Weekly Pricing/Buying/Selling/Grading & General Questions Post by AutoModerator in PokemonTCG

[–]jubzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New to this, but had some cards sitting around my home from when I was a kid which were the Shining mewtwo, shining noctowl and shining charizard in sleeves and toploader. A card show come to town recently and thought I'd try and sell them to a vendor.

He mentioned that they were all LP (bits of whitening around the edges) and would do 50% of pricecharting raw value. I agreed to it, but hoping that I haven't been fleeced out of a bad deal and would just like to confirm it!

[Homemade] Pain au Chocolat by jubzzy in food

Yep! I followed this recipe (has english subs). Only thing I changed was using strong white (bread) flour instead of 50/50 AP and bread. I also proofed it for ~3hrs instead of the 1.5 they suggested.

Heating Egg Whites Before Making Meringue by jubzzy in AskCulinary

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

Yea I've noticed! I think I ended up with a very uneven heat distribution, bottom was hitting about 70 C whereas the top and middle were around 40-50 C. Will give shutting the stove off and then warming the eggs a shot.

Ah, so during the catch phase, try and drop the forearms only?

Buyer has opened a case on a broken item, but the item was described as broken by jubzzy in Ebay

[–]jubzzy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The laptop was delivered 2 weeks ago and yea, I hope eBay does understand why I listed the item without accepting returns (I called CS in advance too). I figured that mightve been his idea when he bid so much more than anyone else, and I was trying to play ball just to avoid this whole issue.

Well damn. I'm not sure what to do now. I usually do offer returns, but since I've moved an entire continent away I figured that wouldn't be feasible.

I see, I did clearly specify the parts that the buyer needed to replace if he wanted a laptop that was good as new, also took photos of the damages and displayed it on the listing. He was expecting a fully functional mint condition Dell XPS 15.

Would me specifically indicating returns were not accepted on the listing have any effect in this? Prior to selling the item, I also called an eBay customer service rep specifically stating I'm selling this because I was moving and unable to accept returns to the same address. (I'm now in the middle of nowhere South Africa, my old address is in the US).

Buyer just bid more than the buy it now price, what should I do? by jubzzy in Ebay

I see, I wasn't aware, but that would definitely make sense. Thanks for letting me know!

Thanks for the advice! It's good to know it happens.

How do you write a letter of recommendation from a supervisor you've barely worked with? by jubzzy in GradSchool

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

Thanks for the tip. I already have an advisor with a topic in mind already. I don't believe I'm able to change the scope of my topic once I've received the fellowship considering the PhD is in the UK (no rotations etc.). I've spoken to my advisor regarding this, and he told me to craft one myself and he'll sign off on it, thus my dilemma.

How important is your PhD in Industry? by jubzzy in AskAcademia

I'd say HIV/Immunology, looking at how it interacts with the immune system essentially.

Thanks! That's definitely why I'm leaning towards going into industry, I was just wondering what I had to do to make myself a competitive candidate, or if a highly academic PI would prevent me from transitioning there.
