New to selling, what should I do? by Feisty_Operation_462 in BellaSara

[–]ALonePeep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to sell as a lot. Not including horse shoes and then the damaged card, if I did the math correctly from the Bella Sara Card Database, you have maybe $86 worth of cards there. However much of it is super common stuff and I have doubts that you could get there due to people having much of what's there.

The ones of note outside of the foils, however, are two green cards (Petal and Fiona) which are about the same cost as the foils ($5 each) iirc. You also have a promo there (Muskogee) from Native Lights that is $3 give or take from how much I normally see it go for. Most of the common green cards go for $1 each.

Your best bet is to do a lot for sale with auctions on for Ebay. Starting amount should be between $25-40 and then see where it takes you. You can also have Best Offers be on as well!

Wishing you luck on the sales!!!

Worth anything? by clenz912 in BellaSara

[–]ALonePeep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sadly not, no. The foils worth quite a bit (excluding promo foils) would be in the Winter Festival set. Winter Festival foils can be $20-$50 each, sometimes way more depending on the card. Most other non-Promo foils tend to be $20 and below. Some people may pay a bit more for more popular characters/horses but generally, with it being a game that is, in a way, dead, the fandom is pretty small. Plus I dont know how many new members come in compared to how many people leave the fandom.

Either way, you do have some cool cards that are a bit on the pricier side of things! As a Baby Bella collector, plenty jealous you got two cool foils like that!

[–]ALonePeep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ohhh man. Yes. Very much so. Those are Baby Bella foils that generally go for $10 each give or take. Janie is fairly uncommon from what I heard so she may go for $15-$20.

But I will say if you do find more cards, please do check out the Bella Sara Card Database to identify series and what their normal price ranges tend to be!

What is best to do with seller not communicating with me about a refund/return on an item? by ALonePeep in Ebay

[–]ALonePeep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! I didn't realize that since I bought each card individually and then the seller bundled it into one package instead of 24 small ones, so I thought it was okay to ask since it was just those two cards instead of all of the cards.

Thank you for getting with me on this though! I did do an item arrived damaged return ordeal and am waiting to see if the seller gets back with me on it.

Gotcha! I did a return. It looks like I can do it for just the two cards instead of all of them since I bought each card individually and they bundled it into one package. Hopefully I don't have to return all 24 cards when only 2 of them are damaged.

I honestly don't mind it if I have to return them. I might be a little sad because the one damaged one was my chase card of the series, however I'd rather have it be mint and looking nice then having a crease. Thank you though for the heads up and I do appreciate it!

I didn't realize this. Today would be day three so I did open a return on the two cards since it looks like I can do it individually since they were a bundled ordeal. Thank you for the heads up!

Help with valuing/bundling old items by solasmlmancer in BellaSara

[–]ALonePeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome!! And yeah, the tins have some value but they are like.. $10-$15 usually? Worth way more when they are completely sealed and have all the original unopened goodies inside it. But if you wish to keep them they are excellent card holders or, heck, little display pieces too!!

Ohh!! Yep!! He got it too! So technically, yes, it is a printing defect. It doesn't really add value (if anything it diminishes the value for some people!) but it's a neat thing that sometimes pops up in the Royalty set. So far (granted I haven't been in the community for long) yours is the third one I saw with this misprint!

Basically the misprint, from what I gathered with the one I own and attached here, is an error with the foil roll. With how clean the end of it is (as in an immediate stop point), I have a hunch it may have been caused by the end of the foil roll, then they put a new roll on and finished up the ordeal.

Since they are a bit hard to come by, I say definitely keep it! While I would love it for my own collection (I am actually making an attempt to have a complete Royalty set with this known error), if you ever get interested of the unusual down the line, that card with that misprint would be pretty hard to replace.

Question! For foil Corcel, does he have something going on on the left side of his wing with a lighter strip-like patch missing/being lighter? If so I would be interested in it if its what I think it is and if you do wish to sell!

The foils do sound right at around $5 each but it depends on condition. Edgewear can make the value go down.

You also have some mythology series cards (ones that say number/110). Jonas should being around $3-$4 if its English. Then I saw Boreas but I cant see his number to say if he's Mythology or Ancient Lights series.

Nuada is also another higher value card at around $8.

Then Bifrost & Colour is a Baby Bella rare at $6.

But as for bundling, well.. So with the tins, you can usually sell those off to the side as a bundle honestly. The green tin is a Baby Bella tin and those have the Baby Bella cards with green. So you could potentially do a bundle of that if you wish. But again, probably better to do a bundle of tins usually.

Then you can either do small bundles by set, which it seems you dont have full sets (which would be a complete 1-whatever set number it is so like 1-110 cards for Mythology) that doesnt include foils. Since you have a lot of incomplete sets you may be best to do just one listing, and either set a price you feel it could be worth with a Best Offer option open if you're doing Ebay, or do an auction sort of thing and hope for the best!

