3/7/26 - Noah Profiles VC — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:01Um, and get it started. Um, first thing
- 0:04I guess we'll say is like if you got any
- 0:05like specific [clears throat] questions,
- 0:08um,
- 0:09try and just save it till the end. That
- 0:10way we can kind of get through
- 0:11everything and
- 0:14and all that. Um,
- 0:16if you need some like a little bit of a
- 0:18clarification or, you know, expand like,
- 0:21you know, slow down or repeat something,
- 0:23um, just like tag us in chat, you know,
- 0:25so we can slow down or step in and
- 0:28whatever. Try not just like shouting cut
- 0:30off Noah.
- 0:33Um,
- 0:35that's that's really all I have to say
- 0:37on my end. Um,
- 0:39really besides when it comes to profiles
- 0:41and
- 0:43and that type of stuff, a lot of it is
- 0:45going to come down to, you know, some
- 0:46experimentation on your end. So, what
- 0:48Noah's ultimately going to show is, you
- 0:50know, more of an approach than, you
- 0:52know, a a cookie-cutter recipe.
- 0:55Um,
- 0:57so,
- 0:58that that's really all I have to say.
- 1:01Um,
- 1:01Noah, take over the show, my friend.
- 1:04Yeah.
- 1:05Thank you, Hype. And I guess before I
- 1:07start, I want to thank everyone for
- 1:08coming. And I was just curious
- 1:11if you could [snorts] type in chat.
- 1:14You're breaking up a little bit.
- 1:16I am.
- 1:19I know there's some people from EU who
- 1:20is joining. So, I was just curious where
- 1:22everyone's from in the voice chat.
- 1:25Oh, and this is US-specific jigging
- 1:28stuff only, by the way. I
- 1:30I don't know if that's not clear.
- 1:34We are happy if you got like an if you
- 1:36EU people have like a US address, but we
- 1:38know nothing about your EU stuff.
- 1:41Mhm.
- 1:45Is my voice coming out okay now? Yeah,
- 1:46baby. Sounding good. Sounding sexy.
- 1:48>> Okay.
- 1:50Yeah. So,
- 1:52just sharing my screen here. So, I
- 1:54wanted to show people
- 1:56um, this tool I use to validate
- 1:58addresses.
- 2:00I'll just put it in the chat, too, so
- 2:01you can follow along.
- 2:05Where you post, by the way?
- 2:07Just TCG chat.
- 2:09Yeah.
- 2:10Or VC chat. Got it.
- 2:14Um, yeah. Really, what you just need is
- 2:16a FedEx account. Anybody can can make
- 2:18this and access this.
- 2:21It's all public info.
- 2:23And I found this tool really helpful in
- 2:25validating my addresses.
- 2:28Um,
- 2:29for example, this is an address I pulled
- 2:30from Indiana.
- 2:32And
- 2:34originally, it was like just a
- 2:35five-digit zip code.
- 2:37And you can perform a detailed address
- 2:39check here.
- 2:42Let's see.
- 2:45Yeah, so it returns what FedEx, at least
- 2:47what I think, what FedEx thinks is a
- 2:49valid address. So,
- 2:51I usually validate my apartment and
- 2:53house addresses within this uh tool.
- 2:56And I just copy it over to my bot, and I
- 2:59found this to be super successful in
- 3:02reducing the amount of decision managers
- 3:04I've received.
- 3:05Because my thinking is, you know, if
- 3:07Pokémon Center is working with FedEx
- 3:10on, you know, payment validation, it's
- 3:13going to be checking on, you know, the
- 3:15the validity of your address.
- 3:18It's going to be working with like, you
- 3:19know, the FedEx database, the USPS
- 3:21database for this.
- 3:23And so, it's going to be using a a
- 3:24system similar to this on what's
- 3:26considered valid.
- 3:28Um, because,
- 3:29you know, if if it's going to be flagged
- 3:31as an invalid address, it's definitely
- 3:33going to throw flags on how successful
- 3:36your checkout will be.
- 3:38So, that's that's my line of thinking,
- 3:40and I found it to be consistent with
- 3:43uh what I found to be successful. So, if
- 3:45I
- 3:45let's say plug in an apartment number,
- 3:52and perform a detailed address check.
- 3:56You know, it's going to be modified to
- 3:57achieve a match.
- 4:00Um
- 4:02Um so this is FedEx telling me that they
- 4:05don't recognize an apartment number.
- 4:08But
- 4:09let's say you do have like a a valid
- 4:11apartment. And I've tried it with
- 4:12apartments. It's and you mess with jigs
- 4:15with that, it's going to return
- 4:18a a valid response even with jigging, I
- 4:21found.
- 4:22So I would play around with this. I
- 4:24found pretty successful with line two
- 4:27um jigging and FedEx returns a a
- 4:29validation for that.
- 4:31And
- 4:33in return I found that to be pretty
- 4:35successful
- 4:36with
- 4:38my checkouts.
- 4:39And um on a related note with that, um
- 4:43that's like FedEx's tool. Um UPS has the
- 4:46same type a similar tool. USPS has a
- 4:49similar tool.
- 4:50If you were just to Google, you know,
- 4:51UPS address validation, UPS address
- 4:53validation, blah blah blah, they all
- 4:55exist.
- 4:56Um and then furthermore, like let's say
- 4:58you're looking at a site like Target.
- 5:01When you go in and put your address on
- 5:02Target, you have something similar pop
- 5:04up, you know, like the use suggested
- 5:06address box.
- 5:07>> [snorts]
- 5:08>> Ultimately, the best jigs are going to
- 5:09be a jig that doesn't pull that
- 5:12suggested address box up.
- 5:15Which means it thinks it's, you know, a
- 5:17brand new address, not a you just [ __ ]
- 5:19up your address address.
- 5:21So just kind of a broad more of a broad
- 5:26expansion on that thought process there.
- 5:28That's a a great tool, Mr. Noah.
- 5:31Thank you, and yes, is my audio still
- 5:32coming out okay? Yeah. Yep. Perfecto. Um
- 5:37and you know, this tool is not super all
- 5:38inclusive of
- 5:40Look at the few of you have used jigs in
- 5:43line one. And I don't know if FedEx
- 5:45would validate as like a invalid
- 5:47address, but it would work before
- 5:49Pokemon Center. So, this is just one
- 5:51approach
- 5:52that you can use to increase the
- 5:54success.
- 5:56Um so, that was
- 5:58just a brief overview as well as example
- 6:01I created.
- 6:02Um
- 6:04you know, at least for me
- 6:05I for my personal setup
- 6:08I run basically all hard cards at the
- 6:10moment. So, across Chase,
- 6:13Discover, Bank of America.
- 6:15And
- 6:17I
- 6:18given that it's, you know, a hard card,
- 6:20I use all real info.
- 6:22And so, I I actually have my
- 6:24>> [clears throat]
- 6:24>> first and last name the same.
- 6:26I have
- 6:27um
- 6:29you know, I keep real emails, emails on
- 6:30iCloud.
- 6:32And I use fake phone numbers, and it's
- 6:33been
- 6:34pretty good. So,
- 6:35at least from my understanding, they
- 6:36don't validate based off the names we
- 6:39use. It's really
- 6:41the main factor is just the address as
- 6:43well as the payment cards.
- 6:45Um
- 6:47>> [snorts]
- 6:47>> As a rule of thumb on my profiles with
- 6:50just on the name thing while it's fresh
- 6:52in my head,
- 6:54um I always use my real last name. I use
- 6:57a different first name.
- 6:59Because one of the things like, you
- 7:01know, every site has its different way
- 7:02of checking, you know, fraud and things
- 7:04they can look for and they're pretty
- 7:06much looking for you to, you know, pass
- 7:08a threshold.
- 7:10Um so, like not everything has to match,
- 7:12but one of the things they can look for
- 7:13is both a full and a partial name match
- 7:16to what's actually on the card. So,
- 7:20um I also find that using my real last
- 7:23name is uh just a kind thing to do to my
- 7:25drivers and makes
- 7:27um them finding my address a lot easier.
- 7:30So, sorry to interrupt.
- 7:31>> Definitely agree. No, I love the the
- 7:33commentary.
- 7:34Um yeah, to piggyback off that, you
- 7:36know, yep, the payment the bank looks
- 7:39for your names if it matches.
- 7:41It looks for your first
- 7:43your line one if it matches. They don't
- 7:45care about the line two.
- 7:47And they care about, you know, zip code
- 7:49and city. They look at all those items.
- 7:52Um
- 7:55Let's see.
- 7:57Guys going with this.
- 7:59I guess recently, so I recently opened
- 8:01up a Chase Ink card. And so, I kept the
- 8:04same jig that's been working with my
- 8:06other cards, the same like name, the
- 8:09same type of email,
- 8:11the same format of jigging, and it
- 8:13actually declined initially.
- 8:15And so, where I'm going with this is I
- 8:18kept the same standardized jig across
- 8:20all my addresses, and I know it works.
- 8:23But I know that since [clears throat]
- 8:25the
- 8:26profile declined, it was
- 8:27it was payment-related.
- 8:30And
- 8:31you know, I'm still working through
- 8:33business credit cards and
- 8:35the validity of it, but it's pretty
- 8:38interesting when I found out that a card
- 8:39I've never used before
- 8:41got a payment declined, but I understand
- 8:44it's not because of my address. It's
- 8:46potentially because of the BIN or
- 8:48um maybe how new the card is.
- 8:51Um
- 8:54I guess one thing I wanted to touch on
- 8:55was,
- 8:56you know, when I
- 8:59purchased a lot of items
- 9:01across all my cards for us the Sentetik
- 9:03Heroes drop, I used, you know, loop
- 9:05checkout and auto go to rotate profiles
- 9:09with this hidden AIO.
- 9:11And I noticed over time
- 9:14those same profiles that were working
- 9:16got declined, and I know a lot of people
- 9:19can resonate with this.
- 9:21And
- 9:22I feel like my hypothesis at this point
- 9:24is
- 9:25that
- 9:27it's flagging the amount of declines I'm
- 9:29getting with these profiles.
- 9:31And, you know, it keeps looping the
- 9:32checkout and auto rotate even if you
- 9:34checked out with the profile already.
- 9:37And so, I guess my
- 9:39best course of action right now is to
- 9:41rest those profiles at the moment.
- 9:43So, I can comment on that. And I I was
- 9:45going to talk I was going to touch on it
- 9:47a little more at the end after you got
- 9:48on profiles.
- 9:49So, in addition to
- 9:52um
- 9:52you know, the profile itself and it's
- 9:54part of what makes Pokémon Center so
- 9:55frustrating, in addition to the profile
- 9:57itself causing the decline,
- 10:00it can also be several other things
- 10:02related to
- 10:03um
- 10:04what's referred to basically as
- 10:05velocity, which means like how how many
- 10:07how many attempts um
- 10:10that can be on the IP being used, that
- 10:12can be on how many
- 10:14um checkout attempts the the card has
- 10:17had in the past X amount of time. So,
- 10:19it's not even just that drop, it can be
- 10:22you know, in the last 2 weeks, it can be
- 10:24you know, on all that.
- 10:25Um
- 10:26so, there is also a velocity component,
- 10:29you know, that comes into play, you
- 10:30know, with with both the proxies
- 10:33um
- 10:35and you know, the profile itself.
- 10:38Um and in addition to that, and I can't
- 10:41really
- 10:42necessarily prove this, but I've been
- 10:44running Poké Pokémon Center for so
- 10:47[ __ ] long now and just seen so much
- 10:49evidence on my side, I hold this to be
- 10:51true,
- 10:52but I believe there's there's periods of
- 10:54time where the the payment processor is
- 10:57just basically flat out denying
- 10:58everything. It has zero zero to do with
- 11:01anything
- 11:02on [snorts] your end. Um
- 11:04I don't know if you guys have also
- 11:05noticed, but checkouts come in waves.
- 11:08And then there'll just be a chunk of
- 11:10time where there's like no
- 11:13no checkouts at all,
- 11:14you know, on and then you'll just get a
- 11:16ton more checkouts, you know, though
- 11:18you'll get two or three at once.
- 11:20And then you'll get decision manner for
- 11:2120 minutes. And then you'll get you
- 11:22know, you get what I'm saying?
- 11:24So, I think I think there are some
- 11:26components outside of it that make
- 11:27diagnosing this frustrating, so I don't
- 11:31when looking at a profile and, you know,
- 11:34determining if it's good, bad, whatever,
- 11:36I wouldn't necessarily look at like
- 11:39it not working one time, you know,
- 11:43as a bad thing. You've probably even
- 11:45seen a profile get, you know,
- 11:47decision manager and then the same drop
- 11:49at checkout, you know, 10 minutes later.
- 11:52It's just it's it's a goofy site that
- 11:54makes, you know, these things very very
- 11:56very hard to diagnose.
- 11:58>> [snorts]
- 11:59>> Mhm.
- 12:00Yeah, completely agree. Like
- 12:02drop dependent, you know, keep trying
- 12:04across different types of drops.
- 12:06Um you know, try to keep at least one
- 12:08variable
- 12:10and keep the rest consistent. Um
- 12:13So,
- 12:16I guess I I dumped a lot of info.
- 12:18I want to take a quick pause for
- 12:20questions.
- 12:25>> [snorts]
- 12:26>> So, I got a question actually.
- 12:29Yeah.
- 12:30So, today I noticed when signing up for
- 12:34uh sorry,
- 12:35uh when signing up for this One Piece
- 12:36drop that's happening on Monday, right?
- 12:38To to basically reset the profiles on
- 12:40the website itself,
- 12:42the the book website,
- 12:44I'm using Amex employee hard cards right
- 12:46now.
