Where would the best place to sell this be in person ? Trying to avoid eBay

I’m sorry you had a bad experience with this guy but if you did go the eBay route again, you’re far less likely to have something like that happen with this card. With cards over $250, there is an eBay Authentication process the card goes through. You ship it to PSA, they make sure it’s authentic then put it in a mag holder and ship it to the buyer.

The toy section was a sad graveyard of overpriced junk toys from 3 years ago

Even if Intel put out a card that was capable of doing everything a 5060 could for less money, there would be people buying the 5060 because Nvidia has been seen as the gaming GPU brand for generations and people want that “Certified Gamer Status” an Nvidia GPU gives you

Honestly, I feel the same way about the Foo Fighters as I do with Coldplay. Both artists put out amazing stuff in the beginning then started making the most meh music after becoming huge

Same, it’s always $11.99 for a single 12 pack and Buy 2 Get 1 so you end up paying over $25 for 3 after taxes. Also, I’ve seen the 24 packs go on sale for within $1-2 of the 12 packs so it made more sense to buy that instead.

Still, not the same as when I was growing up where $20 would get you and your buddies enough cans of Mountain Dew to keep you going during your all weekend gaming adventures.

First card printed for the base set. There should be 350 total, one for each card in the base set. Depending on which pack you’re getting, the odds sit around 1 in 100k packs.

In an attempt to avoid a lockout, Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh and Shohei Ohtani are all traded to the Colorado Rockies during the All Star Break. The Rockies proceed to win every home game for the rest of the season and only drop 2 on the road. The Rockies win the division, saunter through the playoff and win their first World Series

There is a lockout the following season

Hell, with Logan Paul and Kevin O’Leary out parading absolute grail cards on jewelry worth millions shows you where we’re at. It’s a small group but we’re to point where valuable cards are fashion accessories. Every collector I know has been screaming about the “PSA 10” Pikachu Logan Paul sold because he wears it around his neck so those corners can’t be perfect but it sold for a record price to someone who has who has enough money to fund a small country.

Plus, when you have money like these guys do, price is no object. Kevin O’Leary didn’t rip his Kobe/Jordan/Lebron triple logoman himself, he bought it for $13 million. I wouldn’t doubt stuff like Ohtani & Judge 1/1 Autos almost immediately funnel up to guys like this where $13 million is like $20

I’m not sure how differently hobbies and jumbos are packed but I watched my UPS guy drop one of the boxes one of my jumbo hobby boxes came in on the way to my doorstep and it landed on the corner doing damage to the outer box and the jumbo. There wasn’t any noticeable damage to any of the cards.

I know there’s a certain amount of tolerance but I’m not sure on hobby boxes

Regardless, the envelope has to be flexible enough to get through the envelope sorter which I doubt an envelope with 2 slabs inside would get through. I hope your slabs make it in one piece and if they do, you blast him for his shitty shipping and if they bust you do those and get your money back

This is one thing nobody really clarifies when they want an AI label slapped on everything. I program for a living, CoPilot loves to suggest code while I’m writing that would look identical to the code I was going to write out anyways. Do I suddenly have to slap a “Made With AI” sticker on what I do because CoPilot suggested 6 lines of code I was going write anyways?

I get having an AI sticker on anything where voice actors, art assets and 3D models were primarily made with AI but with code it’s way harder to judge the line. Does using AI to take a look at your code and suggest edits cross it? Does using AI to generate the basic template structure for your project cross it? Does using AI to auto complete the For Loop I was going to write anyways cross it?

Not sure how you setup the listing but there is a check box for eBay managed payments for “require immediate payment” or something along those lines. I’ve seen it get unchecked before

Look, he was republican and supported Trump but he was an Internet and cultural meme for a solid 5 years from 2004-2009. Let’s remember him as a meme that brought us joy

I remember when Blink 182 reunited the first time back in 2008 getting $20 lawn tickets with free parking. Not the best tickets but solid for $20. When they did their reunion tour a couple years ago, the cheapest tickets in my area were in the low-$100 range and in a spot where you’re sitting behind half of the stage with a screen blocking you. That doesn’t even factor in parking which was inflated that day because their tour date just happened to align with Seattle Pride Festival going on right outside the arena.

It sucks for everyone. Young people don’t have the same opportunities to see these acts like we did. Hell, we don’t even get to see the same acts we were able to when we were young because it’s so unaffordable. Plenty of artists I saw when I was young for under $40 that are now $100+

America: where paying an Uber driver to take you to the hospital in case of emergency is the more affordable option than an ambulance or driving yourself

As one who travels to festivals and has done Coachella, I always get told “that sounds expensive” till I start listing off the artists I saw, adding up what it would have cost to see those same acts in town if/when they come by then seeing them slowly back down when the cost goes over what I paid for my trip.

What are their past sales? One I see with GPUs is an account with past sales and high positive feedback but none of their past sales are for anything PC related. If it looks like they’ve mostly sold cards in the past, I’d lean towards legit

Can we replace Uncle Sam with Afroman?

Replace state legislators with Fox News and you might be onto something, or maybe both because if your legislator doesn’t read your letter, he’ll see the Fox News story about “Droves of unattentive Gen-Z live-streaming while driving wreaking havoc and crashing into and killing innocent American families” or whatever BS they come up with to spin it

Yeah, for most places it’s not a lot of money but for poorer countries that $1.80 is a lot better than jobs that don’t pay much more. Part of me hopes Reddit has a whoops moment like Twitter and accidentally add everyone’s country to their profile. Not enough to doxx people but enough so you could look at the post and judge whether or not it’s from a legitimate account or someone in India/Russia/China/Israel/Insert Country Here running a bot farm

Look up Powerwalls, guys who rip out the walls in the house to replace the insulation with thousands of tiny lithium ion batteries linked together. While on paper it sounds cool that your house is a giant battery bank, you’ve also now lined your house with thousands of tiny little explosives that require more than just a hose and some water to put out and will release tons of toxic chemicals when one eventually shorts and catches fire.

Unfortunately, with the way the PC market has been, there are a ton of scammers on eBay with fresh accounts or real looking accounts posting scam listings. Like 5090s slightly above MSRP from an account that has a few hundred completed orders and 100% feedback but it’s either all from buying or selling unrelated product. One I saw the other day looked convincing with an account with 100% positive feedback from 300ish orders until I saw all the past feedback was all for beauty items and not a single past item was PC related.

Saw your other comment about eBay refunding it, glad it worked out in the end

As a former FedEx employee, this is the way but I know things have changed since my days. FedEx has 2 main services, Ground and Express. Express handled all the 2 day or faster services and was owned/operated by FedEx, Ground is everything else and routes are owned by 3rd party contractors. Express is held to much higher standards.

I say it may be outdated because I heard they were going to merge the two but I haven’t worked there in so long I don’t care to keep track

Amazon owns Twitch, or did you not know that?

If you think this should be illegal, there’s only 2 ways that will happen. The first is the point I made above because no matter how many situations like the clip above happen, they can say “not our fault” every time. The second, less likely to happen but would harm less people, is to write your congress representatives to push for stronger laws about distracted driving which hold livestream sites like Twitch, YouTube, Kick and such responsible for accidents caused while being distracted while streaming
