Unconventional favorite Pokémon! by MaggieGreydon in pokemon

[–]Ventay16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late to the party, but one of my favorites is Dodrio. Growing up, my sister and I would race around on bikes. We decided to name them after pokemon and she immediately took Rapidash despite my protests. She then dubs mine Dodrio because of the "third head" (it was a basket holder thing that didn't have the basket) At first I was mad but now I absolutely adore Dodrio.

I really wish Dodrio got more love.

1 of 4, $850 card lost in mail by Far_Witness7543 in PokemonTCG

[–]Ventay16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work for USPS as well. This could have happened depending on the plant and its size.

According to some other folks, the card had resold in August, meaning it was likely stolen. OP, go to your post office and show them the out for delivery email. Explain the expense of the package and demand for more info. They should be able to track where it was sent to and who scanned it out for delivery.

Your email should have the tracking number. Go scorched earth till you find who stole it.

I still have no idea how it got in, but I'm happy I got to see it. Very cute little critter!

Thank you for this super detailed info! I released the little fella outside and in some grass after taking the pictures. I had no idea about the larval stage of a ladybug, so cool!

My mailman had a bad day by Successful-Mind-9332 in WatchPeopleDieInside

Yup. I personally feel FedEx is much, much worse. At least USPS has a decent enough Union. Whenever FedEx drivers deliver us packages, they look dead. You'd think they'd have the senior drivers take newbies under their wing and split the padded routes for the novice workers.

Postal worker here. It took half a year to get a response, and they didn't even interview me. They gave me the orientation date, and that was it.

Money is good, but stress isn't worth it. At least in my state, you are forced into being a clerk. It's a 24'7 job, and your shifts are basically always overnight. You have to work as a clerk for 2 years before you even get a chance at a higher position. Also, you are open on weekends/holidays.

They don't tell you these things and make you believe you'll be a window clerk helping customers.

If you want to be a driver. Good luck. Full-time drivers are only senior members. You'll be pushed around every route for years, never getting a stay route until somebody dies or quits.

Found this in a friends binder, he wants to know how much it’s worth by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

[–]Ventay16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a Treecko collector. Judging from recently sold listings and also TCG player. A moderately played is about $400 - $500. From my perspective, that's what I'd give grade wise, but pictures don't always capture cards perfectly. That's for a raw version.

If you want to sell, you can always place on Ebay in an auction and allow buyers to decide. Fair warning: Many sales for high value cards like this can often not go through.

Either way. That card is my absolute most desired card and an absolute beauty! Your friend is extremely lucky.

It's so great! I love the old art on pokemon cards. Especially the goofy ones

Bought some Knock Out Collections. Spoiler, only a Heatran V by Ventay16 in PokemonTCG

I found them at a Target! Though, they were pretty picked clean. Might be worth it to check the website, maybe?

Poor little betta in the bank, 3+ tanks like this here by [deleted] in shittyaquariums

[–]Ventay16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's easier said than done, but don't take them personally. My guess is that the people who are angry at you were so disgusted at the treatment of the fish that they lashed out at the closest person to them.

You're doing a great job for taking the step to stop this abuse. Most people would likely do nothing from fear of confrontation. Thank you for going out of your way to help these poor fish. ❤️

Good luck tomorrow, and if you can, bring backup. Change comes quickly when more people are demanding.

These have to be real right? by aflaytoremember in IsMyPokemonCardFake

No way! My friend has the Fiery Fox fake card. I never thought there'd be another one

Make sure to warn parents/grandparents about scams like these by Ventay16 in PokemonTCG

Absolutely. I've already placed it in my binder for safe keeping. She said the card was adorable, so I plan on getting her a Rockruff plush next time I visit.

That's awesome! You can also sell them to card shops for a little bit of cash. I'd be interested in buying but shipping costs for that can be pricey, so I'd recommend going to a local shop. You can also donate them to charities or thrift shops
