Monthly Buy/Sell/Trade thread

3 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!

In this episode, the fight for birdseed intensifies. Male and female Northern Cardinals, House Finches, Baltimore Orioles, and Brown-headed Cowbirds compete for space at the feeder, snatching seed while guarding their spot against other birds.

Are these flock cameras?

Post image
12 Upvotes

There are these new poles with what looks like little tiny speakers on the top. But I was thinking a better explanation would be that they are flock cameras?

I took a screenshot from a video I took on my way home the other day; located on the two roundabout on 68th and the bypass and 27th and the bypass roundabouts.

Wondering if anyone knows and I’ll put them into the DeFlock app

Dancing Lessons for Upcoming Wedding?

Hi everyone!

I have a wedding coming up in October. I’ll be the first one to express how poor my dancing skills are, and am hoping to be more confident for the wedding reception.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where I or both of us can go to get dancing lessons/tips? I’d appreciate any help anyone can provide with this!

Edit: We are based in Lincoln

Free parking

0 Upvotes

I just recently started working in the Haymarket and my job unfortunately does not come with any sort of parking voucher or parking lot or anything. I'd really like to not have to pay 10$ a day simply to work because that adds up fast. Any good free parking spots that aren't a crazy far walk from the Haymarket?

Lazzari’s

28 Upvotes

I have promoted Lazzari’s pizza here as the best in Lincoln and still think that BUT they almost always get our orders wrong. It’s become so bad we’re going to stop going there. The last time it happened we ordered there and ate there and I heard the cashier repeat my order back to me, yet my food and my friends came out wrong. We’ve brought pizzas home and they’re wrong. I just don’t understand how they can mess it up so often. Plus, it’s like they could care less when you say anything.

Are we the only one’s this happens too? We don’t order complicated pizzas but we also never order their specials.

Italian bakery style sandwiches?

20 Upvotes

I stumbled across this little cafe in Omaha, Mercredi Market, over the weekend and had the best sandwich of my life by a landslide. I’m not sure if Italian bakery style is the best way to describe it but basically it was focaccia, mortadella, pesto, burrata, and arugula. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since and to my knowledge we don’t have any spots in Lincoln that do that style of sandwiches, but curious if anyone knows of any spots that I’m just not aware of???

Either way highly recommend Mercredi Market to anyone who’s going to be in Omaha anytime soon!

Looking for Recommendations Navigating Insurance and Health Care

8 Upvotes

I am 21, uninsured. I have a partner who is also uninsured. We live together and with our income combined we make to much for Medicaid. Private insurance is expensive, and we both are working part time jobs while going through school. I am starting my Master's in the fall so hopefully can land a full time job after, while he is going to school still. He has been recently having some back issues due to lifting heavy equipment at work. He also cut his finger badly last week, but we were unable to go to urgent care due to finances. I also am worried for us incase we fall ill or get hurt in anyway. Does anyone have suggestions for low cost facilities or insurance places? I have never applied for insurance before...help please

I’ve looked at the south 27th street construction plans but still am confused as to what is actually happening and how long it’s going to take. It doesn’t look like anything has happened in terms of tearing anything up yet. Just trying to pre plan my school year route based on what’s going on.

Hey! I am looking for a nice event space for a “open-house style” reception. This would be about 3 hours where people pop in and out and grab some brunch whilst saying their congrats. Ideally would like this to be under $400, with tables and chairs and allow our own food/drink. Thanks!
