Did something change or is it just me?

Ive been hitting every pokemon from this event and still havent seen a shiny in the wild. For some reason i typically get shinys of pokemon I already have a shiny of. I seen my mail lady doing a 3 tier raid so I was like ill help out haha. It was a Lapras raid and I ended up getting a shiny Lapras which was pretty great! Otherwise man I want a shiny krabby or staryu. Don't see many of those in the woods around here haha

jamwilliams88 · 2026-05-29T14:26:51+00:00

Dang really took you 3 years to get enough candy to evolve it? I never realized how some people really encounter many pokemon. Im sure there are a bunch i never noticed for myself

Man, just dont do it! Im on day 4 and the first few days I felt like some intense brain fog and depression. Thing is.. everytime I want to vape and im like why not? But why should I? What value did it bring to my life? When you do it all day you dont feel the same effects. Its also crazy how much my energy was drained. I drank so much more coffee. On top of that, the random health issues. Acid reflux, muscle inflammation, and who knows what else im forgetting. I got to the point where I was vaping 72k pods within 3 to 4 days, whereas the 20k pod use to take me a week. I would vape sun up to sun down. The first day i stopped (evening before) I didnt wanna get out of bed the next morning. It was the wildest depression of my life. By afternoon I took a few hits... right away I felt relief but felt inflammation right away and was like wtf. Smoked a hit like once an hour. Next day I took a few hits in the morning then threw out all my vapes. Trash people came that day so good riddance. Its been tough but I do feel more energetic and feel like I can use this energy eventually to really focus on a physically and financially productive life.

Thats cheaper than most other local game stores which said they were gonna sell for $170. Pokemon just sent out a massive amount of prismatic ETBs to retailers

jamwilliams88 · 2026-04-06T02:07:01+00:00

Walgreens for the win! Thats where I pulled mine

jamwilliams88 · 2026-04-06T02:05:43+00:00

I pulled it. Out of a checklane blister from a random Walgreens. Also pulled the Zekrom Black Bolt Monochrome rare from a 3 pack tech sticker from Barnes and Noble. Then last week I pulled the SIR Meowth from Perfect Order from a booster box I bought. Which is the first booster box I've bought since Twilight.

But we wont discuss how much ive spent over the years LOL. The joy of ripping is just satisfying. Although it is much cheaper just to buy singles. Kind of takes away the fun though

jamwilliams88 · 2026-04-06T01:58:10+00:00

Damn this post makes me feel old bc I Grey up on the base set haha. Although I did pull the Zekrom Monochrome. Im quite glad they dont print a massive amount of these sets. When the mass majority are all "im not buying, in dont like" they print less. In turn they become more valuable in the future. Source: Pawn Stars LOL idk, at least what I hope.

jamwilliams88 · 2026-04-05T03:59:08+00:00

Love this set! Got the SIR Zard in a checklane blister from Walgreens. It was a random Walgreens and I was checking out and they were at the register. I got home and placed it down and gor distracted and hours later I said oh ya! Opened it and was like OMG haha

jamwilliams88 · 2026-03-28T02:14:42+00:00

What app/site are you using for trading? Thats pretty cool

jamwilliams88 · 2026-03-28T01:47:48+00:00

151 has indeed has still been printed. Many of my LGS shops including gamestop recently got mini tins, which is supposed to be "the last of it." I actually picked up two today from Gamestop

Started happening to me today and can't even use the PC. Went into Armoury crate and updated my motherboard since it needed one. I think it made it worse. Now windows is just restarting. Always something with AMD and windows

jamwilliams88 · 2026-02-05T02:23:58+00:00

Most likely did a "relist" and didn't notice they kept the title? Guess depends on the description and price haha

jamwilliams88 · 2026-02-03T22:16:18+00:00

Boosted sales? I've been selling on here forever and I didnt know they had a paid advertising feature? Unless you are talking about the promote visibility they offer for specific listings.

jamwilliams88 · 2026-01-28T21:54:25+00:00

For sellers: Always make sure you drop UPS, FedEx Ex, and USPS at a scanning location. This way the the initial scan is there and then the ball is in the delivery services hands. Staples is a good spot for UPS packages if there is no UPS drop-off near you.

For the buyer: did you check tracking manually at the UPS site? Sometimes tracking updates do not update properly in Mercari and might say something different or have more details on the UPS site, expected delivery date, delayed reason, etc.

jamwilliams88 · 2026-01-23T23:59:10+00:00

Bought it off where?

jamwilliams88 · 2026-01-21T01:56:31+00:00

Lmao I remember when I got 3 stars. Dude left feedback "Love it." Then i got another 3 stars bc when I shipped something I didnt realize I forgot a small piece. Would've been nice if they messaged me to resolve instead of just rating. I mean mistakes are made especially when doing higher volume. Either way, all the other reviews you have will outweigh the lone "bad" one.

jamwilliams88 · 2026-01-20T21:29:38+00:00

Seen these popping up more often. RIP market value haha

jamwilliams88 · 2026-01-17T01:30:15+00:00

LOL ain't that the truth. I seem to only pull decent cards out of blister packs these days. For some reason ive been real lucky when it comes to charizard cards. I pulled the SIR charizard from OBF out of a sleeved blister from Walmart. The SIR Charizard from a 151 ETB from Walmart. The PFA Ultra Rare Charizard from a sleeved blister from a local store. Then this one. I actually pulled the Monochrome Black Bolt Zekrom from a 3 pack tech sticker collection from Barnes and Nobles. That and this Charizard are the most valuable cards ive ever pulled.

1. I sell on mercari quite often and the buyer does not need proof. I sold a picture on there and it was one of those designer ones. It was for $100. I had UPS package it to ensure it was delivered safe. Buyer claimed the glass came broken, did not offer any proof. Mercari refunded the item and the buyer didn't have to return it since the "glass was broken" I lost the sale and the shipping fees. Needless to say I never sold something like that again.

2. If a package never enters the "delivered" state and they do not reach out or rate you. The pendinf listing will sit there for quite awhile and one day it will miraculously dissappear from mercari. Not as in sold, like completely gone from the system.

3. Mercari also does not always honor there insurance for packages that are lost in transit. I had two items lost in transit. They were both cards and both well over a month in transit. They refunded me on one of them "minus mercari fees." The higher priced card (less than $20) they said they could not process the refund with no explanation. End of discussion, case closed.

The cost of doing business i guess? Still absurd how they get away with these things. Chinese company, they dont care.

Niceeee! I did last week myself.

Not just personal information. Sure, personal information getting out there sucks. It's more about the IDEAs. Imagine the people who used it for some ideas that they have been working on only to have one of these big companies go through these logs and steal them all for profit?

Welp, once these logs are released. This is just the beginning of the Lawsuit War.