- 12:47And
- 12:50It's not for some reason it wouldn't
- 12:53accept Like so, my understanding is Amex
- 12:57doesn't care about billing and shipping
- 12:58and I keep it all the same. So, if I
- 13:02set up
- 13:03a physical address somewhere and I jig
- 13:05it 10 times, it's not the actual billing
- 13:07address that was set up with the Amex.
- 13:11Um
- 13:12today when I was signing up for that for
- 13:14that
- 13:15One Piece book website, I was inputting
- 13:18those cards with the addresses that I
- 13:20have, whether it's physical or a little
- 13:22bit jigged,
- 13:23it wasn't accepting the
- 13:25the credit card. It just kept
- 13:27denying and I checked the card and I saw
- 13:29that it would charge the card $1 and
- 13:31then refund the $1.
- 13:33Then I actually put that same card in
- 13:35with the actual billing address that was
- 13:38signed up with the Amex card and it
- 13:40accepted it.
- 13:42Which makes me think that
- 13:44billing does have like there is some
- 13:46sort of rule with billing and and item
- 13:48demand on some of these
- 13:49>> So let's
- 13:50let's keep
- 13:52unrelated questions to the end, please,
- 13:54cuz there are a lot of people here and
- 13:55they're only here to to listen to that
- 13:58specific thing. So let's try and
- 14:01try and keep unrelated stuff um
- 14:05until the end once like all what's Q&A
- 14:08with Noah's is wrapped up. But it is
- 14:11semi-related, so to to give a quick
- 14:13answer to your questions,
- 14:15there's
- 14:16basically two sides to the to the
- 14:19equation.
- 14:20Um
- 14:21there's the merchant and then there's
- 14:23Amex.
- 14:24Amex doesn't give a [ __ ] what you use.
- 14:27They do not give a single [ __ ] You
- 14:28could send it to Dingleberry Smith in
- 14:31[ __ ] Antarctica and Amex would be
- 14:34okay, sweet.
- 14:36Now, does the merchant care?
- 14:39I see. The merchant it goes back to, you
- 14:41know, the the fraud thing I'm checking
- 14:43for earlier. You know, they they send
- 14:45the information to Amex. Does it match
- 14:47XYZ on Amex's, you know, side? And then
- 14:51Amex sends back, you know, a reply, you
- 14:53know,
- 14:54partial name on partial [clears throat]
- 14:56match on the name, you know, zip code on
- 14:58the address doesn't match. It it sends
- 15:00back that. It's not sending back, you
- 15:02know,
- 15:03oh, no, his name is actually this and
- 15:05his address is actually this. It's just
- 15:07sending back
- 15:09uh you know, I see what you're saying.
- 15:11So each side is basically has its own
- 15:12basic verification for the billing.
- 15:14Yeah, and they can, you know, turn it,
- 15:16you know, up and down, you know, and
- 15:19you know, on a drop and as you know,
- 15:21more site security, I'm sure you know,
- 15:22AI has
- 15:24has a whole thing where uh you know,
- 15:28as a site seeing more traffic, you know,
- 15:30it gets it gets harder to push orders
- 15:33through and stuff like that.
- 15:35You know, I I do also believe that it's
- 15:37easier to check out earlier on Pokémon
- 15:39Center than it is later in the drop.
- 15:42At least it used to be. At this point,
- 15:44the [ __ ] site gets slammed with a
- 15:45bazillion tasks, you know, auto
- 15:47starting, so
- 15:51Yeah. Hey Anews, can I say something? I
- 15:52know you guys talked about cards. Um
- 15:55uh something that's worked for me is if
- 15:56you have unused privacy cards that are
- 15:59Visas that are old, they don't really
- 16:01make the Visas anymore. It's usually
- 16:02Mastercard. [snorts]
- 16:03Uh I've never had decision manager on
- 16:06those almost ever.
- 16:08Yeah.
- 16:09Yeah, I mean, there there's probably
- 16:10merit to that. I haven't personally
- 16:12tried that, but
- 16:14Yeah, I I use one almost Oh, I use a
- 16:16bunch actually every drop. I wish I had
- 16:17more, but uh
- 16:19yeah, that's something that if anyone
- 16:20has any, you should really try it. Yeah,
- 16:22and Privacy doesn't give a [ __ ] what you
- 16:24use.
- 16:25But yeah, it's got to be old Visa ones.
- 16:27In general, cards really, they don't
- 16:29care what you use. It's It's just It's
- 16:31really on the
- 16:33the merchant side.
- 16:34>> I get I get declined on Mastercards
- 16:36every time. I mean, I don't know if
- 16:37anyone else for the VCCs, but uh well,
- 16:40just for Privacy in general, but the old
- 16:42Visa ones, I use them almost every drop
- 16:44and they check out.
- 16:46Yeah.
- 16:47Yeah, I have like one Visa card from
- 16:492020 from Privacy that works.
- 16:51>> I went through them and I had so many
- 16:54with that I like entered like one thing
- 16:55on them. I'm like, [ __ ] I wish I had
- 16:56more, dude, but I have like 20 of them
- 16:58that I use all the time.
- 17:01Um okay, so Primetime, any questions?
- 17:04Try another Play card.
- 17:07Yeah, like Primetime, just try another
- 17:09card. You know, sometimes it's just it's
- 17:12it's goofy. I mean, there's not
- 17:15but
- 17:17Yes.
- 17:17>> [clears throat]
- 17:17>> Um did
- 17:18>> Z. oh, you want to go ahead? No, no, I
- 17:20was just going to ask if anyone had any
- 17:21other questions before
- 17:23um
- 17:24we got got moving along.
- 17:26It looks like somebody in chat said what
- 17:28first line jakes do you see working more
- 17:30and more for Pokémon Center?
- 17:32So
- 17:33I personally haven't um
- 17:36experimented as much with line one jakes
- 17:38as I have done for line two jakes.
- 17:41From what I've seen
- 17:42working with the community here
- 17:45I've noticed
- 17:46um
- 17:48Let's let's say something is like
- 17:53North like 600 North Street.
- 17:55Somebody somebody is like having two two
- 17:59Os instead of one O O for North.
- 18:02And I've seen that working for Pokémon
- 18:04Center.
- 18:07So that's I I guess that's one type of
- 18:09jig I've seen
- 18:10working well for people. That's
- 18:12something you could try out. I I use
- 18:14simple I use simple three letter two and
- 18:16three letter jakes and I mean they work
- 18:18for me just fine. I mean I get a
- 18:20bazillion item mans but
- 18:23I I brute force enough to where it works
- 18:25for me.
- 18:27Um other ideas you can try
- 18:30is like let's say you live on you know
- 18:33North Hidden Street.
- 18:35You know in the same zip code as yours
- 18:37is there a South Hidden Street? If not,
- 18:39you could try South Hidden Street.
- 18:42There's a good chance your mailman's
- 18:43like smart enough to be like oh, he just
- 18:45[ __ ] up you know the North South.
- 18:48You know stuff like that and that's
- 18:50going to look like obviously you know a
- 18:51brand new you know a completely
- 18:53different address but your mailman's
- 18:55still going to
- 18:56be able to get it to you.
- 19:03Some third party said
- 19:04>> [snorts]
- 19:05>> go ahead. Yeah, one more questions then
- 19:06we generally speaking like what is there
- 19:10I think
- 19:11too jakes for one address that you could
- 19:13kind of say it's
- 19:15overkill.
- 19:17No. Is there like
- 19:20I haven't seen a max yet. I think when
- 19:21it comes to if you find a jig that
- 19:23works, that becomes a
- 19:25a payment method scalability.
- 19:29Yep.
- 19:30>> So you
- 19:31you basically just you'll
- 19:33use as many profiles as you can if one
- 19:35jig works for [snorts] one address.
- 19:36>> I mean, I have one address and I I mean,
- 19:38I've I I had until before cancels, I had
- 19:4224 orders on you know, a Sneaker Hero
- 19:44ETBs. They canceled all of them, but
- 19:47I have no idea, you know, what
- 19:50what's really the cause of that. I
- 19:51haven't really stressed myself out about
- 19:53it. I'm definitely not happy, but
- 19:56Yeah. Yeah, I'm just curious if like you
- 19:58have like 200 [snorts]
- 20:00you know, profiles I do.
- 20:02>> one address one jig. Yeah, I do. Yeah.
- 20:04I understand.
- 20:05But I But I mean, I rotate them. You
- 20:07know, like I was saying earlier, I
- 20:08constantly just add in some like new
- 20:09profiles every here and there.
- 20:12Um
- 20:14you know, I I have hundreds of profiles
- 20:17cuz I I I'll run, you know,
- 20:20you know, one set of my proxies and one
- 20:22one set of profiles, you know, one drop
- 20:24and then the next drop I'll run the next
- 20:26and you know, to try and keep down those
- 20:28velocity metrics.
- 20:31But all to one address, just jig
- 20:32different ways essentially. Mhm.
- 20:34>> And I I mean, Pokémon Center's way
- 20:37better scaled horizontally, which means
- 20:38more addresses, but you know, that's
- 20:41really not that feasible for me. My I'm
- 20:44My friends are all in their late 30s and
- 20:45married and their wives want nothing to
- 20:47do with packages showing up at their
- 20:48house.
- 20:49Right.
- 20:52Hey, uh
- 20:54hey, Noah, are you news? Did you guys go
- 20:55over uh line two jigs? Like or just as
- 20:58in general? I'm I came in like 4 minutes
- 21:00late.
- 21:01Uh not yet. So, at the end of the
- 21:03session, if you guys stay, I'm going to
- 21:05show you what what I use for my line two
- 21:07jigs
- 21:08as a size. So
- 21:09>> thank you. Yeah, let's just keep it
- 21:11moving. Let's go to the next next topic.
- 21:13I feel like a lot of this will just get
- 21:14answered. Um
- 21:15like this isn't the end. Like let's just
- 21:17keep moving on and I feel like a lot of
- 21:19this will
- 21:20um get answered. So
- 21:23Yeah, so I know some people have some
- 21:25questions. I'll leave that to the end.
- 21:27Um
- 21:30Can somebody provide me an apartment
- 21:32address? It could be like any random
- 21:34apartment address.
- 21:35Just has to be valid. Uh For this
- 21:38123
- 21:41North Hidden Street, apartment one.
- 21:47Uh
- 21:48Oh, like a
- 21:49Real real, yeah.
- 21:51Yeah, I mean you just make whatever up.
- 21:54Um
- 21:56I'll give you one. Give me one second.
- 22:03The reason I'm asking uh a real address
- 22:05is I want to show you
- 22:07>> Oh, you wanted a real one. the valid
- 22:09FedEx tool. It's going to show
- 22:11with the jig that it's going to show up
- 22:12as valid. So I got you.
- 22:15I got one.
- 22:16It's on Manhattan.
- 22:20Can you uh post it in chat?
- 22:23I just sent one in chat. Yeah.
- 22:26Okay.
- 22:30I'll put it in the TCG
- 22:32Sorry, I didn't realize you needed a a
- 22:34real one.
- 22:36That's okay.
- 22:37There's a real one TCG chat.
- 22:39Cool. Thank you. I can try
- 22:42some multiple examples for the the team.
- 22:46That's okay.
- 22:59Yeah, so let's say I live here 120
- 23:00George Street, you know, apartment 514.
- 23:03Um
- 23:07No formal detailed address check. And
- 23:10so, FedEx is going to return with Yeah.
- 23:12you know, what it's going to see
- 23:15on their side.
- 23:16And so, if I wanted to just use real
- 23:18information, I would just copy Mhm,
- 23:20okay.
- 23:20>> this this info.
- 23:26Okay. This is just a visual glitch, but
- 23:28essentially it'd be Mhm.
- 23:30this and and that.
- 23:32Let's say I wanted to jig this address.
- 23:34So, what I do is a simple one letter
- 23:36jig.
- 23:36>> Okay.
- 23:38I do this.
- 23:43And so, right now Got you. despite what
- 23:46you know, what FedEx is saying, it's
- 23:48saying this address is valid. So,
- 23:49whatever I put here
- 23:51FedEx told me that
- 23:53>> this is valid. So, I've I've scaled this
- 23:55to
- 23:57>> nine addresses. Okay, got you. You know,
- 23:59in that city zeros drop, I
- 24:01Thanks.
- 24:02>> to get full checkouts
- 24:05and no cancellations. So,
- 24:08that's my little sauce you can try out
- 24:10for your own profiles, but
- 24:12you can scale it across
- 24:14you know, 514A to 514Z across different
- 24:17multiple payment methods.
- 24:20I mean, I use all hard cards and a
- 24:22couple of VCCs
- 24:23for this.
- 24:25And that's what I typically use.
- 24:32What if no apartment, does it still
- 24:33work?
- 24:36It So, if the address is not originally
- 24:39an apartment address, it
- 24:41Well,
- 24:46if it's not originally an apartment
- 24:48address, it's not it's going to be FedEx
- 24:49is going to say that's not a a valid
- 24:51apartment. So, it's going to say
- 24:53invalid.
- 24:54But, if you just wanted to
- 24:57you know, just ship it to the line. You
- 25:00can also ship it to the line without any
- 25:02apartment.
- 25:03And it's going to come up as valid, too.
- 25:04That's one of
- 25:06our profiles. I just have the line item
- 25:09and no apartment.
- 25:17And what if apartment's a letter? So, I
- 25:19would I would experiment with, you know,
- 25:21a apartment A1, A2. Just very simple
- 25:25um
- 25:27letters or numbers.
- 25:36I don't
- 25:36know if you can see this.
- 25:39Let's do that address.
