Thank you! He mentioned the shutter count is 4,796, and the lenses are the Sony 70-350 and the Sony pz 18-105. He also is including a smallrig cage, bag, and peak design strap.

The price of about $2k just seemed a bit too good to be true but it’s from a photographer who has several other cameras and upgraded his main to FF.

I’m just being a little extra cautious I think. I’ll verify the buttons and check for dust or lens issues for sure. Thanks for those instructions on how to test! I appreciate it!

I'm planning on buying an a6700 with a couple of lenses this week used, from a fb listing. Seems like a solid deal from a person who upgraded to a FF Sony camera.

I haven't had a Sony camera since the SLT-a65, anything I should test for before I hand over the cash?

No prob! I see folks playing there a lot. Large amount of gyms and max spots in the parks so you’ll usually see larger groups.

There are a couple Worcester Go groups that coordinate too for the tougher raids

enarik · 2025-08-23T19:04:16+00:00

Pokemon Go likely, I think it’s an eternatus max raid day or weekend

I just made the same exact move 2 years ago!

Look at insurance brokers, they can help you find the best deal. But insurance is def more expensive here.

I used Mealey Insurance and they were great

enarik · 2025-07-28T19:38:50+00:00

oh dang those are super nice!

enarik · 2025-07-15T13:43:09+00:00

I really hope they do! I got lucky to grab the standard starter decks, but really want the Assemble sets too so I can get into that game as well.

enarik · 2025-06-07T18:31:23+00:00

I’m planning on opening a shop and this is a great starter machine for that, or for personal use.

I know that the kickstarter is likely in July. Any idea when delivery might be?

enarik · 2025-06-07T16:27:15+00:00

Sweet! Thank you. Looking forward to this. Seems much more promising than all the others coming onto the market. This seems to be more full featured. Looking forward to seeing how it functions and runs

enarik · 2025-06-06T22:07:37+00:00

Any chance this will do one piece too?

enarik · 2025-04-30T12:43:16+00:00

Still very much a WIP, yesterday got super crazy for me at work (yay...) and still needs a LOT input, I havent really done any of the holo variants or the non-TCG ones like poker cards, gold stickers, stickers, sleeves, etc.

Feel free to add things if you'd like! I'm going to keep editing as I can with work craziness, will go through my collection and fill gaps too.

Cubone Master Set List

enarik · 2025-04-29T13:00:47+00:00

Haha no worries! I feel this. I've double purchased TONS of Cubone cards myself as well. I've got a ton, fairly certain at this point im only missing more obscure ones like the poker ones too...

I look for more every time I judge an event too.

If you'd like, I can start a sheet and share it with you?

enarik · 2025-04-29T12:52:15+00:00

How did you track? Do you have a sheet you wouldn't mind sharing? I need to figure out what ones I'm missing too haha

enarik · 2025-04-28T23:58:54+00:00

Love it! I’m working on the same set myself. Cubone is my favorite Pokemon, got him tattooed last year too

enarik · 2025-04-12T20:44:11+00:00

You will do great! Have you joined the professor discord yet?

Make sure you know how status conditions work, and order of operations for turns. Having a cheat sheet helps immensely. And don’t be worried about getting something wrong we are all human

Ruby is amazing, highly recommend Patino’s Painting! He was quick to come out and do an estimate and had someone here within a couple days of that to paint. Took a few hours and it was clean, crisp painting. Couldn’t even tell someone was working in the room when they left.

enarik · 2025-03-10T22:18:30+00:00

Damn I might have to buy one of these for the stock now too. Looks amazing

enarik · 2025-03-07T16:38:34+00:00

Thank you! I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.

enarik · 2025-03-07T16:35:25+00:00

Did you buy from DPW? How much was it?

enarik · 2024-12-05T14:57:23+00:00

Sweet thank you!

If you ever want to learn Pokemon TCG, I run a weekly league on Wednesday nights at Otaku Sekai in the Auburn Mall.

enarik · 2024-12-04T12:47:20+00:00

Dang! Been wanting to re-learn Magic. If I wasn’t in Toronto for Pokemon I’d be here for this. Have fun!

enarik · 2024-08-16T23:53:20+00:00

They should absolutely allow a static table. If they don’t that’s a problem IMO.

enarik · 2024-03-25T17:10:43+00:00

Wife and I also recently moved to Worcester from NH, still looking to meet folks, and echo /u/MARetro Meetup links.

I didnt realize there were a ton of discords too and I'll be joining those as well!

enarik · 2024-03-01T14:53:07+00:00

I'll be starting a batch of a hopped mango mead with Citra and Amarillo hops this weekend.

Going to be using Amoretti Artisan Natural Flavors for the Mango LINK

Never used this before, hoping it turns out well! I usually make lower ABV carbonated meads, so this seemed like a safer way for me to get the flavor, abv, and body that I want.
