I think the trayvax has rfid? I didn't want the stretchy band. I didn't want it to wear out on me.

The one that I wanted was the Trayvax Contour - it doesn’t say it has RFID and I don’t see how it would even be possible...

Since I’ve had it, I’ve kept a total of 4 bills in it...

I can typically go 3 or 4 weeks straight without ever putting my hands on or even touching actual money...

I thought the band held the cards in too. The band on mine holds everything.

Well yes, the band holds everything here too - it keeps the metal plates clamped together...

You can put the money on either side, obviously...

I got 4 business cards and 8 plastic cards and I see little to no stress on the band...it’s thick...

Just a friendly reminder...

Obviously the community of this forum goes beyond its public discussion sections. Members do transactions, exchange personal information, txt, link up on other social media, even meet in person. We may get to know each other better than just a username on this forum. And the familiarity of using real names in other, more private communication can result in the casual use of real names in public posts.

But this forum's public discussions are just that - public. Not just to the full forum membership but to guests, too - pretty much any anonymous miscreant in the world with access to the internet.

Some people don't care, their real names are publicly known and they're fine with that. Or even if they aren't publicly known, they don't care if they're used. But then some members prefer to restrict and/or control what personal information is posted publicly, either as a general privacy practice or for specific reasons (such as the tens of thousands of dollars worth of oakley stuff, and/or invaluable family members, put on public display here).

Regardless, this isn't about which level of security is the best practice. It's about respecting people's privacy preferences, whatever they may be. Please do not use people's real names in posts unless they have specifically told you it's okay. It's just showing your friends proper respect.

And I happen to know this sort of thing is the specific reason that the rule "Don't post members personal information; including but not limited to their full name, address, location, occupation etc. without their prior permission" was added to the posting guidelines a few years ago.

And this is a general statement, not calling out anybody or posting in response to any specific examples. When I see the use of real names, for all I know permission has already been given. This is just a friendly reminder...

I wonder how many discontinued modern day Oakley sunglasses is actually out there. A new website pops up daily selling discontinued Oakley items.

I bought a really stained Penny Coin from eBay. It hasn’t arrived yet, but what is the best way to clean it? I’m ok with making it shiny.

Drop it in Coke? I dunno but i hear it cleans everything. Try a penny first, the money, not the pair.
