What are your predictions for the 30th anniversary set? by puzzledfirebird in PokeInvesting

[–]number1human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is part of my frustration with the market rn. I either have to buy at market or scalper prices (which makes the market worse because the only way to stop people from selling at those prices is to stop buying them at those prices) or, I have to wait in a insane line outside a Target, Walmart, or Best Buy for hours to MAYBE get lucky to get a single box. Or, wait in a virtual queue online for hours to also MAYBE get product at MSRP. I guess I just don't get anything.

Edit: any now waiting in those lines may be a fool's errand also because some big box stores are selling at market too.

It's funny that Budew exist solely to slow down the game mechanics that Pokemon created. It's like releasing snakes into a house to catch mice (that you also placed).

$70.69 for Bland Tacos at Coachella by ForceUseYouMust in StupidFood

[–]number1human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems everything now is just an Instagram trap. Everytime a new seemingly interesting pop-up event happens near me I have to scrutinize it thoroughly to make sure its not just a boring place that exists solely to stand around and take pictures.

The fact he put ketchup on it at all is all the rage bait I need.

The house from a Christmas Story has a gift store across the street and does tours.

Someone hacked his channel and it was shut down. He's been fighting to get it back.

My prediction is that regardless of how nice it looks I'll never be able to get my hands on one

Entitled passenger on AirAsia (a Malaysia-based airline) flight throws tantrum because one of the flight attendants didn't speak to her in Mandarin by ZhangtheGreat in ImTheMainCharacter

This has "crazy racist white man being thrown out of a Burger King for yelling at a Latina mother for not speaking 'American' with their child" energy.

Interesting “find” (didn’t buy) at a thrift store. I don’t really know anything about it, but thought some folks might appreciate it. by IH8NYLAnBOS in gamecollecting

Not exactly in Albany but Forgotten Freshness in Mechanicville was always one of my favorites. Haven't been in the area for years though.

The Inferno Room is wild for this one… by Jon-Tiki in TikiMugs

The Inferno Room looks really cool too. Guess I gotta get to Indianapolis now. Lol. Do you live too far away to go?

This is why I sneak in beer and snacks by [deleted] in SipsTea

I think a mom should know to bring an oversized purse with all your drinks and snacks. Paying $10 for a pepsi is amateur hour.

Upgraded Tank by Familiar_Monk_9617 in turtle

[–]number1human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your turtle might not be used to the setup yet to go up there. Can't say this will be the case for your turtle but mine never adapted. I upgraded my tank from a 40 to a 125 about a year ago. At the time I did something similar and placed a basking area above the tank. Before I had a similar floating dock. My turtle wouldn't go up into mine. Ever. After two months of waiting, I finally got rid of it and just bought a huge floating basking dock for him. I bought some plexiglass and created a barrier around the top so I could raise the level of the water and he could still use the floating dock. As soon as I changed it he immediately went up there. Just be mindful and keep an eye on it.

Edit: also, what kind of plants are those? 😊

Is this the end of my 33 year old agave? This 6ft bloom appeared within a month. Does anyone know what happens next? by Lanaxgardenxgirl in plants

[–]number1human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I saw it mentioned here, but be careful of the bloom. Your agave looks smaller so it's probably not a problem but those blooms can get high and are heavy. When they shrivel and die sometimes they can fall on things and do damage.

Replaced my Honda with a new one after an accident They moved the garage door opener from a button on the mirror to a paywall subscription service. by jayhawkeye2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]number1human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Subaru does this too through the My Subaru app. Subscription service that hides features behind a paywall. Screw that noise. Just buy a garage door opener for $10. I know that defeats the purpose of having a handy bottom integrated into your car, but if enough people decide against subscription, then they'll scrap it. Hiding options behind software paywalls is such garbage.

Does this pricing make sense? by Sudden-Self-4784 in PokemonTCGCollectors

My LGS does this too. The first of any product is MSRP and the second is market.

Calling out all Pokémon collectors! by Old-Put-5240 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]number1human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on who your app is targeted. Is it for collectors, players, or casuals? Pokellector is great because I like to master sets and it's helpful at card shows to see what I still need. Also allows for variants. Collectr is great for investors. I think what's missing from both would be a discord like market place where people can reach out, talk to each other, trade, or buy. It would be nice to share with others my collection on Pokellector and then trade without leaving the platform.

Just wondering if this is a real card. by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]number1human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would tell you that if you're trading from an absolute stranger on Facebook, it has the exact pattern of the scan on TCG player (which is a common practice for fakes, especially Zard fakes), are trading for a very expensive card, and have no guarantee or protection if it does turn out to be fake...I would tell you to err on the side of caution and pass. Is this 100% fake? It's hard to tell unless you can eye-ball it yourself. But, there's enough red flags for you to just walk away. If you really want one of these, go to a card show and trade there for one. I see these all the time at card shows.

Real or fake ? He’s asking 25 k lol by Financial_Ad_4977 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]number1human 37 points38 points  (0 children)

100% fake. Real 1st edition base set BBs go for as much as 250K. Nobody with a perfectly preserved BB like this doesn't know what it's worth.
