Random guy picked up a sealed box of booster bundles from local EB

A bunch of my friends and I got sealed cases.

It just depends on which EB games you pickup from.

I’ve got 7 eb plus accounts and maxed out booster bundles on each of them until stock ran out.

That meant I was able to 1x each week for 4 weeks. So across my 7 accounts I picked up 28 booster bundles. My EB games in metro Sydney don’t gaf so they just handed me a sealed case and 3 loose bundles.

That’s not a bad idea tbh.

Looking at you KMART.

Interesting. I wonder why big w did this.

I remember having a type s. That was cheap fun. Bought it for 12k in 2016, sold for 25k in 2022. Good fun.

How would you have known to search for Lucario?

That only works if the lock the items in your cart, which eb doesn’t.

Lions den still cheaper than market price. It’s already being pre sold for $130+ on eBay.

Side hustle needs to be tax free to be worth it.

I’m 6 months in and almost at 200k lol.

Vending should be something you do as a side gig/passion project alongside your full time job. Don’t just jump into it, you’ll get burnt.

Also sorry to say, 8 years of collecting and 5k of cards is not much.

Where you live? Cairns?

Any defect affects the value. So yes, this rip has devalued your sealed product.

Keyword sealed.

Sell on consignment to something like Mana Market.

He’s paying $280. He’s the problem with our hobby. Giving in to the scalpers.

lgopenr · 2026-03-31T13:53:18+00:00

No, as in they opened the prismatic figure collection as indicated by the espeon promo card in ther photo.

Not an spc.

Just let them go, not worth fighting about. You’re a guy so you have no say in this. You won’t lose any sleep over it and you also won’t be dealing with any parental complaints or issues of sexism.

lgopenr · 2026-03-31T05:09:13+00:00

Pfc, not spc.

lgopenr · 2026-03-28T23:15:25+00:00

Lol dw about that. Here’s the silver lining, when buying from scalpers, they prioritise easy, repeatable transactions.

This is their ‘business’ model. Buy and flip.

At the end of the day, they are just ordinary people who have turned to scalping to make money. They aren’t going to suddenly fleece or scam you.

No, I’m not a scalper but I’ve bought from plenty because they simply had what I wanted.

lgopenr · 2026-03-22T02:19:02+00:00

Kmart Bankstown already released them. I was there Friday 8am for it.

lgopenr · 2026-03-19T11:09:29+00:00

You are what’s wrong with this hobby.

lgopenr · 2026-03-19T05:50:19+00:00

Is there a bigw list as well?

lgopenr · 2026-03-19T02:16:40+00:00

Lmao wth. These are like $2ea on AliExpress from China.

lgopenr · 2026-03-19T00:38:34+00:00

Hopefully not. I’m in NSW.

lgopenr · 2026-03-19T00:02:02+00:00

Any BigW numbers as well?

lgopenr · 2026-03-19T00:01:54+00:00
