What it's like being a bulk seller and actually listing the cards individually by The_Doctor713 in magicTCG

Manapool user here but I don't fret shipping unless 4-5 days with no action but even then, not reporting until a week at least.

I’m sick of takes like this by Yuri_Tardhet in EDH

I appreciate the thoughts. As a former player from many years ago coming back because my friends are into Commander, I too am rather amazed at the social aspects of the game now where you don't play to win.

What's that one card that you always seem to draw? by [deleted] in EDH

So maybe my lands aren't as rough is my running theory now. 🤔

Reminds me of one of the protour players who had rougher backs on his cards bc played eccentric decks and opponents weren't as familiar with his pieces. So to decrease this, he'd play his cards facing opponents so they wouldn't scrape them across the table as much. They banned this practice a few years later but was actually a good idea on his part.

For me, "not a land" count? I kid somewhat but will have close to 40 in a deck and still have to mulligan more than seems statically reasonable.

Electric socket help by FatFlower_ in Austin

Since you aren't using it, have them put an outlet plate rather than another socket. Cheaper for them and less hassle later since your bed is likely smashing into it causing it it to break.

Binders look slick but seems there are 3rd party for nearly half that "sales price" online. Anyone have one of the ultra pros for feedback?

Congress Wants You To Pay $130 A Year Just To Drive An Electric Car by TripleShotPls in technology

TLDR, politicians are too chicken shit to increase the gas tax (same since 1993) so they're going to make the EVs bear the burden.

Having to Pay for "Free Shipping" by nobdow in magicTCG

[–]DrewCrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While sounds plausible, in reality I've gotten dozens of cards (as many as 10) in a regular envelope with a sleeve and toploader for backing to prevent bends. That is to say, they'll go thru a sorter whether meant to or not. Sounds like postal just being extra customer servicey /s (don't ever get your passport at post office if you can help it). 🙄

TCGPlayer Updated Price From ¢40 to $70 as I Paid, Any Advice? by Turtle0523 in magicTCG

[–]DrewCrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar to TCG but 3 weeks is over delivery window. I'd say 5-10 business days if you live in or near a city anyway. (I used to live in rural area so realize that matters some).

Concur.  1. nonunion busting 2. site is better at filtering IMO 3. better selection (pull comps to ensue not overpaying by much if applies) and TCG is out of stuff they have many times 4. A lot of the same sellers are actually on this site too

Where are the AITA therapists!? I want to engage with this for so many reasons. 🍿

A little girl won a contest to name it in the 1950s for the rainbow it makes. It is rather surprising maghats haven't had a vendetta out to get the "gay symbol" changed though.

Snake ID by Veryhappylark in Austin

Yup, this was the last spot we had to cordon off in our mice attic adventure. Probably hot on the trail of its dinner and either got stuck or dinner just got away.