- 26:18Yes, it's going to correct, you know,
- 26:19what FedEx
- 26:20thinks it's
- 26:22valid on their end. I correct it. Um for
- 26:24some reason there's a
- 26:26But that was a visual glitch, but you
- 26:28get the idea. It corrected the zip code
- 26:30to make it extended
- 26:32as well as, you know, clearing the
- 26:34formatting up.
- 26:36Um
- 26:39I'm curious if I add like an additional
- 26:40letter,
- 26:41it's going to come up as valid.
- 26:45Yeah, this tool is really useful.
- 26:52I think it was an easy one.
- 26:58>> Mhm, that's good.
- 27:09Yes, if I was you I would experiment
- 27:10with the numbers and letters.
- 27:15It makes it a little more difficult
- 27:16since there's both letters and numbers
- 27:18on this.
- 27:19But
- 27:20I would experiment around.
- 27:27Yes.
- 27:28I need you to write something over here.
- 27:29My wife.
- 27:36You need a FedEx account to use that for
- 27:37this, right?
- 27:40Oh, [ __ ]
- 27:49I just Is somebody talking? Yeah, I just
- 27:52muted him.
- 27:54>> [clears throat]
- 27:54>> I just muted him. Am I Q?
- 27:57Am I Q? Mute your mic, bro, please. He's
- 28:01He's I muted him. I muted him. He's
- 28:03good. He He had a wife or significant
- 28:05other or child come in the room. It did
- 28:06happen. He's father, husband, care. That
- 28:09happens. Yeah, yeah, of course. Of
- 28:10course.
- 28:12Sorry about that, guys.
- 28:18Uh
- 28:19Let's see.
- 28:25Yeah, Don Pablo, yep, I use the site to
- 28:27check if this is a Jake works.
- 28:30Um specifically line two Jakes.
- 28:32Um
- 28:36>> [clears throat]
- 28:45>> Yeah, no cash card, so what I do is I
- 28:47keep billing and shipping the same, you
- 28:49know, from a
- 28:50payment perspective. If you see a lot of
- 28:52people
- 28:53If you see some If you see like a
- 28:54customer
- 28:55using multiple different shipping
- 28:57addresses for the same billing profile,
- 28:59I would consider that a flag. Um
- 29:02especially since
- 29:04you know, still looking at household
- 29:06activity and making sure each person
- 29:08has, you know, one household.
- 29:11I would keep it the same if possible.
- 29:18Michael J, so
- 29:21you want the zip code, at least for hard
- 29:23cards, you want the zip code to be the
- 29:24same. You want the first line to be the
- 29:26same
- 29:27and the name to be the same.
- 29:29You know, when you're looking at virtual
- 29:30card card providers, it changes.
- 29:33But for hard cards, that's what I do.
- 29:37When When you say you want
- 29:39it to be the same, the same to the as
- 29:40the shipping, right?
- 29:44Um
- 29:48Yes.
- 29:53I mean, I'm new to US bottom, so if
- 29:56you're doing something like Pokémon
- 29:58Center, right, in the US,
- 30:00but it Do they filter by zip code?
- 30:04Or is it
- 30:06Cuz I know some people jig and if their
- 30:07zip code's the same on two orders,
- 30:09that's it. The whole Whatever orders
- 30:12clipped. Um Well, that's how I got my
- 30:15main address clipped, so is it the same
- 30:17in the US?
- 30:20No, no.
- 30:23Oh. Yeah. You know, if it's
- 30:26You're saying like if it's the same zip
- 30:27code across two orders,
- 30:30They're not clipping They're not
- 30:31clipping zip codes like it's [ __ ]
- 30:32Yeezy Supply. No.
- 30:33>> I'm I'm
- 30:35genuinely I'm pretty sure I clipped my
- 30:37zip code.
- 30:38Like that's how
- 30:40I got my Pokémon Center stuff clipped.
- 30:42They're not going to deny you at least.
- 30:44They're not going to deny
- 30:47thousands and thousands and thousands of
- 30:48potential customers just because of one
- 30:51[ __ ] like that.
- 30:53Just no.
- 30:56I mean the way it worked in the EU is
- 30:58your zip code only every other address
- 31:01>> this for the end. Let's save this for
- 31:02the end so the people who are here for
- 31:04Pokémon Center can get what they're here
- 31:05for.
- 31:07Yeah. Appreciate the question though. Um
- 31:10Paven, yeah, you can you can uh try it
- 31:11on UPS. You know, FedEx uses the USPS
- 31:13database. And that's shared across UPS
- 31:16and FedEx, so
- 31:18um it's going to be valid across
- 31:21you know, all shipping. That's why I
- 31:22also use this for you know, Sam's Club
- 31:24and Costco.
- 31:27Or some other sites.
- 31:32Um
- 31:44Let's see. It should generally be the
- 31:45same across them, Paven Pavan. I'm
- 31:48sorry, I don't know how to pronounce it.
- 31:49Um
- 31:50It should generally be the same across
- 31:51them, but it wouldn't hurt to
- 31:55to use what shipping courier generally
- 31:58ships for you.
- 32:11I don't think there's another city
- 32:12associated with this address.
- 32:16There's a There's the
- 32:19a thousands of zip codes in the US,
- 32:21Burb. Thousands.
- 32:25There's like three or four in my town.
- 32:44>> 2406 message drive, Bakersfield,
- 32:48California.
- 32:49No, I already said no to that question,
- 32:51verb.
- 32:54It is no.
- 32:56They're not banning zip codes like they
- 32:58do on Yeezy Supply. It's just a simple
- 33:00flat out
- 33:03no.
- 33:10Oh, is the stream full? And I just found
- 33:13out. Let me see, is there a way I can
- 33:15make it bigger?
- 33:21All right.
- 33:22Um
- 33:24Yeah, no dark flame master. For some
- 33:26reason this
- 33:28repopulated to New Jersey.
- 33:29>> Video chat isn't available for more than
- 33:41Yeah, so in this case I would just
- 33:43as a simple change, just change the zip
- 33:45code, and it just makes it increases
- 33:47your chances to get a checkout. Cuz this
- 33:51is how USPS formats, this is how FedEx
- 33:53formats.
- 33:54So,
- 33:55less likely to require flag.
- 33:57Um if you were having if you were having
- 33:59trouble watching, I just shared my
- 34:02screens of
- 34:04his screen so that
- 34:07it works. I think there's a 25 max limit
- 34:09on viewing a stream, so sorry about
- 34:11that. That should be fixed, though. Just
- 34:12watch me.
- 34:14Yeah, sorry, guys.
- 34:17>> [snorts]
- 34:17>> Yes, if I had to do line one jakes, I
- 34:19know some people experiment with um
- 34:23Let me make it bigger.
- 34:24>> increasing the letter count like two
- 34:25e's, two s's.
- 34:29Or like what what In-N-Out says, he does
- 34:31like a simple
- 34:33you know three letter jig here.
- 34:38I [clears throat] do it all over the
- 34:39place. I do it both before the numbers,
- 34:41between the numbers in the address, and
- 34:43then all the way at the end. And doing
- 34:44all the way at the end is pretty much
- 34:45the same as doing it in a apartment
- 34:46number, but
- 34:48Mhm.
- 34:49Yeah, so
- 34:50experiment with those approaches and if
- 34:53you find one that really works,
- 34:55then select that one only and just scale
- 34:58it. And then Another one that which you
- 35:01can't really scale too much is you can
- 35:03look at doing stuff like if you live on
- 35:05North Hidden Street, um
- 35:07you know, is there a South Hidden Street
- 35:09or an East or a West Hidden Street
- 35:12um in the same
- 35:14you know, zip code. If not, then you can
- 35:16probably use, you know, the East, South,
- 35:18or West, you know,
- 35:20version.
- 35:21And I think once you start doing [ __ ]
- 35:23like that is when it comes in really
- 35:24helpful to be using your real last name
- 35:26cuz your postal carrier is going to look
- 35:28at that and be like
- 35:30Oh, like I know that fool. He actually
- 35:32lives on North, you know, Hidden Street,
- 35:34blah blah blah blah blah.
- 35:35>> [snorts]
- 35:36>> Um you can do like slight misspellings,
- 35:40you know, to where it
- 35:42you know, your carrier should be
- 35:44intelligent enough to get there, but it
- 35:46looks like a different address.
- 35:48So, instead of like Hidden, H I D D E N,
- 35:51you could do like, you know, Huddin, H U
- 35:55D D, you know, E N, which still looks
- 35:57like it can be a, you know, a real
- 35:59street name.
- 36:00It's not going to pull up valid, you
- 36:02know, in the address validator tool,
- 36:04um but [ __ ] like that does work.
- 36:08>> [snorts]
- 36:09>> So,
- 36:11you just got to you just got to
- 36:12experiment once you start, you know,
- 36:14getting off the wall with the jigs on
- 36:16what's actually going to get get through
- 36:18for
- 36:20um your situation.
- 36:22So, I do all sorts of stuff like that. I
- 36:24don't really mess with line two too much
- 36:26cuz I'm in an apartment.
- 36:28Mhm. Yeah, so yeah, different
- 36:29approaches.
- 36:32Um
- 36:36Yeah, when I think of like line one
- 36:37jakes and I get this message that says
- 36:39it was modified,
- 36:41I think of like
- 36:44I don't like a Pokémon center side. You
- 36:46have like two addresses
- 36:47that you Jake line one
- 36:49and their processor modifies it
- 36:54to match
- 36:55USPS.
- 36:59Sometimes they'll catch you, sometimes
- 37:01they won't, but
- 37:02at least from what I see some what I
- 37:04hypothesize from like a payment side,
- 37:06they're going to see like duplicates
- 37:08once they match like a Jake address like
- 37:10this
- 37:11to the actual address.
- 37:14But
- 37:19Nice.
- 37:22>> [snorts]
- 37:34>> Morning star says, "How do you feel
- 37:35about a Jake address line one?"
- 37:38Yeah, I would keep Jake to a minimum.
- 37:42Um
- 37:43the more you change to an address,
- 37:45the greater it's going to get flagged or
- 37:47even at a point where it becomes
- 37:48unreadable where the
- 37:51processor can't match it to an actual
- 37:52address.
- 37:54Um
- 37:55I would keep it minimal based on and use
- 37:57the suggestions.
- 38:10Yeah, at least for me quality over
- 38:11quantity.
- 38:12Um
- 38:13that's why I only have like 10 profiles
- 38:15that I'm actively using every drop.
- 38:17Um
- 38:19Taking out cards that get payment
- 38:22declined and
- 38:23you know, methodically looking at
- 38:26did I keep the same address? Was it a
- 38:28real address? What payment card did I
- 38:30use? Was it a virtual card provider? You
- 38:32know, VCCs
- 38:34are more likely to get flagged than hard
- 38:36cards.
- 38:43And like someone mentioned, a privacy
- 38:45old cards that works super well.
- 38:47I've experimented in scaling across
- 38:49different
- 38:50privacy cards, like newer privacy cards
- 38:52and
- 38:53other privacy cards that were older and
- 38:56I have got gotten payment declines with
- 38:58decision managers.
- 39:00So, experimenting with what works and
- 39:03you know, not overboarding yourself with
- 39:05it.
- 39:22Yeah, for homes, Don Pablo, so I've I've
- 39:25like I mentioned, I've seen people do
- 39:27well with like adding an extra letter
- 39:30or like InUse mentioned
- 39:33some three-letter jigs across the
- 39:34address.
- 39:35But I'd really use a tool to experiment
- 39:37what can work and what doesn't. You
- 39:39know, I probably haven't looked at
- 39:41everything
- 39:42within this tool for homes.
- 39:44>> [snorts]
- 39:44>> And so you might be able to find
- 39:45something that I
- 39:46haven't.
- 39:48And hopefully you can share with me so I
- 39:49can scale.
- 40:12Yeah, so for BGC again, you know, you
- 40:13can you can
- 40:15try out different I'll try different
- 40:17methodologies like we mentioned and see
- 40:19what sticks.
- 40:20So different letters like extending a
- 40:21letter by one,
- 40:23you know.
- 40:25Adding it in in different places like
- 40:26this.
- 40:28Um
- 40:32Apartment jigs online too.
- 40:35Yep.
- 40:36Um
- 40:37I've also been trying to experiment with
- 40:39like
- 40:41when you when you live in like in a huge
- 40:43household,
- 40:45you can add like an attention to
- 40:46somebody.
- 40:48So like attention to my name.
- 40:50Um
- 40:53Good [snorts] old Nike style jigs.
- 40:56Yeah.
- 41:00Yeah, so in this case this works. Um
- 41:023406 Mesa Drive attention Noah. FedEx is
- 41:05showing this as a valid address.
- 41:07Um
- 41:17Yeah.
- 41:18I would refrain from using
- 41:22considering a jig as like different like
- 41:25saying drive to drive, stuff like this.
- 41:27It's going to
- 41:28at least from my view, it's going to
- 41:30format into the USPS database of what
- 41:32it's it's going to be.
- 41:33>> Yeah, it's the same thing.
- 41:34>> they're going to want any more more more
- 41:36additions.
- 41:37Yeah.
- 41:43I think you're better off, you know, an
- 41:45example of a line jig here too. Like
- 41:47this, you know, just going back to like
- 41:49really simple [ __ ] to where like you
- 41:52know, a
- 41:53a human might make the stupid mistake
- 41:55of, you know, this is just 3406 Mesa
- 41:58Drive, you know. He could probably put
- 41:593406, you know, North Mesa Drive.
- 42:03You know, something stupid, you know,
- 42:05that you know, your grandma might put
- 42:08because
- 42:09she would.
- 42:11>> [snorts]
- 42:11>> You know, that it's it's experiment with
- 42:14stuff like that.