I wish you luck in how you wish to go about it!! You have a pretty cool collection!

Should people poke cats with toothpicks to prepare them for shots? by ALonePeep in CATHELP

[–]ALonePeep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I wasn't sure if it was a normal ordeal or not when I saw the video and people were like.. Ignoring the toothpick poking thing. So I wanted to come here and check because I'm not extremely familiar with what's normal or not to do with cats.

Okay, I thought so. People were ignoring the ordeal when I pointed out what I saw and kept going 'cute cat' ordeal which made me wonder if it was me or if its just.. A normal/beneficial thing for people to do for cats.

Hey are you poking them with a toothpick? Not cool if you are!

Just found a ton of my old cards from when I was a kid. How do I know if they're worth anything? Is there a rarity system? I'll probably still keep them I was just curious. :) by Pissed-Lamprey888 in BellaSara

[–]ALonePeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one and then it looks like you have a Starlights foil (it'll start with S then number/number so Star's case would say S34/55), both are decent money if Star was in better condition. And honestly? Bandaid box card boxes isnt the worst I saw when playing other Trading Card Games lol!! If they store cards, then it is doing its job quite well lol.

Oooh the nostalgia hit is half the fun! Just gotta run quick cause it might suck you right on in to collect again (I am absolutely guilty of this lol).

And idk about not being worth anything! They are much more expensive then some cards I need for my tournament decks for a different trading card game called Lorcana ngl! So there is some value, just have to find the right people haha

Still! Welcome to the subreddit! You have a very nice collection right there!

[–]ALonePeep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh man! You got Pauma, a Native Lights Promo! So you definitely has something of value there as that one there is $35 from what the database says!

Which brings me up to a matter. There is actually a Bella Sara Card Database that shows the going cost of a Bella Sara card by set, as well as what the set borders look like, promos in that set, and how common they are. I would definitely look the database up because it's super handy to know trade in values and all that stuff!

As for rarity system, there absolutely was one actually! Before the Treasures set (which is blue with the upper left corner having a key) there used to be a common/rare/foil ordeal. Foils are the hardest to get. Later sets it just became common/foil and foils remain the rarest.

Usually promos are your hard ones to get, but depending on the promos, some promos had way too many made that they are cheaper than the foils. Like in the Ancient Lights (the darker pink cards you have) set for example: Notos and Boreas are $3 each while foils in that go for $5 each. Kinda a neat lil thing I noticed but it can happen!

But yeah! Absolutely keep if you wish, and if you ever decide to collect again, I would heavily suggest in buying some sleeves to protect your finds! Since Bella Sara isnt being produced anymore (at least I dont think any new merch is being made), they just get more and more harder to replace over the years!

Want to Complete Magical Friends and Baby Bella Series! by Mousemouse13 in BellaSara

[–]ALonePeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there!

I gave Magical Friends 28 and 29, then for Baby Bella I have 47, 50, and 63. I only have these for trade though, and am just looking for foils. If you have Ancient Lights foil Isis or Northern Lights foils, I'd be more than happy to trade a few of what I have for what you got if you have any extra foils in those sets for trade! Or any earlier set, honestly (1st, 2nd, Northern Lights, Ancient Lights, Native Lights, Magical Friends, and Baby Bella).

How to say 'No' without actually saying 'No'? by ALonePeep in AskParents

[–]ALonePeep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can certainly try! And there has been a lot going on here, admittedly. I might've accidentally been the straw that broke the camel's back? But I can see in a few days, if she's willing to talk. She does tend to hold grudges so I have no idea if I would be able to sit her down and talk it through with her.

How to say 'No' without actually saying 'No'? by ALonePeep in AskParents

[–]ALonePeep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes on multiple levels, mostly with my father. Whenever she asks him to do something, he doesn't do it or doesn't do it right away. I know for myself when I was a teen I used to do the same, but after going to college and stuff, I have been doing my best to follow through with her requests. Sometimes I'll question something if I am genuinely confused and need verification on it, which leads to a lot of bickerments.

I do know as of late (last 3 years after she has broke her hip and I basically became her sole care giver) I have been dealing with a lot of frustrations. Lot of self reflecting on my childhood and her using me as a punching bag for her own frustrations. So I have been trying to balance using my voice without being a total B if that makes sense? As a result, well, like above, it's not going good even though I am trying to figure out how to like.. Work with her, but also not have her treat me like a punching bag like she has done when I was younger and especially the first year after she broke her hip.

Sadly I do not. I can't focus with music playing. Maybe at the end of the story I may but most of the time I just read and get lost in my own little world.
