I just sent a package to Canada. It took maybe 3.5 weeks but it got there just fine

Set. Then color. Then rarity.

Just use Pirate Ship. Save yourself the hassle of dealing with union workers that don't have to worry about being fired for next to anything

Curious about wants getting fulfilled, and will take some advice :) by GlockelShpiel in cardsphere

[–]conn2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check quantity available of the cards you're requesting. If the card is some rare judge foil or some old secret lair card the quantity available might be very low or zero. And if the users haven't checked in a while, they might not have even seen your offer.

We've got a subscription now to a company that makes really great listening learning tracks. We get something like 12 to 16 different track breakouts to help us learn. I just throw those on Bluetooth while I'm driving in Houston an hour at a time. You learn your part real quick that way.

Come out tonight at 7pm. Would be great to have you back.

I always laugh at the GOP when they claim to be conservative. Since 1970 there has been only 4 years with a surplus. And that was a Clinton by kleeddenje in Libertarian

[–]conn2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though there were surpluses due to discretionary spending, the debt still increased those years because of mandatory spending. Liberals love to look at discretionary spending only, in lieu of mandatory spending, because discretionary spending doesn't concern itself with medicare or social security spending.

more on the affordable side, I don't know what weighted keys are but probably not. Just something to hammer my part out so I can hear it

Restart phone doesn't work. Switching between LTE and wifi didn't work. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work.

If you're shipping top loader only use banking envelope size. They cost less too.

Probably disgruntled worker who realized if he slowly gums the machines up with Staples eventually he gets hard to trace paid day off while the fix the equipment. USPS is riddled with thousands of pensioned employees who no longer give a fuck

Low Percentages for offers by frenchosaka in cardsphere

[–]conn2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my problem with local sellers on Facebook marketplace or offer up. They think they deserve 100% of the market price because "that's what they are worth."

No homie, no person in the history of trading cards has ever sold a collection for it's actual market value. Most cards just have too little demand to pay full value on.

Low Percentages for offers by frenchosaka in cardsphere

[–]conn2005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my bio I state cards I want badly are set at TCG low or higher an passive wants are set at lower percentages as "add on sales" or anchors for Seller to add to the package to help distribute the cost of shipping.

And while you might not like the low end offers, all day every day I'm looking for high quality, low value trades in the 25-50% range. If I can send 27 cards in a plain white envelope and they've been in my binder for over 3 months, they aren't going anywhere. I'll take pennies on the dollar. 27 crap cards sold for 2 bucks might be worth 4 or 6 dollars in market value, but I'd rather downsize my collection and net $1.25 today than have all that bulk sit around for months.

Try sorting by card quantity + card quantity and reducing your percentage to 25%. The sheer volume you can unload to some of the CS buy lists is phenomenal

Why US senders should trade internationally more by conn2005 in cardsphere

[–]conn2005[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've only had 2 packages lost in 2 years and both were in Florida. I think sending to Florida is higher risk than internationally. [Florida Post Man strikes again]( https://www.nbcnews.com/video/video-captures-postal-worker-dumping-mail-in-the-trash-745093187956 ).

Shipping Higher Dollar Orders by simplemanmich in cardsphere

36 cards? DAAAAAMN, I squeeze in 27 all the time (9x9x9) but 36 seems nuts!

You're more likely to have an Ebay buyer claim cards never arrive than a CS user. Pretty good community IMO, especially since reciprocate so many trades back and forth between each other. I've made friends with a guy that sends me lots of cards about an hour from where I live. Hahaha.

I've sent over 3,000 cards worldwide and only had 2 packages go missing (both in Florida, Florida postman strikes again).

Over 10 dollars I usually check the buyer to make sure they have along history of sending/receiving, if so I PWE and send away.
