  @ArmaLite15OU812 Seriously. We want to pay less for everything across the board. Also work on better tax laws. Tired of paying tax on everything. If something is purchased once. Sold through eBay or something. Shouldn't pay tax again. That's robbery. Fix the IRS.

  A Continental O-200 aircraft engine is an air-cooled, horizontally opposed, four-cylinder, aluminum-case engine weighing approximately 200 pounds and making 100 HP. It costs $25,000 to $40,000 new. A Lycoming O-235 aircraft engine is an air-cooled, horizontally opposed, four-cylinder, aluminum-case engine weighing approximately 244 pounds and making 115 HP. It costs $30,000 to $45,000 new. A Corvair 164 automobile engine is an air-cooled, horizontally opposed, six-cylinder, aluminum-case engine weighing approximately 300 pounds and making 110 HP. It costs $500 to $2,000 from a junkyard. Read those specifications again. The car engine matches the aircraft engines in every category that matters cooling method, cylinder arrangement, case material, weight class, and power output at one-twentieth the price. The Corvair didn't become a popular aircraft engine because hot rodders discovered it. It became a popular aircraft engine because it already was one. GM just didn't know it. The overlap isn't a coincidence; it's convergent design. Aircraft engine designers and the Corvair's designer, Al Kolbe, solved the same problem independently and arrived at the same answers. An aircraft engine must be air-cooled because water-cooled systems add a radiator, coolant, hoses, a water pump, and a thermostat weight and failure modes that are unacceptable when the engine is the only thing between you and a crash landing. The Corvair is air-cooled because it's a rear-engine car where routing coolant lines from the back of the car to a front-mounted radiator was more complex than designing an axial cooling fan. An aircraft engine must be horizontally opposed because the flat configuration produces the smallest frontal area behind a propeller reducing aerodynamic drag and because the inherent balance of a flat-six or flat-four produces less vibration than any inline or V-configuration at the same cylinder count. The Corvair is horizontally opposed because a flat engine sits low in a rear-engine car, keeping the center of gravity below the axle line. An aircraft engine uses an aluminum case because weight reduction is critical when every pound reduces payload, range, and climb rate. The Corvair uses an aluminum crankcase because GM wanted the lightest possible engine for the rear overhang of a compact car. Same answers. Different questions. The Corvair arrived at aircraft-engine specifications by solving automobile problems and the solutions happened to be identical. The one specification where the Corvair diverges from a certified aircraft engine is the one that enhances it for homebuilders: parts availability. A Continental O-200 cylinder costs $800 to $1,200. A Lycoming piston costs $200 to $400. A magneto overhaul costs $500 to $800. Every certified aircraft engine part carries a premium because the FAA's Parts Manufacturer Approval process adds years of testing and documentation to every component testing that ensures airworthiness but inflates prices beyond what most private builders can afford. The Corvair's parts come from NAPA, AutoZone, and eBay. Pistons: $30 each. Rings: $40 per set. Bearings: $25 per set. Gaskets: $60 for a complete set. The Corvair's parts are cheap because GM made 1.7 million Corvairs and the aftermarket has been supplying replacement parts for sixty years. A Corvair conversion flies on the same physics as a Lycoming the same thermodynamics, the same combustion cycle, the same propeller-driven thrust using parts that cost five percent as much. The Experimental-Amateur Built category that the FAA created in 1947 allows homebuilders to fly uncertified engines in aircraft they build themselves. Without that regulatory category, the Corvair would have stayed in junkyards forever. The FAA's rule created the pathway. The Corvair's accidental aircraft-engine specifications made it the cheapest engine to walk that pathway. William Wynne whose FlyCorvair program has been converting Corvairs for aviation since 1989 estimates that Corvair-powered aircraft have accumulated over 500,000 flight hours worldwide. Half a million hours. From an engine that was designed for grocery runs in a car Ralph Nader declared unsafe at any speed. The Corvair has now spent more hours in the air than many certified aircraft engine models that cost twenty times as much. Every hour is a testament to what happens when an automobile manufacturer accidentally designs an aircraft engine and a community of builders figures it out three decades later. The Corvair was the wrong engine for the car it was born in. It found the right application in the sky it was never designed for. Some engines are born into the wrong vehicle. The Corvair proves that the engine can outlive the mistake if someone finds the correct one.

