You may be a simple member of the hoi polloi

quote:

Some linguists argue that, given that hoi is a definite article, the phrase "the hoi polloi" is redundant, akin to saying "the the masses". Others argue that this is inconsistent with other English loanwords.[11] The word "alcohol", for instance, derives from the Arabic al-kuhl, al being an article, yet "the alcohol" is universally accepted as good grammar.[12]

A few years back, a friend of mine spend over two thousand Euros on Magic cards in a couple of months because he was convinced the value would quickly increase in the near future.

Basically beaten by Vice President, but if you don't care about making 100% value on them, you can also sell to a large online retailer like Card Kingdom or Star City Games using their 'Buylist' programs. They probably won't take all of them, but they will usually take the ones of any real value. Send them the cards, they send you a check. I have had positive experiences with both retailers so far. It's a good balance between effort and cash return, assuming anything is worth anything.

That's what I mean by "I've wondered if this could work somehow." Somehow, you have to convince them that you don't understand interest rates while at the same time understanding that pre-payment penalties are a thing. Fwiw, I think some states do outlaw prepayment penalties.

Apparently, the thing employees want most (even more than raises, more vacation time, flexible work schedules, child care, health insurance, or remote working) are:

- More opportunities to volunteer outside of work sponsored by the company.

Kind of sounds like MLB is getting caught up in some pie in the sky revenue forecasts from a company that's never even produced a baseball card.

There's definitely untapped value in sports marketing. The NCAA's auditors came out last month and said they've been underselling women's basketball TV rights by as much as 100 million every year. And this was after the NCAA defended its lovely treatment of women's sports by "well actually..." reminding everyone that ladies' basketball lost 3 million last year. But I'm not sure there's any goldmine left in baseball cards.

These days you have shitloads of credit providers like Klarna who just get integrated into the store backend, if you watch daytime TV in the UK you'll see an ad for at least 1 quick credit company app every ad break. It does still make me laugh when I'm buying something cheap through Paypal and they ask if I want to use Paypal Credit for it.

For a few weeks the top result when you searched the bank I work for by name on Google stopped being the actual banks home page and was instead a random article about which bank had the best savings interest rates- we got a lot of complaints about how people could no longer work out how to log in to their online banking- and the article had a load of complaints about how we had made it “too difficult” to navigate “our website” now it had been “updated” - again just in the comments section of this article on this random personal finance website.

My vague recollection was that the google search for "facebook login" pointed to some tech news website article about facebook changing their login process and the comments section immediately became full of thousands of people posting their usernames/passwords and then increasingly angry and threatening messages demanding to know why they werent able to see pictures of their grandkids or whatever

I heard someone tell a story about cleaning out their first gen Polish immigrant grandparents' house after they passed. You couldn't just throw away or donate stuff, because there was cash squirreled away all over. Winter coat pockets, coffee cans full of loose tools, even wrapped in butcher paper at the bottom of the freezer.

They had to go through everything like they were doing an FBI raid.

Having never done anything like this, when you roll up with a stack of 100s dated from the 1920s or something (someone was loaded but for the sake of an example) I take it the bank is only going to give you the total value of what the bills say?
