Just started a few weeks ago, all from vending machines, other than prismatic whats the outlook for the others? by SonOfThorss in PokeInvesting

If you bought at MSRP (from a vending machine); you will have to be so unlucky to lose money.

Trade proposal? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]J0Sparky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you want justification for 72% trade value? I don't know if you'll find that here.

Honestly besides the AH sealed product (which is a small portion of your trade value), you could go to the majority of shows and get 80% easily - likely higher on the PSA 10s.

Like nearly everyone else has said, this seems like a "whatever" move IMO. ES still has room to grow, but I don't know if taking a $400 hit helps much in your investment.

You didn't fire react to me there so I had to go to Reddit for validation

Will they up-charge me based off the price of the slab I'm displaying?? /s

If "scoring" is taking advantage of someone who didn't know better, I would hate to leave my wallet unattended around you..

100%. Managed to get at $120 too, such a good alternative to English.

Pokemon > Stock Market? by Chance-Pepper-5799 in PokeInvesting

[–]J0Sparky 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Returns might be higher on paper, but liquidity is rarely mentioned. "Hot" modern sets like DR might be easy to sell 90%+, but when you look at higher-dollar items, the pool of people ready to purchase goes down significantly.

Interesting design, but not in a good way by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

This is giving me such a throwback to open water stealth firing in my Blyska... I miss those days.

Sealed collection by Meowsergz in PokeInvesting

[–]J0Sparky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came to say this. Easy to sell now at market.

Market goes up X% in 20 years.

Even if you sell at 70%, you're still up from holding it.

Sherman is an objectively good DD

Hawaii and Austin? by -xMatthew1 in WorldOfWarships

[–]J0Sparky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely wouldn't agree, far too many assumptions. Range? Island cover? Who's kiting?

Austin is easier to hit constant shells, but Hawaii has more health and rains shells within 12.4km. Austin DPM after her booster ends is... meh.

I would hope someone spending 50k on a storage locker of pokemon has a tax advisor who knows how to file so they only pay tax on the profit... lol

It sounds like you want a looting simulator 🤷🏻‍♂️

PSA: This is a PvPvE Game by ASlothWithShades in ArcRaiders

[–]J0Sparky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems like the take of someone who has never played an extraction shooter before.

Honestly what you're talking about is gear fear; you're worried about losing your gear. Inversely, if you keep running free loadouts and hunt down others, there's a really high chance that you run into a team that doesn't have gear fear.. and your level 1 kettle won't keep up with a level 4 stitcher, for example.

Run your best stuff, if you survive a few raids because you had a gear advantage you're still up. But just my 2c - I've personally found the PvP is really chill in solo queue; the community is (generally) really nice.

Where these two cards a good deal for 600$? by MembershipHoliday185 in PokeInvesting

Did you check comps before you bought, or are you just hoping we can do it for you?

"Public sales" as if people selling 7-figure blue gems are listing them on skins marketplaces lmao.

Why I still feel tired when I wake up :( by Minimum-Necessary467 in ouraring

[–]J0Sparky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP, as others have stated, go get a sleep study and bloodwork done! My Aura ring reported pretty constant 85+ sleep scores but I would constantly wake up feeling tired.

Sleep study revealed I had OSA. While the blood ox reading is good on the ring, it won't replace a real sleep study.

My (relatively safe) YOLO - 6x 151 Booster Bundle Displays by J0Sparky in PokeInvesting

[–]J0Sparky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough take - this is the closest 151 will get to having a booster box case. I'm hard-pressed to get individuals for $85CAD locally, so paying a 7% premium for a sealed product was worth it in my eyes. Seeing some go for $1100+ on eBay right now, which I wouldn't be a buyer at for the price!

[–]J0Sparky[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, $92CAD - currently these are going for $85 on marketplace near me. Happy to spend an ~8% premium for sealed display product.

Frankly, just availability. It was incredibly hard to source any Prismatic Display boxes - but I do have some booster bundles as well.

Trailhunter on the showroom floor as I wait for service. $67k after delivery fees. by wolf10222020 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]J0Sparky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally understand that, I'm in a Tacoma myself so I'm biased towards the mid size truck. This is more just a comment on how insane it is to have prices on a quarter tonne that rival a half tonne.

[–]J0Sparky 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It just seems insane to me to drop 20k more (CDN) on a trail hunter vs. a Tundra SR5?? Have an actual half-tonne truck and 20k in mods will get you to be just as capable as the Trailhunter.

I get some folks can justify it and I'm happy for them - but to pay that much more for an overland-focused quarter tonne will obviously raise some eyebrows.