- 42:21Or if you you know, you do live on, you
- 42:23know, let's say if it was North Mesa
- 42:25Drive, you just did Mesa Drive.
- 42:28You know, but your post office carrier
- 42:29is going to
- 42:31be smart enough to find it.
- 42:33You just got to you know, kind of know
- 42:35those things and maybe take a gamble
- 42:38and hope it gets to the right place.
- 42:40Once you start doing [ __ ] like that,
- 42:45that's also again, I'll just repeat
- 42:47again why I always use my real last
- 42:49name, especially since I have a you
- 42:51pretty unique last name.
- 42:54They definitely know it's my [ __ ]
- 43:00>> [snorts]
- 43:12>> Yeah, I played around. This is
- 43:14interesting actually. 3506 Mesa Drive,
- 43:17you know,
- 43:18sounds like experimenting with different
- 43:19things.
- 43:20I didn't think this would work honestly.
- 43:22FD and it's saying it's valid.
- 43:24Um
- 43:26You know, there's different messages you
- 43:27get with this. There is it gets
- 43:29modified, which means they match it to
- 43:32you know, an address they have on file
- 43:34and they don't recognize an apartment
- 43:35with that. Another one is it's they say
- 43:38it's an invalid address. And so, if you
- 43:40see that when you validate your
- 43:41addresses, then
- 43:42that's definitely not
- 43:44a jig you should use. So, this is pretty
- 43:46interesting.
- 43:48Um
- 43:51I might try this out for my own profiles
- 43:52to see if it works.
- 43:56And if it does, we do.
- 44:03If you do apartments, see, it says it
- 44:04gets modified. So,
- 44:10>> [clears throat]
- 44:21>> So essentially the goal of this FedEx
- 44:22tool is to um
- 44:24avoid the modification and try to have
- 44:26it look seem like a unique address,
- 44:28right? Mhm. Yeah, exactly. If um if I do
- 44:32FedEx thinks it's good, then it's going
- 44:34to significantly reduce the mod
- 44:35decisions managers you get. That's like
- 44:37one of the biggest components. Yeah.
- 44:40Makes sense.
- 44:50>> [snorts]
- 44:50>> Cash Cardy, can you elaborate on that?
- 44:52I don't really understand.
- 44:55Yeah, I appreciate the comment Morning
- 44:56Star, you know. That your comments
- 45:00prompted me to try that out, so
- 45:02that's another jig that I'll probably
- 45:04experiment with FDSD.
- 45:15Yeah, if I had to start from scratch,
- 45:17you know, and only have one address, you
- 45:19know, validate that the real info works
- 45:21first with your cards
- 45:23and then scale from there.
- 45:25That way you can you have a constant,
- 45:27which is your address. You know it
- 45:29works, and then your variable is your
- 45:32um payment methods. Excuse me.
- 45:39I think we're fully in like the question
- 45:41and answer portion at this point, so
- 45:44um keep it to
- 45:47Pokemon Center profile stuff at first,
- 45:49and then once that seems all
- 45:52wiped out, we can really well open up to
- 45:54whatever from uh
- 45:57from there. I just want to keep it
- 45:58profile centric at first, cuz I know
- 46:00there might be a lot of people here like
- 46:02just for that and I don't want to waste
- 46:03their time.
- 46:08>> [snorts]
- 46:09>> Let [clears throat] me get back to my
- 46:10computer and off my ass.
- 46:14I was eating some pizza.
- 46:19>> [sighs]
- 46:20>> two priorities
- 46:22And this one it looks like to be a house
- 46:24address
- 46:26is my understanding. So
- 46:28what I mentioned before I did like a FD
- 46:30as a line two.
- 46:33And it returned a
- 46:37valid address. I'm not going to go any
- 46:38more to this cuz I know I want people to
- 46:40experiment themselves.
- 46:43But this is something you can try out.
- 46:47And then with the line two you can add
- 46:48an additional letter to the apartment.
- 46:53Has the info been helpful guys so far?
- 46:56Or I'm just rambling.
- 46:58No, it's good.
- 47:01Actually a lot of good info.
- 47:07Yeah, keep going with the questions. I
- 47:08think we're going to keep this until
- 47:09like 2:00.
- 47:12Uh
- 47:14With Pokemon Sun and Moon I know it's
- 47:16kind of a toss-up but have you guys
- 47:18noticed any more success for first line
- 47:22or second line generic
- 47:24or is it just a
- 47:25gamble?
- 47:27I really really do.
- 47:29First anyway, so
- 47:32Yeah, I can speak to line two cuz I live
- 47:34in an apartment but
- 47:36you know.
- 47:40Yeah, [snorts] I'm in an apartment so I
- 47:42got to keep it to line one.
- 47:45So I don't really have a good comparison
- 47:47between the two but
- 47:49I mean
- 47:51I don't think it really
- 47:54I mean I think I think just doing both
- 47:57is probably the best move.
- 48:00You know, ultimately it doesn't it
- 48:01doesn't matter if it's line one or line
- 48:03two. It just matters if
- 48:07you know, it seems like it's something
- 48:08unique.
- 48:10Yes.
- 48:13>> [snorts]
- 48:15>> And I know we have a lot of people um
- 48:18It seems like the crowd's much bigger
- 48:19than we have earlier. So, I just want to
- 48:20reiterate
- 48:22um something I said earlier about like
- 48:25decision manager. Um it's not always
- 48:28necessarily the profile.
- 48:30So, before considering like a profile
- 48:32bad, you know, I would you know
- 48:35you know, give it a couple times before
- 48:38you know, you toss it in the trash can.
- 48:40Um
- 48:42Pokemon Center looks at more than just
- 48:44the profile when checking out.
- 48:46Um there's a whole host of like
- 48:48essentially velocity metrics, you know,
- 48:51it
- 48:51that can be, you know, how many times
- 48:53has the IP tried to access, you know, or
- 48:56tried to check out in
- 48:58you know, whatever time period. You
- 49:00know, how many times has this card tried
- 49:02to check out in this time period. The
- 49:03email, you know, it can really be a wide
- 49:06range of things that, you know, are
- 49:08actually causing that decline.
- 49:11Um and this one is more just uh
- 49:14I want to say more of a hypothesis, but
- 49:17I've been running Poke Pokemon Center
- 49:18long enough to where
- 49:20I hold it to be true.
- 49:22Um
- 49:23The payment processor itself just has
- 49:25chunks of time where it's rejecting
- 49:28basically everything.
- 49:30And it has nothing to do with your
- 49:31profile. Um you guys have probably all
- 49:34noticed anecdotally that
- 49:37all noticed anecdotally that checkouts
- 49:39seem to be coming in like bunches.
- 49:41And then everything will get item demand
- 49:43for a period of time.
- 49:45And then you'll get a couple more
- 49:46checkouts randomly within, you know, 30
- 49:48seconds.
- 49:50Um I don't believe that to be some like
- 49:52random happenstance and I've been seeing
- 49:54it happen for legitimately years now.
- 49:58Um, [snorts] and you'll probably even
- 49:59notice before where you'll have a
- 50:01profile decline and then I'll check out
- 50:02later in the drop.
- 50:04So,
- 50:05it's tricky to diagnose these type of
- 50:08things.
- 50:09So, really the that's the best I can say
- 50:12there is, you know, don't always chalk
- 50:13it up to
- 50:15you know, always just the profile.
- 50:18And [snorts] that's also sometimes why
- 50:20people say resi's work better for them
- 50:22because, you know, it eliminates that
- 50:24match that velocity metric on the IP
- 50:27address itself. So,
- 50:29I think ISPs are a lot better. That's
- 50:31not an endorsement to use resi's, but
- 50:35you know, just some of the other factors
- 50:36that are in play there.
- 50:41Continuing.
- 50:42Yeah, answer CashKarty's question. I
- 50:44would say
- 50:46uh, IDs with less less digits across
- 50:48both lines are considered higher
- 50:49quality.
- 50:51Um, just because, like I said before,
- 50:54um, the less you can
- 50:56change away from the USPS's database,
- 50:59comes of how they
- 51:01um,
- 51:03it comes of what they have in their
- 51:05database, the better.
- 51:14Yeah, unique phone numbers and emails
- 51:16always one unique.
- 51:17That's a given. And I do iCloud
- 51:20and Gmail.
- 51:24Do we discuss bank bins? No, not really.
- 51:27I mean, I don't
- 51:28I don't [clears throat] know if there's
- 51:29really much to touch on with bank bins
- 51:31besides,
- 51:33um,
- 51:34some some bins, the bin is like the
- 51:38first, um, like five digits of your
- 51:40credit card number, four or five, I
- 51:41forget. I think it's five. I'd have to
- 51:43Google it.
- 51:45Um,
- 51:47uh, is what's referred to as the bin of
- 51:48your card. And some bins are just flat
- 51:52out banned. Um that's also how retailers
- 51:55can sometimes,
- 51:56you know, determine they're not going to
- 51:57allow VCCs. Like they know exactly,
- 52:00you know, what the card is.
- 52:03Um that's how your bot magically
- 52:05sometimes, when you're putting your
- 52:06credit card, it s- pops up a little Amex
- 52:08logo or Visa logo. And you're like,
- 52:10"What the [ __ ] wizardry?"
- 52:12Just knows that off the bin.
- 52:14Um so, some bins are flat out banned.
- 52:18For instance, right now, like Amex
- 52:20extend like doesn't work at all because
- 52:22all the Amex extend bins are banned.
- 52:26Probably cuz Pokémon Center um just got
- 52:29to a point where
- 52:32those cards themselves were at such a
- 52:34high fraud rate that they just said,
- 52:36"We're done with these in general."
- 52:40And really, there's no no normal people
- 52:43are not using Amex extend cards. So, I
- 52:46don't think they really cared about
- 52:47cutting out
- 52:49that.
- 52:52>> [snorts]
- 52:53>> Yep.
- 52:54I personally haven't seen what strains
- 52:55other than, you know, privacy.
- 52:58Doesn't really use other than like old
- 53:01privacy cards work super well. The new
- 53:03ones won't.
- 53:05Um
- 53:06In general, Visa gives a lot less of a
- 53:08[ __ ] about fraud.
- 53:10Yeah.
- 53:13It seems.
- 53:16Um
- 53:17It seems like Chase Ink cards don't
- 53:19work.
- 53:20At least from what I heard from somebody
- 53:22else. I'll keep experimenting with it
- 53:23cuz I only tested on one drop, but
- 53:26>> [snorts]
- 53:26>> um
- 53:27I'm what I'm curious to see if there's
- 53:29any like business credit cards
- 53:32that don't work or are always personal.
- 53:37Chase Ink.
- 53:38Capital One Eno does work.
- 53:43For all the people who think it doesn't,
- 53:44I promise you Capital One Eno works.
- 53:47Maybe the bin on your card doesn't work,
- 53:50>> [snorts]
- 53:50>> but
- 53:53they do work.
- 53:55Yep. Yeah, I think I made like a
- 53:58opened a new Quicksilver credit card
- 54:01last month in January that I
- 54:03get an Eno and it worked perfectly.
- 54:05>> [snorts]
- 54:05>> Yeah. Last drop.
- 54:08Enos are just weird. Enos are
- 54:11one of the only VCCs where they they
- 54:14seem to be finicky about the zip code.
- 54:16Now, any addresses I've ever had have
- 54:18always been in my same zip code. Um so,
- 54:21I have never really personally played
- 54:23too much around with uh shipping [ __ ] to
- 54:26other zip codes.
- 54:28But, just from everything I've ever
- 54:30heard from others, including Pokémon
- 54:33Center,
- 54:34um
- 54:35Enos get pretty picky about the zip code
- 54:37and it's best to keep it, if possible,
- 54:39to your actual zip code.
- 54:434620
- 54:444620 though.
- 54:47And then my question Yo, can we also get
- 54:50that your card number?
- 54:54I just heard someone say their CSV out
- 54:55loud. I'm just [ __ ] with them.
- 55:01You can ask your question.
- 55:03Yeah, keep keep asking questions. Um
- 55:06Look over the email, phone number.
- 55:10Different address checking
- 55:12methodologies.
- 55:15Yeah, I really think the zip the zip
- 55:17code is a big thing for people that have
- 55:19more than one address that they ship it
- 55:20to.
- 55:21Um
- 55:23like uh the question that I had earlier,
- 55:25all these uh retailers have their own
- 55:27verification.
- 55:28And I think zip code has a lot to do
- 55:30with some of them.
- 55:31Mhm. I didn't have that problem with
- 55:33Walmart.
- 55:34What's the most y'all got per address?
- 55:38Uh
- 55:38a lot.
- 55:40But that was that was the times of the
- 55:42past. I bought pallets of ETBs off
- 55:45Pokémon Center. Just this from
- 55:47many moons ago.
- 55:50You ever had a FedEx truck back up in
- 55:52your driveway? Yeah.
- 55:56Yep.
- 55:56>> One day.
- 55:57My mailman's gotten smart. They got one
- 55:59of the side door slidey vans, dude. They
- 56:00pull that [ __ ] just right up next to the
- 56:02door, and they just have my ass stand
- 56:04there. They don't even get out of their
- 56:05[ __ ] vehicle.
- 56:08It's hilarious.
- 56:12The most I got was like 12 in one
- 56:13address. That was because I was just
- 56:15capped on cards. You ever gone ass to
- 56:17ass with the UPS truck cuz you needed
- 56:19your [ __ ] in the middle of a his run?
- 56:22Six in address is the most I've gotten.
- 56:25Six. Yeah.
- 56:27I don't know. See if you're past two,
- 56:28that means you're doing something right,
- 56:30so.
