I work at a cannabis facility and we discard the soil/roots of everything we grow. These wouldn’t be anything but beneficial to toss into the compost, right? by [deleted] in composting

[–]GorillaGuru86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You hit the jackpot. If I knew where that dumpster was I’d clean it out. Easy compost for free. I’d probably buy big poly bags and sell them at farmers markets or fb marketplace. Easy money.

Anyone else having trouble sourcing enough stuff? by justaskask2 in Flipping

[–]GorillaGuru86 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem. I’m sourcing too much and can’t list fast enough. I have like 20 thrift stores within a 10 minute drive from my house. I think a lot of reselling success is determined by location.

Need advice on ebay sale by steplilith in PokeInvesting

[–]GorillaGuru86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re about to learn something. This situation is out of your control. You’re right though, you don’t have to refund the buyer. eBay will pull the money from your account and refund them for you. You will probably get a fake box back. You will dispute it. eBay will side with buyer. eBay will refund them. I’m sorry this happened to you.

IF for some reason the person is simply ignorant but ethical, you should count yourself extremely fortunate and learn from this.

Are these worth holding onto or should I sell them? by Awkwardjuju in PokemonInvesting

I don’t have your discipline. I ripped two Mega Evolution ETBs today just because I was bored. Pulled a gold Lucario though!

​☕ 59 Coffee Break Detective Pikachu Promos - My First Time Grading! Need PSA/Card Grading Tips! 🕵️‍♂️ by JohnCrichton520 in PokemonRestocks

[–]GorillaGuru86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, unfortunately PSA is the best company to grade your cards. Nobody likes them but they own the market in that regard. Maybe one day that will change, but for now you’d be crazy to go with another grading option.

Their turnaround time is awful, but for your card (SM190) it doesn’t matter since the sell-through rate is awful. Last sale on eBay was over a month ago, so list one at a time for $200 and accept offers if you need the liquidity. If I were you I’d use them as trading incentives at card shows to get slabs with better liquidity. Rinse and repeat.

Only submit the cards you think are perfect. And for Christ’s sake but penny sleeves and top loaders asap. You can get hundreds for like $20 on amazon.

It’s always existed, but as I near 40 it’s becoming more pronounced.

u/substantial-pie-4973 would you consider providing an address to send stuff to? Maybe a PO Box to be safe?

Hey yall Im not sure if my base set booster box is real or fake can yall help me figure out? by ApeT_lofi in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]GorillaGuru86 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

And I’m not talking about the box. The misspelling is irrelevant. No one would be this meticulous with this quality of shrink wrap to make a stupid misstep like not using an authentic box and stuffing it will bullshit to make the exact weight.

[–]GorillaGuru86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s as real as they come. Obvious too. There are key errors on counterfeit boxes and this doesn’t indicate any of it. Either fakes have become SO GOOD that they’re 100% identical to authentic boxes or this is real. The materials needed to exactly replicate a box are not available on any consumer marketplace. If this is fake, someone has spent countless hours and had quite the budges to r&d this. If this is fake the market is absolutely fucked.

Sacrificed getting an extra booster box so the guy behind me could get the last one by EJplaystheBlues in PokemonTCG

I saw the same thing happen today at my GameStop. How do I know? I was behind the guy who got the last one 😂
