Whenever these wooden keyboard threads come up, I start thinking about a steampunk Model F in copper and hammered black.

That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Interesting to look at. Makes me want to build something, just not buy something.

May I respectfully point out that this seller has 1408 feedback, 92.3% positive.

So true, never deal with sellers with a low feedback score because it will always come home to bite you when dealing with them  ::) .

As someone who has been bitten more than once, I can say that the temptation isn't worth it.

Anything under 99% positive feedback or 25 positives, you really need to resist temptation to buy. Too often I have been suckered because a fairly new seller or a seller with 98% positive feedback offered something interesting or nice.

The risk is NOT worth it.

Good thing I did not know this when I started.

My first dozen buyers got some really great deals and I had a lot to sell, so that was all behind me very quickly. My first hundred sales came in less than a month, but I was in a selling frenzy.

But, to address this issue, the best way to start out, today, would be to make a lot of small purchases. There are a lot of sellers, especially Chinese sellers, in my experience, who post positive feedback immediately after you pay them.