- 56:31I mean, I've legitimately like within
- 56:33the last year gotten 20 plus shipped to
- 56:35an address like ETBs. It's just
- 56:39it's seemed very sporadic with cans
- 56:41lately as well.
- 56:42Like perfect order, I have 14 orders
- 56:45out.
- 56:47Will they all end up shipping? But I
- 56:48don't know.
- 56:50>> I'm scared they're going to cancel
- 56:50[snorts] them all.
- 56:52Um not really much of a question, but
- 56:54it's in regards to cancellations. One
- 56:56thing that I noticed about my stuff is
- 56:58that any of my jigged profiles will
- 57:00cancel every single one towards that
- 57:03address recently.
- 57:05Uh and then the other accounts where it
- 57:07would be like just one regular address
- 57:08is jigged or just only one checkout has
- 57:11gone to that address, they don't get
- 57:12canceled at all.
- 57:13Or even a but anytime I have like a
- 57:15jigged address, the whole the whole
- 57:17batch going to that address will get
- 57:19canceled.
- 57:20They probably have like a a a
- 57:22>> reseller database, they just press the
- 57:24switch.
- 57:27>> [laughter]
- 57:27>> That's so uh
- 57:29I have no idea. So uh my my main address
- 57:32is my home didn't get anything, but all
- 57:34the other addresses that I usually got
- 57:36one order in.
- 57:39Yeah, I can see it.
- 57:44Yeah, just keep it small, you know, rest
- 57:46the accounts and just slowly scale up
- 57:49again.
- 57:54But, I I do think, you know, a good
- 57:57practice like I was, you know, just kind
- 57:59of parlaying and Joyce said earlier is,
- 58:01you know, rotate profiles if you, you
- 58:03know, you have enough cards and stuff
- 58:05like that. And it's a little bit harder
- 58:07to rotate proxies cuz I know it's
- 58:09essentially,
- 58:10you know, costs.
- 58:12And I'm not going to sit here and
- 58:13advocate like, "Okay, go buy another 50
- 58:16proxies just so you you have, you know,
- 58:19them to rotate on Pokémon Center." You
- 58:21know,
- 58:22Um but, if you have the resources, I
- 58:24think I do think it is good practice to
- 58:27to put rotation into play.
- 58:32>> [snorts]
- 58:39>> Anybody else have any questions?
- 58:47Oh, Mystery Hero's here. I didn't even
- 58:49notice.
- 58:51I love Hero.
- 58:57>> [snorts]
- 58:57>> He's like the hidden behind the scenes
- 58:59like goat. He does a lot for us. He just
- 59:01doesn't He's not a like the active chat
- 59:04guy, but
- 59:07he is He's super important. I love this
- 59:09man.
- 59:12The goat?
- 59:13Yeah.
- 59:15I'll [snorts] try.
- 59:16Often I just have the microphone.
- 59:21But, also I think we're also at the
- 59:23point where like just profile specific
- 59:25um questions are are getting a little
- 59:27slower. So, if you guys do have other
- 59:30other questions, we're definitely here
- 59:32to help and, um, depending how long
- 59:38uh, or how slow things get, I'll stick
- 59:40around for like another hour max.
- 59:43And I will retire to my couch.
- 59:48And you guys can take off here. You guys
- 59:50can talk to like on microphones. You
- 59:52don't have to be all muted if you don't
- 59:53want. I don't really
- 59:55It's free fall or free for all now. Not
- 59:58a free fall.
- 59:59>> [snorts]
- 1:00:00>> Drugs are bad.
- 1:00:03Free falling for you? Yeah.
- 1:00:05Yes, my my life.
- 1:00:07>> on? My bad. My life in a word, free
- 1:00:09fall.
- 1:00:15Nah, life is good. I'm only joking.
- 1:00:22Anybody got any secrets?
- 1:00:27Nah, no one's mad. You wouldn't get
- 1:00:29kicked.
- 1:00:35We're having a main phone.
- 1:00:38I mean, I got to I got to check
- 1:00:39afterwards, Zenith, to see if the
- 1:00:41recording worked. I legitimately am I I
- 1:00:44just always [ __ ] it up. I just It's just
- 1:00:45how I am. I will have found a way to
- 1:00:47[ __ ] some part of it up, whether it
- 1:00:49wasn't recording that part of the screen
- 1:00:51or
- 1:00:52[ __ ] his views or his voice will be
- 1:00:54muted or
- 1:00:56Like, hopefully it's recorded. That's
- 1:00:58all I'll say. I I tried. Did I succeed?
- 1:01:02You got to record with your phone next
- 1:01:03time.
- 1:01:04Yo, low-key that would actually work.
- 1:01:06Just point my phone my
- 1:01:08my phone
- 1:01:10>> [laughter]
- 1:01:10>> Something to sit and record on your
- 1:01:12phone. Bro, I'm 39. I'm amazed that I
- 1:01:15got my microphone working right away the
- 1:01:17first time today. I was like proud of
- 1:01:18myself. Usually that takes me 20
- 1:01:20minutes, so.
- 1:01:22Good job. I'm at the
- 1:01:24Dude, I'm straight boomer with it. I
- 1:01:26usually sit there talking on
- 1:01:27speakerphone on my phone for the
- 1:01:28Discord.
- 1:01:31With the mic off?
- 1:01:32Yeah.
- 1:01:32>> [snorts]
- 1:01:32>> Proud of you, Kenny.
- 1:01:34I dude, I was really proud of myself.
- 1:01:36I'm not going to lie.
- 1:01:38If this recorded properly, like this is
- 1:01:40a monumental achievement. I've been
- 1:01:41trying to do this for years, and I I
- 1:01:43don't think I've been successful once.
- 1:01:46Like we could be making history.
- 1:01:51Amex employee cards? No, just use all
- 1:01:52your real information over and over and
- 1:01:54over and over and over and over again
- 1:01:56because it needs a real social security
- 1:01:58and social which needs to match a real
- 1:02:00human's name.
- 1:02:01And you can't just use random social
- 1:02:02security numbers cuz that would
- 1:02:04definitely be some form of fraud.
- 1:02:06That's fraud.
- 1:02:07No, that's that's actually [laughter]
- 1:02:08fraud. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:10Yeah, like that's a capital F fraud. So,
- 1:02:13um
- 1:02:14you just use your real info over and
- 1:02:16over. Amex doesn't doesn't really care.
- 1:02:23I You can make 99 of them.
- 1:02:36So, hey, uh quick question. I got to go
- 1:02:38soon, but
- 1:02:39So, if you get the actual checkout, do
- 1:02:41you get canceled after? Like does that
- 1:02:43mean
- 1:02:45your profile's good?
- 1:02:47Cuz it got through decision manager or
- 1:02:50Yeah, I would say yeah.
- 1:02:52Bro, they cancel normal people like
- 1:02:54that go on the site just the one time
- 1:02:57like and they're only buying that with
- 1:02:59their normal cards. Like my normal like
- 1:03:01normie friend people, like they get
- 1:03:03canceled.
- 1:03:04Okay, [snorts] cool.
- 1:03:06>> [clears throat]
- 1:03:06>> And they're not doing anything like sus,
- 1:03:09so it's really
- 1:03:12it's really hard to say.
- 1:03:14I don't know why they do it besides that
- 1:03:15they're hoes.
- 1:03:17I feel like I get canceled more on
- 1:03:19pre-orders than I do like the restocks.
- 1:03:22I don't know.
- 1:03:24Restocks I feel like more things stick
- 1:03:26than like pre-orders for me at least.
- 1:03:28I'd agree.
- 1:03:34I think
- 1:03:36um
- 1:03:38interesting.
- 1:03:40Nice. Um I think the
- 1:03:44like they're I think they're easier on
- 1:03:46profiles during pre-orders. I I know a
- 1:03:49lot of people think the opposite.
- 1:03:52Um so maybe it's just all in our head
- 1:03:53what's actually working better.
- 1:03:56But
- 1:03:58>> [snorts]
- 1:03:58>> I don't know. But yeah, you are you are
- 1:04:00right with the actual like it's
- 1:04:02sticking.
- 1:04:03>> right now.
- 1:04:04They
- 1:04:05they rarely like rarely rarely rarely
- 1:04:07are canceling I can't even recall them
- 1:04:10canceling
- 1:04:12>> canceling
- 1:04:13>> to have to ask her.
- 1:04:14Yeah. Speak I'm buying from. Shut up.
- 1:04:19Um I can't remember them canceling like
- 1:04:22non pre-orders like they did with that
- 1:04:24bundle [ __ ] before. I just really can't.
- 1:04:26>> Mhm.
- 1:04:28>> [snorts]
- 1:04:34>> Yeah, it's hard for me to say what works
- 1:04:36for me and not cuz
- 1:04:39like the Ascent of Heroes I hit like a
- 1:04:40lot, but all of them got canceled except
- 1:04:43one. But it was kind of late the
- 1:04:46cancellations.
- 1:04:47And then I hit on restocks for like the
- 1:04:50Surging Sparks and like the most recent
- 1:04:53one.
- 1:04:54And a bunch of them stuck, so
- 1:04:56hard to say for me at least.
- 1:05:00Yeah, it seems the general consensus is
- 1:05:02it never makes any sense for anyone.
- 1:05:06That's what I hate about like trying to
- 1:05:07help. That's why that you know, I'm very
- 1:05:09thankful Noah I'll this on cuz it's very
- 1:05:11helpful just to
- 1:05:13to talk it out in in general and
- 1:05:15>> Somebody had this experience, yeah. Mhm,
- 1:05:18because there isn't
- 1:05:19I mean, I know [clears throat] it's
- 1:05:20frustrating I know I've talked to a lot
- 1:05:21of you if not most of you like in
- 1:05:23regards to profiles. I know it's
- 1:05:24frustrating sometimes to
- 1:05:27you know, not be able to get concrete
- 1:05:28advice.
- 1:05:30Um
- 1:05:31but yeah, really just have my
- 1:05:32experiences and what I've always worked
- 1:05:34for me.
- 1:05:35Yeah. [snorts]
- 1:05:38Just what I've been going through
- 1:05:39recently with my cards.
- 1:05:42Not for Pokémon Center but for like
- 1:05:43Target or Walmart.
- 1:05:45If I'm getting item demanded or
- 1:05:46canceled, I would go manually
- 1:05:49and go through those cards manually and
- 1:05:51try to see
- 1:05:52if I could check something out that's in
- 1:05:53stock. Mhm. Like a Donruss and if I'm
- 1:05:56getting errors from there, it's kind of
- 1:05:57like a process of elimination.
- 1:05:59Figure out
- 1:06:00what to change to make it actually go
- 1:06:02through. Target's pretty similar in
- 1:06:03regards to Pokémon Center, by the way. I
- 1:06:06would say if you guys are struggling
- 1:06:07with Target, I would take the exact same
- 1:06:10um
- 1:06:10approach.
- 1:06:12Uh just a brief little on Target.
- 1:06:13There's basically two two approaches I'd
- 1:06:16suggest.
- 1:06:17You can find two or three, you know,
- 1:06:19maybe up to like five or so profiles
- 1:06:21that are working good, you know, that
- 1:06:23are basically unjigged.
- 1:06:25Um
- 1:06:27and just, you know, accept that, which
- 1:06:28for most people is fine.
- 1:06:30Or you can try more of a brute for
- 1:06:33brute force approach with all sorts of
- 1:06:36jigs.
- 1:06:38Um and what I've found usually works the
- 1:06:41best there is, you know, just having
- 1:06:43like three three letters at the end,
- 1:06:45which is basically like having an
- 1:06:46apartment number.
- 1:06:48Um
- 1:06:50I prefer the second, more of the brute
- 1:06:52force approach because of how Target
- 1:06:55rate limits the actual checkout itself.
- 1:06:59Um the brute force approach is just
- 1:07:01giving more more of a check, more of a
- 1:07:03chance of getting an actual checkout.
- 1:07:06Um
- 1:07:07just seems to get a lot of eye demands
- 1:07:09and resellers doing that versus you
- 1:07:13know, a more
- 1:07:14if you actually get the check out it
- 1:07:16sticks approach, which is like approach
- 1:07:18one. So,
- 1:07:20positive and negatives to both
- 1:07:22approaches.
- 1:07:23Pick your poison. If you don't if you
- 1:07:25have a smaller setup like less proxies,
- 1:07:28um,
- 1:07:30first setup may probably be better. I
- 1:07:33feel like Target's a site that a lot of
- 1:07:35people overrun.
- 1:07:37Um, and they kind of are just cooking
- 1:07:39their setup and don't have much of a
- 1:07:41chance before it even begins.
- 1:07:43Mhm.
- 1:07:53What would you say is like a safe amount
- 1:07:55of Well, not safe, [clears throat] but a
- 1:07:58good amount of profiles to start off
- 1:07:59with running Target?
- 1:08:02I mean, I would honestly probably just
- 1:08:04make like three to five. I mean, it it
- 1:08:06really depends on
- 1:08:09how how many proxies you have is
- 1:08:10probably going to be my my real question
- 1:08:13cuz I don't think Target is worth
- 1:08:15framing your expenses around.
- 1:08:17So, like
- 1:08:19how many how many proxies do you have?
- 1:08:22>> [snorts]
- 1:08:23>> I got 100 ISPs.
- 1:08:25I probably would run like 10 10 profiles
- 1:08:27max.
- 1:08:29Um, dedicate the rest to your
- 1:08:32and I would probably use like 20 25 for
- 1:08:34my check out proxies.
- 1:08:37Then I would split the rest of it off
- 1:08:39into harvesters.
- 1:08:42Okay.
