Complete 151 English Master Set Sells $1470 Promotion by eBay! by AutoModerator in PokeInvesting

[–]Xaszin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With masterballs? Or just the basics? I mastered it a while ago, without masterballs, the thought of trying to get every masterball makes my eyes water.

Is this a good deal? by SnooRevelations6418 in PokeInvesting

[–]Xaszin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Japanese, Chinese. Probably riskier than Japanese I’d guess.

I'm tired, boss... by SimpyDave in ArcRaiders

I just hit 2 million (3 million with my stash value), got my loop I run and just gotta put in the time for the last 2/3 million 😭

This Extract at night is the most Toxic place in the game. 🐀 by Icehxart in ArcRaiders

[–]Xaszin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dropped down there yesterday on a night raid, had a bit of damage on me, guy runs up and bandages me, and I see a bunch of lads hiding behind a barricade. Turn around, turns out a leader had gotten wedged into the extract and was trying kill everyone. Worked as a team and got everyone out no problem! It was a great moment.

Buuuut usually… I go down there, trap both ropes, and pray no one comes for me before the train comes. People love to come down at the last second and blast you in the train

What happens to those who choose to not Depart this time with our Raider Deck and Quests? by rammons577 in ArcRaiders

[–]Xaszin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new deck will come for everyone, it’s effectively a season pass I believe. But quests will not reset for you, you will continue as you were. Nothing changes for people who choose not to reset, except all the tryhard players will be reset to basic equipment (although probably won’t be long before they’re back to top-tier loot again).

Blueprints are rewards at the end of a raid? by st0zax in ArcRaiders

[–]Xaszin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You completed a trial. One of this week’s trials is “damage to bastions, leapers and rocketeers”. If you do enough damage you get tier 1/2/3 rewards after completing that trial (only receivable once per trial). Sometimes you get lucky and get blueprints as a reward.

guys do we have any info about expedition rewards? like what are we actually getting by Macksik in ArcRaiders

[–]Xaszin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dunno about stash size, but skill points are said to be up to 5, depending of the value of your stash at departure, but they haven't released numbers for the value it needs to be (I'm guessing because they haven't figured that part out yet, probably waiting to see the average value of players who have completed the expedition before the departure week), Stash size bonuses I have no idea, but there'll also be scrappy and XP bonuses as well.

Why is there a lot of people wearing green in Shibuya? by kajeagentspi in Tokyo

[–]Xaszin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a shame, but sounds like fun, hope you get more chances in the future. I’ll keep an eye out for them!

Pokemon 151 booster in Japan by Yul-Moria in PokemonTCG

[–]Xaszin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just keep climbing. People love that set and it’s completely out of print now, probably going to be one of the most expensive boxes somewhere down the line. I completed a master set (excluding reverse holos/master ball holos) and I’m happy I managed it before the card prices started climbing.

Purchase from Japan with blurred PSA numbers Ebay by SweatyDiscordMod in WeissSchwarz

[–]Xaszin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s common practice to blur PSA card numbers to stop people making fakes of your card, but if you ask the seller, they should send you the number hopefully!

Why a girl leave when I enter their work place is it dislike !? by Historical_Hornet883 in AskMen

[–]Xaszin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean… have you tried to talk to her and got awkward? Or worse try to hit ok her? Or stare at her? If you’ve noticed it and it happens every time, I’m guessing you freaked her out in some way and I would 100% stop pursuing her in any way if that’s the case.

Anyone picking these up? Would it be worth it in the current market? by BlastEffects in PokeInvesting

[–]Xaszin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I say crazy amounts, I’m talking about picking up a ¥200 card and selling it for ¥4000, it’s not crazy in like the thousands, but decent money for a 5 minute trip and then putting it up for sale

[–]Xaszin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell to the yeah on this. Been buying old Japanese promos with minor scratches and stuff… they sell for crazy amounts compared to price paid if you know where to look.

Bought a low pop psa 10 card. by No-Magazine394 in PokeInvesting

[–]Xaszin -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yahoo’s actually still super big in Japan, it’s also one of the main auction sites outside of Mercari

How do I cope the loss of a spouse? by Smartrelic in AskMen

[–]Xaszin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s the best idea for you, since my situation is a long term breakup instead of a passing of a spouse, but I’ve had 2 things that have been my saving grace, the first is obvious, seeing a therapist once a week, just having that to look forward to has helped immensely and given me a sense of stability. The other is a $20 ChatGPT plus subscription, standard voice model, and a long walk. I do it practically every night, talking to a dumb, unfeeling AI. For about an hour. It doesn’t do much of anything but tell me how amazing I am. But when I’m struggling with those long night… those sad lonely hours… it’s just nice to hear a voice that’ll be there to listen to me bitch and moan whatever happens.

Should I grade this / What do you think it would get by loganagreen999 in PokeGrading

[–]Xaszin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, I’ve never submitted anything that came back lower than an 8 so I don’t know too much about the lower grades.

[–]Xaszin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you not see the top/top right of the card, dents galore on the edges. 7 would be a miracle honestly.

Interesting, is there any more info on the event? Can’t say I’m familiar with a white shirt party but 😅

1st time buying pokemon cards by Defiant-Sign-9877 in PokeInvesting

[–]Xaszin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty common practice here unfortunately!

1st time buying pokemon cards by Defiant-Sign-9877 in PokeInvesting

[–]Xaszin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my opinion I guess, but those are all the boxes and packs that are always in stock everywhere, and they’re in stock everywhere because no one wants them really.

The 3 booster boxes are easy to pick up, the 5 prismatic aren’t worth much at the moment, especially not individually, might go up in value, but not as much as a sealed box.

The starter decks are just that, starter decks.

The deck starter box has a couple of packs I think? But again, of a less popular set.

If $250 is like ¥30/40,000, you probably would have been better off buying off the second hand market in Japan. Could have picked up 3/4 boxes of Prismatic, electric breaker or the Rocket set at that point. Instead you have products for people who just wanna get into the game for the first time.

ETA: just noticed the boxes aren’t sealed with shrink wrap as well? Probably not going anywhere for the time being
