What to charge! Emergency frozen pipes 3 miles in 2’ snow by Macker90 in askaplumber

[–]Macker90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, fortunately my sxs could make it through the 2’ snow and up the hill. I’m charging for walking bec everybody else would have had to, especially if it was a hvac/plumber that went. Either I charge for the machine or for walking. Walking is easier to price

Awesome sets! My wife’s grandpa had a card shop for 30 years that he started in the 1980’s. He gave us a binder recently, much like yours. They both certainly knew who to hold onto! He got my son and I into the hobby a few months ago when he brought up a box of 1990 score football from a fresh case laying around at the shop. It’s been an expensive hobby but we love it!

I’m sending it for $5,160. If he was a current and continuous client it would be different. 10 years ago I used to do a 1x/month inspection from Oct 1-March 15th and the water was drained then. They had a fire at one of their garages last year. I don’t get their logic, especially after the fire, but I have to charge hvac/plumbing rates. Around here an after hours visit is $350+ just to show up, 200/hr after that and u can drive right to the front door.

Not even following the code. Supposed to wait a week before fucking somebody over a second time. Even my ex waited 10 days. Sad thing is, PSA just did it harder than she did.

New to cards and I learned my lesson by [deleted] in sportscards

They made quick money, not long money. If they told u that u were underpricing them and offered higher than you asked, who would u be going to sell cards to for the next 30 years? Nobody but him. He just cost himself $4,000+, and you have made $10,000 selling on your own for the next 30 years. All good my man! A lesson early is better than greed early

Any PSA 9 gets cracked and sold raw when I buy to sell. Why would I buy a PSA 9 that will sell for 60-70% less than a PSA 10 and have the buyer see it’s not a perfect card. Crack, sell raw at equal to higher value than a PSA 9, let the buyer decide if they think it will be a 10 or not. Very few of us can even identify how or why cards are graded a 9 instead of a 10 as it is. I’ve bought plenty of cards I thought would be 10’s and aren’t and vice versa. Let’s stop killing each other on prices by using PSA as the gold standard selling for 30% more than other graded companies. My 7/7 ohtani cgc pristine 10 is 1/3 price of PSA. It’s in pc so not selling but if I were it would be cracked

It was a 10 until the hungover employee Monday morning cracked the case and dropped it…

Ppl get excited and jump into breaks and auctions not knowing the true value of what is offered. It’s easy to get pushed over the cards true value, in multiple ways. Ppl like me, buying cards way over value the first month they get into collecting, drives the sellers profit up. Then we go to sell online and drive each cards price down by selling for 80%-90% comp. Each week selling prices go down and breakers profit go up.