- 1:08:45And that way, you know, you're not
- 1:08:46really beating those proxies up um,
- 1:08:50too much.
- 1:08:52That way when it comes time you need the
- 1:08:53cookies, the cookies have a better
- 1:08:55chance of uh, being valid.
- 1:08:57I also think when it comes to cookies,
- 1:09:00um, they if your cookies are good
- 1:09:03they last a lot longer.
- 1:09:06Um
- 1:09:08so if you're if you're farming slower
- 1:09:11aka like you're running less accounts
- 1:09:14and you have a healthier um proxy ratio
- 1:09:17to rotate through
- 1:09:20you can set your cookie expiration
- 1:09:22higher. Like I have my cookie expiration
- 1:09:24at like 10 minutes, 12 minutes and
- 1:09:25they're they works perfectly fine.
- 1:09:29Um
- 1:09:30How many accounts are you running?
- 1:09:32Me I run like I mean this is going to
- 1:09:35sound crazy. I mean I run 15 accounts
- 1:09:37but I have and I have two subnets so I
- 1:09:39mean
- 1:09:40I just don't have a need to really run
- 1:09:42run more than that. I could run 50 on a
- 1:09:44drop and
- 1:09:46you know, have the resources to have the
- 1:09:47cookies for it. I just
- 1:09:49Target is not a site I put a lot of
- 1:09:51effort into. My address is so [ __ ]
- 1:09:53fried on Target at this point.
- 1:09:57Um, I have a hard time finding anything
- 1:09:58that really works anymore out there for
- 1:10:00me.
- 1:10:02I've been running Target for like a
- 1:10:03decade like since KSR beta days. Like I
- 1:10:06have raped Target over the last decade.
- 1:10:09>> cook your address? Yeah, like I've I've
- 1:10:12raped [clears throat] Target.
- 1:10:14So
- 1:10:16Target's not a site I care too much more
- 1:10:17personally about anymore.
- 1:10:19But very similar approach to Pokemon
- 1:10:21Center.
- 1:10:22>> [snorts]
- 1:10:24>> And Walmart is generally like a free for
- 1:10:26all? Yeah.
- 1:10:28Wal-Wal-Walmart
- 1:10:29>> Walmart is in there.
- 1:10:30Yeah, Walmart like very simple jigs like
- 1:10:32work there. Like you really like two
- 1:10:34three letter like
- 1:10:35it's just way more on um
- 1:10:38but like the actual account itself just
- 1:10:40being
- 1:10:41Yeah. Okay. Combination of age and
- 1:10:45order history not even necessarily
- 1:10:47sticks like cancels. That's why I say
- 1:10:48like
- 1:10:50just run for [ __ ] when you got
- 1:10:51shitty accounts. Like you can always
- 1:10:52just cancel it or try and break even on
- 1:10:54it. It's still like doing you good in
- 1:10:56the long run, so that
- 1:10:58you know, you have drop or you have good
- 1:11:00stuff. Like I think people right now are
- 1:11:03probably making the mistake of
- 1:11:05um
- 1:11:07not making accounts, you know, for the
- 1:11:09future cuz they're looking at like,
- 1:11:10"Okay, perfect order sucks. Like I don't
- 1:11:12need accounts right now for perfect
- 1:11:14order."
- 1:11:15Uh the next set Chaos Rising, like,
- 1:11:17"Okay, that's not supposed to be a
- 1:11:18banger. Like I don't need to make
- 1:11:19accounts for that." I I think a lot of
- 1:11:21people are putting that mindset in their
- 1:11:22head versus like "Okay, I can make them
- 1:11:25now and that gives me, you know, drops
- 1:11:27to be ready for because guess what we're
- 1:11:29going to have in the fall?"
- 1:11:32We're going to have the 30th anniversary
- 1:11:33set. So, you need to have in your head
- 1:11:36right now of like "Okay, so the next two
- 1:11:39sets may not be the greatest. They may
- 1:11:41not print money, but I need to scale now
- 1:11:44on Walmart so that my [ __ ] is good for
- 1:11:47when it matters."
- 1:11:49Because there's going to be a lot of
- 1:11:50people who wait until like, "Oh [ __ ]
- 1:11:53the set just got announced." And then
- 1:11:55we're 30 days out and you can't do [ __ ]
- 1:11:57all [ __ ] all about [ __ ] all besides
- 1:12:00fumble yourself.
- 1:12:01So,
- 1:12:05that's kind of and maybe I should make a
- 1:12:07post um on that pretty soon and let me
- 1:12:09make Let me find a [ __ ] sticky note
- 1:12:12um [snorts] to make some general
- 1:12:14announcement about that cuz I think
- 1:12:15people should kind of have that that
- 1:12:17thought on Walmart right now of
- 1:12:20of looking ahead 6 months and where do
- 1:12:22they want their setup to be in 6 months,
- 1:12:24not necessarily where do they want it to
- 1:12:25be now.
- 1:12:27So, food for thought for the people in
- 1:12:30here.
- 1:12:31Hey brother, I
- 1:12:32I know I know you probably already
- 1:12:33answered this, but just to double check,
- 1:12:36is this going to be recorded in case we
- 1:12:37miss some parts?
- 1:12:38Yeah, I mean, I'm trying, but I manage
- 1:12:40to always [ __ ] up, so we'll see if I I
- 1:12:41tried. We'll see if I succeeded. You did
- 1:12:44I appreciate you trying. Thank you.
- 1:12:46>> [laughter]
- 1:12:47>> Yeah.
- 1:12:49Yeah, if any if any questions, you can
- 1:12:51open a ticket or DM me.
- 1:12:53Actually, preferably open a ticket, but
- 1:12:56Yeah, we're happy to help through
- 1:12:57tickets. The big big here thing was like
- 1:12:59there there there was like 20 tickets
- 1:13:01like open at once, and I'm sure he's
- 1:13:02getting DMs and [ __ ] too. I just didn't
- 1:13:04want to make his life miserable. He's
- 1:13:05like, "I just started. I don't I What
- 1:13:07did I sign up for?" He didn't actually
- 1:13:08say that, but
- 1:13:10I just figured this would be a lot more
- 1:13:11effective, and like I said, like
- 1:13:14I'm sure people learn a lot more in this
- 1:13:16than they would have just like on an
- 1:13:17individual ticket.
- 1:13:20Yeah, it's a lot more efficient, so
- 1:13:23Yeah. I'm going to drop in news, but
- 1:13:25thank you all for attending, and feel
- 1:13:28free to reach out if you have any
- 1:13:29questions. Yeah, heck yeah. Thank you so
- 1:13:31much for your time, Mr. Noah. Um
- 1:13:34Yeah, thank you so much.
- 1:13:36Yeah, those two law those address
- 1:13:38validations are really good. Thank you
- 1:13:39for that.
- 1:13:40Awesome.
- 1:13:43Uh I'll stick around for
- 1:13:45you know, another 45 minutes, you know,
- 1:13:47max, if there's any more questions,
- 1:13:49unless people stop asking questions.
- 1:13:51>> [snorts]
- 1:13:52>> Um then I'll hop out.
- 1:13:55But I'm happy to really answer just
- 1:13:56about anything. Could be what do you I
- 1:13:58think about X and Y Z set. Really
- 1:14:01anything.
- 1:14:09A little about like um
- 1:14:12running
- 1:14:13like what you run on, like you posted
- 1:14:15some link, I think, about like a like a
- 1:14:17bare metal server or something.
- 1:14:20Uh
- 1:14:21tell all that works.
- 1:14:24Uh you
- 1:14:26you're talking Hold on 1 second. It's
- 1:14:30I'm just clarifying something with Noah.
- 1:14:32I need to clarify this real quick.
- 1:14:35For sure.
- 1:14:36Uh
- 1:14:40Sorry, I got a very like one-track mind,
- 1:14:42and I'll [ __ ]
- 1:14:44forget if I don't.
- 1:14:46Okay, what was your question regards to
- 1:14:47uh just in general like bare metal
- 1:14:49versus
- 1:14:52We're talking about latency. You had put
- 1:14:54a post up I think there's someone did
- 1:14:56Oh, okay.
- 1:14:57>> or so ago.
- 1:14:59So, you're just wondering like bare
- 1:15:00metal versus VPS or bare metal versus
- 1:15:04like home or just like the general
- 1:15:06thing?
- 1:15:07>> [snorts]
- 1:15:08>> Yeah, I guess basically just like the
- 1:15:09general thing like I get latency in that
- 1:15:12whole thing. You know, you turn that off
- 1:15:17but like kind of what you're running and
- 1:15:18like
- 1:15:19why it's
- 1:15:21it's better not to perhaps run different
- 1:15:23way.
- 1:15:24I mean, I'm I'm running
- 1:15:26on a bare metal
- 1:15:29just because that's optimal.
- 1:15:32>> [snorts]
- 1:15:32>> I mean, there's just no reason for me
- 1:15:33not to and also I mean, it's it's comp
- 1:15:36for me. Like it's free for me. So,
- 1:15:37there's really no reason for me not to.
- 1:15:40But even if I had to pay for it, I would
- 1:15:42because Walmart I think is a site that
- 1:15:45is worth framing. Um
- 1:15:47cost around because it's really the
- 1:15:51the last bastion of
- 1:15:52>> [snorts]
- 1:15:52>> of of hope where we can really really
- 1:15:55get bulk. You know, I guess unless
- 1:15:57you're counting something like a Costco
- 1:15:59or a Sam's, but it's really the last
- 1:16:00place you know, you can really get
- 1:16:03bulk.
- 1:16:05You know, 75% of my money last year was
- 1:16:07probably made on Walmart. So,
- 1:16:09it makes no sense for me to really frame
- 1:16:12cost around anything else.
- 1:16:14Um
- 1:16:15and with the queue being first come
- 1:16:17first serve
- 1:16:18uh
- 1:16:20you know, every every little bit
- 1:16:22uh counts.
- 1:16:24It's kind of where where I stand on it.
- 1:16:26I don't
- 1:16:28I I don't think
- 1:16:31you know, if if I'm
- 1:16:33if you're willing to put 3 400 dollars
- 1:16:36into accounts, you know, making Walmart
- 1:16:38accounts and proxy costs and bot costs
- 1:16:40and your time and your effort.
- 1:16:42Um you know, the extra 60 bucks, you
- 1:16:45know, for a VPS server or probably even
- 1:16:47cheaper than that, um I think is well
- 1:16:50worth it. And then, you know, definitely
- 1:16:52if you start getting anywhere near like
- 1:16:531,000 accounts, if you're already
- 1:16:54running at that scale,
- 1:16:57um
- 1:16:58you know, the 120 140 whatever a month
- 1:17:01for a bare metal, I think,
- 1:17:03um becomes worth it.
- 1:17:06Because [clears throat] even if it makes
- 1:17:07a difference in like one checkout,
- 1:17:10the profit on one checkout of ETBs is
- 1:17:12like what? 200 bucks?
- 1:17:13So,
- 1:17:15I just kind of run, you know, those
- 1:17:17those simple thoughts in my head of
- 1:17:18like, okay, like to pay itself off, like
- 1:17:21what is it going to take? And how
- 1:17:23realistic is it?
- 1:17:26So, I think it makes a big difference.
- 1:17:28And so, so you just upload like your
- 1:17:31basically to it?
- 1:17:32Upload my what to it? Sorry, you broke
- 1:17:34up a little bit.
- 1:17:36Like that that your your task basically
- 1:17:39they just get uploaded and like run off
- 1:17:41of
- 1:17:43I mean, a server is a server.
- 1:17:45>> server elsewhere?
- 1:17:47Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's a a bare metal
- 1:17:49server is it's a real machine. It's just
- 1:17:51sitting in a data rack. And I just
- 1:17:52connect to it through um a program
- 1:17:54called Remote Desktop Protocol.
- 1:17:57It's just up on another monitor. It's
- 1:17:59just like having another computer within
- 1:18:00a computer.
- 1:18:04But it [snorts] functions the same way
- 1:18:05as your home computer does. You just
- 1:18:06install things. It runs Windows and
- 1:18:10and all of that.
- 1:18:12Now, your setup is that the most ideal
- 1:18:15setup for a very like for a scaled-up
- 1:18:17operation?
- 1:18:20Um
- 1:18:21I mean, probably the only place I could
- 1:18:23do better and it's something I've
- 1:18:24experiment been experimenting with
- 1:18:26um
- 1:18:27lately
- 1:18:29is is less tasks per bot.
- 1:18:33Because I think even though it's not
- 1:18:36uh necessarily
- 1:18:39a bottleneck
- 1:18:41um in terms of like can my computer or
- 1:18:43my network handle it?
- 1:18:46I simply think having
- 1:18:48um 2,000 tasks versus 1,000 tasks trying
- 1:18:51to simultaneously
- 1:18:53enter queue and just whatever happens on
- 1:18:56the bot side of it.
- 1:18:58Mhm. Um
- 1:18:59I I've just been noticing that my
- 1:19:02I I've been playing around on drops. I
- 1:19:03didn't necessarily care if I hit, but
- 1:19:05people are still going to be running um
- 1:19:07hard.
- 1:19:08Right. And I I noticed that I was
- 1:19:10getting better queue times when I was
- 1:19:12running um
- 1:19:14less tasks.
- 1:19:15So, I think if there's one area that um
- 1:19:19I would invest in myself
- 1:19:21um I normally run like about yeah,
- 1:19:24anywhere from 2,000 to the 2,500 tasks
- 1:19:27on
- 1:19:28uh a copy of Refract for Walmart.
- 1:19:30Um
- 1:19:31I would probably split that between um
- 1:19:33two servers and second instance of
- 1:19:35Refract or you know, Inda Hidden or you
- 1:19:38know, whatever other Walmart bot.
