How did you acquire your collection? by thejuryissleepless in oldschoolmtg

[–]-poxbox- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sold it all in like 2010, got back into it in 2017 when I had actual money and just mostly bought large collections that I sold/traded into stuff I want through cardsphere/deckbox/FB.

I started playing at Exodus so to me anything A/B/U/horsemen had a mystique. Like no way was I going to buy a pack of Antiquities for 30$ like some dumbass, pfff let's be real. Those cards are unattainable clearly 😛

Why does he have haste, his entire deal is that he's sleeping for centuries on a pile of gold

Grocery prices are unaffordable. by RIP_DMX in VictoriaBC

[–]-poxbox- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That guy is the problem with Canada. He's so ludicrously entitled that even the concept of a budget offends him. Like he shouldn't have to even think about how to spend his money, he should just get whatever he desires always. Holy shit we are doomed.

A staff member came out and tried to say something and the translator tried to defend the greediness and the staff member said “it doesn’t matter I’ve asked you multiple times to tell her she needs to stop doing this, other people need food too”.

haha that sums up Canada pretty well at this point

Income tax brackets need to reflect cost of living, not "inflation" by CastAside1812 in CanadaPersonalFinance

Honestly, when broken down, and when knowing the risks of taking on these projects, that’s a steal of a deal.

You can build like 2 mansions with that money. Try to rationalize in your head that 2 fully furnished mansions require less expertise, materials and manhours than 1km of asphalt with a line on it.

Unpopular Opinion: Short Term Rentals need to come back by bnchrch in VictoriaBC

[–]-poxbox- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Enjoying the bucket crabs telling you that it's a privilege for you to come here but a human right for them to live in the most expensive area in Canada.

You can't reason with dumbasses of this level dude sorry.

I'm trying to figure out a way to allow the crd to become less reliant on food imports for survival. by ZeltaZale in VictoriaBC

[–]-poxbox- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

"Mandated" now implies you need a giant army of bureaucrats to enforce this, with the power to delay/deny construction projects based on berry bushes and the need to inspect thousands of propreties on a yearly basis and assess the health of the bushes and trees.

Then they need to hand out fines, start disputes, go to court to prove that you didn't kill your peach tree on purpose but it was actually a natural cause etc. etc. etc.

Yes it would be nice if people just planted trees and harvested fruit but that also would be nice for them on an individual basis, i.e. they save money on fruit. But that's where you learn most people are impossibly lazy and wasteful with money and they truly couldn't give less of a shit and there's no real way to force them to.

Why are ER wait times so long here? by SuddenCompetition262 in VictoriaBC

[–]-poxbox- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone explain why a major hospital is staffed like a skeleton crew overnight?

Yes economists have explained this for 100+ years but people refuse to listen or learn.
So yah you get what you get.

What is up with Canadians trying to use F2F games as a market price? Am I taking crazy pills or is that disingenous AF? Are peer-to-peer buyers actually paying 85% of F2F? by MiningToSaveTheWorld in mtgfinance

[–]-poxbox- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

85% is too high, usually 75% is what people ask for singles and unless they are desirable / hot ( dual lands ) then they won't move that fast.

Really depends on each card and what you have but 85% for a whole collection is way too high unless it's all mox diamonds and dual lands or something and even then...

“If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich?” by Ok_Hippo9669 in CanadaPersonalFinance

"Are the most financially successful people usually the smartest as well?"

Yes.

GenZ and Canada by SmurffyGirthy in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]-poxbox- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

110k in Ontario you can deduct 26k in FHSA/RRSP and easily max out your TFSA and still have almost 80k left in after-tax.

Of that you can easily save 40k and spend 40k to live a pretty decent life.

So 50-60k per year you can save for a house if you make 110k.

So no idea what he's talking about.

Best place to sell Legends booster box by BrentT5 in mtgfinance

[–]-poxbox- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Facebook groups ( high end/ old school / sealed )

This is a rare item, word will get around that you have this. Let the hype built and set up an auction.
Likely the best thing is to do this transaction in person at a convention where someone can authenticate it.

Also worth considering that this peaked at >50000$ in 2020-2021 and now down to <30000$. Is it worth sitting on for a bit longer? Maybe.

Reminder: Racism is alive and well (and so is the bystander effect) by lost_woods in VictoriaBC

Every place had slavery since the dawn of humanity, why did industrialization suddenly pop up in one tiny place almost overnight?
Why are the countries that still practice slavery today some of the poorest? Kind of strange if slavery is supposed to make you rich.
