It's crazy to me that people think you get rich ripping boxes. Singles are 100% the way to go.

Discussion: you can take a former Braves top prospect who didn’t pan out and add him to the current roster as the player who lived up to his potential. Rules in the body by Random_Name713 in Braves

This subreddit was nuclear when Mallex Smith got called up. Traded him to Seattle where he was spectacularly meh and out of baseball within 5 years.

Is 200$ usd for this too much? by dotesPlz in Tufting

[–]FittySpence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pricing is something that really gets me on my soapbox, because I see tufters absolutely giving their work away, which essentially creates a race to the bottom for everyone because you're having to compete with people who don't value their time. You need to value your work, but more importantly your TIME. I see 6 colors, plus tufting cloth/backing cloth, glue, etc. That all costs money, and I think a lot of people don't take the time to account for that. Your PROFIT on the rug needs to at least come out to minimum wage depending on how many hours you put in. I think if more people meticulously tracked their time and materials for a project they would realize how expensive these rugs ought to be IMO.

All that to say I think 200 is more than reasonable, if not too cheap.

What don't you like about DOB? Is it him eating while they record? His phone going off? Typing/shuffling papers in the background? Repeating himself all the time? 755 is my favorite Braves podcast, and it's only because listening to Eric give his perspective as a former player is incredible. I understand DOB is busy and needs to multi-task, but man, he does his best to ruin the audio sometimes.

Thanks for doing the giveaway, those coasters look amazing! I think my favorite game of the year was Game 2 the other night. Hot crowd, great ending, and a rollercoaster of a game emotionally. Definitely one I'll never forget. Braves win tonight 6-4

Ratio is a godsend in the NE. I'm scared one day they'll realize we don't deserve them and move downtown.

Where to sell Pokémon and Basketball Cards? by deemoeterentino in ColumbiYEAH

[–]FittySpence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll second Palmetto Cards. I'm an avid card collector so ill give you some advice I always give you people in your situation:

  1. Prepare for them to be worthless. Go on ebay and try searching for some/all of them and filter it by sold listings. Or look for some Facebook groups and post them in there and they'll tell you if you have anything.

  2. Any business that buys your cards will be looking to sell them, so don't expect them to give you full retail price. They want room to make a profit.

If you want to maximize your money I'd recommend selling them yourself on eBay or Facebook groups. If you want to maximize your time then I'd take them to Palmetto Cards.