- 1:19:41Um so, that's probably the one
- 1:19:43one thing I would consider, but
- 1:19:45you know, that's a $200 investment, but
- 1:19:48running that back of my head
- 1:19:50you know, if we have another Ascended
- 1:19:52Heroes ETB drop coming up, you know, I
- 1:19:54think I would make that investment for a
- 1:19:57month. And then, you know, on down
- 1:19:58months, I wouldn't necessarily care. I
- 1:20:00could probably just run less tasks. At
- 1:20:01the end of the day like 1,000 tasks is
- 1:20:03probably plenty.
- 1:20:05>> [snorts]
- 1:20:07>> It is plenty.
- 1:20:11I'm definitely running overkill with
- 1:20:122,000. Don't think you guys need to be
- 1:20:13running 2,000 and [ __ ]
- 1:20:16Accounts used to be free. A lot of us
- 1:20:18just have old free accounts.
- 1:20:21What year did y'all say that uh privacy
- 1:20:23cards were working? I just found a bunch
- 1:20:26of Visas
- 1:20:27with no transactions on them.
- 1:20:31>> [snorts]
- 1:20:34>> I think some of my accounts
- 1:20:36Someone mentioned that all the old ones
- 1:20:38just work. They were just saying old
- 1:20:39ones in general. Yeah, they said they
- 1:20:41said
- 1:20:43Yeah, they said I think they heard them
- 1:20:44say like 2020. I found some with uh
- 1:20:48uh 2026 expiration dates. That's why.
- 1:20:51But I got [snorts] I got a decent amount
- 1:20:52of them that are that should be good to
- 1:20:54go.
- 1:21:07As far as scaling like Walmart, that's
- 1:21:09like a numbers game as far as like
- 1:21:11accounts and everything, right? Like
- 1:21:13Mhm.
- 1:21:15Okay. So
- 1:21:20>> [snorts]
- 1:21:20>> And you said all in use when when you're
- 1:21:22running your 2,000 tasks, you're using
- 1:21:25uh multiple tasks per profile or account
- 1:21:27or No. No.
- 1:21:30You don't want someone?
- 1:21:32Yeah, I mean I have enough enough
- 1:21:33accounts. I don't really need to.
- 1:21:36>> [snorts]
- 1:21:38>> If I did, I would want to probably split
- 1:21:39it up. I definitely don't want to be
- 1:21:40running more than like 2,500 tasks on an
- 1:21:42instance. I think it's Right. Okay. It's
- 1:21:44definitely pushing it on stability.
- 1:21:51Yeah, I'm in the process of scaling up.
- 1:21:53I have like 500 hard cards and just
- 1:21:55getting BCCs up. So Less can be more. A
- 1:21:58lot of people
- 1:22:00don't see it till it's too late, but
- 1:22:02less can be more.
- 1:22:03Yeah.
- 1:22:04So that's why I'm experimenting. You
- 1:22:06know, I think I I might even just cap it
- 1:22:08around 1,000 1,200. I know Kirks has
- 1:22:10been playing around the same thing and
- 1:22:11he feels very similar on
- 1:22:14the task count.
- 1:22:18But that's a hard one cuz it's it's
- 1:22:21it's I don't want to I mean it's
- 1:22:23hypothetical with
- 1:22:25It's uh it's just hypothetical.
- 1:22:27Um
- 1:22:28and I feel like that's a weird
- 1:22:29suggestion to to give people like run
- 1:22:32less
- 1:22:33when I don't know I don't know what's
- 1:22:36better.
- 1:22:37I see what you're saying in theory, but
- 1:22:38it's just like if you're able to spread
- 1:22:40it out
- 1:22:41evenly and kind of not like
- 1:22:43not have the load on one place and just
- 1:22:45spread it out.
- 1:22:48Really just a numbers game, right?
- 1:22:50Mhm. Yeah.
- 1:22:53But I mean I I think if you like if you
- 1:22:55got a a a solid setup like
- 1:22:59I have, you know,
- 1:23:01between like 30 and 40K, you know,
- 1:23:04credit limit usually on a drop that I'm
- 1:23:06willing to commit to it.
- 1:23:08Um
- 1:23:09and
- 1:23:11if when my Walmart setup is in its I'll
- 1:23:15call it normal state, which is doing
- 1:23:17good, which is good.
- 1:23:19Um I'm generally generally do well on
- 1:23:21Walmart.
- 1:23:22I'm
- 1:23:24I'm usually cutting drops off like 5 to
- 1:23:2610 minutes into a drop cuz I've already
- 1:23:27smoked my credit limit. Like
- 1:23:30so I don't need, you know, 2,000
- 1:23:32accounts. I could probably be running
- 1:23:33500 and, you know, max all that [ __ ]
- 1:23:35out, you know, I
- 1:23:37just would take longer.
- 1:23:39So then it just comes down to credit
- 1:23:40limit. Yeah, so I don't think you need
- 1:23:43like thousands of accounts to be
- 1:23:44successful is ultimately what I'm
- 1:23:46saying.
- 1:23:48Like a couple hundred, you know.
- 1:23:50[clears throat]
- 1:23:51I I like 500 is is is solid. I would say
- 1:23:551,000 is is a hefty setup. Like 1,000
- 1:23:58once you got 1,000 reliable accounts
- 1:24:00like
- 1:24:03like that's that's absolutely plenty for
- 1:24:05most people.
- 1:24:06>> [snorts]
- 1:24:09>> Then it just comes down to like, you
- 1:24:10know, does it make more sense for, you
- 1:24:11know, your credit limit?
- 1:24:13You know, how much money can you
- 1:24:14actually spend?
- 1:24:16Also got to be careful with
- 1:24:17overspending. The last thing you want is
- 1:24:18an Amex hard review.
- 1:24:21Boy, they'll to [ __ ] obliterate your
- 1:24:23credit limit.
- 1:24:26Someone just DM'd me like 3 days ago,
- 1:24:28"Have you ever gotten a financial
- 1:24:30review?" And I just smiled like,
- 1:24:32Dog, I am hard stuck to a $4,000 credit
- 1:24:35limit. I still run that [ __ ] up, too. I
- 1:24:37still run that [ __ ] up to eight because
- 1:24:39chances are majority of those things are
- 1:24:41cans anyways. So, Yeah, and they'll let
- 1:24:43you.
- 1:24:44They're just like, "You're naughty. You
- 1:24:45need to stop."
- 1:24:48Or or then they hit you with the second
- 1:24:50financial review and you're like, "Bro,
- 1:24:51what the fuck?"
- 1:24:53Yeah.
- 1:24:54Yeah, no.
- 1:24:57Rip my [ __ ] plum, bro. My plum was
- 1:24:59goated as [ __ ] Yeah, me, too.
- 1:25:02Yeah, not my
- 1:25:02>> My [ __ ] so painful. Thanks so much.
- 1:25:06Yeah.
- 1:25:09It be like that.
- 1:25:10>> The thing that got me The thing that got
- 1:25:11me was a [ __ ] Walmart Plus renewal
- 1:25:14charge.
- 1:25:16That's what killed me.
- 1:25:17The one thing that That's what triggered
- 1:25:19the uh the financial review cuz it was
- 1:25:21the one last transaction I needed.
- 1:25:24Everything was supposed to fall off a
- 1:25:26day later. Walmart decided to renew
- 1:25:27right now.
- 1:25:29[ __ ] me.
- 1:25:32>> [snorts]
- 1:25:32>> But,
- 1:25:34Hey, any's?
- 1:25:35What's up?
- 1:25:37Um for the servers, how many tasks like
- 1:25:40if I have 500 accounts, um what size
- 1:25:43server would you recommend getting
- 1:25:45on Walmart?
- 1:25:46>> You don't need nothing powerful.
- 1:25:50You can get away with probably whatever
- 1:25:51the small one is. What's the small one?
- 1:25:53>> Okay.
- 1:25:54I think it's 8 by 32.
- 1:25:57Oh, yeah. You can get by Yeah, you're
- 1:25:58fine.
- 1:26:00What What do you think the limit is for
- 1:26:02a server that size?
- 1:26:04I mean, you could probably run 1,000 no
- 1:26:06problem. I mean, you you could You could
- 1:26:08probably, you know, make refracts in
- 1:26:11unstable before you, you know, you're
- 1:26:13maxing out any sort of Walmart tasks.
- 1:26:16Um okay.
- 1:26:17Something like uh
- 1:26:19Target's going to be heavier just
- 1:26:21because of like Harvesters and [ __ ] but
- 1:26:25Um, all right, cool.
- 1:26:27Thank you.
- 1:26:28>> Are you talking like Are you talking
- 1:26:29just running Walmart? Like that's the
- 1:26:31thing. Are you talking just one Are you
- 1:26:33only going to be running Walmart?
- 1:26:35>> Yeah, if it's just Walmart, like that's
- 1:26:37plenty. If you're going to be running
- 1:26:38like multiple bots, um you know, or if
- 1:26:42you're going to be doing something a
- 1:26:43little more intensive like Target
- 1:26:46I I think it would probably be better to
- 1:26:48have something
- 1:26:49you know, maybe a tier up, but
- 1:26:52you should be fine. I have the middle
- 1:26:53tier and I run um
- 1:26:56um refracts, Stellar, and Hidden like
- 1:26:59all at the same time.
- 1:27:01>> [snorts]
- 1:27:02>> Okay, cool.
- 1:27:03>> Never Never have issues.
- 1:27:05Also, randomly in my head, too, I think
- 1:27:08a lot of people never restart their
- 1:27:09[ __ ] servers.
- 1:27:11Um occasionally restart your [ __ ] Like
- 1:27:14yeah. Y'all need to do that. At least
- 1:27:16once a month. I always do it before a
- 1:27:18big drop. Um
- 1:27:21restart your [ __ ]
- 1:27:23It'd be like if you left your computer
- 1:27:24on for months. Like you probably notice
- 1:27:26your computer starts to get sluggish if
- 1:27:28you were leave it on for a couple days.
- 1:27:30Imagine leave And they are designed to
- 1:27:32be on forever.
- 1:27:33But still
- 1:27:36you'll do your
- 1:27:36>> thing you want is your computer is your
- 1:27:38server to crash mid drop. It happened It
- 1:27:40happened on a Pokémon Center ascended
- 1:27:42hero restock. Yeah, that's the last
- 1:27:44thing you [ __ ] want. Your [ __ ] will
- 1:27:45it'll just run a lot smoother.
- 1:27:49So, occasionally restart your [ __ ]
- 1:27:57Uh any more questions
- 1:27:59from the homies?
- 1:28:06I got I got one more.
- 1:28:09Yeah, what's up, man?
- 1:28:09>> Um
- 1:28:11I'm kind of
- 1:28:12I don't really know too too much about
- 1:28:13computers, but if you get a server, does
- 1:28:15that kind of remove the need to upgrade
- 1:28:19your PC if your PC is like a bottleneck?
- 1:28:22Yes.
- 1:28:22>> Like if it
- 1:28:24Okay.
- 1:28:25All right, cool.
- 1:28:26Yes, I used to run I used to run back in
- 1:28:29[ __ ] um the sneaker days, I used to
- 1:28:31run uh on a Mac. I used to run on like a
- 1:28:34[ __ ] 2000 2015 Mac.
- 1:28:37And the server a server basically just
- 1:28:40eliminates any need to like actually
- 1:28:41upgrade your PC. It's basically if you
- 1:28:43want to run stuff like Target, you know,
- 1:28:46where you
- 1:28:48kind of need to have it running on a on
- 1:28:50your local. Bare metal works fine for
- 1:28:52Target. Bare metal works perfectly. Yes.
- 1:28:54>> Oh my gosh. Thank you.
- 1:28:57Ooh.
- 1:28:59I'm running my I'm running I'm running
- 1:29:00my iPhone. That [ __ ] That shit's
- 1:29:02battery's draining.
- 1:29:04Um
- 1:29:05you can think of it like this, like
- 1:29:07you're It's like you're watching a
- 1:29:08streamer play video games on his PC,
- 1:29:10like it's just streaming the image to
- 1:29:13you. Like the actual computer is sitting
- 1:29:15in the data center, like doing all the
- 1:29:17processing, like that's doing the actual
- 1:29:21heavy lifting.
- 1:29:22The only The only thing that would make
- 1:29:24like a a server experience negative is
- 1:29:27would be like your internet connection
- 1:29:28cuz it's it needs to maintain that
- 1:29:29connection and constantly be getting,
- 1:29:31you know,
- 1:29:32that streaming video. Which the the
- 1:29:35negatives there would be like maybe a
- 1:29:37laggy input, you know, from your mouse
- 1:29:39or
- 1:29:40you know, that's that's really
- 1:29:42the negatives you would see on your end.
- 1:29:45>> [snorts]
- 1:29:46>> Well, thanks. Yep.
- 1:29:48So, why is there less less latency
- 1:29:51than rather running it local?
- 1:29:54Is it just the way they got it set up?
- 1:29:56Cuz that [ __ ] is sitting in a [ __ ]
- 1:29:58data center plugged into the
- 1:30:01>> Got you. like where the servers are.
- 1:30:03Like your
- 1:30:04your server ping is your ping to like
- 1:30:08Walmart and Amazon and [ __ ] like that is
- 1:30:10going to literally be like zero
- 1:30:12milliseconds.
- 1:30:14Like if I were to test my ping on my
- 1:30:15server to Amazon, it's zero [ __ ]
- 1:30:17milliseconds cuz that's where like the
- 1:30:19AWS servers are.
