This guy selling SNES Classics on eBay for $179.95 is a Tier-1 A-Hole


Look at this fucking guy.  Look at this picture and you see how this asshole is flaunting his pyramid of SNES Classics:


I really hate how a few dickbags can get their hands on a low-supply item like the SNES classic, mark it up and try to flip it on eBay and then call themselves "entrepreneurs".  Can I afford this?  Yes, but will I?  Fuck no.  Fuck this guy, I'm not going to support his effort of gouging people who want to play video games from their youth before they had better things to do like getting laid.  The worst part is, this asshole is building a box fort out of SNES Classics, and big box retailers are about as helpful as tits on a bull:



Thanks Target! Unavailable near me and unavailable to ship.  Let's go back to our boy ROBERTJ56.  He's got some fucking nerve to act like he's giving us a deal:


No, penis-breath, you're not giving us a 10% discount here.  A buyer is NOT saving $20.  A buyer is paying $100 more which is a 125% markup.  Fuck you and your fucking eBay store.  I hope you get herpes the next time you have sex.  With a goat.  This dude is the Floyd Mayweather of SNES Classics.

I'm on my way to 80K bonus points with the Chase Ink Business Preferred


Some of you may or may not know that I'm a credit card points hobbyist.  I've written before about my trip to Sydney, Australia funded by points, as well as why I think the Capital Venture one card is a piece of shit.

I'm not going to repeat myself here, but there are a lot of great credit card offers where you can rack up points for travel.  A lot of people are concerned about how opening up too many credit card accounts will effect their credit score.  My advice: stop being a fucking pussy.

Business cards are interesting because there are a lot of lucrative bonuses out there that people self-select out of because they don't think they're qualified.  Truth is, all you need to do to get a business card is say you have a sole proprietorship, make up a funny business name, and boom, you've got a business card.  What kind of business is "Just the Tip" involved in?  I sell shit on eBay.  That's good enough for Chase.

Other haters wonder what 80K points is worth.  With Chase, if you redeem them through the travel portal, they're worth $1000 in travel.  If you're not into that, you can get $800 cash back, which is a lot more than the $95 annual fee.  Even people that suck at math can figure that out.  If you want to go next level (like me), you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve card which means I can transfer the 80K to that card, and POOF! My points are worth $1200.

If you want some more official-looking shit, here's a post by the Points Guy regarding the Chase Ink Preferred.
