Monthly Buy/Sell/Trade thread

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!

Treasures in Gateway…

Upvotes

Has Nazi shit. Literal Nazi shit. We went in to check out their sunglasses, and some other things, and we found a keychain with the Nazi Eagle saying something like ‘fight for trump’

Just to be clear, I am calling it a Nazi thing because of a Nazi Eagle, not because trump.

I didn’t think to get a picture, we are queer so we got the fuck out, since we don’t feel safe there.

Two vehicles collide near car wash, no injuries…

… you don’t say. This intersection is the worst. Law enforcement could have a hay day just by sitting at this intersection for one day.

Christmas tree donation

Upvotes

Where is the best place to donate a 3 year old, like new Christmas tree around here? These things aren't worth trying to sell and my gosh it is a gorgeous tree that wasn't cheap. Pre-strung with multi color lights that can change to white. I remodeled this year and it won't fit. Is there a women"s shelter or something?

Looking for used mannequins

Upvotes

I'm cooking up a project for Halloween and I'm in the market for 2-3 mannequins (with heads). I'd rather buy some old and junky looking ones. Does anyone know a store looking to unload some creepy looking ones?

Men’s caps and hats

Upvotes

Where in Lincoln can you buy men’s hats and caps? Not ball caps or cowboy hats, more of a flat cap or drivers cap, maybe a fedora?
Snark if you must, it is Reddit after all

Edit: I did internet searches, results were pretty useless

Husker Food

Upvotes

We have family from Grand Forks coming in for the UND game. I haven’t been down tailgating for a hot minute. We’ll have kids with us from 4 to 13 years old. We’ll hit some of the regular tailgates and bars where kids are allowed. Head over to Hawks Champions Center for the kids. Wondering if there is anything else notable that’s cool for someone from out of town we should walk through.

Then, food. There’s the regular restaurants, sure. But anything for game day? Regular food trucks, anything on campus/union? Bonus points for unique to Nebraska/Lincoln.

I need a new suit ready by Friday. Emsud's is my first choice but they're closed today. Has anyone been able to purchase a suit from Emsud's and have it tailored and ready to wear with such a short turn-around?

If Emsud's isn't able to help, what are your recommendations for a nice suit purchased and tailored in just a few days?

Insane amount of cops on G street.

Upvotes

19th and G by Super C gas station. There’s at least six if not more cop cars, and then further down on Randolph by Cultiva there’s three or four more. Everyone from all the apartment buildings over here are outside watching. I haven’t heard anything. Unfortunately as I type this I’m being accosted by a drunk and/or high guy who’s threatening s*icide. This neighborhood rules.

Best BBQ, Best Thai, Best Pizza

Upvotes

I’m traveling to Lincoln from the east coast this week to visit my son at UNL. Looking for recommendations for BBQ, Thai and Pizza in Lincoln. This is my 8th trip to Lincoln in 15 years. I’ve had both awesome and average BBQ at Mulberry’s BBQ. Canyon Joe’s has great reviews. Only had Valentino’s at Husker games. Never ventured out for Thai. I’ll obviously be eating some Runza. Bonus: Spending a night in Omaha and looking for breakfast recommendations too.

I'm trying to find local high school students in eastern Nebraska who are into programming. I'm building an app for the Congressional App Challenge and want to find a local partner to team up with for the submission. Are there specific school clubs or local discords I should check out? Let me know if you or someone you know is interested!

Spiders

Upvotes

My partner and I recently moved to town and have discovered that our apartment appears to have a spider problem. We love where we live and management is great (so it isn’t a slumlord issue, ha) but we are wondering if anyone else has dealt with spider management before. If so, what did you use to help? I haven’t gotten a good look at them, so not sure what type of spider they are either.

Someone at Scheels had a normal one

Upvotes

Went to Scheels today. Heard screaming from the parking garage, didn’t hear much other than the word “liberal” and “psychos.” Probably none of my concern but you gotta wonder how we got here at Scheels
