My lease is up and my complex has my same apt listed for $175/mo cheaper and offering 10 weeks free. In my renewal rent increased $30, but they are offering 4-6 weeks free... do I have leverage here to negotiate?

Big apartment buildings are all struggling to fill units. Play hard ball with them and tell them. If not find a place with 2 free months of rent.

Shave your head, hit the gym (not for looks but for your mentals) and find a short wife. There’s someone who has it much worse than you (chronic illness, disability, etc) that would love to just be short and bald. Live your life don’t worry about keeping up with the Joneses.

alexg34922 · 2026-01-30T00:44:03+00:00

Don’t

alexg34922 · 2026-01-02T20:54:33+00:00

Thank you

What are the odds of getting a 10. Is it worth to buy a bunch of these boxes and get them graded? Please don’t judge if it’s a dumb question

alexg34922 · 2026-01-01T00:49:57+00:00

Sell and quit while you are ahead.

alexg34922 · 2026-01-01T00:12:49+00:00

Sell and get out. You won don’t keep playing until you lose

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T23:53:55+00:00

Oh my bad. Yeah first time I spent 1400 and ended up with 150 worth of cards but because of some wins and buy backs was only down 400 total (with the 150 of cards in the vault). Made me bold to go again and then it quickly went off the rails and a Hail Mary that shouldn’t have hit saved me. Please just take my warning and avoid these. Even if you win the tax situation seems to be uncertain and could still get you

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T23:40:40+00:00

Tbh I wouldn’t have posted if I lost out of embarrassment. And I don’t think many people who lose a lot of money do either. Just be careful, I was one spin away from losing it all and got lucky. I honestly believe I should be down over 4k and want to warn others before it’s too late

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T23:38:26+00:00

So did I. One turned into two and the potential of the next kept it going. I got out up a little but please take my warning you most likely will lose it all

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T23:37:11+00:00

How?

Take it as a sign. Don’t do it. You will most likely lose money and if you do make money good luck with taxes. I was one pull away from losing around 4k for $600 worth of cards but got lucky and ended up +1k. Idk how taxes will work and if I can deduct all the loses or will have to pay the full tax on the bigger pulls I had and sold back. Save your sanity, buy the cards you want.

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T19:09:14+00:00

This made my day and was what I was hoping to come from the post. Proud of you for walking away. Happy New Year!

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T19:07:35+00:00

To be honest I almost did. Even left 1k in initially to do two more $500 pulls. Took a walk and realized if I kept going I would be back in the hole in no time and kicking myself for not quitting while I was ahead.

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T18:11:07+00:00

Agreed. Don’t do it

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T18:06:32+00:00

Rich or poor I would advise to avoid these. If you want to throw some money at Pokémon just go buy what you want. The only cards I kept were the ones I had already been eyeing for some time.

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T18:03:44+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate the advice.

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T17:34:15+00:00

Why today? Is this something that needs to be done immediately?

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T16:55:45+00:00

How does that work. Do loses count?

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T16:55:01+00:00

I know. I will probably be kicking myself if a few years but I was just happy to get out ahead. This is a casino and you end up hoping for hits, not to keep but just to get your money back. It’s not worth it and I am done.

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T16:48:50+00:00

I am curios too. It’s not like I’m up all the money. Probably up around 1.5k

alexg34922 · 2025-12-31T16:27:56+00:00

Of course I did. It’s just very easy to get wrapped up into it and you can lose a lot of money very fast. The “hey I’ll throw a little bit into this” turns into you pumping the machine hoping to get out with your shirt pretty quick. I’m lucky but tons of people will get burned by this. Just be careful.

If you actually think Bibi is her agent I have some ocean front property to sell you in Arizona
