YES this was a total scam, lol. I never actually contacted them but when I searched for the ad again, I came across multiple identical ads posted under different accounts, all signed up to Meta within a year or so.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...c-f1ba7f2610e6

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...c-f1ba7f2610e6

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...c-f1ba7f2610e6

I ended up getting a used Alesis Recital Pro for $400 including bench and stand. It gives my wife the weighted hammer keys, gives my son something to learn on, and the price was reasonable.

I feel like Alesis is a Hyundai or Kia, while Casio or Yamaha are BMW and Mercedes. But it meets our needs!

Scam ads are so bad on FB right now. I was looking for a rower and I was between a water rower and a Concept2. The number of fake ads was crazy, I don't even know why they bother.

Nowadays if I am looking for something on FB, if the poster account is created within the last 6 months I don't bother. I would report these scammers and FB would do nothing about it.

Online fraud is so annoying. I'm trying to setup ads on Reddit but I don't think I'll actually do it. Most user reports indicate the majority of clicks on reddit ads are bots. Total waste of money. Reddit does nothing about it.

I'd argue Williams is more like Kia. Alesis would be Chevy.

Casio and Yamaha would be Honda and Toyota, as they both have low and high end offerings (Honda / Acura & Toyota / Lexus)

Dexibell would be BMW

Nord would be Mercedes

I've overthought this clearly

I missed out on contributing. Couldn’t read a post for 2-3 days. I’ll contribute when the annual fee comes up.

We're still waiting on 3 more payments out of the 8 who pledged. I don't want to bother people with reminders so soon, but I'll send some out tomorrow since there are others like you who are eager to take their place

I'm down to contribute as well if needed. I'm not able to be on here as much as I used to but I'll try to remember to check in over the next couple days.

Out of curiosity how much does RS bring in via ads especially as so many people use ad blockers? Is the cost to run this site low enough that we can just crowd source the funds needed to keep it around?

I would springboard on top of that to ask what the roadmap is for Revscene. Is the intention to keep the forum open to only existing users? Or are there plans to revive it back to its former glory?

Anyone have a oil drum in their garage, and get it picked up when needed?

I called GFL, they offer drum pickup / or pump out for 140-180$.

55Gal, thats about 20 oil changes for my single car. The god dam C7 15w50 only comes in 1L, im tired of disposing one by one every year. For 140$ seems like a good deal (plus drum cost)

Anyone have opinions on this?

It's unlikely there's enough population to go back to it's former glory. Discord is actually not a bad choice as we don't really create new threads much anymore, we can just have the various channels corresponding to the various popular threads.

Ya I'll throw in too if needed.

TBH if we moved to a Discord or something, I'd say most people would bounce.
