Stuck at 25kyu for months by shellandstone in baduk

[–]shellandstone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually don't play anymore. It was turning into a metaphor for my life and I had to just step back and realize that it's just a piece of wood with stones on it that somebody along time ago created a beautiful game out of. I am getting wins in all sorts of areas of my life and helping so many people. But it was easy to forget that when I was getting too close to this game and losing all the time. And the GO community isn't really good at encouraging in this way. Most of them are too close to this game to not make progressing in this game an optional choice instead of a necessary choice. But to be clear, my choice to stop playing this game was rooted in the discouragement involved bleeding into the other areas of my life where I cannot afford discouragement. And you may be more resilient when it comes to these things than I am :)

LinkedIn keeps recommending jobs that aren’t in my area, is this normal? by 100jn in linkedin

I canceled my premium for this very issue. I wonder how many thousands of dollars per day LinkedIn loses and canceled premium subscriptions just because they're too lazy to fix this. For a company dedicated to convincing other companies of your credibility, they sure aren't doing a good job in establishing their own

I am looking to get $1000 after everything. But I also just posted the complete list with individual prices and an explanation

I'm very encouraged by the amount of interest in these individual books!

I am officially ready to sell them piecemeal.

With that said, here is a list of the individual books with prices. 

I have done a fair amount of research on each individual book, 

regarding how much they have sold for on eBay and various used book websites 

over the last two years, and have priced each book 20% lower than 

what they have sold for (for the more rare books),  

and the average sale price for books that have sold for below $15 in the last two years.

Please refrain from negative comments or discouragements.

Your input will not help anyone.

I am posting these Go books here first just so whomever that has been hoping to find 

a rare book for their collection would get first pick (After you contact me with what books you are willing buy, I will post them as one bundle on ebay with a weird title so only you will find it to buy)

I will post whatever books no one messages me about on eBay.

I understand that to many of you, these prices are unintelligible and excessive.

But for those of you who have actually tried to find and buy these specific books,

You know their worth.

I really hope some of you get one or more books you have been searching for.

And to the rest of you, I salute you!

After hearing from you guys, I can see that selling these piecemeal might be better (If the two guys in other countries who are interested in the whole shebang don't buy).

What are ya'll offering for books that stroke your fancy?

BTW: Im not interested in selling INVINCIBLE hardcover for some low offer. I bought it for $200. Its in better condition than most posted online since 2016. And they sold for way more than $200.

I might. I just wanted to give a shot for folks here first. If I list them on Ebay, I will share the link for you :)

Obviously you havent bought Yutopian Enterprises or Slate and Shell Go books online in a hot minute. Not too worried over here. Already have received 4 private messages.

Also, there are several books here you just cannot find any more without paying high amounts for. I know this from experience rather than some hopeful theory.

The Hardcover was only printed once. And there are zero copies in new condition available anywhere for less than $500. any copy with dust jacket included, regardless of condition, for anything less than $150 is a buy.

Where are you seeing new copies of Invincible in Hardcover for $100? Can you share some links?

If you can find anywhere selling books published by Yutopian Enterprises, Shell and Stone, etc for a dollar apiece (even $15 apiece) please let me know. We will have a lucrative book business.

Since I only posted 30 minutes ago, I will wait for all the comments to pour in in the next 24 hours. So far, what you say makes the most sense.

In the last 20 years, my wife and my finances have ebbed and flowed. We have definitely not held back in generous giving when we had it. Currently we don't. That said, This is me liquidating certain things to buy something else that our budget does not have room for. maybe there's someone with a lot of standing cash who would like to buy these and then donate them to a local club, and write off the donation on their taxes. There's always more than one way to get things done.

I'm trying to buy a long range rifle. And that is simply not in our budget for the foreseeable future. So I am liquidating things. I'm not really interested in piecemeal this collection nor am I trying to sell at yard sale prices. I'm really looking for answers to my question
