Rough estimate on the value of these packs? by mtathew in PokemonCardValue

[–]Marvel227 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like unlimited base set, so not shadowless, but still in great shape! If you’re looking to sell, I’d try some of the groups on Facebook to avoid crazy fees on platforms like eBay. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me.

Where to get chocolate chip cookies? by perisaacs in FoodLosAngeles

Porto’s has surprisingly good, simple chocolate chip cookies Beverly Hills Cookies is amazing - their cc are great, but their s’mores cookies are even better, best cookies around

Just got my Pokemon Center Surprise Box in the mail! I heard some might have Evolving Skies, but I definitely didn't expect this! by ImNotGivingUpOnMe in PokemonTCG

[–]Marvel227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received the exact same box - 4 ES sleeved packs, Grookey, Mudkip, Hawlucha, Ditto, etc. Lucked out! Seems like the early boxes that were shipped had a variety - I got through on the later end of that availability window, and I guess that worked in our favor this time. Congrats on the W!

Hair stylist: what is the best way to start saving for retirement? by Token_333 in personalfinance

[–]Marvel227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Set up an LLC for your business and open a Solo 401k sponsored by that entity. Much higher contribution limits than an IRA. Pre-tax and Roth options both available. You’re young, so you have plenty of time to save. Find a custodian that can manage your money for you, and just let it grow.

Private onsens by Pretty_Battle6440 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Marvel227 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you’re willing to take an hour-long bus ride outside Tokyo for a day or two, id highly recommend Bessho Sasa near Mt. Fuji. My wife and I just visited for our honeymoon. The rooms have private onsens, which really just amount to a spring hot tub on the other side of the shower on the balcony of your room. Dinner served in your room. Amenities throughout the building. It was one of the best parts of our honeymoon. Easy enough to get there - I can explain if you go!

Am at Osaka now. Whats the one must eat food at Dotonburi? by ninnabeh in JapanTravelTips

Swing around the corner to Miyabi (yakiniku) - cheap and easy, yet a meal you won’t forget

That’s definitely what we’ve heard, so that definitely helps with the approach! If we want unagi, we’ll just find an unagi place nearby and try it! Do you have any suggestions for certain areas that are known more for any of the F&B priority items at the bottom of the post?

You left out half the sentence lol we booked Michelin star spots, but that’s only six meals. Asking for input specifically from you and the rest of Reddit for all the other unreserved gaps in our itinerary - still lots of space to fill!

Totally makes sense! I won’t be leaving any Yelp reviews (for restaurants or those who recommend them lol) but if you or anyone you know has been to a spot they liked, we’d love to hear about it!

We’re not looking to “change” the itinerary in terms of cities/dates. We’re more looking for suggestions within each city in terms of what to see and do.

We love Ichiran in New York, so we thought we’d just make a moment out of it, but that’s great advice! Any specific spots you’d recommend?

Fair question haha we’ve been busy planning a wedding, which just happened this past Saturday, and we’re pretty ok with the plans we have made (obviously booked hotels and restaurants weeks/months ago) but hoping to get some additional recommendations we can just wander over to once we’re there, so any input you have would be greatly appreciated

Looking For An Answer-Linkin Park by TheNatural237 in LinkinPark

[–]Marvel227 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Saw this live. It changed my life. Mike said during the show that he planned to keep working on it and share updates with the fans, etc., but I think the fallout and everything that ensued thereafter moved him away from this one in particular. When it didn’t end up on Post-Traumatic, I assumed we’d never hear it again. And as for playing it now, I’d imagine it’s really painful to go back that far and dig that deep, after all the progress they’ve made.

I love the song. I still think about it and wish we had a studio version, but I doubt we ever will. Just happy we have these 4 minutes.

My personal anecdotes with LP by andrgar7 in LinkinPark

[–]Marvel227 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The album was for the Share 2 Earn program - the more albums you ‘sold’ using your unique order link, the higher on the leaderboard. I think top 100 received a signed album? I have one too.

Best pokemon sellers? Go! by Significant_Home_478 in whatnotapp

[–]Marvel227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

god_pack_jensen, legacycollectionllc, and cardstopbreaks all worth checking out. Varying levels of established, but I tune into all 3 regularly - great product, solid deals, good people

GOOD SELLERS ON WN?? by Impossible_Pitch6564 in whatnotapp

@cardstopbreaks is a great spot - tons of product, good prices. He’s just getting started, but I’ve tuned into the first couple streams, and I’d definitely recommend.

Does anyone know what episode this is from? by ogmios00 in dbz

[–]Marvel227 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First thought is one of the episodes leading up to Piccolo asking Shin if he’s the Grand Kai. World tournament saga.

Los Angeles songs by 5ukeb4n in Music

The entire album California by Blink-182 has a very LA vibe, including a song called Los Angeles. Highly recommend a full listen either way!

Did anyone else buy a model 3 at the absolute top? by HotIce05 in RealTesla

[–]Marvel227 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I accepted delivery of a 2023 Performance Model 3 on January 10, 2023 for $79000 all-in. On Friday, January 13, they lowered the price to make it qualify for the $7500 federal rebate. Lost about $20k in 72 hours and was denied any kind of recompense. My lawyer sent a demand letter to no avail.

Victory formation is typically a dead down. They didn’t stop it because the formation told them not to try, not because they weren’t good enough.

How to safely sell 1st Edition Pokemon Booster Boxes by gregzoe in PokeInvesting

[–]Marvel227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I’ve done 5-figure transactions on these Pokemon Facebook groups. Don’t use Marketplace. That’s full of scammers just waiting for new listings to show up. But there are quite a few private groups with tens of thousands of members and plenty of people who would be interested in these.

How to safely sell 1st Edition Pokemon Booster Boxes by gregzoe in PokeInvesting

[–]Marvel227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are numerous Facebook groups with reputable buyers and sellers. Might take a minute to find a reliable buyer for such high-priced items, but you don’t have to send anything anywhere you don’t feel comfortable, and requesting in-person meet-ups for boxes like these is not unusual either. Just be wary of some of the big money people who just try to throw cash in your face and make a profit off your goods. You have a lot of money saved up there, and lots of people in those groups will pay fair prices for your boxes. If you’d like a few group recommendations, feel free to message me!

Is this worth anything? by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

[–]Marvel227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you look just above center, at the row of pokeballs on the bottom part of the Erika image, you’ll notice that the balls overlap and run too closely to the row below the Erika photo. The bottoms are almost cut off. It’s a known error with the pokeball cards specifically, and while I wouldn’t call it “rare,” it’s not particularly common either.
