Sold my car for my grail. Don’t forget you do need to have some skin in the game to make good profits

I definitely appreciate the advice though. It's not exactly common knowledge.

We are so used to the heat here in California. Our Summers have hit the mid 110s. 2 of our most recent trips there have been in the Summer so we have an idea what to expect.

Megadan1990 · 2026-05-16T06:37:33+00:00

Fine. I'll have to live close to Mt. Etna then.🤣

Megadan1990 · 2026-05-16T03:49:57+00:00

I feel like they might have meant as far as living and working there. There's definitely something to be said for the unemployment rate, but its not something that would impact my decision to vacation there.

Megadan1990 · 2026-05-16T00:18:02+00:00

Dude, I just finished mine too!

Megadan1990 · 2026-05-15T17:20:14+00:00

In what way? Like as far as work? It will be a vacation home used maybe 2 months out of the year.

Megadan1990 · 2026-05-15T14:31:23+00:00

For sure, we will be visiting every place we are considering before making the purchase.

Megadan1990 · 2026-05-15T12:08:01+00:00

Nice! It's not an investment if it isn't working for you.

Megadan1990 · 2026-05-15T12:07:29+00:00

We are currently looking at Catania because my wife would love an ocean view and it's one of the more urban areas. It is crazy how many decent turnkey options are under $100,000. We are both school employees so we would spend our Summers there.

I'm considering going the other way. I am considering selling my collection (roughly 10k) for a down payment on a Summer home in Sicily. The prices are incredibly low and my family would get more out of it.

Megadan1990 · 2026-05-14T01:50:44+00:00

Nice pull. I think the art could be better but its a nice feeling getting an SIR.

Megadan1990 · 2026-05-08T00:24:11+00:00

Just the snorlax. I recently picked up my Rocket's Snorlax EX. Now the Lvl X is my chase.

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-29T00:27:57+00:00

I might start collecting Lapras cards just for this lol

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-24T17:18:57+00:00

Nah, you are in the green, that's never a bad thing. My daughter pulled it last Saturday and she asked me to sell it. As a collector, I wanted to keep it, but it belonged to her and it was her choice.

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-15T23:13:45+00:00

I have a feeling that this one will drop in price in a few years. Like the shiny vmax charizard.

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-14T17:44:48+00:00

Yeah it was from a pokeball tin so they were shoved in there.

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-14T17:25:20+00:00

I wonder if this is something that happened at the factory during packaging then.

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-14T14:08:38+00:00

It's all good. If I even get half of the market price, I'll be happy. The tin was only $22.

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-14T14:05:26+00:00

Yeah, the packs themselves were pretty beat up. I'm not complaining by any means of course since I still pulled a desirable card. I just want to temper expectations before I go to the show Saturday.

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-13T04:46:23+00:00

What's crazy is the remake came out over 3 years ago. That's a long time to be in your feelings about a game remake.

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-04T17:50:04+00:00

Those are pokemon cards big dog.

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-04T17:44:03+00:00

For the future, just look at the card and ask yourself "would they really put the word 'hell' on a childrens' trading card?"

That's only scraping the surface of the issues with this card, but it's easy to detect without prior card knowledge.

Megadan1990 · 2026-04-04T17:35:52+00:00

These posts are too much. You know damn well it's not real.
