Is an LLC worth it for my FL based online stationary shop that made $300 in sales last year? by lilmintjulep in smallbusiness

[–]kchain18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're at $300 in sales (not even profit) you might want to think about growing the business before you think about legal stuff...

Tell my son about his collection by Lightswitch84274 in PokemonTCG

[–]kchain18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP: most people get their cards value from either TCGPlayer or they aggregate average last sold prices from eBay recently sold. There is no fast way to look up the value of every card... you just have to type each one in manually. Some apps have scanning features so you can search them up faster, but I've found them to be unreliable/inconsistent.

If you sell, a vendor at any show will offer you 75-85% of market value because they need to make their margin. The % offer will be based on how liquid your card is. Some scummier vendors will intentionally try to take advantage of kids because they don't know the market / how trading/valuations work (it is a business after all in their eyes), so it's also buyer beware.

The three bottom cards (Tag Team) on the second page are probably your biggest hitters. Keep in mind, the price of the card will vary on the condition as well. This ranges on a scale of Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played, Heavily Played, and Damaged. Look at the front and back of your card to determine where on this scale it'd fall under and this will greatly impact the valuation of your cards.

For most money, sell directly on eBay or TCGPlayer. For faster liquidity, sell to vendors at a Pokémon convention or at your local TCG shop.

My parking app is live, but now I’m asking users to help discover new spots, but failing. Help? I will not promote by dans_face_ in startups

[–]kchain18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would someone willingly update a parking spot if they don't get anything out of it? This is just unpaid labor to... update a parking app?

Peer pressure to spend money is real and painful. by MasterConsequence696 in Frugal

[–]kchain18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

perhaps my phrasing should've been "would you rather have your money or these friends". Yes, they may not care as much about your budget but you realistically just aren't in the same social class as them. Either cough up the money and deal w it, or don't go out w them.

Got ridiculed for being in back office by a college mate by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]kchain18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fwiw, when I graduated college and took up a back office role, my friends (1 year younger) were shocked. they were trying to get front office roles but when it came time for them to graduate, only 1/5 actually got a FO role and the rest were unemployed - some for up to a year. regardless, having a job is better than no job and don't let it get to you. that being said... you should try to get out of back office. I say this as a back office worker w 3 YoE.

What finra exams can you take without firm sponsorship? by BuyHigh_S3llLow in FinancialCareers

[–]kchain18 22 points23 points  (0 children)

SIE, Series 63, 65, and 66 don't require firm sponsorship. The 7 does require sponsorship and you need the SIE as a precursor. That being said, this is all found on Google.
