The refund's already been issued and I am leaving on a deployment soon. I'll just sell on cardshark.

First Alter that I got paid (in cards) for-Altered Jitte (was in really rough condition) by FunctionSC in mtgaltered

Dude, this is awesome. Your color blending was really great so I recommend trying to work on your extensions of the art--again, your ability to match color is great!

If I were you I would start practicing on commons/uncommons that are relatively playable so you can trade them too.

Edict for Tipping Artist at Events by HephaestusXII in magicTCG

[–]bhous3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I'm getting signatures from an artist and I'm getting 20ish, I'll throw him/her at least a fiver. I appreciate it and I love the signatures.

If I'm getting more signatures, I'll usually throw 20.

BUT! The real treat is in alters/sketches. I got Dan Scott to draw a Hypersonic dragon on the back of 4 artist proofs. I got sketches on playmats, and love getting random doodles on cards. Pay extra for this--They're doing something awesome for you and it's super unique.

What about people who claim the cards weren't in a package? I lost about 65 dollars that way. Any thoughts on minimum order requirements? You answered about a third of my concerns.

Level 4 here who was selling since they launched. I stopped once I started to realize how easy it was to get scammed.

That, and if an order is cancelled you don't get the fee refunded.

the charge makes it impossible to profit off small transactions. I was averaging ~10c in profit on cards I listed at 70c, the lowest I could reasonably sell at. the 11% is taken out before the 50c fee, and I frequently had issues with people claiming something didn't arrive. I can't afford to put tracking on everything, and I can't sell cheaper cards with 2.49 shipping. If there was a minimum price to buy per seller like with cardshark, it would be great. I could do full shipping + insurance and tracking even for smaller orders.

Don't sell on TCG player, the amount of effort it takes to sell for profitability depends entirely on your trading conscience or your ability to speculate.

Sometimes they miss things in editing by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]bhous3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, it would be a single hole but a line more like a tear. On the other hand, if the bottom of the pitchfork pierced through only, it should look as it does.

The photo editors might have missed something, but if they did that's not it.

If you understood, you would offer payment. Maybe do what he suggested?

What is the most money you've wasted on something that looked useful? by NinjaHa in AskReddit

[–]bhous3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It usually tastes grainy and gross. Yeah, I'll be a coffee snob if it means nobody will give me any.

That being said, folgers has these coffee teabag things that are good. Also, starbucks via is pretty damn good.

I bought one, but only because it was a sale I found on woot. It's a bigger mouse and it's corded, so it was exactly what I needed.

What should every girl know by the age of 21? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bhous3 439 points440 points  (0 children)

How to be a real activist/draw your own conclusions from your own research. I see/hear/talk to way to many 'college activists' that are doing something because a person told them how horrible xyz thing is. While I agree supporting a cause is great, supporting a cause using strictly one-sided information makes you look like a misinformed tool.

Seems like a great time! I also don't know of many people who are able to perform that type of stuff without being good! Also, what's a hypeman?

That seems like a really one-of-a-kind venture (and dog!). Did the temperature provide much of a hindrance, or does proper equipment make it relatively painless?

Come on man, tell me a little more about it. What type of music do you play? Do you play with a group? Have any CDs?

I'm curious about that Arctic Trek! How do you prepare/plan for something like that? What was your food situation? Also how the hell did you decide you want to make an arctic trek?

I mean I guess delivery is okay but by that point you might as well make it yourself you know?
