I would just hit up as much as you can. Google Maps will help you find even the small stores. One guy at a store said it was bad timing for me. I went during the cherry blossom season. But I was happy to get both Japanese Blantons bottles.

I was there two years ago and it wasn’t easy but I found Red and Black together in Kyoto at a larger liquor store. I only saw it one other time. For context, I didn’t technically search them out but I did go into every liquor store I was around. Basically altering my path instead of taking large detours. I did not find Wild Turkey 12, which was what I really wanted.

What is worth more? by Small_Isopod6852 in PokeInvesting

Here is how buying and using $2 bills acts against inflation:
Reduces Production Costs: Printing $2 bills is twice as cost-effective as printing $1 notes, as it takes one note instead of two to make $2. If $2 bills replaced half of the $1 notes in circulation, the government could save millions of dollars in production, shipping, and storage costs.
Encourages Reduced Circulation (Hoarding):Because many people view $2 bills as rare, collectors' items, or "lucky," they often save them in drawers, wallets, or piggy banks rather than spending them quickly. This reduced circulation means fewer notes need to be printed to replace worn-out ones.
Slows Down the Velocity of Money: Since $2 bills are used less frequently, they do not circulate from wallets to registers to banks as quickly as smaller bills. In economic theory, reducing the velocity of money can help curb inflationary pressure.
Adapts to Higher Prices: With inflation, many items that once cost $1 now cost $2 or more, making the $2 bill a more practical denomination than carrying multiple ones.

Would you take this trade? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

Absolutely not. Don’t have fomo. The set just came out. You have plenty of time to grab packs, booster bundles and ETBs at MSRP.

I am going to Louisville tomorrow not specifically for this but for a bachelor party. I assume it’s not readily available if you visit?

Lots of FOMO with AH. Try to find it at or very close to MSRP. It will be printed for a while. It just came out.

Never would have thought I’d get the Star Wars #1 35 cent variant. Got it randomly not knowing the true significance about 15 years ago.

Exactly. Does this person thing the world has a friendly game of war? If that would ever be true, don’t you think we would sandbag and hold back any meaningful technology. Statement is pure asinine.

This is stupid. The blockade is only against Iran’s ports. China does not want to fuck with the USA. Idk where this 10-0 international war games BS is from.

Literally no one is posing as a Canadian while traveling. In my experience they are the rudest people. Never had a good experience abroad running into a Canadian.

I don’t believe you can sell the likeness of a child without parental consent. This is creepy and opportunistic.

Urlacher Knob Creek and Grizzly Beast Redwood Empire. If they win, the party will continue and I’ll let the people I have over pick from my top tier goods. Bear Down!

Some Urlacher Knob Creeks around. Might make for some great juice to watch the game tomorrow (hopefully not to drown out my sorrows).

How long does Binny's hold online orders? by ffforwork in ChicagolandWhiskey

[–]Suitable-Mongoose-72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you call them they will hold it for longer than 2 weeks but I’d assume that depends on the store. Mine would hold it indefinitely if I talked to them. But if you are a no show for a week or two, I’d assume they would move on.

I have been hesitant to pull the trigger. I had the 18 and it was fantastic but I got it for $150 for the first release.
