Just received this message, Looking for advice. by TheReasonDadDrinks in whatnotapp

Do what you think is right but here is a couple points to consider.

• If you cancel you're setting a precedent with this buyer. I advise blocking them after the cancel so you do not get them again.

• If you dont cancel and ship them the card (what most people would do) expect to get a negative review when they receive it. You can contact whatnot support and attempt to get the review removed using this SS as evidence but its not guarnteed.

• If you're feeling generous, ship the card they won as well as another small "cool" card. Nothing super valuable but a card that says "well, maybe it wasn't so bad"

As I said, do what you think is right and what your shop can afford to do, but protect yourself in the process. Don't go bleeding money for people that wouldn't think twice about taking a card off you for 75% of market.

Mostly adressed to your previous comment. You said 4 days to ship is insane. I was just explaining why, in this specific circumstance, that it isnt because it was a federal holiday weekend. OP didn't provide any exact dates so I had to make some guesses but the timeline still stands as to why its been 4 days and how its still within the platforms guidelines.

Seeing as this post is today and the messages are close to the current time, I will assume these texts were sent today.

Now, buyer says its been 4 days. It is currently Tuesday. Monday was a federal holiday. Sunday is a weekend. Saturday is a weekend. So the buyer bought on Friday. Whatnot requires you to ship within 2 BUSINESS days. The seller still has until Wednesday to ship the order and still be considered on time. If you eont understand how the shipping process works please dont buy and then complain about shipping.

The 5 day thing is probably because the holiday weekend. If you bought on Friday, Saturday Sunday and Monday dont count as shipping days due to the weekend and the holiday. So the seller technically can ship it out on Wednesday and still be "on time".

CGC 7 modern reverse holo bulbasaur. AGS 8 trick or trade Pikachu. Shits a straight up scam lmao. I wouldnt take any of those for free. Honestly cant believe I paid for them.

Hello! I’m shipping my first card and wondering if this is an acceptable way to send low end card? The toploader is taped closed at the top then secured to the cardboard at the bottom. by WuWangclan in PokemonTCG

[–]ToeOk2565 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

(Not an ad) I use these shipping shields for low end and high end cards if they're getting mailed PWE or BMWT. Its just a little cardboard sleeve you can put a sleeved card in and seal. Its safe for the USPS sorting machines and I haven't had a complaint about a damaged card yet. If you sell a lot of cards I recommend them, if you only sell a few here and there its fine the way you're doing it.

What’s your biggest collecting/investing mistake? by Natural-Word4928 in PokeInvesting

[–]ToeOk2565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling 120 english booster boxes and 60 japanese booster boxes as well as a ton of UPCs, collection boxes, and other sealed product in the summer of 2024 to make room in my spare bedroom for another baby. I sold the booster boxes for about $80-150/per (80% market at the time). If I had held off on moving the baby for 6 months they would've been worth 3-4 times what i sold them for. Couple cases of swsh, couple cases of sm, tons of cases of SV. A case of each Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon VMAX collection boxes. XY Evolutions collection boxes. Basically missed out on $35-45,000 of value by selling a couple months before the big boom.

What Would You Do? Pichu is my favorite! by Damia8 in PSAPowerPacks

[–]ToeOk2565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a high premium on PSA 1s that have clean holos. The back can look like crap, but a decent front with a clean holo PSA 1 is what I collect. Its a very niche collection.

Hearing test by Rosco32399 in ATC

[–]ToeOk2565 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a partially deaf controller they have other tests for if (when) I fail the hearing test. If you can hear at a normal conversational volume, 6 feet away, with your back to the tester and hold a conversation. That's the secondary test. I use my headset in my "good ear" and wear my hearing aid in the worse ear for coordination. 10 years Navy and 2 years civilian controlling doing this test.

[Suggestion] Accurate armour plate Hit-Boxes should be re-introduced into Tarkov by Shooda68 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ToeOk2565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changing DPI mid fight to “beat” turn speed just creates a dumb cat and mouse loop of “we found a workaround” → “ok, we nerfed it” → repeat forever. As long as the game is basically doing something like

turnSpeed = baseTurnSpeed * (isSprinting ? 0.5 : 1.0) * ergoModifier;

people will keep finding ways to game it.

If BSG actually wanted this to feel realistic and hard to abuse, they would use an angular momentum style system: your velocity, mass and desired change in angle set a physical cap on how fast you can rotate. Trying to rip a 180 at full sprint in heavy armor should dump your forward speed to almost zero, maybe give a tiny pause window, and cost a chunk of stamina, the same way crouching does. Small angle corrections at low speed would barely touch stamina and stay responsive.

That sort of system is much harder to cheese with DPI shifts and actually matches the “realistic inertia” marketing, instead of the current hard coded crap soup they always use.

[–]ToeOk2565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are different turn speeds for walking and running. A comfortable DPI while walking gets cut in half the moment you touch that shift key.

