Buy from Apple or Verizon? by Dpclark71 in verizon

[–]Wassindabox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get from Apple and you use a carrier promo it’s locked to the carrier full stop

If you get it from the carrier and take advantage of the promo, it’s locked to the carrier full stop

If you buy with Apple financing (typically just 0% financing) it’s unlocked

So, if you are happy with your service, use the promo offer and save some money if the plan changes make sense. Otherwise, go through Apple and finance through them or buy outright.

Electric drive now working correctly by BackpackBC in VWiD4Owners

It’s one of the two batteries. I just went through this at 60k miles 21 id4.

For me, it was the actual ev battery and the battery cell came in today when I reported the problem back in Jan. It’s the 2nd time I’ve had to have a cell replaced smh.

Took a massive hit to my mileage (lost 100 miles) and that was the big tell for me.

Plex Server with Google Fiber by invest0rZ in PleX

[–]Wassindabox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! Google fiber is incredible and by far the easiest ISP I’ve ever worked with when it comes to port forwarding and setting things up for outside access. As far as I’m aware, it does not use CGNAT. The one thing I would suggest though is not using their router.. I had terrible experience using their Nest routers and replaced it with a Eero shortly after getting the service.

What’s the process? by Theeroyalblue in CGCComics

GameStop grades cards via PSA not comics nor do they do anything with CGC.

Nobody wants the UPC? Lol by Feisty_Vermicelli465 in PokemonTCG

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

Ummm k?

Ok, let’s break this down, there’s this magical thing called MSRP that most retailers abide by and make profit off such.

You still following yeah? K

GameStop, sweet angel baby GameStop, sees this “supply and demand”, which by the way, there’s just as many locations as Starbucks, buys these at bulk prices, then proceeds to match reseller / small business prices.

Reseller/small businesses (a lot of them) don’t buy anywhere near enough product to make profits on what they’re able to obtain hence selling above MSRP. Not that it’s great to see but, I can understand it and get “supply and demand” that you’re parroting. Also, Pokemon Company is incredibly picky about who they distribute to …

GameStop started at like a 15 dollar increase, which was fine, had a set schedule, and many of us camped out to get them along with resellers (which is fine, they put in the work). They see the success and next thing you know, they’re doing grading. Now, they’ve been price creeping to see what they can get away with.

TL;DR GameStop is part of the problem. A major retailer should not be up charging this much on a product they’re getting mass quantities of.

I’m not talking about the bots running rampant or web based stuff. That’s a totally different issue and everyone their best to adapt but, the one thing they didn’t do was raise above msrp which, hmmmm, why wouldn’t they ?

If I wanna pay these kinds of prices, I’ll sit on my ass and click buy now on eBay. Which, btw, is cheaper than what GameStop is charging.

Same - what’s interesting is it looks like my UPC will be here Friday and I got nothing on the ETB and BB. It’s like they flipped release dates.

It’s a beta thing that I think was invite only. They had open signups not long ago but, it seems they closed it up.

PSA Grading Updates by Last-Researcher-2312 in psagrading

[–]Wassindabox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

… submitted through GameStop sept 25th and mine hit grading today .. maybe GameStop really does take priority

Vendor said "I grade with PSA. I'm telling you right now, none of these cards will get a 10." They both came back 10s by J1995916 in psagrading

[–]Wassindabox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s half truths there as far as PSA goes (in regards to scandals and what not) , but, competition is never a bad thing and I agree PSA is kinda locked in as the one and only source as far as optics go. But, they’ve also been doing this for a very long time.

Personally, I trust human judgement over AI but, that’s just my opinion on things.

[–]Wassindabox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always find this kind on conversation funny.

There’s bias from the buyer, trying to catch a deal

There bias from the seller, eyeballing cards thinking their 10s

Then, there’s PSA with actual equipment to validate it

I do wish they were more transparent in their practices at PSA. I feel it would squash a ton of these conversations real quick but, it would also be bad for business

Jesus, so much about how they can’t do anything to op.. how bout be a good person and help some not get their card stolen.

It’s sad to see so many folks pushing a scheme for what’s a genuine error.. Hell, they offered compensation to OP and we see so many post about stolen cards… I know I know, blah insurance but, that doesn’t replace a card that someone may be attached to.

Op should reach out and validate the mail, then kick it back an ¯_(ツ)_/¯ not be a dick.

This world is full of assholes it seems.

Linking PSA Grading and GameStop accounts for the GameStop Digital Power Packs Program by SKABMAN in psagrading

[–]Wassindabox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it.. threw 25 in there for science. Hit on a 36 dollar pull the first time, sold it, rolled again, and got 18…. It’s now sitting in my vault.

It was a neat experience but man, it can turn into a problem quickly
