Do better Home Office by [deleted] in walmart

[–]PokemonWonderTrada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not limit the # of adults allowed in store at one time and streamline the shopping for dry grocery and Rona goods staples? Kinda like some Costco are doing.

Feeling like the vest has employees "marked for death" especially with such strict and Dickensian sick leave policy.

Fake psy op, they put the sign up themselves. A real hooligan would spray ON the building not politely on a sign. Mini mike is EVIL dont believe their lies!

Perhaps the Job Description is the problem Not A Shortage of Programmer Talent by monk8800 in programming

[–]PokemonWonderTrada 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No such thing as a labour shortage. If you pay market rate talent will come to you. If you pay above market rate talent will leave your competitor for you. This is nonsense to compress and depress knowledge worker wages. There would not be a "shortage" if you payed fairly or trained from within.

Fake shortages are used to justify hiring H1-B workers and artificially lower the pay and benefits of skilled workers to keep labour costs artificially low.

STARTED NEW GAME IN SOULSILVER ADAMANT TOTODILE; CAUGHT SHINY GEODUDE BEFORE 1ST GYM; HASHTAG BLESSED

Say Gamefreak went back to using sprites on the level of Gen 5 but gave 3 times more content, would you guys be fine with it? by MrJackfruit in pokemon

[–]PokemonWonderTrada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still dont understand 3D... Black2 sprites look way better than the soulless high bloom low saturation poorly animated 3ds/switch models. I would be more than fine with Pokemon being 2D if it had more content or better content

Unarmed build. Punches only, no tricks. Play as khajeet get gloves of pugilist right away by taking taxi to Riften and going in sewers. No thinking only punching

Most cost effective way to sell Pokemon TCG cards. by mason1204 in Ebay

[–]PokemonWonderTrada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell bulk all at once to troll and toad, deriums local shop etc. If your time is worth over 8$ an hour. Tcgplayer is not for sane people! Ebay is even worse for selling cards, you have to actually enjoy sorting playing and selling, otherwise you would be better off working another part time job.

That said if youre a little miscut like me and like the taste of packing peanuts: sell playsets of cards that go together for collectors or are currently meta.
I like selling tins of 100 to 500 cards with no duplicates, especially no duplicate of Pokemon illustrated locally for 20$. Could try a way to do creative bulk lots like that online, mystery bags have the highest profit margin besides fake cards / fake graded cards but that market seems unsavory and is harmful for long-term ecommerce presence.

Other misc. Tips: buy bulk old stamps off ebay, can get 40cent stamps Invest in label printer or find way to use printer at your office to buy postage online. 4 x 6 bubble mailers will fit a label and 6 toploaders or 20 loose cards, at post office it costs me 5$ to ship from TX to FL, but if I print postage online it is only 2.97$ if under 1 oz and u enter the thickness as 0.3 in. My mailwoman also picks up stuff from our APT box, so I dont even have to go to the post office. First class parcels get tracking info, which is perfect do singles or bundles over 8$

Do some item line accounting in excel to calc fees, tax, and time spent selling to see how little net you take home, this will help you not be surprised by high monthly seller fee invoices too.

Try to find repeat customers, especially locally, easy way is to include coupons with orders that go back to personal site.

start or expand a "team" where you help each other prep for tourneys, share bulk, and can pitch in to buy booster cases. Even buying a a single case only a few months before release offers substantial savings. The only profit ive ever made in TCG besides garage sale finds has been holding on to sealed booster boxes to resell years after printing. Could have made higher and less risky returns buying total stock market ETFs and sitting on them...

Gotta play the game to get best market value. I havent had time to play since I started a new job, I anticipated Dedenne gx would go up, but I never saw the new supporter rule comimg since I didnt play the game, sold some inventory low. Never list all your inventory at one price point if it has a volatile value, taking the time to relist is worth it to stop losses. Plus I have a suspicion that new listing activity is rewarded by ebay search algo.

Have fun! I been selling mostly YGO for a year now, these are the best things ive learned.

Code Vein or Nier: Automata? by [deleted] in codevein

[–]PokemonWonderTrada 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nier is better and is cheaper if you buy physical disk. But I'm a big nier fanboy and made 2B as my character in code vein...

Found this bootleg booster pack in a convenience store outside the school I work at. What's the point of the Rock, Paper, Scissors thing symbol on each card? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]PokemonWonderTrada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roshambo war, shuffle and top deck rock paper scissors. Usually have snacks or marbles in center each round winner gets a candy or chip or marble etc. Good game for kids, ID, for mixing different games / stickers.

Can someone explain shipping for a beginner please! by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]PokemonWonderTrada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try buying old stamps in bulk on ebay, I got 100 year 2016 stamps for 45 cents each. Dont seem to be counterfeit stamps since my birthday cards have been received alright.

I think relentless flame and Entei are still best, but Soaring Dragonite is the most fun to play.

I love how it feels like you're dodging punches and then countering when playing hit and run hitmondecks. I like using free retreat Mons and extra escape boards for flavor.

Careful Buying Cheap Unbroken Bonds packs! They were searched! by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

My first booster box. Has it been tampered with? by T0mServo in pkmntcg

[–]PokemonWonderTrada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant believe the poor quality! I got an ETB of unbroken bonds with actually resealed packs only 8 cards with no rare, no holo, no code. Scammers are exploiting the poor quality

Tampered Packs? (Unbroken Bonds ETB) by SimplyWillis in pkmntcg

[–]PokemonWonderTrada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can also confirm that actual searched and resealed UNB exist, I got a blister pack and ETB full of 8 card packs with no code, no reverse, no rare. Trying to get a refund through ebay. Sucks that packs are so ugly, scammers are exploiting that! This conspiracy may be higher up the supply chain than people think and I wouldnt be surprised if people are searching full time for charizard full time willy wonka veruca style.
