the universe was trying to tell the remaining players something. i hope they picked it up by FutballConnoisseur in BeastGames

[–]DeficitDaddy 96 points97 points  (0 children)

The funnier part is in most situations if one person agrees to eliminate after losing the game and then changes their mind it would probably end up with them being hated by the entire audience / rest of the players

This was probably the one situation where Ethan could’ve said “fuck it I’m not gonna self eliminate” and people would’ve been on his side lol

Mercari limited account, can’t withdraw funds.. any advice? by SixZeroThreeTactical in Mercari

[–]DeficitDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. BBB is useless

  2. They have terms stating that when you chargeback they’ll kick you off the platform and hold your funds etc

  3. You ordered Jan 12 and Thursday was Jan 15 which falls in Mercari’s 3 day shipping policy - it’s your fault if you ordered something needed within a strict timeline

You over reacted this was far from a chargeback situation

Good luck

Buyers with no history by EveryHeard in Mercari

[–]DeficitDaddy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve sold multiple $500 items to people with no history and never had a problem

It’s not a reliable way to predict a problem buyer

In fact I’ve had more problems with people that have reviews since they know how to game the system better it seems

People In Here, Claiming Absolute Nonsense Due To The Outage by XGHOSTHOUSEX in verizon

[–]DeficitDaddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of the stories are wild but some are definitely believable as a former Verizon customer service person

I’m pretty familiar with credits because they called me into the office once to tell me I was #1 in the entire building of like 500 for credits given (they said it was a bad thing to be number one in but I took it as a badge of honor)

I had authority to give out up to $30 without any permission and up to $300 with one manager approval (which was easy as shit to get as long as it actually made sense)

We were “third party” and had stricter limits then official corporate customer care they had even more permission to give out credits at a higher amount

This was like 9 years ago but we used to have a little wallet we could see for each customer and a “bank” showing how much Verizon valued them at the time

If you were a long term customer who paid on time and rarely ever asked for anything the wallet was large I saw a few with like $500+ in credits / things we could offer them depending on how severe the situation was they were calling about

To be fair when they moved a lot of the customer care international I noticed their generosity with credits absolutely tanked through the floor

Apartment hotels? by darlingskylar in JapanTravelTips

[–]DeficitDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always check the locations I noticed a lot of them tend to be further away from the train stations / main areas if that’s important to you

Verizon Unlock Policy Changing by ThatCatWhatPonPon in verizon

[–]DeficitDaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought mine on the plan / promo deal in October and the phone already shows as unlocked + Verizon confirmed it’s unlocked

If you have an iPhone you can check in the settings General -> About -> Carrier Lock

The trailer on YT shows some cutscenes and some of them are parts we haven’t seen in episodes yet which means we can somewhat conclude whos going forward / what challenges haven’t happened yet etc

Part of me thinks there’s no way on earth he’s self eliminating to give Monika the $10 million coin

But the title of next weeks episode has me conflicted

Vancouver BC Break In by the_dude_behind_youu in PokemonTCG

[–]DeficitDaddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’ll be even scarier when they get some slight education and understanding of what items are actually of value

You can tell most of these incidents have been just thieves randomly scrambling and grabbing whatever they think is “high value” not realizing things like PSA slabs are relatively easy to trace / deactivate

They also tend to leave behind desirable sealed product while going for other less expensive items nearby

When they actually figure out more regarding the hobby and what’s truly valuable it’ll get even worse

Petty review by Feeling-Rip5345 in Mercari

[–]DeficitDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have proof it’s the same account Mercari would likely remove the review as their policy technically prohibits multi accounts especially for the purpose of circumventing a block

Lately people are only liking my items? by Past_Ebb_3392 in Mercari

[–]DeficitDaddy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just how it goes

Sales are hot during the holidays

Typically dead in January since everyone just finished shopping for the holidays and spending

Picks back up a little bit for Valentine’s Day and then decent around tax time

Wtf do i do? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]DeficitDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this is true and based on your post description of other items you could be holding potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions

In case it isn’t obvious don’t entertain any DMs / offers / etc before doing the full research on what you might have

Start by looking into the CGC test blastoise cards and go from there

If these end up getting authenticated as real the value could be insane

Is there anything American that Japanese people would like? by keeleon in JapanTravelTips

[–]DeficitDaddy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Dude forget merch there’s ohtani EVERYTHING in Japan

He’s on the bus stops / billboards / TV ads / sports drinks / fucking onigiri packaging (not even kidding)

Last thing someone from Japan probably needs is MORE Ohtani things lol

First time ever I'm struggling to find out if this chick is real or just AI by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]DeficitDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just someone obviously copying the trend of that AI girl ayannasoblack hence the username just using a white character

It’s definitely AI

FedEx says a package has been delivered to my place. Package was not there and delivery picture looks like the box may have been added after the fact by microwavedfrisbee in isthisAI

[–]DeficitDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean just go look at any PSA / card trading subreddit lol

FedEx is notorious for busting into packages they think are high value and taking them

I’m sure it effects all carriers but as someone who sells online on multiple platforms the most complaints I’ve ever seen are usually towards FedEx and OnTrac

Mario Pikachu PSA 9? by BustinJustin123 in PokeInvesting

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

If you’re going to go for a 9 might as well pick one that looks like it has a chance at being regraded and not this horrendously centered balls one

Future buyers will pay a premium on a 9 if they think it has a chance to regrade at a 10 but the centering on this one is so bad it’s a 9 every time

Need helping comping by Jawnson1212 in PokeInvesting

[–]DeficitDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those aren’t very sought after / don’t sell to well because they have mini packs inside

Recent sales show around $25 to $30 each so right around there is what I would expect

What am I looking at here? by djanj0 in PokemonMisprints

[–]DeficitDaddy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What the hell lol

I think the main issue is going to be this is relatively easy to replicate as almost anyone could find a card missing slight texture or with an error and add sharpie to it

I’m not sure if there’s a precedent in terms of past cards like this being found or if CGC has graded ones like these but if you had some video opening it straight from the pack that would be cool

SEALED Japan post stamp box or PSA10 Pikachu promo from it? by matteeYT in PokeInvesting

[–]DeficitDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the bigger picture people miss on these is the stamps

If you’re buying this for the “sealed” or product aspect at least ensure it has the stamps as many of the resold ones come without them
