Crunchers Helping Crunchers

I'll have to look at how to restrict my buyers and about the 'hold' on funds. When I log into my PP I see the funds and there doesn't seem to be any apparent hold (my profile is complete w/ all req. information submitted on PP). Maybe I'm already vetted as far as the $ is concerned?

That seems to be what i am thinking. I also believe that once the Ebay buyer sends positive feedback to the seller the funds are "released". As to why if I buy something I am sure to test it right away and send feedback immediately. It is something Ebay and Paypal came up with to help protect buyers a little more. The last few times I sold on there I seem to remember funds pending for a little more time then usual.

Any cruncher want to give me advice on selling on eBay? Don't want to make a thread and just had a couple quick questions.

As a new seller, are there any things I need to know about that are obvious scams?

I listed an item, priced it under the cheapest one currently listed (and provided free Pri Shipping) and it sold in less than a few minutes after going live. Buyer has hundreds of feedback 100%, paid via PP, and has a confirmed address. I purchased the shipping straight from the USPS partnership on Ebay's site and will drop the package off Monday. I should be golden, right?

Everything sounds good from what you said.

Not sure about what you sold or the price, but for an item of $250 or more, PP requires signature confirmation in the case of an unfortunate event.
(at least that was the case last I checked)

Shipping via USPS requires a signature for items over $200 on it's own Matt - maybe that's what you were thinking of?

Only scams I've come across were people bidding in team where one bids very low and the other bids high enough to scare off any other buyers, then withdraws their bid at the last minute. I don't sell to the winner and I report both to ebay like a boss.

Eh, maybe... who knows. It was a while ago when I looked it up.

Anyone interested in trading a 2 x 8GB ECC DDR3 kit for 2 x 8GB non-ECC DDR3?

I shouldn't have mentioned the signature bit. What's additional is the requirement for identification when they sign. Otherwise pretty much anyone can sign for the package. Sorry for the confusion.

Is anyone on here that is avid coin collectors? If so shoot me a PM. I have a couple of questions regarding a pretty rare quarter dollar.

In the past, I've only dealt with proof coins from the US Mint. And I wasn't really collecting them as much as making an investment. But I sold almost everything a couple years ago just after gold peaked.

The requirement is now at $750. I believe it was changed about mid last year.

@theonedu, everything looks good. You printed the item from ebay so the tracking info is automatically uploaded to the buyer and to paypal. The paypal devil will release your funds (if the holds are on hold) 3 days after delivery is confirmed.

Anybody have a WIN 7 Ultimate key? I desperately need one for the Challenge. I have a Core 2 Duo waiting for it. It has XP but it won't connect to my USB Hotspot. Plus, XP is too ancient for my needs. I want to be able to surf the net safely and have a VM, or Dual Boot, with Ubuntu.

Thanks!!

Anybody?

Little change in the cruncher I'm gathering parts for. The PSU I have for it is no longer big enough. Anyone have a 600 watt or more PSU with 2 x 8 Pin EPS 12V they are willing to trade for a bnib CX430?

Try @BUCK NASTY - he mentioned possibly having one available....

Need a couple ethernet cables- for sure one that is about 3-6ft. Could also use a 35ft one- less of a priority though. TIA

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

@theonedub pm me your addy dude. I have a 3 to 6 foot cable I can send you.

I think I asked this question in the past, but dang if I can remember or find the question/answer:

Does BOINC run on Microsoft Server 2012 R2 Essentials?

I've had it installed on Server 2012 Std, so I would imagine it runs on Essentials too.

So I got my hands on an old Xeon setup. (dual x5482 Quad core cpu at 3.2Ghz and D5400XS Motherboard). I'am thinking that it will be my new(old) crunching rig, but I am missing a few parts. Anybody has a power supply, ddr2 memory, or e-atx case? Do you guys think it is a good investment, or should I just throw the thing away? It was functional when my friend dismantled it last year. He was tired of seeing it picking up dust and wanted to throw it away.

That is where I came in and rescued the poor thing from a certain death, but I need your help bringing it back to life, or deciding to let it rest forever!
(I am in Canada, 25 minutes away from the NY and/or VT border)

Boinc says system requirements for Windows are Windows 2000 SP5 or XP SP2 or later. I can tell you it was not stable on my installation of WHS v1, which is a half-breed mix of Vista and Server 2003. I would think Server 2012 R2 should be fine since it is based on the same code as 8.1 - as we all know 8.1 runs pretty well with Boinc.




EDIT: Anyone need a S1366 chip to get a rig running?

I maybe looking for a 6 core 1366 chip to upgrade my I7-920

If a team member is looking to unload a 1155/1150 i7 or Xeon chip, please keep me in mind. Preference would likely be a cheaper 1155 since I already have a z68 mobo. It'll be a few weeks before I can make the move, but I'd appreciate a holler about it
