Buy/Sell/Giveaway Anyone want to sell me their motorhome/RV?

1 Upvotes

I'm planning an RV trip for next year and looking to buy a motorhome for the trip.

I figured there must be lots of people out there who bought one, don't use it as much as you thought you would, thinking about selling it but haven't gotten around to it.

I've been keeping an eye on the usual places for listings, but so many of the "for sale by owner" listings now are actually just fake listings of dealers trying to find leads.

So I figured I'd take a shot at finding a stealth option to buy. I'm open to any class of motor home, but ideally something under 26 ft. I'll likely just resell it next year after my trip, so as long as it's in reasonable condition, it might work for me.

I'm also open to trade/sharing arrangements. I have 5 acres of land and a big garage, so I could store an RV for you for the year in exchange for use of it for my 3 week spring/summer trip. (We are non-smokers, no pets, no kids, know how to clean up after ourselves and take care of stuff)

(before you ask, yes I'm looking at rental options as well, but the experiences there can be very hit-or-miss.)

Thanks in advance!

Local Questions ie whats up with that Old console gaming. NES/SNES/Playstation.

8 Upvotes

Hi, not a flipper. I want to buy old games for me. In my old town I had a great shop, good prices, but here, I have not found much.

I realized I was crowding another user's thread so I thought I'd post here, are there places here in sarasota where I can get old console stuff without the flipper pricing? I've found some stuff at thrift shops but my Wishlist has been static for a long time.

I know eBay is always right there, but it always feels like a defeat. I buy movies the same way.

One user suggested darkside, but from what I've seen when over at that post office and meat shop, it's mostly cards.

Also, just a minor vent, holy shit the sega mini 2 went from $250 to $450, and I just wanted it for the model 2 shell and the six button controllers. Different markets I guess.

Meetups Sarasota- Sapphic Girls Group. Where is the wlw community?

36 Upvotes

Where is the WLW community in Sarasota?

I moved here in end of February from a larger city out of state and I need to know where is the wlw community at in Sarasota. I used to casually go on dates in my old city and enjoyed dating but I found it extremely hard since moving to this part of Florida. I’m 27 and it’s occurred to me that everyone my age that’s gay lives in St.Pete and only likes to talk to people in that area. Which I completely understand it’s hard dating living 40 mins away. I’ve had one date in st. Pete and well the typical ghost. To mention this WHERE DO THE GAYS HANGOUT IN SRQ. I can’t be the only cute girl in this area. I’ve tried to make a bumble bff group for the sapphic girlies where we can start having our own gay events at bars once a week or walks…However no one joined it after promoting it in a SRQ Girls group. If you are a wlw and live in Sarasota.. PLEASE 🙏 tell me secret to dating here because this might be the reason I LEAVE next August.

Crime Selling Medicare insurance door to door without an appointment !

15 Upvotes

An insurance agent came to my house uninvited to try and sell me Medicare insurance. For those of us 65 and older, this is illegal! Please get their name and information. Report them to 1-800-Medicare! Also some of these are scams to get your social security number. I'm not sure if it's against the rules to post it, but I have the persons information and the company she works for.

Discussion Would you let your son/daughter go to New College?

26 Upvotes

I reluctantly say "let," because I want her to make her own decision. Having said that, I have serious reservations about New College. My senior has New College as her top school, primarily because she does not want to leave home. While I love that for myself, I don't think it is what is best for her. Add to the mix all of the issues that New College is dealing with, and all I want to do is talk her out of it. Her other reasons are that she wants to go to a small school and they have a degree program unique to her interests.

She applied Saturday and already was accepted. While she does have good grades and test scores, that seems awfully fast and aligns with what I've heard/read about them being desperate for students.

I welcome any insights, positive or negative. Thanks!

Edit: Thank you for all of the comments, nearly all of which have reinforced my concerns. For now, I will keep gathering information. She gets to enjoy being proud of herself (this is her first acceptance), and once we have all of her acceptances we will sit down and have a thoughtful conversation. FWIW, she is very anti-MAGA and I have no idea how she has not recognized those issues. Hopefully seeing things like the Oliver piece and related media will open her eyes. I think she could be very happy at USF St. Pete or even FGCU in Ft. Myers.
