  3. FREE TV, just come pick it up!

    in Other Stuff

    Posted · Edited by SWing'R

    Just upgraded to my first true flat screen tv so I have a rather large 27" tv to get rid of.

     

    It is a RCA DirectView 27" Flatscreen HDTV (model # HD27F754T), it is a crt tv,

    so its rather heavy and takes up a lot of space!  Takes two people to lift it, I shit you not!

     

    It works fine with one exception, periodically the picture will go to a blue screen and you

    have to shut it off and unplug it for a few seconds and then it will work fine again. It's done

    this since we got it, I was just too lazy to take it back to Walmart for an exchange.  It doesn't

    do it too often and it always works after doing the unplug thing.

     

    I have the owners manual and remote.  If you want it, it's yours, just contact me to

    setup a time/day for you to come pick it up.

  5. Considering selling wife's bike.... sell to dealer or individual? What's better?

    I may officially list it for sale here once we decide for sure if we are going to sell it or not, right now not sure.

    There is a place on the south end that buys bikes, Independent Motorsports ( http://www.indmoto.com )

     

    I would consider using it as a tradin towards a cruiser in a couple years but not right now, so not sure if it

    would be better to sell it now for the cash, or hang on to it til im ready to get a cruiser (probably 3yrs,

    gotta pay off a loan first)

    Melissa and I are tossing around the idea of selling her bike since she barely rides it.

    She has fibromyalgia and is dealing with a lot of pain and riding isn't easy for her.

     

    Would it be better to sell to a dealer or look for a individual to sell to??  Where would

    we get the best deal?

     

    We are not sure yet, just kicking the idea around.

     

    FYI, the bike is identical to mine, it's a 2009 Yamaha FZ6R 600cc, has very low miles,

    never been down, in perfect shape.

     

    Also the bike is paid off, haven't picked up the clean title yet but will have it soon.

  8. Best Smartphones?

    I've got this beast for sale right now. I bought it in June as a "spare" phone to be used

    in case I ever have any issue with my primary phone, well I grossly underestimated how

    big a 5.7inch display is.  It's way too big to use as a phone. I've been using it as a mini-tablet

    on my wifi at home to play games and watch videos but I'm looking to sell it to buy something

    more usable lol.

     

    This is a GSM phone that uses a MINI sim. It is unlocked and will work with a Tmobile or AT&T sim.

    Let me know if anybody is interested. Here is a link to the specs...

    Yet the iphones still outsell the droids. I am so disappointed that my iphone does not lock up, run slow or have shitty battery life.....truly truly sucks.

     

     

    "Worldwide, all those companies making Android phones sell a lot more units than Apple sells of the iPhone, says IDC. In the fourth quarter of 2012, Android had more than 70 percent share, vs. 21 percent for the iPhone."

    sParkSnare I see you too have a FZ6R, nice bike ;) I have two blue '09's in the garage.

     

    (didn't mean to thread jack, just never noticed anyone else with a FZ6R here before)

    Agreed, you learn to adapt (I do so by carrying a spare battery with me all the time, and often carrying a small portable battery charger), but I think it absolutely sucks to spend a bunch of money on a great phone, some ridiculous monthly service fee for data, and then not be able to really enjoy it all because the phone dies after 3 or 4 hours of "screen on" time. Without a doubt, battery technology is woefully behind everything else that goes into smartphones.

     

    I got one of them battery tube things, they work nice in a pinch.

    Best plans?

     

    Cdubyah ;)

     

    $49/mo...

    - unlimited voice, txt/mms

    - unlimited data at up to 4G up to 4GB then throttled to 2G but still unlimited

     

    Carrier is a MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) of Tmobile, like Straight Talk and Family Mobile.

    Company is called Solavei. Referal commissions/biz opp.

    "Go to the store and play." - I couldn't agree more. I don't like the Samsung S III or S IV, but many love them - to each his own. The HTC One is definitely my favorite at the moment, but it isn't available on Verizon yet. If I could wait till the new Droids come out, I'd probably wait to see how they stack up vs. the One. My most emphatic recommendation is to focus on battery life, especially if you get a phone that doesn't have a removable battery. If this is your first smartphone, I'd bet you'll be shocked by how short the uptime is compared to a standard/"feature" phone. BTW, congrats on the promotion.

     

    ^^^ Battery life.... the one and only issue I've ever had with my S2. 

    You learn to adapt. Limit use of high drain activities and always have a charger cable in your car ;)

    Booo Verizon and 2yr contracts.

     

    I use a rooted Galaxy S2 with a unlimited,  no contract GSM service

    that uses Tmobile as it's backbone.  I know I know, tmobiles coverage isn't

    the greatest, I get that, but it only runs me $49/mo ($54.20 after taxes) and

    the company pays you commissions monthly for referring others to it.

    Next month, and every month after (so long as my referrals remain members)

    my service will cost me $0 and actually pay me about $5 ;)

     

    My wife is on the same service and uses a LG Optimus L9.
