mmmmm...beer

Looks like it expired. Give me a hollar

Mmmmm...Samuris.

I Chris (not Mo)... but Padre still up and around? I don't go to the geek club anymore.

4th is fine for me. I'm in Japan so... maybe sleeping when you guys are hot and heavy drafting. Take that into consideration if ya would.

Trade out...

So I am back in the States for a couple more weeks, but the last four I wanted to try an experiment. I went to goodwill, salvation army, garage sales and picked up little stuff for $0.25 cents to $10. I probably spent about $150 total. Found an estate sale that was bonkers. Bought half a pickup load of stuff for about $60... This wasn't all at once, but I and a buddy did that thought the month. I've sold a pile of vintage watches and some other stuff on eBay but its been awhile. So in 4 weeks... sold about 48 items of 108 listings. Total $2100. After fees/shipping, net about $1150. Cool $1,000. I still have a 2 totes full of stuff to sell. Have 60 items still up and probably another 40 I told my buddy to list and just pay me what I got i to them. All in all I'm pretty happy with how it went. I feel like when I get back from Japan, I could scale this easily. It seems more like a fun hobby to me, than it would be work. I love finding something for nothing snd snagging a good profit. My favorite flip of the session? I found an old zippo in the box for $0.50 cents at a rummage sale. Sold it thr next morning for $78 bucks + shipping!

Yeah I meant they reporting anything over $600 a year to uncle suger.

Yup... the days of free ebay, mercari, poshmark flips are over.

He focking knows that. My shadow is just a @sshole that needs to spread his toxic sludge to all. The only thing I can think of is jealously my life is better than his. Otherwise... why focking care? Why try so hard to come in to each and every thread I produce once every few months and b!tch like I took his woman? Move on. Focking loser...

Yeah FB marketplace is absolutely the way to go. Especially for bigger items. Also... no 1099 cut.

And many people try it and fail. So... wanted to see if it took. Was fairly easy.

Figured it will give me something to do in tetirment that's not "getting s other job".

Unless its easily apparent. I bought a whole box of an old Wii system with 2 consoles in there, 4 controllers a couple of guns, and like 20 games for $10. Sold 5 of the games for $130. Sold the rest of the 13 suck games and the Wii/accessories for $110. Have a balance board, Wii Fit and another game, plus the extra console alone left to sell out of that lot.

So google lens to figure out exactly what it is. Then copy that to eBay and search for it. Once stuff returns don't pay too much attention to what they are "selling" for, but rather go to filter and down to "Sold" listings. It'll shown you how much they are really selling for and how many have sold recently. You find an item with 100 solds lately? More than like it will move fast and consistently for the solds prices. Can't find something or if you do there's one sold in the last 90 days? Pass... It sounds complicated but if you do it a few times you can get pretty quick.

Yeah we've already been doing that. I've had to drop to under 25 a few times.

Meh... I've suggested it for the last couple years to get the can kicked down the road. So we vote. If it passes great. If it doesn't fine. I'm just tired of... we'll look at it next year.

Really? Like I suggested last year and the absolute end of last season? Yeah... there's 5 of us left from the original. I may be done. I'm getting over it....

The start of the league year is 30 spots. How you get to them is up to you. If you want to trade away all 5 of your draft picks every year and fill those spots with veterans, IE you have no rookie spots to draft, then so what? Do you not have 30 guys at game like everyone else?

Forcing dropping 5 is silly. If I have zero draft picks why would I drop anyone off my roster? My whole goal is to develop a bench. Now I have to dump my developers off my bench so you can pick them up? That's dumb. I've made my dynasty moves through the year UTILIZING my draft picks to pick up people for those spots. Now I have to drop people out those spots I filled using my draft picks? If that's the case... no more trading draft picks.

Herro?

Intital observations after being gone awhile. I really forgot about how out of hand this tipping culture in the States has become. Anyone who hands you something apparently deserves extra compensation. It's like a horrible late night law commercial. "Have you ever had to hand something to someone? You may be entitled to compensation!" I guess I'm spoiled by Japan. You don't tip. Tipping in Japan is generally considered rude and is not expected. This is because Japanese service culture emphasizes "omotenashi", which means hospitality and ensuring customers are well taken care of, without the expectation of additional compensation. Japanese culture emphasizes harmony, humility, and mutual respect. Offering a tip can unintentionally disrupt that balance. Fast food prices went off the rails! $17.20 for two softshell tacos, some OLES, and a pop?! Food portions are restaurants are huge. Both my daughter and I could no even come close to finishing the food. Aaand... last but not least, my 16 year old daughter said, "Why is everyone so fat? Most of the girls I see my age are HUGE?!" Anyway... weathers nice. It was getting humid as fuh in Japan. We'll be here in Minnesota/North Dakota until the second week in July. Then drive down and visit the boy in the Space Force in Colorado Springs. Then out to say hello to my Mah in Washington State. Most likely driving back in Minneapolis through ID MT, and ND to fly back out to Tokyo sometime at the beginning of August. It is good to be home and be understood/understand everything. You start too feel too damned stranger in a strange land after awhile.

Yeah I've noticed. Its the freaking middle of June and chilly.

Sapporo... but I pretty much quit drinking last year. Just meh... no bang for the buck. Catch a little buzz and feel like hot garbage for days.

Thanks Bro... how come Gypsy isn't fixing our site?

You bring zero positive to this place. All you are is a negative space. It's not wonder you all sit here jerking each other off over and over. What focking pathetic existence you must lead. You are ignored.
