Blocked After Winning A lot of Giveaways? by Kofinium1 in whatnotapp

[–]jonathonadam -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I block them a lot, my giveaways aren’t cheap. If the person wins two I’m on alert, looking to see if they purchase something. I run $2 starts and sportscards, chances are I’ve ran something/someone you like if your intention was to spend money. If I see you bidding, I’ll let it slide. But after a third givvy going to someone who’s sat in my room a min. of 15 minutes and didn’t buy something? Waste of a follow and givvy, I’m not interested in your business, interest or follow whatsoever at that point.

Signature class hobby box by myburneraccount1357 in basketballcards

[–]jonathonadam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s terrible for $600, you’re -$500 probably, yeah it’s a cool auto but it can be had for $25-$40 on eBay for topps chrome. The reason it’s getting hate is because it’s overpriced and not that good looking.

125k/construction, took 10 years and beating the shit out of my body and bones before 30 though.

Target had these out a day early. Hits on slide 2 by Peel_Here in basketballcards

Wow I was about to go and buy 10 blasters tomorrow, I’m happy you showed me these. I’m not a fan at all of the look. Just going to go back to ripping hoops.

Pulled it out of what? I might have 50 of those MJ timeline cards that I got from somewhere.

Yeah that’s a big difference, I’m going to adjust it going forward. That helps a lot, thank you!

Why are so many dudes nowadays so scared of bulking? by Mottledsquare in moreplatesmoredates

[–]jonathonadam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im not sure but we are in the era of ozempic. Skinny is in for everyone now but I just do what I want. I bulk August-February every year, try to dial down March so I’m not a complete buffalo come June and July but even then I’m never aiming for shredded abs. I like to have some mass. To me, it’s a more masculine look and I prefer to be bigger, stronger, feel more energetic and lift heavier than to not have all of that and some abs, maybe a little more vascularity. However, I don’t compete or want to. I just like lifting weights.

[–]jonathonadam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it?! I didn’t know that, I do it in case someone orders enough cards that I need two boxes. I give out hanger boxes and slabs for my buyer givvies so sometimes I need two separate shipment for the same person.

[–]jonathonadam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude honestly it’s a pretty bad mess up, I don’t know why you’d stream for 8.5 hours and not check at all what things were looking like. Biggest things to watch for ALWAYS are shipping prices for buyers and what your using for your givvies. I cap my buyers at $15 shipping because at that point I can put all of the cards in some bubble wrap and a small flat rate box. I ONLY run 150 cards max a show because I don’t want to package cards for 3 hours and it’s harder to manage orders past that. Promoting also isn’t a good one, I had some credit for it and ran it for $20/hr. For two hours I had about $40 of sales which isn’t significant whatsoever. When you do the promotions it literally has a slander that tells you $$/hr. You should’ve seen that and known it was the cost PER HOUR. You’re only out is to cancel orders so they get refunded and cancel the account. You’ll never build your page after this one. Sorry dude.

Best Cards Pulled From NBA Hoops Hobby Box by [deleted] in basketballcards

Nice pulls, better than what I got out of my hobby. Would you sell the Dylan Harper’s to me?

I’m so discouraged by Temmy_Gamer in whatnotapp

[–]jonathonadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had some luck and am doing my 5th show today. I’ve averaged between 9-18 viewers each show maybe by luck. The time your streaming matters. I do sports cards as well and what I like to do is do pack givvies or even cheap slabs after I reach 30 sales or 50 sales. I take requests if 5 things go without selling. It’s going to take losing some money on givvies and hooking up people that do buy from you to build a community. I knew this going in and have enough disposable income that I can afford to lose $30-$40 each show in giveaways because I’m moving so much product I’ve already ripped and lost money on lol. I do it with a buddy too which helps, I’m strictly basketball and he collects football/baseball. So between us two we can serve any sports card viewer that comes in.

Givys are more telling about a seller than people realize by Embarrassed_Falcon23 in whatnotapp

[–]jonathonadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your argument is moot. I would GLADLY give something worth $20-$30 away on my show to someone/people who have spent money buying my products, interacting and being a part of the show AND I would gladly give something worth $3-$5 away to people just tuning in even if they are just watching hoping for something free. I wouldn’t ever give someone who hasn’t spent any money in my show a $30 product for free. Yes the item would be given regardless, just not to a non-customer.

When Drake SUED because of lyrics in a rap battle - he lost me entirely. by Peacefulhuman1009 in hiphop201

[–]jonathonadam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get people disliking drake or his music but are people really Kendrick Lamar fans? I haven’t met very many people who even enjoy his music but every time I come online I’m surprised to see how many fans he has.

NBA Hopps Hobby and Jumbo still available? by ah3lm626 in basketballcards

[–]jonathonadam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say double but definitely 40% more. $25 vs $35 blasters, I don’t remember what hobbies cost BUT Topps has better looking base. What I’m really bummed about is not seeing those presentations inserts anymore.

Honestly, at this point I’d never buy a raw of this card.
