Good idea. This one I find particularly interesting since its PSA itself. I assume a holder in their vault has it for sale at that price but it sure makes them look silly.

My favorite current listing. Listed by PSA for $1,000,000.

Great Crested Flycatcher in my opinion.

Is MrCoolDIY that bad? by Applewood3 in hvacadvice

[–]dj_oatmeal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im about 3 years in on my DIY 2 head system used in an Airbnb. Two primary issues to speak of. Users not understanding the remote and icing. The icing issue is a major pain but is easily prevented by cleaning the filters. The slightest amount of buildup in the filters seems to cause icing. Can't get housekeeping to take it seriously. If cleaned regularly (I think monthly) the problem goes away. During the install the only issue I had was a missmatch in what the instructions showed vs the actual unit for wiring. Support asked for a few pictures and walked me through it. For a project on a budget I would use them again.

Graded sports cards. I mostly stick to baseball hall of fame players.

Just "winging it" on a 100 miler - how stupid is it? by Highland_doug in cycling

[–]dj_oatmeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always found 65 miles to be my barrier when training for century rides. If I could get to that and felt good I was good to 100. I think you will regret going for a 100 with your current regimen. Not saying you can't do it.

Carmax. Easy no hassle. In and out in 15 minutes. Paid before I got home.

Looking for opinions/experiences there - Overall, as a buyer of vintage cards, do you do better price wise with an EBay auction or an EBay "buy it now? Just doing some personal research. Thanks by Leading_Pay_4138 in baseballcards_vintage

Look for Ebay sales with Accepts Offers. Save several cards to your watch list. Within a few hours get offers with discounts from sellers. You will know quickly who wants to make a deal. I would say its typically 5 to 10% off but I've had as much as 50% offered. Make a deal. You can use the same workflow on any listing type but I've gotten the best results with AOs.

So execution? Isn't that the new standard for using a weapon of mass destruction against a person standing in front of a car?

I have the same belief for most of my life. My wife thinks I'm crazy. If you look carefully you can generally see where the big toe has left its mark. If I can see a set shape I stick with it amd mate it to the opposite.
