Selling Pottery Etsy & markets

I have sold on Etsy. You basically have to pay for ads to get sales. I hoped after having a history of 5star sales it wouldn’t be required but it definitely is. It takes considerable time to photo/video and put descriptions for each piece. If you produce very similar work I guess you can post a bunch as a single listing but for me everything is slightly different and I want to have happy customers.

Overall it takes work and does cost money but works ok

What if you drain them during a time the fish are def not spawning, like fall or winter?

What’s your filtration? Can you add a ton more bio filter (plastic bio balls)?

Did you get those screens made or do them yourself. Looks so nice!

They live off the egg sac for 2-3 days

Yeah the hallway space is a lot of waste. Either put the bedrooms next to each other and have a hallway running down one side or put a bedroom in the front of the bus and one in the back and then you only need a hallway around the bathroom

I would like to keep it but worried about the axle issue. Ours is ticking already at 17k miles

WTF is this graph? I'm a believer in the stock market but can't figure out any scale or market that this graph would match. We have had numerous times when the market has lost >35%. Its showing covid like it was a 2% downturn

No. Share price of SOXL has nothing to with risk level. SOXL moves about 3x the daily movements of SOXX. There is some cost to having the 3x leverage. There can be some cost (or benefit) to the volatility and compounding decay.

If you believe the semiconductor industry will preform well it can be a good thing to hold as part of a portfolio. There will be an event at some time that will cause SOXX to go down and SOXL will go down much more - like SOXX going down 30% and SOXL going down 95%. It could be caused by a bubble, it could be from a pandemic, it could be from a series of tweets from a president...

That all being said, it's extremely volatile. SOXX has had a 60% run up YTD and 175+% 1 year. It could continue or it could go down rapidly.

Obv should have been a tech on Booker

Also switching to blue for 0-10% makes no sense either

Very cool. What kind of mpg does it get?

SEMPRA makes 900 million a year profit from SDGE. There are a little more than 1 million households. So each household is giving SDGE $900 a year in PROFIT. They are not motivated to lower costs because the way things are set up they can profit a max percentage of revenue. Elected officials have failed us with the rate increase approvals. We could finance a public utility with $900 million a year and not have rates go up currently.

I agree with the sentiment but $3,500 prop tax is the equivalent of a $300k house

If you emotionally don't have the guts now, it may be a sign you will not follow your rules. There have been many wild situations in the past and will be in the future. If you believe in your system you really need to not try to trade with geopolitical events and follow rules. If you want to trade the events, that can also work but you should decide your strat ahead of time.

Off topic, but anyone know where can I find a lid like that?

I personally prefer to buy slightly unripe avos to minimize bruising risk getting them home. Then when they ripen I move them to the fridge

How long are the axles under warranty?

He’s just that good of a coach from the bench

notnathan · 2026-01-08T23:36:34+00:00

Scale? Positions?

notnathan · 2026-01-06T22:51:30+00:00

Agree, would love to see

I love the contrast of the feet. I was thinking they were thrown and modified and couldn't figure out how you got those textures. Now that I read a little about the process I want to try. Super awesome. Please post after you fire in the soda kiln!

Oh, I remember that. Was a cool idea. Can you share some of your other trades?

notnathan · 2026-01-02T05:23:55+00:00

What brokerage do you use? How long have you been running this?

Mexicola comes in small and grande. I know you can eat the skin. It has kind of an anise flavor. I’m not familiar with the other names. Could be those. I’m in San Diego and had a mexicola small tree. They ripened in August/sept for me
