    Neighbor across the street had the same last year.  They worked a couple hours after dark to get it finished.  The boss or owner sat in his truck and watched the full time they were there without lifting a finger.    


    Close that border of yours and the price quadruples and the fat lazy American in the truck eating McNuggets will be the guy doing the job next time.

    Nah, he's not.  "Primary offense" is definitely a thing.

     

    How Are Primary and Second Violations Different?

    Before we get into the specifics of which traffic offenses are primary and which are secondary, let's take a look at why the distinction matters.

     

    In short, a primary—but not a secondary—violation gives police authority to stop a vehicle.

     

    The purpose of the primary and secondary labels relates to an officer's authority to investigate each type of violation. In order for a police officer to lawfully initiate a traffic stop of a moving vehicle, the officer generally must have reasonable suspicion to believe the driver has violated the law in some way.

     

    However, not all violations give police authority to stop a vehicle. For violations that are categorized as primary offenses, the officer can initiate a traffic stop based solely on that violation. But a secondary offense, on the other hand, doesn't authorize police to stop a vehicle. Basically, some states have decided that secondary offenses are so minor that they don't warrant the temporary detention that results from a traffic stop. 

     

    Secondary violations can only be investigated and charged if the driver was already stopped for a separate primary traffic violation. For example, an officer can issue a seatbelt ticket (which is usually a secondary violation) to a driver stopped for unlawful speeding (typically, a primary violation). But the officer can't stop a driver and issue a seatbelt citation if the driver committed no other traffic violations that are categorized as a primary offense.

     

     

     

    Virginia law:

    No law-enforcement officer shall stop a motor vehicle for a violation of this subsection. No evidence discovered or obtained as the result of a stop in violation of this subsection, including evidence discovered or obtained with the operator's consent, shall be admissible in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding.


    Being a thing and cops doing whatever they want are 2 different things.

    From my understanding, Tags don't hold value or appreciate like Rolex and some other brands, but some vintage ones might bring decent money.


    Spot on other than older ones bringing decent money. Not really. Unless we are talking about the late 1800 early 19 models. Which were pocket watches.  Everything else - not really.

    Ok, so this was all handled automatically by eBay?

     

    Right down to the mandatory shipping label to their chosen authenticator.  Then you get a tracker... that not only tracks the package with FedX - but "the authenticator is currently inspecting your item and should be done in 2 hours, please come back.

    So this is like that escrow thing that used to be popular for large eBay sales in the 90s and early 2000s?  They hold the cash and check the product, then complete the transfer?  Was that fee included in those fees above?  I hadn't heard of this being a thing lately, but it may solve a problem.  I've still got a bunch of my mom's jewelry that was once worth something, and now seems worthless according to the online buyer/reseller companies.  And it's so hard to authenticate and all, though I do have certificates for some.  It's all in a pile, nobody has sentimental attachment (other than the primary items like wedding rings).

     

    Like, how did you get started with listing an item that needs this service?

     

     

    Needs this service.... it's MANDATORY. I have no choice.  I don't even get the buyers address.  Let me check on the fee. 

     

  7. It seems so. I still got a couple thousand for it but damn - I’d hate to see the price tag to sell a really expensive item. 
     

    Surprised they are still in business. Maybe I’ve just not kept up with the newer, less expensive alternative places to sell stuff on. I mostly throw stuff out these days. 
     

    About to toss $400 Fiat seat covers and a $300 car cover because of this. 
     

    Maybe I can find someone who has a Miata that wants it. 

  8. It's amazing that you take every opportunity to put down most anything that you don't do or follow.

     

    How's the nutritional profile on the booze and cigars you enjoy?  How does that compute with looking for a breakfast with a healthy profile the next morning?

     

    Best of luck in your search.

    But now I wonder if there's something like that with a decent nutritional profile.

     

    I know, I know... "you new here?"

    A friend shot a buffalo and shared.  I mixed it with a bit of garlic and some of Dion's home-made Worcestershire sauce that he sent me a while back.  It's aging well.  Moriah is allergic to beef so buffalo or Beyond burger are her only options.  She loves this buffalo.  Roasted potatoes with South American sazón and home made Peruvian mayocaba beans with a bit of maple and brown sugar.