- 1:30:21Um Virginia is like where a lot of the
- 1:30:25country's like
- 1:30:27um
- 1:30:28servers are. So
- 1:30:30It's like why headphones and trading
- 1:30:32firms they have their data centers right
- 1:30:34next to the Yep.
- 1:30:36And so they could basically put their
- 1:30:37trades in without delay. No no pings.
- 1:30:41Yep.
- 1:30:42So is New York or Virginia better for
- 1:30:44Walmart then? Would it be Virginia?
- 1:30:47I believe it's Virginia.
- 1:30:48Everyone's on Virginia.
- 1:30:50I'm on Virginia. My ping is great.
- 1:30:55Everybody want to be on Virginia.
- 1:30:58Thank you so much. Appreciate you
- 1:31:00answering all my questions and all the
- 1:31:01info, dude. You're the best.
- 1:31:03Of course, homie. It's a team effort.
- 1:31:05I'm just a part.
- 1:31:05>> I'll send you the invoice later.
- 1:31:08>> [laughter]
- 1:31:09>> He thinks I'm lying.
- 1:31:11But yeah, anytime you guys need Let me
- 1:31:12hit those drops, man, and then we'll
- 1:31:14talk.

- 1:31:17right?
- 1:31:18Later, G.
- 1:31:19Peace.
- 1:31:20Thank you.
- 1:31:24Yo Kenny, so do you get cans on your
- 1:31:26on PKC or not? Cuz that's what I'm
- 1:31:28that's what I'm having issues with where
- 1:31:30my my checkout will go through, but
- 1:31:32when it comes time to ship
- 1:31:34Yeah, it's the
- 1:31:35>> address a whole address depending on how
- 1:31:38on if there's jigs on the
- 1:31:40on the whole thing cuz even the address
- 1:31:42without the jig will start getting
- 1:31:43canned. Yeah, it's the
- 1:31:44>> That's what I'm having issues with.
- 1:31:45Yeah, I lost all my Senate Heroes and
- 1:31:47then it seems like you know some drops
- 1:31:49will be perfectly fine and then some
- 1:31:51I'll just get completely host.
- 1:31:55I don't really know what to make about
- 1:31:56it. Let me just be honest. realize that
- 1:31:59y'all you and you and Craig's during
- 1:32:01journey together also had a bunch of
- 1:32:02your [ __ ] canned, too. Mhm. Yeah, it's
- 1:32:05happened to me a couple times.
- 1:32:06>> That's That's Okay, that's probably what
- 1:32:08it is cuz for Ascended Heroes
- 1:32:11for Ascended Heroes, all of my stuff
- 1:32:12shipped, but I only got one checkout per
- 1:32:14address that I was using with the
- 1:32:15exception of a few that just didn't go
- 1:32:17through at all. It was a decision
- 1:32:19manager.
- 1:32:20But for restocks, like for restocks, um
- 1:32:23Pokémon Day restock, a lot of people got
- 1:32:25canned. People were saying that it was
- 1:32:27uh
- 1:32:27what's it called? A stock issue for the
- 1:32:29most part. But everything coming to my
- 1:32:31house obliterated, gone.
- 1:32:34Stuff going to the other places that I
- 1:32:36that I'm using,
- 1:32:38they only had one order and they were
- 1:32:39heavily jigged. The orders went through,
- 1:32:42but even my regular address where
- 1:32:45addy was completely normal, it got
- 1:32:48I never know
- 1:32:48>> It got It got canned with all the with
- 1:32:50the whole single case.
- 1:32:51I mean, I've I've personally never
- 1:32:54noticed any pattern cuz on my end, it's
- 1:32:56it's always been like everything canned
- 1:32:58or I've been basically fine.
- 1:33:01Um
- 1:33:02And I guess [snorts] I'm kind of overall
- 1:33:04just numb
- 1:33:05to cancels and just all that. Like I've
- 1:33:09been doing this [ __ ] for so long and
- 1:33:11I'm just kind of
- 1:33:12>> success. I feel you. No, it's not even
- 1:33:14that. It's just like it's just happened
- 1:33:16so much. Like I've just learned to not
- 1:33:18like get emotional.
- 1:33:20>> Yeah, like I don't get like
- 1:33:22>> Yeah.
- 1:33:22The only drop of of late that really got
- 1:33:26in my [ __ ] head was the Walmart
- 1:33:27Ascended Heroes drop.
- 1:33:29Cuz my my [ __ ] was
- 1:33:32perfect up into that drop. In that drop,
- 1:33:35I just ate ate total [ __ ]
- 1:33:38>> [snorts]
- 1:33:39>> I think that's the only time in the last
- 1:33:41probably like year I've really been
- 1:33:45extravagantly angry after a drop.
- 1:33:48Cuz that was me watching
- 1:33:51probably 40K slip through my fingers,
- 1:33:53which felt awful.
- 1:33:54>> Yeah.
- 1:33:56Yeah, but
- 1:33:57I let after day or so I let it simmer
- 1:33:59and I'll be all right. We'll run it back
- 1:34:01on something else.
- 1:34:03Yeah, I'm more so worried cuz even
- 1:34:05though perfect order is going to be, you
- 1:34:07know, it's it's it's not looking too
- 1:34:08popular. Booster boxes are a little bit
- 1:34:10on the come up a bit. I believe they're
- 1:34:11sitting at around 220 again.
- 1:34:13Um
- 1:34:15What's it called? I have
- 1:34:18me or me specifically, I know I know we
- 1:34:21hit with someone else as well. I think I
- 1:34:23got like 22 checkouts total for booster
- 1:34:25boxes and whatever the other one the the
- 1:34:28ETB.
- 1:34:30However,
- 1:34:32my main concern is that I don't mind if
- 1:34:33some of them get canceled. I kind of
- 1:34:35overextended. That was it was 2:00 a.m.
- 1:34:38in Japan when when when I was running
- 1:34:39this [ __ ] you know? So I'm more so
- 1:34:41concerned about everything just straight
- 1:34:43up just the whole the whole board just
- 1:34:45getting wiped out.
- 1:34:47Yeah.
- 1:34:48Cuz although I'm okay with losing the
- 1:34:50booster boxes, I'm not too okay with
- 1:34:51losing the ETBs. That site's slowly
- 1:34:54becoming increasingly frustrating. It
- 1:34:55really is.
- 1:34:56>> It really is again.
- 1:34:57>> [snorts]
- 1:34:58>> Um
- 1:35:01Yeah, there's just a lot of speculation
- 1:35:02around it. I mean, I don't
- 1:35:04I hate being speculatory.
- 1:35:07Um
- 1:35:10I don't know. I I wish there was
- 1:35:12something concrete
- 1:35:14on it. I I've I've had
- 1:35:16personally bad luck recently on there
- 1:35:18with them with cans.
- 1:35:22But
- 1:35:23we'll see.
- 1:35:25Mhm. I've been in the same spot for so
- 1:35:27long. I Who knows what my address shows
- 1:35:30up with with fraud flags? Probably all
- 1:35:32sorts of crazy [ __ ]
- 1:35:38RIP whoever lives here after me. You
- 1:35:40ain't getting nothing shipped here.
- 1:35:44The whole Nike address has been can't
- 1:35:45buy from Nike. I haven't seen a Nike
- 1:35:48package get delivered here in like 2
- 1:35:50years.
- 1:35:53Yeah, sure.
- 1:35:54>> [laughter]
- 1:35:56>> Yeah. Oh yeah, I was going to ask you as
- 1:35:58well. It's not really much like a
- 1:35:59question for all this stuff. Did you
- 1:36:01pick up any of those palm easons from
- 1:36:03Pokémon Center or not?
- 1:36:06The what? The the the tins. You know how
- 1:36:10they did the all the bundles for Pokémon
- 1:36:12Day? Oh, no. I got in a queue way too
- 1:36:14late for that, like Mhm.
- 1:36:16Dude, they had XY evolutions in them.
- 1:36:18That's a $100 pack for a $30 [ __ ]
- 1:36:21purchase. [snorts] Yeah. I mean, I
- 1:36:23usually don't get in the Pokémon Center
- 1:36:24queue too fast because it's I mean that
- 1:36:29it may sound extreme, but like that 30
- 1:36:31seconds, you know, of me Oh, yeah. I
- 1:36:33know that.
- 1:36:34>> pinging the monitor and doing X and Y
- 1:36:36and Z, you know, that takes priority
- 1:36:38over me starting to solve captures and
- 1:36:39[ __ ] and
- 1:36:41um Mhm.
- 1:36:43I mean, on that bundle drop, it was it
- 1:36:45was so random and [ __ ] kept hitting the
- 1:36:47monitors and I was trying to figure out
- 1:36:48what was what that
- 1:36:50I it was probably 15 minutes before I
- 1:36:52even started solving captures. So
- 1:36:54Oh, believe me. Believe me, I [ __ ]
- 1:36:56know about that [ __ ]
- 1:36:58Yeah, it's just the nature of it. It's
- 1:37:00no big deal. I'm not I don't mean that
- 1:37:01as like any sort of complaint.
- 1:37:04Nah, nah. It's understandable. You have
- 1:37:06a you have a job to do. You got to let
- 1:37:07us know whenever that [ __ ] happens,
- 1:37:09whenever that [ __ ] drops. Yeah, yeah. It
- 1:37:11just takes priority.
- 1:37:12It's no big deal.
- 1:37:16I cook enough when the opportunities
- 1:37:17present. That's why I love, you know,
- 1:37:19sites like Walmart. Yes.
- 1:37:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:37:32What do you mean task ratios?
- 1:37:39I don't think there is such thing as a
- 1:37:40task ratio. You run tasks your profiles
- 1:37:42as much as you [ __ ] want.
- 1:37:44>> [snorts]
- 1:37:51>> Worst they can do is just keep hitting
- 1:37:53you with the decision manager.
- 1:38:05>> [sighs]
- 1:38:06>> Oh boy, I'm tired. I might need a little
- 1:38:08midday nap.
- 1:38:12>> [snorts]
- 1:38:12>> Damn, you are Unc.
- 1:38:14Yeah, man.
- 1:38:17Stayed up to try and watch some of the
- 1:38:19F1 qualifying last night. [ __ ] was on
- 1:38:21late.
- 1:38:26Tice race is at like
- 1:38:281:00 a.m. or something.
- 1:38:31It's obnoxious.
- 1:38:33I was just trying to snipe [ __ ] promo
- 1:38:35bids on uh on Tik Tok from your local
- 1:38:38ripping [ __ ] booth.
- 1:38:39>> [snorts]
- 1:38:40>> 3:00 a.m., bro. 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m.
- 1:38:42Nobody's on the [ __ ] live.
- 1:38:44But I walked away with a I walked away
- 1:38:46with a seven
- 1:38:48$17 151 Mewtwo promo. Nice.
- 1:38:51>> $50 card. But did you have like a
- 1:38:53specific question in mind with like task
- 1:38:56ratios, Meesto? Like that you wanted me
- 1:38:58to like talk about or like I don't
- 1:39:03I don't really know
- 1:39:04what to say to that one.
- 1:39:20>> [yawns]
- 1:39:34>> Hello fresh milk.
- 1:39:38From Germany.
- 1:39:41Do you have any US-related Pokémon
- 1:39:43Center questions, Mr. Freshmilk?

- 1:39:48a last [ __ ] and he's asked
- 1:39:50questions.
- 1:39:53Specifically United States related? I
- 1:39:56got a question for him. How
- 1:39:57[ __ ] how do you have four arms?
- 1:39:59Like that's the only way you're checking
- 1:40:00out manually like you do, you Gordo ass.
- 1:40:06This dude will hit everything manual.
- 1:40:08I'm like, "Yeah, I hit seven of them."
- 1:40:11While bots suffer.
- 1:40:13I want to start [ __ ] going after um
- 1:40:16Love you, Freshmilk.
- 1:40:18I want to start going after [ __ ]
- 1:40:19Japanese Pokémon Center.
- 1:40:21I made so much money off of this [ __ ]

- 1:40:45like 12 bucks. I
- 1:40:48brought them back I brought like 10 of
- 1:40:49them back over here. Selling them for
- 1:40:51$65 a pop on TCG. No, I set the market.
- 1:40:56>> [snorts]
- 1:40:56>> Yeah, dude, there's a lot of arbitrage
- 1:40:58in in Japan especially. It makes stuff
- 1:40:59hard to get, too. Like
- 1:41:02Uh bro, you want to do the creamy part
- 1:41:04one? So, every store that I that was
- 1:41:06like within my area, they only let you
- 1:41:07buy one of those boxes or two at most.
- 1:41:10Yeah.
- 1:41:10>> But if you went outside of Tokyo, it's
- 1:41:13out it's tech the the name is Tokyo Bay,
- 1:41:16but it's literally outside of Tokyo. Um
- 1:41:19take the take the 1-hour and a half

- 1:41:24him.

- 1:41:34dribble whenever they want and that in
- 1:41:36modern day basket Uh dude, I should have

- 1:41:39be an easy $500 profit off of just one
- 1:41:42trip. Yeah, man.
- 1:41:44>> Cuz they were flying. I put one I put
- 1:41:46one up at at
- 1:41:48$55.
- 1:41:50Immediately, it was purchased within
- 1:41:51like 10 minutes. I was like, "Oh, [ __ ]
- 1:41:52I got 10 more."
- 1:41:53Raise the price up to 60, 65, 70. They
- 1:41:56started slowing down, but there was
- 1:41:57purchases still, so I lowered it back
- 1:41:58down to 65.
- 1:42:00Instantly, all 10 of them All 10 of them
- 1:42:01were just [ __ ] taken one by one by
- 1:42:03different buyers.
- 1:42:05And for eight And all I had was eight
