Title: LPT request: How do I buy underpriced items online without tipping the sellers off?
Guid: t3_1jqxzz5
Descr:
How do I snag super underpriced deals on FB marketplace or other platforms WITHOUT tipping off the sellers about what a good deal they are?
I’m good at finding deals. I know my stuff about vintage furniture.
It happens many times I show interest and ask them questions about the item, and then they don’t reply and the next day I see them quadruple the price to the actual value.
Eg I saw a bunch of vintage chairs worth $1000 each and on sale for $20 each. I asked to buy and offered to pick up immediately or the next day.
No reply, then next day they changed the piece to $1000 each.
It’s so frustrating! It has happened many times!
Am I doing something wrong?
What phrases can I use? Do I stop asking questions?
It's a request. Passing.
Title: LPT: When arguing or negotiating with someone, avoid devoting too much mental energy or capacity on rehearsing your exact response or rebuttal. Instead, your focus should be on actively listening to what your respondent is actually saying, and how they’re saying it.

In an argument, we can often panic and cling to one or two key themes that you then try and force yourself to say when you can eventually respond. When it is your turn to speak, you’ll find that rarely is the exact response you thought of even applicable anymore, and so you’re even more panicked when you can’t think of the new response that is required. You’re also likely to miss key ideas or insights that the respondent is saying.
If you dedicate your focus to actively listening to the other person, you’ll be better equipped to respond to any changes in the direction of the argument. You may even be able to use their words/logic against them and better convince them of your position or ideas.
A good analogy is like playing a game of chess. You will never win if you’ve already decided the moves you’re going to make. In reality, you need to focus on what you’re opponent is doing, and what moves they’re then likely to make, that you’ll need to counter.
The best case scenario, is you realise you were both somewhat confused, or have previously miscommunicated, and a mutual resolution is easily achievable.

Guid: t3_1jqwrwo

Do a quick memory retrieval every 20 minutes and you’ll get the same effect as staring at pages for 60 minutes—except you’ll likely save 45 minutes of your precious time.
Memorization happens when you retrieve information, not when you passively read.
Wanna go pro?
Build context with every piece of information. Don’t stubbornly stick to one angle.
Ask yourself: What other content fits into the same field?
Connect ideas—you’ll expand your scope of memorization even further.
Example: If you're learning equations, tackle matrices at the same time.
Don’t wait until you master one topic—link them together in the same sprint.
Still not enough?
Professor Feynman advocated for teaching others what you’ve learned.
Even talking to a camera with a prepared flipchart does the job.
Haha, you must be kidding, Mr. Feynman!
Good luck!
