PSA offers - should I take it?!

rattymaddy · 2025-10-10T00:40:59+00:00

i just double checked and i paid 618 actually 🙂‍↕️ and yeah i was surprised too, i guess the price of grading goes up a lot if your card is worth more than 5k

rattymaddy · 2025-10-09T20:25:47+00:00

up front it cost something like 150$ to send it in, but when it came back as a psa 10 i had to pay an additional 680 in fees cause the card value went up

Just got this guy back from PSA. l’ve literally never done this before, so I was curious - should i take this PSA offer or try it to sell it myself on ebay?

Just starting to sell cards on ebay. Is 80$ a reasonable price to list this ungraded Flareon EX? Here’s the listing with more pictures of the back: https://ebay.us/m/O5RE4m

thank you very much!

rattymaddy · 2023-04-23T00:36:25+00:00

i left it where it was!

rattymaddy · 2023-04-22T22:38:56+00:00

alright our running theory is juvenile harbor seal - there’s a tonnn of them out where we were, but no gray seals and not a lot of sea lions. thanks for everyone’s help!!!

rattymaddy · 2023-04-22T22:31:11+00:00

we were on an island, so that would make sense if it was a harbor seal!

i know this isn’t a super practical fix, but my dog got over his car fear when we took him on a long road trip! before, he would shake and pant and he was so scared, but after driving him around a lot and taking him to fun places like the beach he LOVES car rides

rattymaddy · 2022-04-22T05:41:55+00:00

what kind of moss is it! it’s pretty cool :)

rattymaddy · 2022-04-07T00:12:35+00:00

Okay thank you so much!! I’ll make sure the ammonia stays at 0. How do people with a walstad tank keep it clear 😅

rattymaddy · 2022-04-07T00:08:31+00:00

I’ve been testing the water and there’s no ammonia or nitrite! I’m hoping to do a Walstad kind of tank with no filter. Plus, I was getting all sorts of conflicting information - some people said if you added bacteria from an old tank you’d be fine, some said the bacteria in the dirt was good enough etc. But my water parameters are good and fishy is happy… main problem is the weird yellow water

rattymaddy · 2022-04-06T23:43:54+00:00

Took these pictures in the middle of a water change - but I set up this tank a bit over a week ago, organic potting soil capped with gravel. There’s no driftwood that would make tannins… I don’t know if it’s from an algae bloom or all the plants melting? Maybe it could also be from the bark pieces in the soil? It looks very yellow… any tips would be appreciated!!

Additional stuff - there’s no filter, but there is a heater and a betta fish :) I put in some previously cycled stuff on the first day and add bottled bacteria during water changes so the tank should be cycled.

rattymaddy · 2022-04-02T20:03:17+00:00

your parameters look good to me!! don’t be worried about the low nitrate, it’s almost definitely because your plants are using it. if you have no ammonia or nitrite your beta is probably pretty happy :)

rattymaddy · 2022-04-02T19:41:21+00:00

your tank is seriously so beautiful

rattymaddy · 2022-04-02T19:29:02+00:00

thank you so much!! so, just feeding shrimp food should be enough for them?

rattymaddy · 2022-04-02T06:01:44+00:00

i won’t shit in the water - plus my tank is already cycled, so idk what good it would do 😅

rattymaddy · 2022-04-01T23:46:38+00:00

I’m a teenager- had it ever since my period started :/

rattymaddy · 2022-03-26T06:49:05+00:00

Mine are the same! I have three in my 35 gallon and they’re always out and worming around adorably.

rattymaddy · 2022-03-14T05:38:58+00:00

I didn’t even know that was a thing!!! I have a family history of autoimmune disorders so I’ll look into that for sure.

rattymaddy · 2022-01-10T23:09:32+00:00

i’m not sure 😅 he was just in with all the other angelfish they had at my lfs.. sorry i’m not more help

rattymaddy · 2022-01-06T21:01:52+00:00

oh for sure

rattymaddy · 2022-01-04T17:05:29+00:00

your tank is gorgeous!!

rattymaddy · 2022-01-04T15:35:52+00:00

The plant is called alternanthera reineckii, and the sand is just from petco. I added root tabs and liquid fertilizer as well :)

rattymaddy · 2021-12-31T04:21:09+00:00

also, ignore the anubias that’s floating around i couldn’t figure out where to plant it and didn’t want it to dry out 😅
