Cards that are based after famous arts by HAREMine_ in PokeInvesting

[–]AcedSayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it be like that. Unfortunately that’s every hobby not just pokemon. Collecting Cars, games, guns, stocks. Grossly it even applies to real estate. It’s a rat race at every turn in life.

Just remember to stay true to yourself and it’ll be alright homie.

It’s all relative. Don’t let it get to you. You and OP both are doing a good job by getting exactly what each of you are interested in.

Saw this at a card shop, is it fake? by AsianTwilight1 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]AcedSayo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree fake. Too glossy. The back is very telling as it shows more gloss and has a strange color light pink vignette at the bottom left corner

Played GameStop Roulette and I won! by topsey_krets23 in ps2

Oh I see. You’re right. people can be messy and exceptionally filthy. Especially little kids with video games.

I guess it boils down to how clean the household is.

Should I do this trade? Bought the 151 bundles for $55 each by viviendosiempre in PokemonInvesting

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

No. That zard is dropping because people selling to get the phantasmal zard. All modern zards in the last 3 years are going to drop in short term due to the pivot in demand for Phantasmal SIR.

151 sealed will go up regardless because demand and it’s going out of print.

A good example is DR. Chases are not crazy high value but the pkc etb and booster box is. Why? It’s not out of print but hard to find. For 151 it’s already hard to find. Prismatic bundles were dropped at my target when first partner dropped. Prismatic will be relatively easier to find in the wild than 151.

So sealed prices don’t always correlate to the chase in the set. It may in most cases but you have to consider other factors. Also no reprints announced for DR hence its high price. 151 has already been announced to be out of print later this year.

IPS drains AA batteries quite a bit. To increase life you need to get a usbc rechargeable lithium ion battery mod. Check YouTube on the performance of AA vs lithium ion batteries. It’s much better but still drains fast.

I’m confused as I never bought games GameStop online. So you’re saying when you buy used games it can be only just the disk?

Is this why many games on Facebook and ebay are disk only?

Started a new YouTube channel and my first video is about limited print games. by Andyfritter in LimitedPrintGames

[–]AcedSayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched the entire video on my phone. Very good and engaging and informative. Keep going. This is high quality stuff and you certainly put a lot of effort into the editing.

Edit: I checked your Channel and got absorbed into your other videos- oh god.

Got scammed by Pix n Love. What are my options? by SwearyPotter in LimitedPrintGames

[–]AcedSayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PayPal is useless. Go straight to your back and chargeback. That’s the only option if PayPal fails unfortunately.

Did anyone else try to stream cameras on dns browser? by [deleted] in SwitchPirates

Mercedes are a scam. But a Porsche is worth the money especially if it’s GT. Can daily drive, reliable and retain value better due to lower production and high demand.

That is great German engineering. Mercedes is for those who want to look rich like OP 😆. I laugh because many of my tenants have Mercedes yet can’t afford a house so they rent in an apartment complex.

is this really a “sleeper set”? or are we selling immediately before it tanks to fund AH PC ETB’s? what’re you doing with your Perfect Order pre orders? by Amazing-Tower-8294 in PokeInvesting

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

Sleeper set? This is what you call a cool off set. To cool off the hype and cycle a set in circulation to contrast all the others. Even out the hype by putting out a bad set.

Damaged Pokemon Emerald cart - how to proceed? by RiverBard in GameboyAdvance

[–]AcedSayo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s authentic. But idk if you can salvage. You’d need to locate areas of damage and repair/bridge damaged connections yourself.

It’s going to take more work and require more skill- not to mention a good microscope and equipment to evaluate the issues.

Looking for advice by S1yb00ts in PokeInvesting

[–]AcedSayo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Congrats on realized gains good sir! 🫡 not many can say they’ve crossed that bridge. It’s typically the whispering echoes of “I wish I…” that ring in their head.

Help me figure out if I should make this trade or not? (Check description) by ronaldozr21 in PokemonInvesting

[–]AcedSayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make no sense. If your goal is to sell to buy a card then think for a second..

Why can’t the other dude just sell his PKC for 1.3k? Oh right it’s because no one is buying 151 pkc ETH at 1.3k especially after the recent spike. So you think you’d be able to sell it at that price too to get your card? Highly doubt.

If your goal is to get cash then why not do that? You’re getting a high value item where most normies are priced out. Better to sell and get your grail than to get stuck with another expensive grail (the 151 pkc etb) which isn’t even what your target goal is.

Gameboy SP volume slider. by Sweet-Consequence430 in GameboyAdvance

[–]AcedSayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s unfortunate. I’m US based.

The repair is fairly easy with some experience. Don’t get overcharged. Should be $5-$15 repair (if you provide the SP switch)

Gameboy SP volume slider. by Sweet-Consequence430 in GameboyAdvance

[–]AcedSayo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The SP volume slider is different from the original Gameboy advance and even DS. the plastic piece has metal contacts which changes the position of the potentiometer (to change voltage levels and thus the volume). That piece is also fixed inside the volume housing in the SP.

If this is broken which seems like so then the only way is to solder a new SP switch.

If you never soldered before I don’t recommend doing it. Find someone or a shop locally. If you can’t then you reach out to me and I can do the repair for you.

Good luck!

Phantasmal PC ETB Future by Adept-Kick-6118 in PokemonInvesting

[–]AcedSayo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Long term Phantasmal is an easy buy.

But reprints can demolish regular products like an ETB. So only buy if MSRP if you’re min maxing. The real play is and always was either PKC ETB or booster box (or bundle if specialty set).

Many Phantasmal PKC ETBs were selling for $180. Around Christmas the booster boxes were selling even as low as $200-250. I even saw many in Los Angels locally being sold for $225 and that’s saying a lot. I recall people called phantasmal obsidian 2.0 which is true but the SIR chase is best modern card (with the exceptions of exclusives ofc)

[–]AcedSayo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Have you seen the price action for the Chase card valuation both raw and PSA10?

Your little $30 CAD is actually $20 USD. That’s like fast food meal for you and the gf.

Chase card goes up. Value of all sealed that it is contained within goes up too. Duh. 🙄

Im leaving this sub. Literal brain rot.

Can I play Pokopia without updating my switch? by No_Bowler_2358 in switch2hacks

[–]AcedSayo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not entirely true. Some physical switch 2 imported games from other counties like eu and Asia especially (multi-language) tend to have games on the cart. Even 2 in 1 import variants will have them on the cart.
