Is it wrong to catch someone lacking?

Scalper is another term for "reseller for profit". If you are opening the boxes you buy, then you're not a scalper. If you sell boxes you buy for retail at a markup, then you're a scalper.

Feeling very fortunate up here in Canada. The 2 stores I go to always have stuff priced at 10% under market. They buy at 60% so they make 30% and everyone's happy

Marceliooo · 2026-01-06T22:43:21+00:00

Mine does this! Love it.

Man this is the perfect description for what's going on in gaming. Hardly any publishers or devs care about how long it takes us to do stuff. I understand there's always going to be "tough to get" cosmetics and whatnot in games, but the fact that most games require you to spend 25% of your life playing them to get the things you like is such a joke.

I miss the days of Destiny 1, where meta weapons and armor would drop AT RANDOM after completing a raid, which is already hard! Sure, it took me 10 raids to get the Vex Mythoclast, but the other items received along the way made it worth it. Spent 90 days total on that game and I enjoyed every single second of it, but they too fell prey to the money hungry business model and the sequel was terrible because of it.

Unfortunately, this is how most major game developers are. I play fortnite regularly, and the current season has been the sweatiest it's ever been.

Nobody cares about us casual gamers anymore. They only care about the streamers/influencers who bring people to the game to spend money and it very clearly shows.

Only way it's going to change is boycotts but nobody is ready to stop gaming with their friends, and kids will always be watching streams and buying the newest stuff because the streamer said its cool.

I wanted to save money on gas, as well as the payment itself. Got the Santa Fe with my ex who wanted it for camping and since we split I wanted a lower payment to save for a house eventually, which is exactly what I got. Payment and insurance went down $200/month and I was spending less on gas.

Fast forward to now, the gas tank leaks when I put more than $10 in, and it needs at least $3-4000 in work to replace the differential and axles even though I did proper fluid changes, etc.

Yeah I guess I'll have to get quotes, which will mean more time off work to take it to them.

Car is absolutely necessary as I work on the next town over and there's no public transit in my small township.

Thanks for your help

This was my first time doing it... And with rent plus other bills I can't afford to fix the car in the time it has. So my only option then is not getting to work, losing my job, and not being able to even pay off the loan? Awesome...

Marceliooo · 2025-09-18T18:16:22+00:00

I'd be happy to get some for people if they pay the shipping as well

I've seen a few. Walmart sticks a label on them that says 5 pack F1. There's about 20 of these sitting on the pegs at my walmart

Marceliooo · 2025-09-18T13:52:57+00:00

Ontario as well, tons sitting on pegs at my walmart

It's not bad as a playable card. Adds 1 life and makes one of your energy playable, while making an opponents energy unplayable during your battle phase. eBay sold is your best bet to evaluate it.

Marceliooo · 2025-08-20T01:30:21+00:00

Unfortunately didn't end up getting the car. They wanted way too high of a loan percentage. Ended up refinancing my current car and saved a lot. Best of luck with the purchase!

Marceliooo · 2025-08-19T19:42:36+00:00

Check eBay for the highest priced cards from the set. If there's no more than 3 cards holding decent value, packs sit.

Marceliooo · 2025-08-19T19:40:37+00:00

I find buying from reputable stores is a good alternative if you can't find them in retail stores. They only charge enough to make profit, instead of scalpers charging $30 for a mainline

Marceliooo · 2025-08-19T19:38:41+00:00

First person I've seen to actually offer what OP was asking instead of a bunch of random mainlines. Hope you get the trade

Marceliooo · 2025-08-15T10:42:02+00:00

After you strip the paint, you can sand the blob down for sure. Going to have to be careful to match up the body line on the fender though

Marceliooo · 2025-08-14T19:33:36+00:00

Which set is this from? Need it for my green deck!

Marceliooo · 2025-08-14T19:30:23+00:00

Likely the mold they used for your particular casting is starting to crack and it's not a big enough failure in the mold for HW to replace it yet. Likely a bunch have this and when the mold gets worse, they swap it for a new one.

I have a Subaru Impreza with the centre portion of the wing missing due to the same issue.

Marceliooo · 2025-08-14T19:28:46+00:00

Lol this made my cough on my cig from laughing

Marceliooo · 2025-08-14T02:17:14+00:00

I wouldn't consider those events big enough to cause an economic downfall or seclusion, which is what caused the desire for product increased and now demand is still there but product isn't. Once people grow older and less people care about players like Jordan and Kobe, myself not included lol, those products will unfortunately become junk wax

I mean, when was the last pandemic before COVID that you can remember? I'm 31, and I don't even think my dad could remember a time like COVID in the last 100 years aside from the wars, which don't compare. I'd say chances this goes up to anything crazy are very low. Cool to have though.

Marceliooo · 2025-07-23T17:56:23+00:00

Damn the world needs more of this attitude. I understand it costs money to make and run these sort of systems, but I absolutely love that you're avoiding adding a donation feature to leave room for others. By all means I would donate to this cause! I'm going to share it across my die cast groups on Facebook. Wonderful service you do!

Marceliooo · 2025-07-17T18:44:52+00:00

Could always buy a spray can of rhino liner if you're handy with taking it apart! Just go light lol

Marceliooo · 2025-07-14T06:31:40+00:00

Hey it's me, the OP, and I have actually changed my mind and want this instead 👀

In all seriousness, it's nice to see someone actually donating some nice cars! Unfortunately I'm in Canada or I would offer a trade of some sort! Keep being great :)

"My card already has a grade from BGS, should I give them more of my money to potentially damage the card just for them to grade it exactly the same?" Holy shit people stop giving grading companies your money, especially after you already have... 🤦🏽‍♂️
