@Totalanimefan: yeah their desks are super nice. I have one in mind I like.
but I'd need to sell my current desk first.
shipping is gonna be a hassle as we only have ikea in the next town over that's an hour away.

@wildfire: my thread hasn't been very busy.
I haven't done any art due to I got booked with irl commissions so freebs most likely won't happen until event is over and I'm mostly done with commissions

@MoodyB: I've never got anything shipped from them. Is it expensive? I've only ever gone to the stores even if it was far away.
I heard that FB marketplace is also a good place to buy and sell from.

@Totalanimefan: we had planned once to buy from them online and the shipping can be expensive considering
it's an hour away. im not sure how much tho.

we've been doing FB marketplace but only one thing has sold so far.
so it's been kinda hard to sell stuff on there.

@MoodyB: I feel like if there aren't a lot of people in your area, it's harder to sell.
How much is shipping?

@MoodyB: it makes sense that you'd prioritize iRL commissions before freebies on a web site like this. I'm happy to hear you're getting commissions! :3

@Totalanimefan: our town is pretty huge
but we get offers from out of the state. we only do in state pickup.
so we don't do shipping of the items. they have to come and pick it up themselves because shipping big pieces of furniture
is very expensive.


@Wildfire: im hoping it's not a fluke of luck LOL.
considering my laptop is always having issues.
hoping i can eventually replace this laptop with a desktop. for me that is priority
next to my art courses.

@MoodyB: Yeah I would never ship an item through FB. I would set it to pick up only. They can be the ones to pick it up lol

@Totalanimefan: yeah that's what we do lol.
just gonna take a while to get some takers on all the things we are selling.
we are mostly trying to downsize in case we do find a place.

we did find a potential place.
im so on board but everyone is on the fence about it.

@MoodyB: That's good. It takes time to sell things. I wish it was instant though.
Oh that's good news. Maybe they just need to sleep on it.

@Totalanimefan: yeah. i feel that way not just for FB marketplace but also selling my art lolol.

im just worried if we sleep on it too much it'll be gone.
i really like it because laundry room is in the same room as the kitchen
and it may seem weird but as someone with adhd i prefer having it in the kitchen area
and not go through several rooms to get to laundry room. otherwise i just become unmotivated to do laundry lol.

and the floor is wood and i prefer wood flooring.
so im hoping they will go for it.
it also allows pets.

@Wildfire: haha yeah. for what i need, i can't just get the cheapest desktop sadly lol.

that is how i ended up with my bad asus thst only has 4gb ram which barely functions for an artist. and I need at least 16gb ram. so I have to spend a little more.

@MoodyB: Oh, believe me - I get it! It's just amazing how much some of these things can cost... One would think by now that (truly functional) technology would be cheaper than it is. :3

@Wildfire: part of me gets it because certain parts can be more expensive.
but still sucks when you need something better but your broke lol

mine has a bad habit of blue screening and lost many works because of it.

@MoodyB: I was being semi-sarcastic. I do understand why computers are still "expensive" but I don't. At the end of the day, the companies and the industry found a price-point that the public is willing to pay for the technology...

@Wildfire: can't really tell through text lol.
but my desktop is on a bit of the cheaper side. despite it being between $800-900
i have seen some worth $2,000. so it's not the most expensive. but not super affordable for my budget.
but yeah technology be expensive. and i need it in order to work unfortunately.

My cousin actually, he i think he built his own? but he had to replace some of the parts and it costed him...$3000 so
to me just doing the All-In-One im good with LOL.
tho one day i'd love to ask him to help me build one...when im less poor LOL.

i went the all in one route for my desktop just so i could skip the tower all together with desktops lol.
i have no room and it would've been way more expensive.
Laptops are less expensive but im kinda done with laptops for a while.