  Making an informative post here about High-end #Riftbound market prices and stuff to be aware of after talking with several other high-end people, and also corroborating some of the prices on select items w/ @SehnbonTCG and others. As I'm seeing so much discussion on prices of cards/sales history on my timeline. I think it's important for there to be data points people can use, and then of course verification of things. So much discussion on Ahri/Jinx/Teemo card variants and also T1 boxes/signatures and misc rare items. Here is what certain letters will mean next to sale points: nc = noncompleted. pc = pure cash. c+t = cash and trade. t = trade. t = pure trade. o = offer. ? = Supposedly exists but I can't find anyone to 100% confirm. Best-Of Ahri: 46.2k (c+t), 30k, 30.3k, 30k, 32k, 42k, 35k, 40k, 50k, 45k, 115k, 133k, 270k (c+t), 200k< (? pc attempting to verify) is the the timeline of this cards sales not including exchanges of hands Best-Of Jinx: 30k, 25k, 28.5k, 30k, 26k, 25k, 33k, 60k(?) Best-Of Teemo: 3Xk(nc), 20k, 22k, 20k, 25k, 60k (onc), ?, 80k, ? BL OGN Sig Ahri: 45.5k (c+t), 50k(pc), 35k, 40k, 52k, 60k(c+t), 80k, One currently exists on consignment iirc. PSA10 MBA Black Diamond did NOT cause the PSA price to go up. BL SFD Sig Ahri: 16k, 18k, 20k(pc), 24k, 25k, 30k, 39k, 31k(c+t), 35k, 32k + Wild reported price points that aren't reflected in ebay auctions or requests BL Kai'Sa Sig: 32.5k, 40k, 45k, ? / Currently 2 are attempting to be sold w/ offers as high as 70k-80. BL GGEZ Teemo: 22k, 20k, 16k(pc), 25k, 20k(pc), 30k, 55k, 45k BL Panda Teemo: 10k, 45k, ? Other known BL Sigs: Various price points between 8k to 25k on recent sales, with the MF BL sale at 39k being most notable. Viktor jumped around from high 4's to almost 30k to now recently having been sold for low 20's. Lee Sin also has some interesting price points similar. Prizewall Metals: Highest sale point was 35k for Ahri and 20k+ for Teemo, several pure cash ones around 20~25k mark. Prize walls have been crashing hard recently. I believe as people realize PSA doesn't mean anything and so prices are starting to reflect the standard 10-12x divider of the best-Ofs + market correction. T1 English boxes: Lots of sales did happen at 9k+ price points. But there is a plethora of comps publicly searchable on Twitter/FB/etc around 3~4k. Current Ebay sales are around 4.5~5.5k The thing about the boxes is that you stand to open a Faker 20% of the time, and so their price is carried a bit by that. Figuring out a proper multipler on a sealed one risk is tricky. Watching how sale points go for Doran/Oner/Guma/Keria will affect the ebb and flow of boxes early on. Watching the current live auctions will be a good indicator of how things for sealed is going to turn out on these. Unlike Korean, English sealed boxes gain less by remaining sealed due to the absence of the godbox potential. T1 Korean boxes: These started at $3k~ and have gone down to $1.7~$2.1k steady, which is more impressive than ENG variant crash imo. It should be known that they [can] be found locally in Korea at price points between $943 USD to $1.4k USD range. They have gone up and down the past two weeks. To search these yourself go on bunjang dot co dot kr and search: 리프트바운드 T1 시그니처 . You can often be ghosted by the lister and the other scary thing about this is you need to confirm you're dealing with a Korean inside of Korea - otherwise the person can take the money and not deliver and Korean police will have no ability to do anything. Korean's are tied to their KSSN and can be tracked. Generally shipping is also a nightmare internationally and can add a lot of costs. Usually you'll need to pay a Korean to assist with these things due to the risk involved and headaches that can follow Korean T1 boxes have the godbox chance (0.4%) to get a signed box by the players. I expect there to be a clash on Korean vs English of select serials just going off requests/offers. T1 Chinese boxes: Like the Korean ones these are going for around $1200, but can be sourced locally in China for lower. Unfortunately these are harder to search than the Korean ones without assistance from someone who can make accounts on the sites. They can be found locally in China for as low as $650 in rare occasions. Unsure of the process of getting these out of China. Usually it involves a multi-step process and then the shipping also like Korea is a nightmare to anywhere outside of APAC regions. I don't see/get asked about these much at all, but honestly when I see some of the big sales in China from chinese collectors there might actually be more value to these than most people think. [IF] you hit the ultra rare serials lol. Random Best-Of's: Middle popular ones: Seems floor is around 35k~50k range. Non popular ones: The floor seems to be just below 20k where they are actively selling currently for a lot of the cards, but some have seen sales at low 10's. A general good rule for Best-Of's is to multiply the cards metal price for famous cards by 10-12x, and by 4-6x for non-popular ones. Misc rare things/limited promos: - Sealed Project K - Very hard to get data points on this, fast sales seem to be possible around 30k. - Riot VIP Summit mats/boxes - Very hard to get data points on this as well. For Ebay sale price point data, one of the most important things to do is 'see original listing' and check when/how/who did the bidding war. Even if you can't see the ID you can still see if it was just a battle of 2 people the entire time. This is unfortunately one of the potentially unfortunate sides of high-end because you can't tell if the auction is even legit. We saw this happen on a few Kai'Sa PSA10 auctions where the bidding history didn't make any sense and other BIN's sitting around didn't reflect the sudden bid-war. An example of a healthy bid-war that looks real you can search the BL SFD Ahri from July (both). Going to conclude with this: It seems like some stuff has slowed down and a market correction is going on, but at the same time some seem interested to prevent it. There is a need for transparency on these items and I hope this tweet can act as a source for some of it. Additionally I've heard claims of higher sell points on some cards but there is nothing reasonable for me to confirm it and so you won't see the numbers in this post. I'll likely end up discussing more stuff in a video at a later point. If you have questions feel free to DM my main @LSXYZ9 but please note I can be slow to reply depending on volume of messages on some days. I've been doing high-end collecting of MTG/PKMN/YGO for about 9 years now, but obviously I'm treating it a lot more serious with Riftbound because I love the game. Soon I'll be having a better data tracker for difficult to find sale data, and I'll also be having a website to help with things like this.

