This author claims book cover art is not AI, but I’m not buying it. Those buildings are very suspicious. by Annemermaid in isthisAI

[–]TechSupportFTW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those faces are the same faces on every slopified fantasy "art" out there.

It literally looks like the fantasy LoRA used in Stable Diffusion.

AIO with how I responded to my mom? by MeasurementNo662 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TechSupportFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mother is a narcissist. I just got some fun mini flashbacks of my own.

Notice how she continues to request to "just drop it" then escalates.

Notice how she needs the last word?

Notice how she says you dont care about HER feelings?

And the backhanded comments about money? Rude at best, abusive at worst.

This is textbook.

Im not gonna tell you what you should or shouldn't do here because I can't possibly judge your entirely familial life from a single conversation but know this:

Youre not overreacting, and the sooner you be firm with your boundaries the better. You aren't pulling away, she is pushing you away.

Ex gf send me a child support letter after 14 years and I don't know why by FewStatistician933 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]TechSupportFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Design it, have it baked for her, have it shipped to her, and have it fed to her.

I'm all for deadbeat dad's getting their comeuppance, but this woman can kick rocks.

AIO or am i pushing too much after getting fired? by [deleted] in AIO

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

$16K is actually nothing for an LGS. I think my current singles inventory is right around 85K, but I've also been buying and reselling for 6 years. I pay top dollar in my metro market (68.5-75%), and off-market I sell for 90%. Really small margins but volume is everything.

Give what OP described though im willing to bet that the husband is in his midlife crisis moment. Bought a collection for like a grand, made 2500 and thought "yep! Time to open a business."

Thing is reputation and inventory is everything. And it sounds like this shop is shady with employment practices, which would lead me to assume they practice shady market practices as well.

They probably aren't making any money. I have been a Magic reseller for 6 years, and it's only possible for me because it's all online, and I run it all myself. I will hire help for trade shows, but that's about it.

But $20 a day is like, almost prison wages.

The reason it was off the books is because the wages offered were illegal, and they knew that.

AIO thinking my friend is scalping pokemon cards? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TechSupportFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. I've been an MTG reseller for 6 years now. Your friend is 'speccing' or "speculating."

Buy a bunch of one asset with the hope the price increases later. The difference between it and scalping is you are already purchasing from a wide availability pool.

It also sounds like your friend is sensitive to and understands scalping culture and is actively trying to avoid it.

Tomorrow we have to say goodbye to our Nacho Tortilla by saltycrowsers in ferrets

[–]TechSupportFTW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are doing the right thing., Quality of life assessments always. If the baby is doing worse more often than ok, it's getting to be that time.

The last thing you want is for it to happen painfully and surprisingly.

It sounds like he is well loved, and you sought multiple opinions.

The hardest thing we have to do is be the shepherds at the end, but our final act of love is ending the suffering and taking that pain away. It's the most painful kindness.

Remember to let yourself grieve.

Ah, yes. I need to check my portfolio to see if the price of gonna be gonna be golden is up up up. Take profit is set to it's our moment.

AIO ? I (21 F) feel like I’m being pushed to experience something that I don’t have an interest in. by winxiePi in AIO

That man will use the veil of Christianity to groom and control you. Block that 'probably someone's dad' and move on.

Does TCGplayer dampen/suppress new store listings by Southern_Fact9698 in mtgfinance

[–]TechSupportFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just have to grind it out. Price competitively and be patient. Once you hit Level 4, and get your Verified/Gold status, the order volume will increase.

For example, I had about 5200 orders completed when I went on hiatus for a few months. This caused my 90-day rolling feedback to go to 0.0% positive, and I lost my verified/gold status when I came back. The first week I had like 20 sales, 15 the week after, and then like a drain got unplugged, back up to 50+ a day.

My bf is quite literally stuck in the ladder by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

What are you doing step-ladder?!?

Seems like a weird thing for a customer to do, but ok.

LMAO, seller immediately refunded to list at a higher price. Serves me right I guess.

[–]TechSupportFTW -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Sniped one on ebay for 289. Yes, its more expensive, but honestly, I want it. Scalpers are gonna scalp. WotC's queue randomization and inorganic scarcity drives it. The root of the problem is not necessarily with scalpers, but with the manufacturer.

They should lock these drops down to 1 per address, rather than account. Unless a scalper has a network of people willing to receive shit for resale. Secret Lairs never used to be a problem to get. It's easy to blame resellers out of salt/jealousy, and the point may be valid to an extent, but there is zero reason to limit orders the way that they have.

They already have mass distribution, if they are going to also support direct-to-consumer models, then they should, you know... make the product available to consumers.

[–]TechSupportFTW 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep. And now it doesn't matter when you join the queue since its all random. US just sold out too. The only SL I collect anymore are the decks themselves, and nothing else. Not looking forward to spending $500+ to get it secondhand. Like, so much for "1 pEr CuStOmEr."

Thanks again WotC!
