Probably also paid for WinZip as well.

Boeing uses CATIA for CAD and ENOVIA for their CAD parts data repository.
CATIA let's you pull the trigger. When it shits the bed, you get a little window with "Click OK to terminate" and you can't do anything but click OK.
Didn't save for the last hour? Too bad. Better luck next time.
Close. The good ones are separated and usually sold in smaller lots by manufacturer, and go for a lot more (as you would expect) than these.
Here is a 25lb lot of Swiss Army Knives that is at $900 with 3 hours to go.

If they are really valuable and think they will get more than $100 or so, they sell them individually.
Huh. I've only heard about it once or twice. I guess I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
If you want them to look like they just came out of the factory, get an ultrasonic cleaner and the degreaser concentrate. I bought one a while back and decided to clean some 1/10 scale RC car parts in it since I was trying to get all the grease out of the nooks and crannies and even a toothbrush was having a difficult time with it.
The parts came out looking brand new, like I had just pulled them out of their original packaging.
Yeah. It's not like I buy a lot, it's just another place to do some mindless scrolling. But it's irritating nonetheless. I have sold stuff before, and it went pretty much how you described it - almost not worth it in the end.
Bummer. Guess I'll have to see what Craigslist is looking like nowadays. I haven't been there in a couple of years.
**Edit: ** Found it. https://hackaday.com/2020/09/23/reforming-3d-prints-with-salt-and-heat/
There is an article out there somewhere in the ether where someone printed with 100% infill, then put the print in a glass container and packed it with salt that they had pulverized with a coffee grinder into a powder and re-melted / fused it. Their intent was for making clear parts since they were using transparent filament, but it should be great for increasing the adhesion of the layers as well. Ideally, it would become more of a monolithic plastic part than a bunch of layers.
This is the shift pattern of the army deuce and a half trucks we had when I was in the army. Reverse was in kind of a weird place, until you got stuck in the mud and needed to rock back and forth, then it was nice.
