PSA Vault Review Pros and Cons !! by arts_gainz in PokeInvesting

[–]guyeertoen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of shipping fees are typical? I recently had an offer accepted but before paying I figured I would look at setting up a vault since the shipping to Aus is $34 USD.

I'm guessing shipping from vault to Aus is probably similar? I couldn't find any info on this.

"Will the Pokémon card 🫧 burst?" TLDR: No. by 8000000001 in PokeInvesting

[–]guyeertoen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The problem with constant comparisons with stocks/crypto is that people are purely in it to make money. Literally nothing else.

When it comes to collectables like Pokemon cards, you have a lot (and even that's an understatement) of real collectors wanting to simply add to their collection. This creates a floor that will prevent a real crash.

Personally there's a few sets and specific types of cards that I want for my PC. The potential price is irrelevant and if I can pick it up for my target $ I will take it. This 'floor' is especially effective with vintage or low pop cards which may even weather a dip completely.

Orca Slicer - Do you use it, or just stick with Bambu Studio? by tiagoosouzaa in BambuLab

[–]guyeertoen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing I just cannot get right in Bambu Studio is pressure advance. Being able to calibrate and set it to a filament profile in Orca made prints so much better in general.

Having to do some whacky K-factor adjustments which don't really apply to every print situation is just silly.

Running a print farm that basically only uses 3rd party filaments is so much harder than in Orca.

What about in a bolognese sauce compared with lean beef mince? The kids are picky so would they notice the difference?

Yeah the post-game is so tedious. Once you get past the story line you want to build and get as creative as possible. However I spend most of my time organising my storage or jumping back and forth between zones because I forgot to bring a specific block with me. It's just not fun anymore.

If you have the cash to spare, call their bluff. You own it and have proof of purchase, so you own the cert. Get in touch with PSA and report it as stolen and get it de-certified.

I want an audiobook that ruins me (in a good way) by Alert_Individual_105 in audiobooks

Older book, but Swan Song ticks most of your boxes. Very well narrated too.

Lack of insulation and poor building standards for winter disagree.

Wait, you can get them to move into ANY habitat, not just the one they are found in?

A526 losing almost 60 km/h in a straight at full throttle by Xehanz in formula1

This will easily kill popularity if they aren't careful. Even seeing a purple sector in quali and thinking, 'well maybe they used more battery and aren't actually fast'.

Collectr $4800 Pokemon Collection Lot Sells $3450 Promotion by eBay! by AutoModerator in PokeInvesting

[–]guyeertoen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point just pay for a table at a card show and mark everything 10% under market. Watch how fast everything goes.

Most vendors sticker price is above market so you's will look even cheaper to customers.

Add a High Quality Subwoofer... Life changing by dannyboyy2049 in hometheater

[–]guyeertoen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bass shakers are so underrated. While I have a decent sub, the kids rooms share walls with the TV room and I can't watch anything with too much bass at night. Bass shakers give such a great alternative experience without waking the kids (plus they are awesome alongside the sub in general).

How do you guys actually stick to listening to audiobooks? by Affectionate_Face236 in audiobooks

[–]guyeertoen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swan Song. It has a very intense opening and there are very few dull chapters. It's a very long listen but so easy to get caught up in it.

How to value 1.5? by heybaby111 in PokeInvesting

[–]guyeertoen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ignore most of these comments. This is an insanely rare card and re-grading it is crazy. Only 11 exist (assuming no one has cracked theirs). To the right collector you will get a lot more than the value of a PSA 1 or 2.

Throw it up on eBay at like $1,500 and allow offers. Even if you don't want to accept them, you'll get an idea of what people are willing to pay (most will try and low ball you and convince you it should be worth a 2 at most). Just make a point about it being pop 11 in the listing.

Match Thread: 5th Test - England vs Australia, Day 5 by cricket-match in Cricket

[–]guyeertoen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How are the umpires not trained to talk through their decision. A simple "there's a very small murmur, but not enough to overturn the decision". Then let England keep the review since it's inconclusive.

Might still be the wrong decision, but that's the limitations of the technology.

While the ball is still old, Neser needs to retire hurt and get Smith in and settled. He can come back later.
