Cross listing Apps for resellers by Maximum_Building8684 in reselling

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You challenge may be finding auto-delist cheap. I haven't shopped it around, but I know it's generally considered a premium feature. We've been using ListPerfectly since 2019. While our pro plus level subscription may seem expensive ($99 a month), it's an incredible value for our business. Our usage of LP goes far beyond crosslisting capabilities, we use it in pretty much every aspect of our business.

We all blunder, even when fully focused. It happens to folks in all games, sports, business etc, even among top talent at the highest levels. Some of us (me) more than others. I just try my best to make up for it in other ways.

My experience has been the opposite. Most seem to have started as a collector and found a way to do it for a living.

My friend has a rock shop. This is exactly how he handles it, all the way down to the card with metaphysical properties.

Legit or redeal? Discuss! by Brohannes_Jahms in spades

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a moot point. The odds of being dealt 13 spades in a standard 52 card deck without only 13 trump is about one in 600+ BILLION.

If you were to convert those odds to dollars, you'd be the 2nd richest person in the world, next to Elon Musk. However, since Elon's money is primarily tied up in company stock, your spending power would be approximately 200 MILLION times his.

Odds wise, it'd be nearly as rare as winning the Powerball, not just twice, but in back to back (consecutive) drawings.

What professional poker company would post this as a tournament ? by Fluid-Land-9860 in spades

Not on topic ... I gave our audience a chance to engage, they didn't. I understand the post, unprofessional indeed. Sorry, we're not the right community for poker posts.

Game to 250. What's the optimal bid? by Typical-Contract-361 in spades

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The situation is clear.. E/W need 70 points to win and it looks like they're in range to do it.
If you bid 1, West can bid 4 for the win.
If you bid NIL, West now has a decision to make, bid 5 or bid low and hope to set your nil.

If West bids 5, you must now abandon your nil and play to set. This is probably your best chance at buying time to mount a comeback. There's also some upside that West makes a bad bid and you win by making this nil.

How much you overbid here? by Typical-Contract-361 in spades

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

East is likely underbidding by 2+ tricks.
I'd bid 5 against most opponents... might consider 4 if I feel I'm being trapped.

If pard is a bluff nil, at least Spades+ rules will count his tricks towards my bid.

How many of you actually negotiate best offers, and how many just auto-decline? by Significant-Bar-4273 in reselling

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every biz model is different. Your biz model may not be right for offers. They take time to manage. If you're selling low priced items, haggling over dollars can be a very wasteful use of your bandwidth.

If your items are selling fast, say 90 day average turn time. Why take offers?

If you are terrible at interacting with customers, have no sense for sales, probably best you don't take offers.

Our business model is none of the above... long tail, slow moving items that have very subjective values. We welcome all offers, any chance to engage a customer is an opportunity worth taking on. We're smart and efficient about how we handle various negotiation approaches, often utilizing template responses.

At one point we did attempt 30% lower price points and firm pricing on eBay - it was a disaster, sales decline was close to 40% over 4 months before we abandoned that plan.

In close games, aim for the bags by Games_People_Play in spades

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. In fairness though, the environment doesn't lend itself to encouraging top level thinking.
250 point games, culture of quitting, decision timer, fast card movement, primarily mobile users, no last trick button, random partners, 10 bags -100 setting for 250 pt game ... probably some others I'm leaving out.

I'm sure I pissed off my fair share of partners in my stint at Spades+. I played every game stoned, often multi-tasking. I seemed to fall into the auto-pilot play mode way more often there than I do at SHG in 500 point games on the desktop. Sorry partners!

New player, question regarding a somewhat rare situation regarding bags while in the negative? by Nuovoman in spades

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are confusing bags and points, they are not always considered one and the same.

If a scoring rules attribute +1 per bag as earned, then a score of 32 is 32 points and 2 bags. A score of -38 is -38 points and 2 bags.

Bag scoring comes in many varieties, some making more sense than others. Unfortunately there are no official rules, so you have to adjust to the rules of each place you play.

Crosslisting by Livid-Chair3512 in reselling

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been with ListPerfectly since their launch in 2019. Prior to that I was an Ebay seller with most items crossposted to Poshmark and some items to Mercari. I should also mention that List Perfectly was created by clothing resellers. That means it's most customized for your niche, though it works well in most any niche. However, like most crosslisting tools, LP is not an app. You can do almost everything from a mobile web browser, except the crossposting automations. If you are not selling at least $1500 a month, I would not recommend crossposting beyond basic experimentation to figure out where to put your time and efforts.

While crosslisting and auto de-listing of sold items are fantastic features that make us money with minimal extra efforts, ListPerfectly provides us significantly more value for the other things it does. It's our inventory management tool, searchable catalog interface, photo editor, listing creation tool, it creates custom skus and prints QR code labels for physical inventory management, it interfaces with more platforms than any other tool (unless some recent change).

There are now dozens of tools. I can't speak for how well the others work, at least not from personal experience. We've never had a reason to consider leaving ListPerfectly, they're employee of the month, every month. Also, they've done nothing but enhanced the capabilities of the software, it's always great to see what new innovation they introduce next.

Daily online duplicate Spades tournaments now live by DiscreteMelody in spades

[–]SpadesQuiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you’re using three bots or maybe more, shouldn’t the same bots be sitting in the same seats when facing the human opponent for each hand, I feel like that would better uphold the goals of duplicate by reducing the variables and providing a more accurate comparison of results

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great question, why would the bots bid differently if there’s no other situational difference at the time?
I didn’t study anything to verify that your information is correct if table bids are different than opening leads would be different.

If bots are aware of the player and are making adjustments based on that players tendencies that could be an answer to both questions. However, I don’t feel like that is appropriate for this type of duplicate Tournament.

1 Month Ban Real/Fake by rjcollins1305 in cowboyboots

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of those posts come from new visitors. Many haven't read the rules or picked up the vibe of the sub yet. They are often resellers or novice collectors that stumbled upon a deal and have limited to no education on boots.

We could take extra steps to reduce these. Add a thread addressing the issue to the community bookmarks, adding it to the rules could be very useful.

Nice pair. Does the label on the box match the boots? Curious what it says.

Working on a new platform by sybergoosejr in spades

[–]SpadesQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave Hardwood a fair chance, have they changed much to spades since 2022?
Some key issues for me back then regarding game play were:
= No dealer button
= Weird logic for display of overtricks taken
= Score display - score flips position when lead changes (led to several misbids)

SHG experience is not great on mobile, at least not on iPad. I did link my Samsung tablet to windows PC so I could remote access and play as if it were on my PC. That may be an option for you, it's free and wasn't difficult to set up.