  @melvo24 eBay fees! Promoted listings- you can choose what percentage you want to pay from your listing in exchange for eBay promoting your items Below standard fees are if you are a below standard seller. This has to do with performance metrics (defects, unresolved issues, late shipping etc) and extra fees are charged to sellers who fall into the below standard seller ranking.

  Had an Air Force family live down the street from me. The oldest son was the neighborhood know-it-all and show-off. Of course, he had the nicest, most expensive bike among all the kids. Mongoose had a deal going with military exchanges, and last time I visited the nearest base commissary, they still do. Anyway this kid had a Mongoose. The Blue Max branded Mongoose. About two years later his dad was caught doing PCS fraud. Lost his commission. Had to sell his prize 1960s Corvette he kept in the garage. Had to sell the house pronto because the Air Force yanked his BAH the day they yanked his commission. They even tried to give away a Hawaiian vacation to whoever bought that stupid house, the poor fools. They never sold it. They defaulted. They showed up in town a few years later, the entire family riding motorcycles. They had no home anymore, so they just rode motorcycles, as a family, around the United States. Anyway if you still have your Mongoose or Hutch or Redline, they go for a lot of money on Ebay now.

  Ebay seller performance is the dumbest system I've ever seen if you are a hobby seller. Marks against you don't just fall off over time. They only improve with more sales. So if you have limited sales, the "low performance" % on some statistic just persists indefinitely. We have a mark over "cases closed without seller resolution". How in the world do we bring that % down as a hobby seller? Are we literally supposed to sell more, to have more cases opened against us, to then resolve them and bring the % down? This makes no sense. And the % calculation goes back literally over a year. And yet we get emails that we need to improve this stat. How @eBay would you propose I bring down a stat that requires more sales AND more cases opened (which is a negative outcome on an even smaller % of sales) in order to resolve them.

  @C_Landy84 I’ve had amazing luck with them actually. You have put a bid down early, monitor it, then set a reminder in phone to check eBay with 10 min left on the clock for bid ending Then with about 2 min left up your bid, wait for someone to beat it then with 10 secs up it again

  @foreverboy1111 @HitsAndCharts Regarding AG, it has been happening for years with all kinds of artists. You know based on the promoter and country who generally backdoor some stock. Regarding TM, I think it's the best to say what happened in Ireland: During covid, some shady lobbying pulled through a sale above FV ban with enough enforcement that websites left Ireland. LN/TM bought up almost all venues and as a result 96.8% or something like that of tickets are sold now on Ticketmaster in Ireland. Because of most secondaries leaving, only ticketswap, twickets and tm resell are left. Twickets closes 5 hours before the event, ticketswap randomly closes selling and it has terrible support and TM resell gets enabled and disabled randomly. On all you pay at least 20%. Sometimes tm resell is enabled and they turn transfer off forcing you to sell through TM either way. (fv exchanges don't accept securemypass) Sometimes they close transfer and resell when an event isnt selling well (Ed Sheeran last year) Now comes the catch, getting tickets for popular events has become a nightmare. FV went up many % and often more expensive than other euro countries. If an event is popular, you can't go to StubHub and pay a bit more. You need to buy on eBay or most often on Facebook shady groups with bank transfer. TM washes their hands because they aren't doing anything bad. High face values, full control of the market and full control of all tickets. If an event doesn't do well, they can close resell and transfer and people are forced to buy expensive primary tickets cuz no 10$ tickets on StubHub

  There’s no maths behind that number. Revenue of $5M or $10M tells you nothing about whether an ad account will make money. Margin and payback do. At $700k, 80 cent margins, money back inside a quarter, go and buy traffic on Monday. A $12M business scrapping over insurance keywords might never make paid work at any level of spend. Nobody invoices you for content and outreach, so everyone files them under free. Twenty founder hours a week on cold outreach is the priciest acquisition channel in the company. You’ll never see it in the CAC number. The most cited evidence against paid search is Blake, Nosko and Tadelis in Econometrica, 2015. They ran shutoff experiments at eBay. Brand keywords showed no measurable short-term benefit. On non-brand keywords, new and infrequent users did respond, while heavy users who responded to nothing absorbed most of the spend, so average returns were negative. Everybody quotes that and stops. eBay was turning over about $14 billion a year. It was paying to reach people who already knew who it was. The lift sat with the strangers. When nobody has heard of you, they’re all strangers. So the advice is to build until everyone knows your name, then start buying ads at roughly the point the evidence says they stop paying for themselves. The cost argument is upside down too. If auctions keep getting dearer, the cheapest tuition on offer is a bad $4k month with nobody watching. Learning the same lesson at $400k a quarter, with a board in the room, is a very different afternoon.