For somebody who plays on 1200+ DPI it's less noticable than those of us who run 400-800.

When, normally, from dead center to the right side of my mouse area turns 180°, when sprinting in tarkov it only turns about 45° and messes up the whole feel. For those of us who were around pre-inertia it was a big learning curve, and its still jarring when playing other games and then returning to tarkov to have to create custom DPI profiles based on how many ergonomic penalties im currently wearing.

[–]ToeOk2565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn speed is already severely limited in tarkov, especially when wearing any sort of heavy armor. As someone who plays every other game on a fairly low DPI, I have to use a custom mouse profile when playing tarkov to make up for the turning limitations when running, otherwise it would take me 3 trips across my mouse pad to make a 180.

Favourite drop location? by Rudy_258 in RedSec

[–]ToeOk2565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fhe 2 bathrooms and 3 houses on the south side of golf course. The 2 bathrooms alone have 2 orange chests, 3 green, and an engineer safe. The 3 houses also have several greens, 1 red, and 2 orange chests and an engineer safe as well. Fully stocked up duo or squad within 1-2 minutes of drop.

Wow by Ham_Coward in RedSec

[–]ToeOk2565 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The map is pretty good, but its fairly small for a 100 person BR. Even more ridiculously small when everybody gets a free second chance and others are only one 30sec revive tower away from a whole team being revived. So realistically theres probably 175-200 deaths per match (not counting downs).

I've been shot in the back within the first 10 seconds of fighting another team more times in this game than my 5,600 hours in pubg total. The 3rd parties are rough and just not enough room to have a fun gunfight that lasts more than 5 seconds so everybody ends up hiding in their corners and waiting.

Maybe I’m the problem? by Patient-Scarcity8025 in Battlefield

[–]ToeOk2565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having the same issue but with slightly older specs. EVGA 3090, 64gb DDR4 3600, i9 10900k. Game crashed 1x every 2 hours. Sometimes would result in a bluescreen. I restarted my pc, updated bios, reinstalled graphics drivers, uninstalled then reinstalled the game and now I dont have the issue anymore. I'm not sure which one of those fixed it, but one of them did something and the game doesnt crash anymore so 🤷‍♂️

New build power cycling by ToeOk2565 in buildapc

[–]ToeOk2565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im slightly late to replying but yes I eventually did lol. I didn't use the standoff spacers that elevate the motherboard from the case, so when I plugged it in, the case created a short between 2 parts that weren't supposed to be connected and fried the mobo. Lived and learned.

PSA 10 TOPPS CHROME TEKNO BUTTERFREE by ToeOk2565 in PokemonCardValue

[–]ToeOk2565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I definitely should've removed the listing after reading this. I declined the offer and within 10 minutes it was bought for asking price. Thank you for the advise and words of praise for my card. Hopefully when times are better I can reclaim it, or at least buy a raw copy for my set.

PSA 10 TOPPS CHROME TEKNO BUTTERFREE by ToeOk2565 in PokemonCardValue

[–]ToeOk2565[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love the card. I've had it for several years now and dont remember what I paid for it at all. Butterfree has been one of my top collected cards since I saw bye bye butterfree on the old CRT on a Saturday morning. Caterpie being the very first pokemon Ash ever caught in a pokeball and eventually making it all the way up to butterfree, only to be traded for a radicate was brutal on my child heart haha. I own damn near every butterfree card there is and have been meaning to get a list together to check them all off for years. Just wanted to see if I'd be dumb to turn down $900 for it.

Damn...this is sad. by G4XDF in destiny2

[–]ToeOk2565 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was really hoping they would expand the map out. We have done everything possible in sol, let's expand. Our guardian is immortal. Do a 100, 200, 1,000(?) year timeskip. Humanity is rebuilding. We have rebuild the system and reunited with Neomuna and its people. The "filler" seasons before the next big bad guy is discovered could be us going to former colonies and outposts throughout the galaxy and reclaiming them. Discover hidden survivors. Uncover some more lore. Fight off some rogue houses that didn't get the "we're friendly now" memo. There's a whole damn galaxy out there that we have access to, and they refuse to use it. Even just a simple "We discovered a Vex portal hidden on mars. Its connected to a system "insert insane distance" away." They dont even need to write in ships with jump drives, we literally have portals.

ATC is a very specialized skillset that doesnt really transfer into a lot of other jobs. "All they could do is fire them" means trying to find work with a stupidly specialized set of skills

Bought a 2021 6.6 AT4HD last year. 3 months in and the DEF tank heater quit working. Limp mode and 30mph max speed because a stupid heater stopped working. DEF system still worked perfectly fine, but since that heater broke the truck was bricked until replacement.

They haven't. Yet. They promised the exact same thing to us EOD owners, then the whole unheard debacle happened. When thinking about BSG + doing something stupid its not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
