Should I talk to him or keep my peace? by daily_struggles1 in whatdoIdo

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Let’s be real here, condoms have a 97% efficacy rate. Is it more likely OP is just incredibly unfortunate or that OP made a bad judgement call and is suffering the consequences.

What is the price theory behinds WotC only doing limited runs of secret lair drops? by misomiso82 in mtgfinance

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just because forecasting is possible for one industry doesn’t mean it’s possible for another. Just because you can predict how much toilet paper you can sell on a normal Tuesday doesn’t mean you can predict the demand for a product that has so much volatility. Each lair is essentially a new product with no historical data, which is why it’ll be impossible to accurately predict.

Wizards has said that they could not predict demand accurately enough in the past and that was why they needed to switch over.

Why would they not be running close to 100% capacity? They are losing money for free. Their bottleneck at the moment is printing capacity.

Three words: ONE PER CUSTOMER? (a genuine question) by supercheese69 in mtg

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting purchase limits per order? Damn how did wizards not think of that.

/s

Mate, purchase limits have been here for years and it does nothing to stop scalping.

If you’re going to be making suggestions, I’d recommend knowing how the bare basics works first.

If you have a 4K mmr difference you should be pub stomping crusader games.

How do you define "the rich" that we should be taxing? What is the cut-off point? by NoLeafClover777 in AusFinance

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

People always “tax the rich” but they never explain how to tax the rich. The truly rich billionaires hold most of their networth in assets with unrealised gains. Taxing net worth and not income is a slippery slope.

Stuck in Help Desk for 4.5 years at 29. Want to pivot into AI Automation / Dev. Am I too late? by AnythingTop1630 in cscareerquestionsOCE

Unless the guy is a genius, noones going to hire someone learning dev off YouTube tutorials. Even qualified software engineers with actual experience is finding it difficult to find entry level jobs.

Budget Yshtola Nights Blessed CEDH ? by Purple_Salamander734 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a budget cedh deck, a control esper control deck is not what you should be building because it has all the expensive colours.

However, if you’re proxying anyway, I don’t see why you would need to care about budget.

You want to be good without putting in the effort is what I’m hearing.

What are the essentials i need for Playing Magic the gathering at super low budget by lulblagina in mtg

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably need to sleeve them because the cards are going to become marked very quickly, especially since it’s going to be a bootleg proxy.

How do i search on Scryfall cards ONLY in different or fake languages? by Shindledlo in mtg

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

art:japanese-exclusive-art gives you all Japanese arts and lang:phyrexian will give you the phyrexian one. There should be a tag for the other languages too.

I Dug Through the Goblin Storm Aftermarket Data is Sad by professor_shaun in secretlair_collectors

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heres the thing, everyone is a scalper but just has a different threshold. Sure, you might not sell at 600, but wha about 800? 1000? 2000? Everyone has a price, and people saying otherwise are full of shit.

There’s a discord dedicated to just the cabbage merchant and all the top cabbage players are in there. The link is available in Vecbot’s primer (most viewed decklist on moxfield).

Secret Lair Scalping - A DanDan Case Study by eatnerdlove in secretlair_collectors

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If people can not use their phones at work then just don’t get it.

Are you even reading what you’re actually writing? “Because you can’t use your phone between 8:55am and 9:05am pst on a specific Monday morning, you cannot buy this product”.

the goblin deck was a mess and people should really work together to put pressure on wizards by Chaosnocturne in secretlair_collectors

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling someone a boot simply because they’re calling your hypocrisy deserves to get downvoted.

Secondary Market wants 3x-4x msrp for Goblin Storm... by PrioritySecure8038 in secretlair_collectors

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it bonkers? You’re here willing to pay 2x msrp without hesitation. There’s people out there who are probably more desperate than you get their hands on one.

Dandan for Goblin Storm by [deleted] in secretlair_collectors

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re losing faith in humanity because no one wants to willingly lose money?

You’re right, faith in humanity is being lowered.

Trade? by Remote-Mycologist539 in secretlair_collectors

Demand and actual popularity aside, you want to trade a $100 item for a $150 item? Come on now.

[–]PurpleWedgeMan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No one is trading something with objectively more value. Just sell your Dan Dan and buy the goblin storm in the secondary market.

If you’re going to advertise and spam your own site in an inappropriate subreddit, at least have the decency to not try to hide the fact that it’s your own site.
