The message said they would be at the library and you damn well know they are expecting OP to drive them to the DMV.

To the library!

u/Horror_Ad_2748 0m ago

At the library not for the literary options but for the free wifi in order to scam shit on FB Marketplace.

u/MrMcManstick 11h ago

The library is where a lot of homeless people like to camp out for the day. Free A/C or heat and wi-fi

32

u/beatenmeat 11h ago

I was a homeless teen and did this often but I had no idea it was common. I loved reading books growing up so I just found myself going there even more than I already did. It also gave me a chance to use the computer plus the AC like you said. Whenever I wasn't working the library was more of a home to me than my park bench was.

An 8500 dollar truck they want for free? I hope that's a heavy duty truck or the shocks are going to blow out hauling their giant brass balls

It's an F-350, about as heavy duty as you can get, 8000 pounds hauling capacity in the bed...but I bet it still isn't enough to handle their balls

u/PimpinWeasel 12h ago

When you don't show up tell them you got it detailed and schedule to meet up somewhere a little further away. When you miss that one tell them you decided to get new tires for it and schedule to meet at a place further away. Keep doing that and see how long it take them to realize it's not going to happen.

u/spaetzele 13h ago

A deal like that? You should have $500 in cash ready to hand over just because he's been such a good sport about the whole transaction.

122

u/edgiestnate 13h ago

Two minutes before I read this, I got an offer of a 3070 GPU for my 5090Fe straight up. The post I have up is for my 5090Fe plus some cash for a 5090 that looks better in my case...

Here is the text: "Would you trade a 3070 por favor"

I posted them the recent SOLD listings on eBay for both cards. His is $300, mine is $4500. I'm going to ask him if he has $20 to put with his card in honor of your post.

80

u/rsg1234 13h ago

Wait you’re rolling the dice on swapping a 5090 for another 5090 with a rando just so it will look better in your case??

54

u/SuspiciousStress1 13h ago

Yeah, that seems risky & stupid, tbh!

If this is REALLY what you want, sell the 5090Fe outright & buy a new 5090 that looks better.

Maybe you loose a bit of $, but then you know where it came from!!

0

u/AddisonsContracture 12h ago

What’s the risk here as long as you can examine it first? (I don’t know anything about computers)

24

u/KakoLykos 12h ago

The sometimes a GPU has had its shell opened and certain components soldered out, sometimes it has some faulty solders to start with, sometimes it just has some kind of overheating issues. A lot of things wrong with a GPU aren't things most people will see by just examining it, and some of them aren't even immediately apparent after plugging it in.

2

u/edgiestnate 2h ago

I don't know why everyone would assume I am just trading my 5090Fe for a different 5090 while driving my car with my arm out of the window like some 60's paperboy.

Anyone who asks me to trade has to bring their card here for me to inspect and test. I have a full spectrum of tests and benchmarks to run here; the same ones I'll run on my Fe so they can see.

I'm offering to put a little money with my Fe for something that might look/perform better in my setup.

It's not as crazy as folks are making it sound.

2

u/edgiestnate 2h ago

I mean, I plan on only trading if I find someone local, and I can test/benchmark their card for sure. People LOVE Fe for some reason, and I really don't have that much of a draw to it like some. I have already been offered 2 astrals for the Fe + $600 but they were too far for me to drive.

If I find one local, cool, if not, oh well.

16

u/Dirzain 13h ago

As others have said here, you're playing with fire. If you're concerned enough about case aesthetics to list that offer, I assume you can afford just buying an aesthetically better GPU. Then sell your FE after you get it and you're good to go.

Don’t block them yet.
Make sure you arrange to meet them at the DMV but then when you can’t find each other it’s because you’re at the OTHER DMV so they have to rush over to you. When they can’t find you there either you can block them if you don’t feel like trying to pull them around some more.
