroads Trading Co.
    • Buffalo Exchange
  • Used bookstores
  • Specialty stores
• Your personal e-commerce site:
  • Shopify
  • Ionos
  • Squarespace
  • Wix

Different stores and sites are better suited for some kinds of items than others. For example, fashion reselling will be more successful on Poshmark than on Amazon, while electronics reselling is better for eBay than an antique store.
Also, note that these various platforms have different fees and commission structures that might influence your decision on where to sell. It may take some exploration of a few different apps, sites, and stores available to you to find the best spot to resell your items.
10 good things to buy and resell

1. Brand-name clothes: Think coveted brands like Madewell, Kate Spade, and True Religion. These will be best sold on an app like Poshmark or ThredUp.
2. Shoes: There’s a good market for limited-edition sneakers, such as Adidas and Nike styles, on eBay. You might also sell popular brands like UGG on an app like Tradesy or high-end designer shoes like Christian Louboutin on TheRealReal.
3. Handbags: High-end designers like Chanel, Gucci, and Prada will likely sell best on TheRealReal, while designers such as Marc by Marc Jacobs and Longchamp sell like crazy on Poshmark.
4. Books: You can sell textbooks, collector’s editions, signed books, and more online at Amazon or at your local used bookstore. Bookscouter is also an excellent tool for selling old books, and you can use the platform to check the price history of a particular ISBN in order to determine your selling price.
5. Toys: Trading cards, vintage action figures and Barbies, Beanie Babies, American Girl Dolls, and other coveted and old-school toys can sell for a lot of cash on eBay. You might be surprised what you’ll be able to find for pocket change at a garage sale and resell at top dollar.
6. Vintage electronics: Cameras, record players, and vintage audio equipment can all sell extremely well on eBay and Amazon.
7. Video games and consoles: If you’re still holding onto popular consoles or games from the ‘80s and ‘90s, you may be able to sell them for a high return on eBay, Amazon, or at a local used electronics store.
8. Furniture: If you have vintage furniture that’s in great condition, consider using a site like 1stdibs or getting an estimate from a local vintage furniture store. Some stores will also restore old furniture, so if you can find furniture made of solid wood, even if it’s in poor condition, you may be able to flip it for profit.
9. Antiques: You can find antique jewelry, china, decorative items, and more on Craigslist and at estate sales and then sell them online or to local antique stores. Mid-century modern furniture and decor are currently on-trend, so these are great items to look for.
10. Sporting goods: Sporting goods can be expensive, so there’s a high demand for used equipment. Try seeking out used sporting goods stores near you to resell items you find on Craigslist or at yard sales.

-Commonly asked questions about reselling-

Is it legal to buy and resell items?

Typically, it is legal to buy and resell items. However, there are some exceptions:

• Digital media
• Recalled products
• Prescription medications
• Animals
• Tickets to events

There are also a few legal issues to be aware of when reselling items that you have purchased. Note that any warranties that came with the product will be void when you sell it to a new consumer. You should mention this in your product’s description if applicable.
Second, you can’t use trademarked logos or copyrighted photographs, or other media from the original manufacturer without permission.
And finally, there are tax implications. It’s okay to sell items from your closet without making a profit, but if you are flipping items, you’ll need to report what you earn as a capital gain. You’ll also have to charge sales tax on the items you sell in addition to paying sales tax when you purchase them unless you have a resale license. If you use an online marketplace like Poshmark, the buyer will be automatically charged sales tax in accordance with state laws.

What does it mean to be a licensed reseller?

A resale license, which goes by different names depending on what state you live in, permits you to purchase items without paying sales tax and requires you to charge your customer's sales tax. In some states, you’ll need a retail license in addition to a resale license in order to sell items to the public.

What is the difference between a reseller and a distributor?

Distributors collaborate with manufacturers to make the first sale of a product, typically to a wholesaler or retailer rather than directly to a consumer. A reseller, on the other hand, buys products from suppliers and retailers just like a consumer would and then resells them to the public.

What makes someone a good reseller?

To be a good reseller, you’ll need to do your research to understand what will sell well in whichever venue, platform, or marketplace you’re using. Rather than sell anything you can get your hands on, choose a niche or sell items that reflect a certain aesthetic or lifestyle.
If you’re selling online, make sure you take clear pictures of your items, write detailed descriptions, and respond to customer questions and feedback in a timely manner. Package your item neatly, ship it promptly, and include a personal thank you note.
All of these actions can go a long way in increasing your following, your review stats, and the number of sales you make. With these tips and a little bit of effort, I was able to garner more than 475,000 followers on Poshmark and become a top seller.

Is it better to sell on eBay or Amazon?

