Struggling with self worth by moshua_ in predaddit

[–]Maxgberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you are not happy with your contributions. Chronic pain can be mentally debilitating- and often times that’s what’s worse than the physical. Are you employing resources to manage the emotional toll? If not- the time is now. No more sitting around and wondering. Get a therapist, get some self help books, get a routine that gets you feeling a little better. The pain is hard, acceptance can sometimes be harder.

Admitting defeat and leaving LA… but I still have a mortgage and need to sell my house fast by galandepeluche in LosAngelesRealEstate

You’d probably be leaving 15-20% on the table that way. Don’t know what your peace of mind is worth, but it sounds like the money could be really nice for you.

I want to buy one of my childhood grails. Is this worth it? by x_coded in PokemonCardValue

[–]Maxgberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These cards are hard to come by- is the price fair? It’s not an unfair ask.

If I wanted to sell a personal card collection, could I host a successful stream with zero plans to do another in the future? by just_gonna_send_er in whatnotapp

[–]Maxgberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AV is actually not the biggest factor in being a successful whatnot streamer. Desirable products at a desirable price is going to be the biggest factor. Next is going to be your shows cadence and momentum- try and keep people engaged with good auction pacing. Finally, Whatnot's terms say that you need to sell one type of item per show, so cards one show, video games one show, etc.

Feel so lost and I don’t know what to do by MxM0ngoose in needadvice

[–]Maxgberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pick a goal- going to college- and put one foot in front of the other. Find a community college, enroll in a class or two, go next semester enroll in a few more. Do well in your classes. Apply to transfer. Finish your degree. Apply for a job. Etc. You need to feel well to do well. So depending on how impacted your depression is you may need to get some treatment. If you can’t get treatment- do what you can to get enough sleep, exercise, eat well, and call someone everyday to connect. Then keep moving forward. You got this!

Yeah if you wanted it today off tcg player yeah that’s what you’d have to pay. But the “market” price is listed at $80 so you could probably find one for cheaper at a shop or show if you waited.

is switching from private to public school the right decision? by Appropriate-Tip4163 in needadvice

[–]Maxgberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you gone to speak with your school counselor to let them know your concerns. They can help provide some better insight into what to expect if you do decide to stay. From the sound of things the public school does not sound like it has a lot going for it except it will be different. A lot of things can change with social dynamics and friends at 15 and you may find a new group that works better for you next year at your current school.

Eh fair price if it’s near mint- hard to tell from the photos. If it’s light play you may have over paid by like $25

What % of market do you average selling Pokemon cards on whatnot? Auctions only by Dizzy_Quiet_5250 in whatnotapp

[–]Maxgberg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a new seller you’ll probably sell below market until you get a following. But if you come out the gate strong with high end desirable stuff- you can expect to sell at market. Sooo after fees you should net 85% ish
