They changed our Mailman, and now I haven’t seen a Mailman in over a week. I’m waiting on packages, and cards, and as much as I hate to say it, bills. Where’s my bills? And, where’s my packages so I can pay for the bills. Does anyone know who to contact?

I need more bulk! Lots of it. I need to replenish our bulk lots. I got 10 lots started, and hopefully they’ll be ready to go soon enough. That also means I want your bulk. All those FFTCG cards that are just gathering dust. I’m paying $10 per 1000 cards.5

I’ll even send you the shipping label. KardboardKorner@gmail.com

The shoes, finally dried up.

Yeah, nothing really happens on Mondays.

Started a Gunslinger in the Abyss Coupon on eBay. We need to make some room for it, cause the office is already crammed with boxes, cards, toys, and video games.

Started working on the bulk lots, halfway through 10 of them. Hopefully we have enough cards to complete them all.

I was expecting my orders to come in today. But, where is the Mailman? I just saw them once in 2 weeks, and all they had was a single piece of junk mail. My orders should have arrived already. People need their cards.

Checked the tracking, and it said that delivery was attempted.

Restock on Opus VIII for TCG Player and eBay. Plus I added to the bulk lots, with some Opus VIII.

One of my packages finally came in today. This is about 100 foils, plenty of Full Arts. Expect them to go up on the site tomorrow. At some point. Well by the time you read this they will all be up somewhere, whether it’s Kardboard Korner, TCG Player or eBay.

Did a restock on Opus IX – Lords & Chaos. Those are already up on TCG Player and eBay as well.

It’s the start of the weekend, that means I’m going to have to be at the restaurant 12 hours a day, and then still find time to put my orders together and go to the Flea Market. This is the time where organization and a clear schedule will help you shine. Unfortunately, I have neither. I just get up and go.

Sometimes I try to stick to a schedule, but I get sidetracked easily and well, chaos comes marching in. Controlled Chaos, but chaos none the less.

Put up the Full Arts on the website. And slowly working through the rest of the cards, they should all be done today.

It’s supposed to storm all day. Still made my way to the flea market today, and I wished I didn’t. There was probably a total of 12 vendors, where there would usually be close to 200.

Can’t do nothing about it, so I just headed to the restaurant where I stayed all day.

Sunday, Sunny, hot.

Off to the Flea Market cause yesterday was a bust. Alsip was bustling today. Time to make my rounds. And around. And nothing. Nothing worth my time. There were a couple of things, but they were overpriced. They were trying to sell them for more than I would sell them, so I had to pass on them.

Walking away left a bad taste in my mouth, so I decided to head to the thrift store. And I found a big fat skunk there too. 2 hours wasted, finding nothing.

Headed home, took care of the weekends orders and called it a day.

The Triple Triad cards came in today. Spent the day sorting and listing them on eBay. Ok, I really didn’t spend all day, maybe an hour on them.

Setup a new computer in the office. Hopefully we’ll be able to get a new space for unboxings and videos. Already have some equipment for it. Maybe, just maybe we’ll start streaming on twitch, or something along those lines.

My daughter tripped over an Xbox that was sitting on the floor next to my desk and ended up spilling water all over it. And there was some cards in an open case on there as well. I tried saving them, but some just got wet. Now, I have to see which ones were already listed and take those listings down.

Started off the morning trying to test out the couple of Wiis that I picked up on Saturday. They both work, but without the Sensor bar, I am unable to make sure that they work 100%. As of right now I know that they power up, and read the games on the Main Menu. Probably should just get a wired controller for it. Make my life simpler.

And, as always, I heard that 1 out of 5 Wiis that you get will have Mario Kart in them. I pressed the eject button on them and sure enough one of the Wiis spit out Mario Kart.

It’s a misty morning today, and that probable means the Flea Market is not on for today. Still have to check it out just in case. Dropped the kids off at school and off I went to find an empty parking lot. I saw some people walking around hoping that maybe they moved it inside, but nothing. Probably just the workers.

Decided that we are going to change the office around, so that 2 people can work side by side. Put up a a photo station, a shipping station a testing station and a desk or 2 and we should be good to go. Planning to do it next weekend as this weekend we have some things that need to be taken care of.

Thinking about going to the Materia Cup at Good Games on Saturday, just to say hi to a bunch of players.

05/22

The mist is still out there, and that probably means that there aren’t any garage sales going on today. Still doesn’t hurt to look.

I managed to find one, nothing of interest there. But let’s keep moving maybe we’ll find another one. 2 signs that led to no sale, and then another one where I pulled up and I tried going in but the gate was locked. And, I could see the guy sitting in his garage next to a table full of what he was trying to sell. I just kept going. I’ll find some sales tomorrow.

05/23

What is happening? This whole week has been a bust. A big fat skunk is out there and it stinks. There was hardly any Garage Sales out there today, and we probably drove a good 40 miles, going round in a great big circle.

I’ll blame it on the rain. Yeah, yeah.

We have to make it up today. We’ve been striking out all week, but today will be different. It has to be. And, we’re not going to stop until it is different.

Off we go, grab my son, cause he likes coming along. He likes looking at all the toys. We get to the Swap, and I can tell we’re a little later then usual cause my parking spot is already taken. No need to worry, we’re still going in. From the get go, there were great items everywhere, but not great prices. And, that’s al right. It’s still feels great when you see something like a Sega Genesis out in the wild. $150 for it, I don’t think so. Although he did have a few NES Games, I did pick some up, and I probably overpaid for them. But, I did get Ninja Gaiden. Going to teach my kids about the glory days of the NES.

Also found a couple of Wii games, Donkey Kong Country and Sonic and the Secret Rings.

Took off from Alsip and headed to Robbins. Open Air Market, or something like that. This is just a small one, but it’s free to get in. Not much there, Except a Lionel Graduated Trestle Set, with the box, all the pieces in there.

After that it was off to 42nd and Ashland. This is a huge Flea Market, you’ll need at least an hour just to go through it the first time. I got to figure out how much we walk next week when we get there. All we managed to find was a couple of Playstation and Xbox controllers.

The Console testing station is getting there. We’ll soon be able to test pretty much any game.

Today I was volunteering at the Jr. Olympics.

I got lost in the begining trying to find the Soccer Stadium, but they said they didn’t need me. They told me to head over to the grilling station. And, I’m glad they sent me there. As soon as I walked over, I was handed a drink and a Greek Frappe. It was party time. If I knew about this I would have been signing up to volunteer since the begining.

I stayed there for about 8 hours, We probably grilled for about 2 hours.
