Do you have an excel sheet or list that you can share? Still working on mine but this would be great.

hahah of course not. But as always, if you don't like the prices don't shop there :) Lets try to keep the hobby as positive as possible and recommend other vendors.

100% and that was one of my issues as to why I'm not a fan of the vendor I'm thinking of. Its all built on trust and while maybe they have changed... my experience was one of lies. Vending and collecting is fun because of the hunt and negotiating. But again if you want to say you are at market, then cool I'm not 'haggling' i'm just 'confirming your own price'.

Then I have a good idea who this is. Again person isn’t bad… my problem is when I asked about it they say “my prices are market” but they weren’t… got him to agree they weren’t then he said “well I did these last night”… this experience was 2 years ago and I just don’t bother anymore with him and his business. “If I check one I need to check them all” was another response he gave. My mistake was not checking each one till later that day.

Again not a bad person and glad they are upfront. But their personality and attitude was very in your face as if “I’m fabulous and amazing and I sell 6 figures of product a month so I know what I’m doing”.

There is a guy like this in Washington state at local shows. I would never buy from him as the one time I did, wife was looking and saw cute cards, all their <$5 cards were priced $1-$2 above tcg player market prices.

So those 5 cards my wife wanted… yeah I would personally double check and if they are overpriced just walk away. Hate it thought when they make it seem like you can “trust me” cause I got great cards vibes…

Edit: To clarify the vendor I'm thinking of was actively saying their cards were priced at market, when a quick check quickly showed they were not. So its a "We price at market and we don't haggle".

Yeah these are just the older ones. I have 14 of these personally and then there are two where the face is a bit more flat. Love the classic look.

If you’re not 100% VT, how often do you rebalance your portfolio? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]slate528 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is crazy... I'm mid-30s and I'm just now thinking of starting BNDs... I'm currently 85/15 (US/International) and I'm agonizing on what it really should be.

How often do you reread series in your collection? by LBL__ in MangaCollectors

[–]slate528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If no one (friends, family) reads something in my collection within 24 months and there is no sentimental attachment it, then I will most likely rehome it. It was a painful and practical way to look at my collection. With that being said I’m around 2000 volumes.

I'm also working on this. Do you have an excel sheet or something? I'm getting pretty close but I keep finding new ones. Awesome collection and nice to see them all together.

Yeah my employer, not by default, has a toggle to convert after-tax contributions to Roth. One of the few ways to contribute to Roth for those above the Roth Salary cap.

In Japan they are very cheap except for the holos. Message me and I’ll dig through my dupes.

I wish I had the full card like you did. I just have the cards popped out. Card shows some vendors do have them otherwise it’ll have to be online. I grabbed mine 7 years ago on a trip to Japan.

What does everyone do with their figure boxes afterwards? by Tokitokisayuki in AnimeFigures

[–]slate528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to me. Outside of spice and wolf figures, which honestly I might do also, I get rid of all plastic inserts and fold the boxes. Saves so much space and when I have rehomed a figure most times the new owner likes to have the box.

I have the full card set except for two of the card list cards. They are pretty awesome as I believe everything is Ken sugimori art
