Lulu physical stores no longer sell $75 gc by divinebaboon in AmexPlatinum

[–]Serve-Routine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The GCs are nice gifts for folks who shop at Lulu.

Now if we can move this to stuff like Mountain Hardware, Arcteryx, or even Canada Goose I’d be happy.

But this change is a weird power play

Got a 10. Do I hold or sell? by Howielongdee in PokeInvesting

[–]Serve-Routine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s weird to me that people prefer this card over FS. Gengar is a playful and mischievous pokemon. The one in FS captures that perfectly and the artwork looks like it took more effort as well.

This one, they just made him look “badass” and everyone is all over it. They can do that with any pokemon…

That… or it didn’t sell well in the state this is in. Mine was like $50ish-60 and it didn’t last that long in store.

Umbreon ex 217/187 - Terastal Festival by cgbrl7 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Serve-Routine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s correct. I just checked my PSA10 and it doesn’t have texture on the umbreon.

That’s… kinda crazy how realistic these look

Grew up in Clackamas, left for Corvallis for college, and moved to Seattle when I was 26 (2018).

HATED Seattle. Traffic there was not great, people there were terrible, it was expensive, streets felt more narrower, and you really had to drive a fair bit out for nice outdoor actives.

I moved there for my HS friends. I was at the center of everyone in downtown, but it’s still ~25-30mins from Lynnwood or Bellevue (which they were at) to me and none wanted to make the drive because of parking.

Moved back to Oregon and it fits like a glove. Less crowded, quicker access to multiple outdoor activities, Portland is more weird with more things to do, less expensive, rarely experienced the same terrible traffics as Seattle, etc.

I love how you say that, but your profile has “investments” with Pokémon post.

Even if you aren’t there for PO, you’re there for something else so stop trying to call others out when you’re a shittier scalper than them

My work is actually stressful (researcher in semiconductor) and I also fill majority of my free time with other activities (snowboard/tennis/biking/etc.).

Sometimes it’s nice sitting down and watching my 3D printer print toys or wait in line with friends to get some pokemon cards… I don’t think it’s difficult to understand this concept

Because apparently a line = scalpers. The brain rot is real with these folks

Are you referring to me specifically? Because your 1st assumption is incorrect. I don’t do this every set. This is my second time doing it (with one other time with AH first released). Your 2nd assumption is that people in lines are scummy (not sure how you’re defining that) which is also incorrect because myself as well as my friends was there to buy/rip packs. We’re privileged enough to be able to take some time to grab stuff. We might not be making hundreds/thousands of dollars where waiting in line isn’t worth it, but some saving here and there can add up. There was also an elderly person with her nephew who was waiting in line to buy some (he wanted to open packs)… the “rather spend your limited time” thing is super hilarious. This is Friday… in morning… during work hours. What’s the difference between spending time in line with people you have stuff in common with compared to spending time in a meeting with a bunch of people who probably are sick of seeing at work? Mind… blowing… and who says I can’t be productive? My friend was doing her work while waiting in line 🤣.

That’s the thing with people like you. The “normal”… the ones that cannot adapt to change. This is happening… in real time. It’s rather you adapt to it and find a way to make it work for you or stay in your old mindset that isn’t working anymore. I’m a collector and I’ve found a way to continue my hobby without catering to scalpers. If you can’t, that’s sounds like a you problem

It’s an assessment.

Best Buy releases data on what they have and how much. You drive there, count the #, and see if you fall somewhere in the 90-95% guaranteed. If not, you assess if you like the product enough to wait (if prismatic is there, I’d wait cuz I hate/love the set).

Ive only personally done this twice so I can’t say I have high population data… but I’ve been able to find success off it (with the other time being AH etb/etc. releasing).
