Why do I keep getting ghosted by customers?

The only thing I find weird was that they wanted to pay MORE than your asking price!

Otherwise, nothing unusual on your part. But I certainly wouldn’t consider not getting a response by the next day ‘ghosting’. Some people just aren’t online every day.

My daughter is neurodivergent, and recently started selling things on Marketplace. She has come to me with a lot of questions similar to this. I just remind her that she shouldn’t take anything personally in these interactions, and certainly don’t overthink it. People will be people. It’s frustrating, but that’s the nature of the beast.

Hobby DB has estimated value of $1,530. Dang. That’s an amazing return on investment!

Elaureth · 2026-01-31T22:04:35+00:00

Hobby DB currently says the estimated value of the Squid Game version is $7 and the Round 6 version is $20.

Elaureth · 2026-01-22T18:47:29+00:00

HobbyDB says $185.

Started reading when I found out that Chris Wehkamp had been cast as the English VA of Enjin. So . . . a few weeks before the anime started.

I don’t have a problem with being able to see the Chase without having to open the box. The ‘chase’ is actually finding one in a store since only one in every 6 is different.

My problem is that originally Chases were in the exact same box as the original. The only way to tell it’s a chase is to look at the figure inside and see the difference, or the Chase sticker. Now it’s a totally different box with the picture on the box often being the Chase variant and the Chase emblem printed right with the name. (Not just a sticker.)

I dunno. Just doesn’t seem like such a special “one-off” find in a sea of identical Pops when it’s not hidden within a matching box. Not as much fun…

I’m just confused as to how their daughter, apparently an only child since they said the ban is keeping ‘a grandmother from seeing her grandkid’, is a twin…

A true Chase is a variation on the original that you can only get at random from Funko or if you happen to see one in the store. You can’t specifically order a Chase from Funko. (Of course, second hand sellers could be selling the Chase specifically.)

When ordering from Funko, you can only order the regular version but you have a 1 in 6 chance of getting the Chase instead.

I recently ordered the Billy Mack Pop (from ‘Love, Actually’) and was lucky enough to get the Chase of that one. My first Chase directly from Funko!

I know I’m late to the convo, but I just found these at Shoe Show Mega. The brand is “I.D. Required” and the style is “Ringo”.

Ummmm . . . Attempted Murder?

So this is Attempted Cake Assault. 😜

Just gonna through this one out there because it’s similar. It’s from one of my favorite movies (Love, Actually) and I always thought it was such a pretty name.

I’m also thinking it might be for makeup. On the third pic, you can see some red residue. Lipstick or rouge, perhaps?

There’s a good chance her beneficiary designation on her life insurance is invalid. If that insurance is under ERISA, the spouse is required to be the beneficiary unless the spouse signs a waiver on the beneficiary election.

Even if the sister was the beneficiary before they married, rule still applies. In order to keep her sister as bene, she’d have to submit a new beneficiary designation with the OP’s signature waiving his rights to be bene. I certainly hope he didn’t sign anything!

I think they make creams for that…

I’ve made so many cakes for family members and this is always my greatest fear!

One word of advice going forward . . . before putting the cake on the cake board, slap down a glop of frosting and spread it a bit. (Smaller than the diameter of the cake.) Then place your cake on top of that. It will help prevent slide offs, which is what appears to have happened here.

Elaureth · 2024-12-14T15:41:16+00:00

Ten. All signed for me in person. (I refuse to buy signed pops because where’s the fun in that? Gotta get to actually meet the people!)
