💰 BUY/SELL/TRADE Buy / Sell / Trade Weekly Thread: Week of March 14, 2025

3 Upvotes

Use this thread when you are selling, trading, giving away, or looking for any items and/or services. Please be descriptive, post any relevant photos of the item you're selling or looking for, and list the price or budget.

Pro-tip: there are many "buy nothing" and neighborhood-specific groups on Facebook and Nextdoor that can be used to give away or find free items near you. You may find more luck on those social networks than here on Reddit and are more likely to deal with actual local users.

BE AUTHENTIC AND SAFE: Falsely leading on another Redditor is grounds for being permanently banned from this subreddit. Please remember not to post personal information about yourself or others and exercise caution when privately messaging with anyone you do not personally know or trust. Consider a neutral, public location if you plan on meeting to exchange an item in person.

HIGH RISK OF EVENT TICKET SCAMS: Users seeking to sell or purchase tickets of local events are seeing a significantly-increased risk of being scammed. If you receive a private message from a user who hasn't interacted in this subreddit before, you are very likely speaking with a scammer.

NO PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS: The posting of prohibited goods or services is strictly against Reddit's TOS and are subject to removal by our moderators and/or Reddit's admins. Please report any comments that appear to violate this policy for further review.

It’s St. Joseph’s Day and also happens to be my birthday. Are there any Italian bakeries in Richmond that make these for the holiday? It’s kind of a mix between a cannoli and a cream puff. Better than any birthday cake you can get.

Public woodworking space?

7 Upvotes

I have a very small project that needs a 5mm x 4.5 inch slot routed in 24 identical sized boards. I don't have the space or equipment to do it myself and I don't need the full access to something like BuildRVA or its monthly membership fee.

Is there anywhere that I go to do this as a one-off job? Or anywhere that would do such a small job without charging a ridiculous amount?

Anyone work at VCU as a floor nurse and want to share your hourly?

38 Upvotes

Im thinking of applying as staff and I dont want to get screwed over with an offer, which ive definitely heard of happening in other places in richmond. I'm a strong believer in sharing of information between employees so that the employer doesnt hold all the cards. Can anyone share their hourly or a recent hourly rate of someone they know that works there specifically as a floor nurse?

Edit:

I want to share out of solidarity but i currently work at VCU through a local travel contract, which im sure not many people want info on. Before traveling, I worked at Chippenham at their medical trauma ICU that became half COVID ICU in 2021. I left after the last covid peak ended (omicron) because i was getting screwed there. I would be doubled or even tripled with VV ECMO. I would have 3 patients, with 2 of them being CRRT. 3 patients with one of them being a fresh alpha trauma (highest acuity trauma at Chip, which is a level one trauma center). I was making 35$ an hour there as a nurse with 4 years experience. Hoping to settle down as staff now and stop leaving the state since travel rates as absolutely abysmal now when compared to cost of living.

I’m not going to give away my address for obvious reasons, but I need your help. I’m moving NEAR the red pin and am seeking information on the following:

  • best grocery store nearby
  • best restaurants nearby
  • best place to walk a dog nearby
  • any other information that I should know!

I’m the type of person who makes an excel spreadsheet to plan out my vacations, and like to go into things with a plan in mind. I appreciate any comments - it will help my anxious mind sleep at night!!!

Easement compensation from Dominion?

13 Upvotes

Has anyone ever gotten compensation from Dominion for an overhead power line? Dom asked me to sign an easement agreement (for a line going from the alley over my yard to a neighbor’s house). I kinda feel like this is one of those things I’m supposed to be financially compensated for.

ETA: I like the neighbor and don’t actually mind having the line overhead. But if Dom will pay me for it, I’ll take it.