That depends partly on what you’re selling and whether it’s a better fit for Amazon or eBay. One survey found that more people see sales in the millions when reselling on Amazon, but results can vary. If you already have a following or positive customer reviews on eBay or Amazon, stick with that platform. If you’re new to reselling, choose a marketplace that works well for the item you’re selling, and make sure the commission and fee structure meets your needs.
eBay charges an insertion fee for each listing in each category after your first 50 listings, plus a percentage of the sale determined by the category. Amazon has an individual plan that requires you to pay $0.99 per item sold plus referral fees and variable closing fees, and they also offer a professional plan for a flat $39.99 per month plus referral fees and variable closing fees.
Determine how many items you plan to list and sell each month, and choose the marketplace and plan that’s right for you.

The bottom line on reselling

Whether you’re looking to turn a profit or just clean out your closet, reselling can be a fun side hustle that’s flexible enough to accommodate anyone’s goals. Get started reselling something you’re passionate about, or just sell things you need to get rid of. If you put in the time, effort, research, and strategy, it’s possible to turn your reselling side hustle into a full-time job someday.
Once you start to grow your business, you could expand your product offerings, or you might have to modify the products you sell to meet a changing market. Remember that good customer service is key to operating a successful reselling business. And whether you’re selling snowboards, sneakers, or side tables, as ways to make money on the side or as a major business venture, be persistent and enjoy the process.

Bought a new to me electric forklift at auction. I need one phase. Forklift will be used very sparingly so charge does not need to be fast.

giveaway over! congrats to pending12
I'm no longer making ref income from GetUpside and I'm not making any from S'more either even though my code is in the sticky, but I haven't shared in awhile so here be just a small offering. Leave a top level comment with whatever you like, maybe say how the middle of this year is going.
Here are some craigslist studies going on right now. I do not post “Chances to win” as I believe that EVERYONE should be paid for their time so I only post ones where they pay everyone that qualifies. I sincerely hope this is appreciated as it does take me a bit to compile and sift through dead and garbage links and surveys. As always, if something sounds fishy, don’t do it. I can’t vouch for ALL the links.
PRO TIP: For Research Studies in Your area that pay in cash (there are often quite a lot so too long and too time consuming to post everything from each state here. Would take me all day) go to your craigslist site and type in "research" or "survey" and look under community, gigs or jobs.
Most of these studies pertain to the U.S but there are probably a few that may take international participants if you ask.
FOR RESEARCHERS WHO COME ACROSS THIS POST
First, I hope you are able to deal with the amount of people contacting you. Unfortunately we have no control over bots or false responses.
Second, would you please list more information in your craigslist post? Most of the studies I come across are missing valuable information, such as when the study starts, when it ends, minimum age requirements, location requirements, how you will be contacted if you qualify, how your information is protected, etc. Your research studies often are associated with "higher education" universities so it makes no sense why these details would be left out. Please be thorough so people here know what they are getting into and think of it less to be a scam.
Third, I am on reddit A LOT so if you need a study taken down because of abuse or study is closed, just let me know by either Pming me or chatting me.

I'm starting grad school in Buffalo end of August and need help finding a place. I'm looking all over the internet and can't find somewhere West of main street + South of Amherst that is under $1k and allows large dogs (80 lbs. "non-aggressive" breed and formally trained). I've looked on some Buffalo housing management sites, Zillow, Trulia, Craigslist, and Apartments - still struggling. Since I'm living 2.5 hours away, it's also hard to schedule a viewing and book a place before its snatched up. Any advice, tips, recommendations, offers? Will places open up more between now and mid-Aug?
Do I need to broaden my horizon? Wanting somewhere safe enough to walk everywhere, but still meet people and live life. Also want to be able to commute to North UB easily. Need somewhere with at least 30 min walking distance to some green patch for my dog to poop/pee and run...
Should I extend my radius and consider some other potentially fun and nice neighborhoods, since I'm unfamiliar with the place? Are there specific sites I should look at or realtors I should hire?
I'll be working as well and have good credit, so I feel like I can meet all the requirements but maybe I'm being too picky since I'm living in a "snow globe" right now T_T Anything will be helpful at this point. Thanks.

Hi all! My fiancé is obsessed with Buffalo and proposed by wearing matching Sabres jerseys with my dog. He also loves the Bills, playing hockey, Great Lakes, and the most Midwest winter he can get. I’ve moved around the US and finally got a remote job so he is lobbying hard to move to Buffalo. I’ve lived in NYC for five years and now CO but have been told Buffalo winter is much harsher so I wanted to try it out first.
We have been trying to find a furnished short term rental house (3-6mo) with yard that allows dogs and have exhausted the whole internet (Facebook, Craigslist, Airbnb, furnished finder). Is this going to be possible at all to find? I can find a billion apartments and no houses
We bought a house in VA when I couldn’t find a rental and that’ll take me years to unravel that situation so I wait to rent first. Thanks for any advice!

Looking for the best place to privately sell a used car in Buffalo. Does anyone still used Craigslist? Is Facebook marketplace better? Any thoughts or input appreciated!
Selling a 2013 Jetta. Manual transition and every upgrade a Jetta could have. Also includes separate set of snow tires. Just in case anyone here was interested! Thank you!
