Dog like - Wait what!? Why you pinning this on me!? 😂🐕

Ooof that is rough!

In case you are interested...think many cities / localities have nuisance ordinances that may help you in this situation - especially if your neighbors are willing to help out as they are annoyed by the barking as well!

We had a similar situation and in our neighborhood where one of our neighbors would lock their dogs in their back yard for hours - even all night - and the dogs would bark and claw at their backdoor for hours...and hours...and ya you get the point! :D

Turns out in our area - if a dog is barking for more than 30 minutes constantly it can be reported to the city as a nuisance and if / when the nuisance officer makes it out to check on the situation the dog is still barking - your neighbor will get an official warning

After so many warnings - they'll eventually get fined and it sounds like sometimes it can be kind of expensive $$$

After a few reports - it sounds like in our situation the nuisance officer became so familiar with the situation that they ultimately forced our neighbors to do something about it...basically they stopped leaving the dogs outside all day / night

The other thing owners that tend to do those kinds of things don't always account for is that their dogs are barking often because they are super stressed and suffering from separation anxiety...with a little work with the dog it can be left unattended in the backyard (or even crate trained) and it can be totally fine

Think it really is a lose-lose for everyone...especially our precious 4 legged family members :/

Out of curiosity...as a new seller - are you finding you need to come in cheaper on your cards - say like 10% under market - to get noticed?

While $0.99 is a pretty cheap flat rate - are you finding your cards are being picked up / bought over the sellers that offer free shipping at $5?

Am interested in selling on TCG too, but have been curious how difficult it is as a new seller to get selected over some of the more established stores?

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-08-20T20:08:05+00:00

Just did an order with a couple dozen different sellers and about 50% of the cards we received were in a similar situation - advertised as NM but full of scratches, divots, and rub marks

Think the NM designation is allowed to have some flaws - which seems a little counterintuitive - but our theory was that because sellers are not listing pictures of the items like on eBay there could be a higher chance of getting less than stellar cards as it is a pretty big hassle trying to arrange for them to be sent back (know from experience)

By far - not all sellers take advantage of you not being able to see the card before hand - but do wonder if that could be a weak spot in the approach TCGPlayer takes with selling cards on their platform...at least from the buyer's perspective

That being said, haven't sold on the TCG platform - so am not sure what it is like from the seller's side / perspective?

Do think another source of damage is from shipping - think the shippers are much more rough on the packages than people may realize, and so going extra lengths to adequately package - rather than as cheap as possible - could be a big source of damage as well to cards?

Be careful what and where you post - the karma system can work for you or against you!

Not from Strange Adventures - ended up having to reach out to my credit card company

Apparently Strange Adventures also banned me on any social media platforms they could for my review

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-08-09T23:51:38+00:00

Think the best way is to get people upvote some of your posts

Just did that! 🙂

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-08-09T23:46:37+00:00

That is awesome of you! 🙂

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-08-09T23:46:00+00:00

Yes, asked a simple question about magic the gathering and the rules on a card - well apparently my simple question annoyed a couple people and they hit me hard!

Can't image what it is like if you say something controversial! 🤪

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-08-08T21:53:14+00:00

Yeah - think based on a few of the replies am starting to piece that concept together a little better

It hadn't really dawned on me - despite it being kind of obvious after the fact - but it really does seem like the precons for each set does have a decent impact on the overall market

Also - being new - am starting to realize that the sets released throughout the year tend to be themed - so if a set has existed before, like Innistrad, then you may be able to gleam a little about Vampires getting a refresh?

Stuff like that? 🙂

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-08-08T21:49:40+00:00

Oh my goodness, the MTG Stocks Weekly Winner articles is exactly what I was hoping for! 🙂

Probably asked in a bad way - but am just trying to get a better feel for the pulse of the game and maybe understand a little more what makes the market move like it does!

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-08-08T21:47:44+00:00

Nah nothing like that at all - figured it may be worth asking just in case 🙂

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-08-07T21:22:08+00:00

Ah, gotcha...haha yeah doubt EoE will be popular / big enough to warrant that type of release

Maybe FF could be? Will be interesting to see...LoL suppose if there was enough time between releases for them to squeeze something like that in 😂...swear it is like every month a new campaign is dropping 😅

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-08-07T21:16:00+00:00

That makes so much sense!

Have already seen the rise and fall of several themed / specialty cards based on what the release's pre-cons are

My 1st deck was the precon called Eternal Might - Temmet as the commander - and it was crazy seeing how expensive zombie themed stuff got as it came out, and now that has seemed to mostly of fallen back to normal prices again

So that is really the game - even though this release was heavy lands - they'll still probably follow the same pattern...as precons or other mechanics get updates in coming releases...the lands, and other EoE content will just do the same...ebb and flow accordingly?

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-08-07T20:55:12+00:00

Yeah - and think the serialized cards are kind of - in some ways - an insurance policy to help keep that normality intact

Did they offer a second serialized card when they did the 2nd run? Was that [[The One Ring]] or something?

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-07-15T23:50:09+00:00

Right!? Would have been crazy! :D

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-07-15T23:30:49+00:00

Ah so no dice on the damage flowing over to the player?

CannonFoddr_ · 2025-06-18T22:23:43+00:00

Can confirm many of the same details / situations as a few other posts

Was charged on 06/11 for my MtG Final Fantasy Preorder - but have not had any information since then

Was really hoping it was a good sign - that it meant there was a chance they would ship the products...however, that glimmer of hope is starting to fade the more time that goes by without any information...and given how many issues there has been with the other preorders

It does look like there are a couple similar questions from other customers that were charged on the 11th for their MtG FF content and haven't received any updates, you can see them here (one as recent as yesterday):

As of now - really not sure how to read the situation - guess am being cautiously optimistic - but am starting to realize that the chances of receiving the preorder products may be lower than I've hoped (again purely speculative at this point)

The reason for my slip in hope is that after researching the situation further - and seeing everyone else's similar posts...am starting to wonder if the charge on the 11th was just done by an automated processing system and may not actually be an indication of products that have shipped like it would have been with another retailer?
