Is Reebelo a SCAM?

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

I do like companies and organizations that plant trees as a way to offset their carbon footprint, since more trees does equal less carbon dioxide in the air, however there's one thing that many don't realise and get a bit wrong. You can't just plant a bunch of trees and that's it. A charity fundraiser in my town helped plant over 1,000 trees, but they literally just planted them all in rows in a field and that was it ... and all the trees died. You have to make sure you employ the services of an arborist to actually _care_ for the trees, help provide supports for their trunks as they grow from saplings into more mature trees, and trim and fertilize them properly and make sure they don't succumb to disease or pests. So just saying you "plant a tree for every purchase" doesn't exactly say much - you need to provide more details and make sure you do it properly, not just plant some saplings and hope for the best.

[@maxnum1sgameclub263]

You indeed need a plan instead just doing things. Things like soil quality water amounts and hours of sunlight are a huge deal. This is why i prefer to donate to people who buy up and protect parches of nature (woods/rainforests/wetlands etc etc). Bc then you know its good straight away ^^.

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

@@maxnum1sgameclub263 Yeah same. Even better when they help support "old growth" forests because those - especially in the UK - are in desperate need of protection and more funding so we don't lose what little older forests that we still have. All new is good, don't get me wrong, but already-established places need funding too!

[@GhillieGames]

I just got a 2020 m1 MacBook Air for 450 off eBay. Definitely a better deal than that 2018

[@bubbledoubletrouble]

These companies practically never physically plant a tree themselves. They just pay some small amount of money per sale to another company that handles that sort of thing.

[@79huddy]

Man I got one of those free pine-tree saplings from school as a kid it is like 30 foot tall with a triple main lead and no real top because it got ran over by the riding mower atleast a dozen times and hit by lighting once only thing I've ever done for it is ratchet strap the leads back together after the lighting split it you all must be planting some week ass trees or something

[@iMoha46]

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

There's also some good ones though. VIPOUTLET comes to mind. They go into these not knowing what to expect and in that case they got nothing but gems to the point that everyone stopped filming and were trying to snatch up stuff on there lmao. They should do a follow-up and see if they're still good because I have my eye on a refurbished Tab S6 Lite off there

Hard disagree, I love ebay for refurbished items that are low-risk or being peddled by the manufacturer (low-risk used chairs or dyson selling its own appliances as examples). But for sensitive and important items like phones and computers are usually not worth it unless dealing with a refurbishing company like Reebelo on Ebay itself and if you do that you're basically engaging with a higher-risk version of Reebelo anyways.

I still have the LG, I returned the Xbox.

iPhone's not too bad of a deal to go pristine if you factor in the time and cost of fiddling around swapping the battery yourself. Batteries gonna run you like $40-50; maybe $20 more if you need to fix anything else cosmetic. like glass or a backplate or whatever.

ngl the gaming chromebooks, and just chromebooks in general are great now. with how performant the chromebook plus/gaming devices are getting (and how much better the OS runs on lower end hardware than windows), and how great the linux and android app support has gotten, it's hard to beat the value of a chromebook when shopping under 500 USD for a laptop. Hell, i've got steam installed on mine and i'm playing through portal 2 again with no performance concerns on high graphics (notably: not streamed, actually installed on it), which none of the windows devices available for the cost I got mine at would be able to do. 240 for that is a pretty good deal, because I think the lowest cost i3 based chromebook new is like 400 USD as of this comment.

Acting like you can get a read on a person's personality, and the entirety of their opinion on a topic from a single comment is rather short-sighted. edit: additionally, running the game at 2k high settings on a hardware config that would struggle to run the same game at 720p medium in windows is impressive performance, despite the game's age. windows is poorly optimized for performance on lower end hardware, which is not something chromeOS struggles with nearly as much (a pentium and 8gb ram is almost but not quite usable for windows, but is more than enough for the same tasks in chromeOS).
