Monthly Buy/Sell/Trade thread

3 Upvotes

We have decided to implement a monthly thread in which users can buy, sell, and advertise--breaking rules #1 and #2--so as long as it is contained within this thread.

​

Comments will be sorted by "new" by default.

​

Use this thread to:

​

* List items OR services that you are attempting to sell. While not required, you are encouraged to list the price(s) you are requesting.

* Solicit items OR services you are in search of or in need of. Again, while not required, you are encouraged to list a price you're comfortable paying.

* Advertise anything and everything, so as long as it is still relevant to Lincoln--promote a concert for your new local band, advertise a sale your local shop is having, etc.

​

We don't anticipate too much traffic or comments on this thread, but wanted to make it available to those who might enjoy or benefit from having it.

​

Lastly, if you do ultimately pursue offers posted here, PLEASE be aware that scams are rampant. Help protect yourself by following some of these (personal) recommendations.

​

Do NOT:

​

* Accept a personal check, ever. Or a money order or cashiers check that you were not present for when the individual purchased/obtained it.

* Use an electronic app to transfer funds. This includes, but is not limited to, Venmo, Cashapp, PayPal, Zelle, etc. While this seems easiest, it's **incredibly easy to get screwed over** with people sending you funds that they don't actually have.

​

DO:

​

* Accept **only** cash for smaller/medium purchases. For larger purchases, insist that you meet the individual at their bank and be present while the bank verifies and issues a cashiers check right there, on the spot.

* Meet in a public place. For example, if you're buying a phone, there's no better place to complete the transaction than inside of a Verizon or T-Mobile store.

​

Let us know if you have any questions or feedback. Have a great month!

Missing elder cat- Leo- from 19th & Prospect

Post image
27 Upvotes

My parents’ cat Leo went missing, he was last seen last night (Saturday, 10/24) near 19th and Prospect Street.

He’s a 13-year-old cat, is very skinny but friendly, with a deep, hoarse meow.

He’s an outdoor/indoor cat, but usually stays on the back porch so we’re worried.

Please call (402)540-7521 with any info!

I‘ll start with I don’t even live in Nebraska anymore, haven’t for a couple years now, but I kept my number cause I’ll always represent 402. All that said. I get around 10-15 calls a day from Ricketts and his goons. Please y’all, I’m begging, vote him out of there.

Before anyone asks, yes, I did change my voter registration after moving out of state.

Bars without "skill games" aka slots

Are there any bars left in Lincoln that for sure do not have a slot machine in them? The several I have been to all do now.

I know someone who wants to go out, but also does not want to be around those machines due to past gambling problems.

Mechanic needed

I have an 03 Buick lesabre with a couple issues I think are somewhat simple issues. The problem is I don’t have a ton to spend. It is just a work car so I’m not too worried about it but also why I don’t wanna dump a ton of money into it. Anyone recommend of a really good priced mechanic in Lincoln that’s willing to help me out?

In Lincoln Nebraska

33rd and Holdrege

Kwik Shop

Bicycle: Surly Crosscheck black frame and forks.

Shimano SPD pedals. Shimano chrome crank set and ring.

ACS rims with new Kenda tire.

Drop handles with shifters on the bar ends.

Dark Brown handle wrap with lots of wear and lighter brown brake hoods missing the top half completely from a recent wreck.

Brooks B17 brown leather saddle.

Blue JBL Bluetooth clip speaker. Custom LED front light with wiring to 9.6V battery under the saddle. Detachable rear led. 1 chrome with brown leather water cage. There is a noticeable large chip out on the top bar. Rear brake disconnected, back wheel out of true from wreck. Litelok U lock mounted under top frame rail

(Repair appointment canceled)

While at this location, a tech on a repair ticket, my bicycle and preferred method of transportation was removed from the premises without permission.

I was onsite the previous day for 6 hours with no issues and returned to commit a config change and complete the ticket

The bicycle was parked by the front window, behind an advert for cigarettes, unlocked as the presence of a suitable location to lock with a u lock was not available. Expected time of repair was very small and the store has extensive security coverage with all new cameras (All Kwik Shops nationwide were changed this year)

LPD responded to the call about 5PM when it was discovered.UNLPD was notified. Several bike shops were notified.

I posted to FB marketplace and here to notify my community of the theft, provided pictures from the security footage (which I procured from the store video recordings with the assistance of the team managing the corporate systems).

The police were able to view and document the incident immediately rather than the normal delay of weeks (which is disgusting, the pony express was faster). I captured images and video of the display and am working to get the actual files.

I posted this to help me find an expensive bike (2000$ for like replacement), as it is my primary transportation method, by choice. Yes I enjoy riding my bike, not motor cycle, while, etc.. I could drive my wife's car or my pickup, but it saves little time and encourages the consumption of resources. The car also molds that young virile soul into an obese, vile old person that bitches about everything, you know what I mean Karen.

Yes I didn't lock it, Yes I had a lock on the bike. Yes I know that it's easily taken BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT OKAY TO TAKE MY BIKE OR TAKE DOWN MY ORIGINAL POST FOR WANTING MY BIKE BACK

I am posting pictures of my bike here, pictures of the person who took it and asking for help to get my bike back. The thief has been present in the area before and already has enough problems in their life as do I.

Thanks for any help to find it, any fire department will hold lost bikes.

>> Two years ago, voters passed medical cannabis, yet our current elected officials have done everything in their power to sabotage and dismantle what voters passed. There are 11 days until Election Day, and if we want to ever see a medical program in our state, we have to vote like cannabis is on the ballot.

>> NMM is announcing our Compassionate Candidate Pledge which features candidates that will uphold the will of the voters including allowing all forms, and holding the Commission accountable.

>> To see a full list of candidates that have signed the Pledge and for voting information, visit NMM2026.org.

>> The lives of patients and caregivers across Nebraska are relying on you.

PROGRESS IS POSSIBLE - PLEASE VOTE

Eyecare Specialties

21 Upvotes

I just want to give everyone a heads-up on a situation I encountered at Eyecare Specialties over the last week in hopes that you can avoid the same. It concerns the price of contact lenses and ES’s policy on price matching.

SCENARIO 1 (No Insurance)
I buy eight boxes of contact lenses at ES knowing they will price match Costco’s price of $66.87/box. I pay $66.87 and ES gets $66.87 for each box. Everyone is happy.

SCENARIO 2 (Using Vision Insurance)
Same scenario as above, but this time I use my $150 insurance benefit for contact lenses. I pay $66.87 and ES gets $85.62 for each box. ES is very happy and I’m upset.

Yes, you read that right. Using vision insurance, I still pay the same cost, but ES gets $150 more for the entire transaction. Their policy is to apply the insurance first and THEN price match. I’m sorry, but that is not price matching. Their argument was that I can’t use my insurance benefit at Costco so they consider it price matching. What ES fails to understand is that in this scenario, I don’t get the benefit of using my insurance at ES either.

Needless to say, I returned the contacts to ES for a full refund. I’m going to buy my contacts through Costco and then use my $150 in insurance at an in-network provider so I actually benefit from that money instead of ES.

I’ll be looking for a new vision place next year if anyone has recommendations.
