My friend's store received over 1400 packs of Silver Tempest. They were selling the packs at £6 each (largely above RRP but obviously still lower than market) and a strict limit of 5 per customer. I find it hard to believe that a set that's 4 years old and not super popular sold out so quickly in just under 2 days.

I was hoping like a lot of us things would settle a bit after the 30th but to me this is a sign that it's not gonna settle as drastically as some think. I think until the new factories are up to full capacity this is gonna continue.

Why they got Silver Tempest is a whole other question, their supplier is Asmode so nothing weird going on there.

I'm looking to buy a few old tech items, I know of a few websites but I'd rather go look at the items myself first. I know of Latgale market but I havn't gone there yet.

PC speakers, soundbars, CRT TVs, monitors, PC accessories, retro gaming accessories (unlikely too find I know) are the sort of things I'm after

Edit: I basically miss CEX, bootfairs and charity shops in the UK.

As a 14 year old boy I really didn't like the purple console and went with the black version. Now I wish I had got the iconic purple version and can't bring myself to get rid of this... I'm going to end up getting a 2nd console I know.

I'm originally from the UK and married a Latvian woman. I figured I can't be the only one and maybe there's others out there looking for friends.

I'm 39 and I've been living here for a year and half although I've been going back to the UK a lot for work so in reality I've definitely not been here that long. I've started A1 Latvian but I've got a long way to go.

I'm 39 and my interests include: retro gaming, Pokémon, beer, premier league football, photography, nature, I used to snowboard but I probably need to retire from that.

Note: I'm not against making Latvian friends at all but you guys seem to all have very tight established friend groups and I haven't been able to infiltrate. I'm open to anyone around the same age.

My wife and I moved back to her home country to have our baby (better healthcare, quality of living etc) my plan was to retrain / focus on starting a business but that hasn't really happened much since our son is demanding and I keep going back for work to earn money whilst she's on maternity pay.

I know this is a temporary stage but I often get frustrated that I can't knuckle down and really focus on it as the sooner I get things moving the sooner it'll be beneficial for my family. My wife is soon to be back at work and I'll be the main parent for around 5 months as he's too young for nursery. The childcare part I'm fine with, the lack of freetime to focus on a career I'm not.

Anyone been in a similar situation?

Additional context: my work experience is pretty broad and I don't yet speak the native language (I'm slowly learning). Financially we're ok but will need to live pretty modestly until I've get a job and some income.
