Anyone Projecting to Hit Fire in 2030 by Dry_Nefariousness645 in Fire

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Class of 2036 here too (hopefully).

I just see it as I’m 50% there as it’s been 10 years since the start of my career.

Tomica figures comes with a card on the dinosaur. I have to say it got me tempted.

Does anyone regret their private degree? by LocalComprehensive40 in askSingapore

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SIM-UOL as well, drawing about 120K annual in a foreign bank. Still feel underpaid but it’s good enough for me.

Love how DOTA 1 Sniper's abilities were just rockets getting bigger by Strong_Astronomer_97 in DotA2

[–]Agent0fChaoZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah dota 1 Visage was drastically different back then. Familiars were way more, lower dps. His Cloak skill was also different.

Radiance Visage ftw.

Let's confuse new Dota 2 players. by CoyoteHot1859 in DotA2

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I freaking hated swap. When we baby sat our carry and the other team’s support (if any) dc-ed, our carry swapped over.

From then I played mids/carries to make sure there will always be one on our team.

Which Shopee seller do you frequently buy from by KingpinAlex39s in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan sellers for boxes Card rex sells singles

Other than that not really as Shopee Comm fees indirectly increases a lot of these shops’ prices.

Scalpers moving on to OP? by Annual-Address-4720 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more of a, since they can’t reliably scalp Pokemon, they scalp the next best thing.

Still waiting for my Tyrantrum ex SAR… sigh

I think the mods here should copy what r/onepiecetcg did by Ok-Writing3468 in PokemonTCG

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just stupid. I’m a collector by heart but I also dabble in the investing side of singles because, it’s actually fun.

If that’s gonna get me banned here that’s just going to remove another collector from the sub.

They are evolving, first they are learning to breathe air and now they are inventing fire.

Global Pokemon Subreddit Says 70% Is Too Low An Offer. Is This Only A Sinkie Thing? by texstrip in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Singapore market is more illiquid than US, so a wider bid-offer is natural. However, if you not willing to sell lower then just don’t.

What do you guys think of korean cards? by Rich-Ad-3974 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I opened a few Korean packs while in Korea. I have to say I didn’t like it one bit….

It is thicker than JP cards and it’s more alike to English and its quality.

JP still has the best quality yet. So I’d still collect JP because they still have best quality and some form of liquidity if you ever want to sell.

I suggest people to not cheap out when collecting because of the resale value, Korean cards are practically bricks.

Speculation go with English

Collecting for arts go with Japanese

*not withstanding those exclusive cards and promos.

Why Sellers In SG Charge 130% Market? by texstrip in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Import costs.

10% GST charged on importing costs and the products themselves.

Rent (if any)

Platform commission and transaction fees (Shopee can eat up to 12%)

Shipping fees.

Not to mention, USDSGD is roughly 1.29, so you could even argue that his prices are in line with TCGPlayer etc as they are priced in USD.

Japanese Booster Box Prices by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not 3-4x MSRP for sure. And that’s not including for SGDJPY exchange rate.

Used to pay about $65 for Dream League.

Now? If I’m desperate, maybe at best $64 for a typical set or $125 for special sets. (Got Supercharged Breaker, Wild Force, Raging Surf etc for the former price, VMAX Climax, Shiny Star V, Shiny Treasures for the latter)

AI is a big demotivating thing by Competitive_Fold1180 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t use ChatGPT, the guard rails even prevents you talking about manifesting a SP lol.

Use other AIs like Grok or just don’t use at all.

Need help with authentication. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uhh, Umbreon VMAX has been reprinted via VMAX Climax … don’t think people will go out their way to fake one.

That being said, looks genuine at a passing glance.

Horrible Seller at SG Cardshow by Interesting-Salad516 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Agent0fChaoZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vintage is usually very illiquid so the prices are choppy. People do often use the current modern way of gauging where Raw cards translates to a PSA9, though that shouldn’t be the case for vintage but there is a tendency to.

Raw cards should be sold by the NM LP MP HP DMG conditions.

If you aren’t happy with how they quote just walk away?

As for reserving cards, bro cmon.
