    gift cards

    You’re not losing a red cent. First of all, what you have is a non-liquid asset. It’s worth exactly zero in real terms. It’s worth what someone will pay for it in cash-convertible terms, which is what you appear to want to do with it. You have gift cards with X value in future Blue Mountain goods and services on them. That doesn’t make them worth X. It doesn’t even make them worth X-Y, where Y is the difference in value you perceive you should get. They are worth what someone is willing to pay. Second, you keep whining about how you paid taxes on them and are loosing (sic) money. Either you think we’re stupid, or you don’t know how taxes work. Okay, probably both. If you have gift cards with $1500 in value on them, you didn’t pay $1500 in taxes on those cards. Assuming you were in one of the highest tax brackets (hahahahah, unlikely) and paid about 30% on the “value” of those gift cards, you paid maybe $500 for them. So if I buy them from you for $1000, you are making a $500 profit. You aren’t losing anything. I’m not getting $500 free. I am purchasing from you, at a 100% markup, the ability to get a potential $300 discount on goods and services from Blue Mountain, not even the full $500 because as I stated above, the first 20% I don’t even count, as that deal can be had with enough patience. I don’t need your gift cards. I’m still sitting on almost a thousand dollars in Blue gift cards that I paid barely 50 cents on the dollar for. However, I’m still willing to honor my original, very civil and non-insulting offer, with a small modification; my spread has gone to 40 cents on the dollar from 33. That is, I am willing to purchase all that you have at 60 cents on the dollar. The education you just got costs something.

    gift cards

    Legit advice, 10% isn't worth it to anyone here, because half the time they refuse to give your season pass discount when using a gift card even though they are supposed to, because the only one who knows the real rules there is Barb cause she made them up that morning. Also Steeze, because he runs their social media. Also, they discount gift cards every black Friday, at least 10 percent, 2017 it was 20 percent. IMO you have to be at least 25 percent off to be interesting. I'd buy them all for 1/3 off face value with a face to face meet and total verified by Blue. If not, good luck to you.

  5. On the road with Pops, Waze says eta is 751
  6. That’s a cool looking pic tho
  7. Yeah. Not enough jitter, too much bug
  8. He means skate without the skating
  9. Printable $5 coupon, not sure if it works on Morning or Day ticket or only Extended. I think we will probably get the Day ticket, we ski slow and might want to go back out after lunch https://www.skipa.com/plan-a-trip/media-center-press-room/documents-downloads/coupons/73-midweek-coupon/file Can't tell from their site if they consider weekdays M-F or SU-Th. The only place that mentions it is the 2 day tickets
  10. Copper is available on TicketsAtWork for $103 per day. If you don’t have access I think I can purchase for you and put your name on them for pickup.
  11. Weather.com is saying cloudy early, 50% chance of afternoon showers, 100% chance of night rain. No hourly breakdown that far out. Neither forecast is all that bad, IMO
  12. What does the guy in the squire costume do?
  13. Caught wind of this in a post Camelback made on Facebook. Sad to hear of another death on a Poconos mountain. Sounds like this guy was a well-liked regular. https://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-pol-pocono-township-man-dies-skiing-20190204-story.html https://www.facebook.com/SkiCamelback/posts/10156497470139022
  14. Not needed - there.
  15. I'm usually good with xrays, gruesome pics are another matter. Xrays look "fake" enough not to bother me
  16. I can guess what the 9 minute delay in your reply was for . . .
  17. This post aged well.
  18. I can’t believe I forgot the BBQ sauce. First run at flatbreads was a smashing success tho. Another item in the repertoire. Gotta start thinking about what I can pull off for Gaper Day Loved the snow everywhere across the mountain early. Got slow and grabby when we went back out, so I think we only made like 4 more runs. Much more work and the legs were beat. Crowds got nuts, but the VIP lines at both lifts made the wait very tolerable. Saw that they had finished on both Razor and Dreamweaver, but for some reason still hadn’t opened either by the time we quit at 2:00. Maybe a night sesh this week, potentially Trivia Tuesday. Otherwise, Elk on Friday! Hope all you guys headed west have great trips.
  19. That suuucks! I was even thinking when we went back out, I should start going down they the park to see if we can spot Antman doing his thing. Did it happen on a park feature, or just take a bad tumble?
  20. I "like" this comment

    Put a ladder up and hang 250 foot cables between 3 poles and a business. Wish I had taken my Carhartt bibs out of the attic before I buried the access, lol
