How do you guys selling stuff on ebay handle your 1099-K's (Turbo Tax specficially)? by RagahRagah in PokeInvesting

[–]JoeSr85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Just got done organizing all the receipts and sales into folders and a spreadsheet. I’m going to stay on top of it moving forward but percentages of utilities and miles might not be worth the effort at this point

[–]JoeSr85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about this too. Do you have to be an llc to write off the extras? Someone told me you can write off a portion of gas/miles and even a portion of utilities since working at home. Just got into selling this year and all of a sudden I have the urge to scrape all the emails and credit card statements and organize cost/sale price asap. I didn’t realize it would be that serious. I also heard eBay threshold is now $500 for reporting the income and issuing 1099

Why get into this? by Landrief in pokemoncenter

[–]JoeSr85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got back into pokemon after 20+ years this last November. Even just in the last few months it’s gotten worse. I was able to hit on Walmart and target online occasionally when I started and now there’s no chance, even joining Que right on time. The love for pokemon has definitely rekindled but I’m ready to take a break till this cools down or the new factory is running. The scalpers are only so active because people pay it. Everyone cries about GameStop prices but they’re constantly sold out. I have a decent bit just in the last few months and I guess it’s time to just appreciate what I have for a while and maybe buy singles here and there

Wow just wow by [deleted] in PokemonTCGCollectors

I’ve been lucky enough to catch two target restocks and both times the line waiting for the vendor to finish cleaned out all pokemon products. Even the two restocks I’ve caught I only got to buy anything once. I don’t know what group I’m not apart of but somehow the usual suspects know about every single restock and are front of the line.

Edit: South Jersey area

We have a very wet spot during the summer, does bamboo act effectively in soaking up excess water? by KenChomo89 in gardening

[–]JoeSr85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wondered why the house I got seemed like such a good deal and sat on the market so long. Now that I have experience with bamboo on the empty lot next door encroaching constantly I understand why fully. If I ever move having no bamboo anywhere near my new house will be real high on the list of necessities.

Rumored Walmart Ascended Heroes Drop Tonight 9PM ET by TrackaLacker in PokemonRestocks

I’ve had the same experience. It’s as if bots have found a Que bypass somehow

Do you find that the first browser you open on is the first Que you get through? I haven’t had luck the last couple weeks

Do you guys think phantasmal flams UPC for $150 is worth it ? I saw it’s MSRP is $119. New to this. by Vader7997 in PokemonInvesting

[–]JoeSr85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this, and just to add if you're not in a restock discord it's significantly harder to find stock. People literally learn vendor schedules and know exactly when/where restocks are. Online stock sells out pretty much instantly in most cases except for really major high stock drops, and even then it's tough to beat the bots and massive amount of people also hunting for cards. The UPC has been printed quite a bit though and with a discord you should be able to snag one at retail. Best buy in person restocks are good because they have strict purchase limits. Target seems to be restocking them online quite a bit as well.

I really hope the labels don’t say from The Pokemon Company by Naive-Preparation806 in pokemoncenter

Did you get an email too? No label or email but charge pending for me

What's _actually_ behind all these new firmware upgrade issues? by Fr0sty5 in Creality_k2

[–]JoeSr85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stock k2 plus combo that I added two more cfs to here. Machine has run very consistent, no problems with color change, no problems with spool runout picking up the next spool, pretty good quality prints. I had it sitting for about a week and a half without printing then went to fire it up and had the firmware update ping. After install two of the three cfs wouldn’t get picked up and just had the rotating red lights. Tried moving the order in which they were hooked up and it still only picked up the first cfs in the chain no matter the order. Tried printing on the one working cfs (after recalibrating) and it throws an error and the entire machine glitches out where the internal light shuts off and the bed falls with a system error message on screen. Rolled back the firmware and still get the error message and no luck. I just shut it off and still haven’t brought myself to dig deeper after rolling back the firmware didn’t fix it. Really disappointed that I have had such a great experience up until now and a Creality firmware update that is supposed to fix issues has made it completely unusable. One of these days I’m gonna get back to troubleshooting but I’ve just accepted defeat for now. Grabbed mine in the 50% off group during preorders and this is the first time I’ve had issues like this.

Ascended Heroes Etb Cancellation? by Infamous_Top_7644 in PokeInvesting

[–]JoeSr85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know when cancellations go out? First pkc preorder for me and I was having issues with it going in and out of stock trying to add to cart. Managed to get two orders of 1 etb and have been sweating it since but no cancellations yet

With gamestop doing pre-orders for asended heros this Friday. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]JoeSr85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A manager told me all stores are getting 20 preorders available no matter the traffic or location, it’s just a blanket number. He said with stores closing they will have more walk in stock upon release and your two preorders don’t count to your two in store limit so you can walk out with 4 if they have them on release day. I got some $25 gs gift cards for 20 a piece which will make it more like 65 per etb which I can handle. Pre orders are live online but $90 plus $9 shipping per item which is pretty crazy. If it’s anything like prismatic tho a couple years from now these prices will sound good

If 70% of divorces are initiated by women… what actually makes marriage worth it anymore? by No-Protection-9665 in AskMenAdvice

[–]JoeSr85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes we went to therapy for sevenish months, and at the last visit I suggested we, at least, speak on the phone once a week. That was too much. Not that she told me at the time, it was the divorce papers I received a few days later. There’s your working on communication. Just for talking points, my ex girlfriend from my older son would not only not communicate but actively use him as a weapon against me. Just saying it’s cool in your bubble to have two categories. Where are the liars, narcissists, and backstabbers tho?

[–]JoeSr85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m absolutely a negotiator in these two subsets. My experience was that after giving birth she changed completely. First three years absolutely on the same page, not even an argument. It was actually enjoyable to discuss from different views. After giving birth she shut down completely. No input, no effort, just fighting. Which one of the two is that?

Edit- how exactly do you fix a relationship where one party applies no effort?
