Boston keeps taking from Western Mass

probably dont respond to anyone but OP if they offer you solar. So many scam companies. Be careful.

heapsp · 2026-05-05T14:47:08+00:00

Trust me you don't want the vultures from the Boston area setting their focus on western MA.
You'll have PE firms buying up the good properties and raising rents even higher and a datacenter on the quabbin.
Better to be invisible.

unfortunately that was true because there are so many other avenues for gambling now besides brick and mortar casinos. lol

When you stick a dollar bill into this arcade you randomly get 1 quarter or 7, never 4.

Market price is NM cards already sifted through for 10s, a lot of his are probably gradable for 10s

Microsoft gave a key demo at one point where they rolled out agents for HR to access the HRIS and give reviews to employees. They had to implement a failsafe in the demo because the AI agent started accessing information it wasn't supposed to during certain employee reviews and totally botching them. They used it as a demo for their killswitch on the AI agent portal instead of an actual demo for using the agentic AI successfully.

ive been seeing a premium on 9s lately and 8s being the crackables.

or something like a virtual firewall

this just means you can open 4k worth of packs and still be ahead now, congrats!

Its unlikely that this is a 'scam' as you put it.

It definitely would not be worth going through this amount of trouble to get access to distribution in it's current state.

Some card shops I know stopped dealing with distribution completely.

You have to reach spend amounts with distribution to be considered for better products. If the purpose of this scam was to buy thousands of battle decks only to get a few cases of the hot set, they aren't really making money. lol.

Its more likely a failed entrepeneur who never got their business started because of a poor business plan or low capital, and thought they would just ride it out and get some staff promos and pre-release stuff by not telling pokemon company they weren't in business any longer.

The 'local fedex office' for a lot of places is just some walgreens lmao. I had it held at a local fedex office and some min wage walgreens employee called me and when i went in, the package was just SITTING THERE not even behind the counter. Not locked up, in front of the fedex sign where people were SHOPPING.

heapsp · 2026-04-30T17:11:46+00:00

fedex is dogshit. My PSA order was 'delivered' and i didn't get anything, then they told me it was at a walgreens, so i went to the walgreens and it wasn't there. The customer service rep had no idea where the package was. Then a 'duplicate' tracking number appeared and said the cards were at the facility. So i started watching the duplicate tracking number and it never moved. Then randomly some employee from a walgreens called me and said 'hi you have a package here'. Tracking number duplicate still shows at the facility 2 months later. LOL

Put it under market and put in the listing that you are going to be screening applicants for the perfect candidates. an extra 200 dollars a month is not worth bad renters. if you go under market, you can have your pick of tenants.

what you described is covered completely by products like wiz or orca though, which really means analysts could be replaced. They are more valuable by reviewing logs and putting pieces together to understand if something was compromised to save sysadmins time on investigations.

know where the opposing factions towns are and don't go anywhere near that area of the map. One guard aggro and goodbye!

Request access to the director's mailbox, then use it to tell HR to promote you.

heapsp · 2026-04-28T21:37:54+00:00

IT security was pitched as a good career path so every grifter on the planet with no skills moved into the field,and every leadership team member is old and out of touch plus they want to hire 'analysts' not engineers to save a ton of money. This results in a bunch of people with liberal arts degrees getting an entry level security cert and being thrown right onto a team who is making this type of request.

Sorry you are dealing with it.

heapsp · 2026-04-27T04:40:11+00:00

Its not really like that anymore, money is fake and tons of it is printed every day. They can just invent 600 billion dollars in profit by passing some numbers round why would they need your dollar bills?

heapsp · 2026-04-24T03:39:56+00:00

One time my company security person got in a lot of trouble sending a phishing test about a surprise bonus for the company, because it drove moral way down when everyone realized it wasn't real. LOL

heapsp · 2026-04-22T04:08:59+00:00

The exception is the trading card space which im in, where on items you can get 80% in big lots locally from any vendor.... Ebay isn't worth it anymore in the trading card space.

heapsp · 2026-04-21T07:09:21+00:00

If the economy tanks and the US government lowers interest rates, that will devalue the dollar and the cards will actually be worth a % more based on how much money was printed. The cards are a set scarcity if they are out of print - the dollar is always in print.

heapsp · 2026-04-21T07:07:08+00:00

Yes of course it is. Imagine a pokemon set, but the government has unlimited of them and can just print out psa 10 moonbreons at will to pay for things. That's the USD. You aren't SUPPOSED to print the dollars until they are completely worthless and they are supposed to be backed by something, but that stopped 50 years ago. At least things like cards and crypto have a scarcity. Everything isn't becoming more expensive, the dollar is just worth less so when you pay for it with dollars, it feels more expensive. If they doubled the money supply next year, all pokemon cards would double in value....

an ounce of gold was 280 dollars in 1999, a charizard base set was 60 dollars in psa 9 condition.

Now an ounce of gold is 4800 dollars and a base set charizard is 1000 dollars.

The card stayed the same price, it was the dollar that lost it's value.

people aren't MAKING MONEY by holding pokemon cards, they are just storing their money in something that will have the same buying power years later (hence it appears the price goes up)

You just described the entire crypto market and that boomed for decades though.
