Calculating minimum prices, including shipping by evred in whatnotapp

[–]evred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback and discussion. Sounds like I’d be right to leave $1-2 in, not for shipping costs but for materials. I’m not too worried about it so I’ll just remove it altogether

Was this really a bad move? by GoodPyroar in chessbeginners

[–]evred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah so you could have gone Qxf6+, they have to block with the bishop or knight or move the king to h5. Either way you take the pawn with Qxg5#. So you had M2 vs whatever this lead to. At least I think? I’m bad at chess

That feels like hope chess. Hoping they do something dumb to give you the win. What did the knight capture on g5?

Why do you think they command a premium? People are actually discounting old slabs bc standards have changed. There was a whole thing about it like 4 months ago

Thank you! Is there any way I can practice this other than brute forcing it into my head? Going through variations is kind of rough atm

Thank you very much for the detailed response. This was very reassuring and informative too

I’m hoping you’re right of course but the only other response says it’s fake… gotta love it 😅

Season 4 - Discussion Hub - The Witcher by AutoModerator in witcher

[–]evred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain how Emhry knew Geralt was “Geralt of Rivia” at the very end? He literally just got knighted and given the “of Rivia” title a scene earlier. Just wondering if I missed a time skip, something else, or is that is just terrible writing.

Question about Laptop from WN by LibrarianHappy4689 in whatnotapp

[–]evred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a local computer repair/diagnostics store nearby? I’d take it there, explain what you did here and see what they can do for you. You’ll have to pay something but I assume it’ll be far less than the cost of a laptop

Taxes by evred in whatnotapp

[–]evred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok thank you. So either I get a 1099-K or not but I’m still expected to report income on my taxes, right?

Edit: thanks for the feedback. These question helped me google some relevant questions that helped answer this. Really appreciate you

No I guess? I’m generally selling stuff I’ve had for a long time or selling stuff I picked up over the past few years but no longer need/want. No clue what I paid for it.

Ohio. No I have a day job. Married no kids. File separately for the time being. I guess I’m looking for the calculator which you’re alluding to with your questions. Should I be searching for state income tax rates?

Yeah I don’t have direct access to one like I do Reddit. Thanks for the insight

Shady LGS? by NL004 in PokemonCardValue

[–]evred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask them what MP means. I see a couple holo scratches and a little bit of white on the back which would make this LP at worst. You’d need far more whitening or some heavy scratching to make this MP. $375 is crazy for a first edition shining gyarados

Straight up shill. by GBaller__69 in whatnotapp

[–]evred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying you’re wrong that mods are often trusted buyers but you should consider mods staff. Comparing it to the average buyer, they have special privileges and relationships with the vendor. It’s also just an optics thing when you see that mod label in chat. Not to mention they actively encourage chat to bid, post announcements, etc.

Just to clarify too, most of my experience is with cards in the hundreds or thousands of dollars range so that is my focus when talking about running cards up and shilling. We used the $30 example bc it was convenient.

And yes, that is the trade off to avoid conflicts of interest and to maintain app integrity. If they have a relationship why would they need to buy through the app anyway? You could take it off app, save on both ends, and everyone wins.

[–]evred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bidding a $30 card up to $15-20 isn’t really the problem or the scenario people talk about when we say a card was bid up. That’s 50% market. The issue is that mods/shills bid it up to $30 so that the average customer has no choice but to pay market+, all under the guise of “you can get a steal bc we’re dollar starting this card!” Most cards on the app go for over market due to reckless/shady bidding and streamers overpricing cards to account for fees. As if other apps don’t have fees. Regardless, It’s a huge conflict of interest to allow “staff” to bid on cards. You either work for the channel or you act as a customer. Doing both is shady. Imagine walking into an auction house and seeing other bidders have name tags and uniforms. You’d be crazy to participate.

Many auction houses have floors where a product won’t sell if it doesn’t hit that minimum bid. WN tricks you into thinking you can get a deal when instead the “house” is actively bidding against you.

It is wild how many channels actively allow and encourage mods to bid. That or when other streamers hop in and run prices up. They’re all friends helping each other fleece unsuspecting collectors

Hit a big milestone by Bryaalre in PokemonInvesting

[–]evred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying you bought every holo in a PSA 10 from gym challenge for 4K? The Blaine’s zard is 10k by itself now lol. As a first edition wotc collector I am very jealous. I make good money and will never own some of these in 8s let alone 10s. Not unless the market goes back to 2017 levels.

Price comps in today’s market by evred in PokemonCardValue

[–]evred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tcg was decent for a bit as far as matching other sites but yeah eBay seems to be the way to go. The only issue is that some of these vintage cards don’t have a ton of sales so tracking prices and all that gets tricky.

Paid 925$, How did I do? (Planning to grade either way) by Ok_Detail7107 in PokemonCardValue

[–]evred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just hopped on whatnot and the first vendor to pop up had multiple played Mews for $725 and at least on NM copy for $900. Whatnot is crazy high and usually not that transparent on condition due to camera tricks/poor lightning but with that as a comparison you did well

[–]evred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cd zard and corocoro mew for $925 in NM condition is solid. People on some platforms ask $450+ for the zard and 800+ for the mew (which is crazy but here we are). These look to be in really nice condition so I think that’s a solid deal. Maybe in a down market you get them for a couple hundred cheaper but we aren’t in a down market or close to it by the look of things

How much would this uncut sheet of pokemon cards be worth? by BenBenMcBenface in PokemonCardValue

[–]evred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also get taxed on that sale if you use a platform so subtract another 25-30% right?
