The Jazz Out: 4000 Posts of Holo to Lure Him Back

I get the feeling that eBay is aware that the China sellers do this crap and they protect them to soak up more fees.

that's the feeling I'm getting.

You might inquire if they're the shipping carrier since it's a prepaid label.

I figure it's the same for bootlegs. I understand not dealing with them when they haven't been reported but eBay doesn't do anything when they're reported either.

My local public library has a photo copier sitting there. There's a USB port on it as is common on like all printers for the last decade, slap in a thumbdrive with your desired print saved as a pdf and hit print. Seriously just save your label as a pdf and look around, I guarantee you can find somewhere to print it.

there is but last time I was there I didn't see them offering printing

That's odd.

Good point, the library here does as well. The first few prints used to be free but I don't know if that's still the case.

Are you sure the po doesn't have printing? You might have to ask if they don't have any notices up about it.

yep pretty sure they really don't offer shit.
I'm just going to accept my loss on this one. I will invest in a printer newegg is advertising a sale around the 5th and amazon has prime day on the 12th-15th so I'll see if I can get a printer for $30 or less and avoid this situation in the future.

I've never heard of the USPS offering printing, but I have a friend that has worked with them for many years. I will ask him next time I am talking to him.

I don't remember if I brought this up yet or not DL, but I was playing quite a bit of pc engine the last couple days and got to thinking about it. The 3 button controller is actually the best controller by far. The 6 button controller works with maybe 20 games and when it can't function as a 6 button controller has to be switched to 2 button mode or games won't work iirc. The 3 button controller actually offers completely different functionality. What it does is you map the third button to select or run with a switch on the controller. This is incredibly handy as many games use the select or run button in interesting ways to bypass the fact that the pce controller only had 2 buttons.

Those printers are juuuunnnk. It will run out of ink in like a hundred sheets (less with labels that eat ink), and then you'll have to spend $50 on ink. And you can't just not print, after 5 years or something the ink cartridge will dry up its own. Also they just fail for no reason at all.
If you print really infrequently, like just return labels, you should find someplace to print. It costs like $0.25 a sheet, I'm sure there's *somewhere*. If you print a little more it's kinda worth it to spend $50 on ink, it's not a significant savings, but convenience is worthwhile.

One of my best junk finds was a working laser printer. Cord was damaged so it can only be used in network mode but it's been an absolute trooper. Not having to worry about ink and random shit breaking has been a joy.

The cord was fine, they ripped the USB socket off of the PCB .

That's why you only buy printers that can accept cheap knock off ink . Print quality takes a hit but it's minor.

Stinks on the keyboard. Chinese sellers shipping within the US tend to be located in Cali/Florida/NY. I avoid them like the plague most of the time.
