  1. Post #17000! :D
  2. Oh, I didn't realize :D

    ---------------------------
    You'll have to look a little bit harder to find the number here :)

  3. Huh, what kind of connection is that for the headset?

    Welcome to the game. :D

  4. That looks like a phone line, a smaller and slower version of an ethernet cable. :)

  5. I'm someone who has had experience with this kind of "service", and I must say that I do agree! Speaking from AliExpress experience: often you have a friendly person in the chat (not via email) and they can usually sort something for you out quite well. :) Yes, they might have messed up somewhere in the first place, but if they can solve it properly, then I don't think it's necessary to "downvote" them or their product, as that has a direct influence on the sales. :)

  6. Probably the same connector that is used for most handsets, like these:

    The connector is very similar to the connector you use to connect your telephone to the network, but a little bit thinner.

  7. :D

    Hmm, sadly there are three numbers on this picture... :p

    :D



    I also found these two pictures of the locomotive that belongs to these carriages. :)





    And, in order to clearly show the number, let's have this dog. :D

  8. Thanks!

    I have also done this thinking when someone from eBay offered to give me my money back in exchange for a full star rating. However, after I had agreed to it I found out that there were actual criteria to rate upon. I couldn't rate 5 stars on "Item as described" when the item had the wrong description. :confused:
    So yeah, they got mad at me, because not only had I given them a bad rating, they had also used up a revision request, which are apparently expensive; I looked it up now, and it seems like they are indeed to be used very sparingly: "You can make 5 feedback revision requests per calendar year. For every 1,000 feedback ratings you receive during the year, you can make 5 additional feedback revision requests." So yeah... oops. :D But I am not going to lie!

    So you've caught up now? I received less than 20 likes from it. :p

    15949:

    This is a close-up of the following crane, that was auctioned by the City of Houston in 2015:

    Its starting bid was $1000, and over 16 bid, that rose to $9700.
  9. I would say that the "115 * 1595" warrants substeps, rather than the 0 removal substeps. :p

    15952:
    Edit: I just read the entire publication (get it by clicking the screenshot), and it's way shorter than you'd expect. xD
  10. So I'm back...

  11. Welcome back! :D

    There is a Noch thing... buuutt it's basically that previous thing but then visualised with figurines.... uuuhh.... :p

    So I guess you'd rather have this train carriage. :D



    And the number here. :D
