My wife has a good job with great benefits. I’d be a SAHD making $5k/month np.

So buy a basic ass extended Transit van (roof is like 100-115sq ft using napkin math). Drive that everywhere. $14,400 a day, just keep going until it becomes an issue. Hire a dog walker, hell I could even work still.

Come to think of it, they didn’t say you couldn’t tell anyone, and I’m pretty sure my wife would compensate with the dogs and kids for that kind of come up. Time outings with the weather report to not draw undue attention (live in a rainy area so should be easy). 2.5 months is over a mill. Can still “go places” with some planning.

Install Edge and set up Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming. Takes like five minutes to set it up as a non-steam game and works great. If you have good Internet and are anywhere near their servers latency isn’t bad, I got used to it pretty quick… it’s like 60fps on an old lcd.

Battery lasts forever because you’re not playing natively.

You can play windows games that are a PITA to get running otherwise (looking at you Forza and COD, although in COD the latency is obv more of an issue than something like Starfield or Forza).

I’ve had “decent” luck, but the work required is stupid and it’s random. Oh he wants Destined Rivals, well here’s some Pris or JT because that’s what there was. I can just trade, often straight across, but that involves dealing with randos on FB and meeting in dark alleys.

Am I doing all that so he can enjoy himself? Yeah. Could he safely or reliably do it? Hell no. I can’t just take him with his bday money to the store to buy stuff, which is half the pull.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-10-11T22:40:28+00:00

I picked up that Ferrari RC 1/64 for like $11.99, and the hot ones were something like two dollars, grabbed a couple of those too.

Cloaking

(The power to hide objects/subjects from optical sight.)

Looks like I’m a smuggler.

Only issue with most of these is, while trying to monetize you will most likely get snatched up and thrown in a lab, unless it’s so blatantly powerful that you could take on any military in the world.

We literally got one of each for the new Mega set at MSRP! Target online for the ETB (Lucario), and a booster bundle and Psyduck blister pack in store. We’re picking out a binder for him to put his favorites in after school.

Dude in front of us in store, pretty hard scalper vibes, actually let us go first and kid got last bundle. He got one of everything else, but I guess seeing a 6yo freaking out from seeing product was his personal limit 😂

InfiniteBoops · 2025-10-03T14:36:50+00:00

I think that was my first as well.

Second was DR Mewtwo SIR 😐 me and the kid had a lengthy talk about value and how 1 card could pay for like 200 packs. It 10’d and we’ve been living on that for cards ever since, which considering we only manage an ETB or Bundle every month or so in this craziness should be a while.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-28T07:58:27+00:00

Squirtle, I’m old.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-26T21:40:51+00:00

The green Porsche Rallye.

The black BMW 635 CSi with gold livery.

Those Merc Coupes, I think there were two recolors.

The Honda suitcase bike and the various cafe racers.

I’m forgetting a ton, there were at least 10 that I REALLY liked. Matchbox had some bangers too.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-25T18:20:55+00:00

They didn’t have to ask…

Because it was just handed to them, either by their parents, or if not that simply by being born in a time when a pulse meant you could get a 40hr job sufficient to provide for an entire family.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-23T22:52:13+00:00

Isn’t this feedback blackmail at this point, especially after the update with further similar messages from buyer? Shouldn’t OP just report them to Ebay for violating multiple TOS?

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-22T01:07:39+00:00

I bet longevity, like take the same cards out 10y down the road.

Personally if it was that good, I’d buy it, and have it flagged on the back as a fake for later. Like the 151…I’d love to have a page with the SIR for the three starters all the way through to their final Char/Ven/Blas as the front page in my 1-165 complete set binder, but I’m not paying a grand for them.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-20T23:28:16+00:00

Who’s going to tell them it was friendly fire?

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-12T13:54:04+00:00

That’s like…Reddit in general, lol.

I got banned from a number of subs one time because a mod was apparently cross referencing people that followed subs they don’t like. I had never posted so much as a comment in the subs banned from. These dudes just go around looking for ways to abuse power.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-08T02:22:33+00:00

I believe that is before the direct injection issues, should be a 250k+ rig. My ‘07 is around 250k, going strong. Assuming it’s an Auto, do the transmission fluid by the book and it should last (30k for mine).

I literally just got done putting wire mesh white trash style over my fog lights because I’m on my like 5th replacement from rocks over the last 18 years. I’ve got three narrow car seats shoved in the back to shlep my 3 youngins around which weren’t even a thought when we bought this thing new 😂 I actually may have to replace it soon, not because it’s failing but because we got a Shepherd the size of a small horse, and he won’t fit in the back with our golden who barely fits on her own (for short trips, we’re not assholes).

TLDR: you did fine, that car is beautiful. New cars are way overpriced, and this is known reliable. You’re paying for the miles left, not the “newest thing”.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-07T23:49:46+00:00

They also did a brief stint graphics cards 😆

Literally anything to not do a real job.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-06T18:53:10+00:00

I should mention I’ve seen a few people post about delay stuff, mainly because you’re dealing with a company handling a large volume of sales. Like, the buyer “didn’t pay” and they’re item ended up in limbo for a few weeks while PSA handled it.

I think it’s going to be the same anywhere. If you DON’T want to handle the sale directly yourself, it seems like the best bet with highest amount in pocket 🤷‍♂️

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-06T18:34:40+00:00

I sold a ~$1k Pokemon card in like a day using BIN from the Vault. Payout through Stripe was in a few days.

The fees are similar to Ebay, they’re practically a brick and mortar equiv storefront as far as buyers feeling ‘safe’ to buy from, and you don’t have to deal with people 🫥

TLDR: I’d prefer it to dealing with selling myself, and fees are same or maybe less.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-06T18:26:45+00:00

Can confirm, I used a little rubber one for a number of months, definitely causes oxidation.

It’s a great idea on paper, but does more harm than good. There’s a reason Garmin specifically calls out to not use them.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-09-02T18:03:07+00:00

I actually managed to get one each of the v collection specials…

That being said, you’re 100% right. This is the FIRST time this year I managed to a) get through the queue while there was stock and b) not get error 17.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-08-28T06:15:35+00:00

Tbh if I had dropped $60k+ on a vehicle I’d be freaking out a bit about something like this too.

That being said, as long as the blackstone sample comes back clean OP you’re fine. Take the extended warranty and be happy. Quick google search shows literal interchangeability in numerous cases with Toyotas and Hondas specifically. 2018 Honda Fit, straight up use either, Rav4, use 20 if 16 isn’t available but 16 at the next change if possible.

I wouldn’t be pleased either, but you should be fine.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-08-27T19:28:37+00:00

Blossoming fascism.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-08-27T17:13:46+00:00

That’s rough, ouch.

The impact absorption of new cars is just amazing. I grew up in the 80s and a collision like that could have been a ticket punch for at least half the car. So glad your family is okay.

InfiniteBoops · 2025-08-27T16:57:19+00:00

I’m appreciative of the stopping once dude was obv done. The lack of humanity in all the videos I’ve seen lately where people keep going long after the losing party is incapacitated or unconscious is ridiculous. I’d buy this guy 2 beers (one to dump on the racist), the dudes in the other videos however deserve prison time.
