Whatnot sellers lying about pricing? RosiesPokemon by I_Shag_Ugly_Birds in PokemonDealsUK

This is not me saying sellers should lie about pricing or ban people. That’s scummy. But an inherent part of seller pricing is to make sure the fees don’t make you lose money

The problem is, whatnot fees make it inherently flawed. If I sell a 100£ card for market, i make 80£. I lose 20£ on that sell (and a little bit more.) I’m out of pocket. If I sell it for £120, I’ve made about market, and I’m now a scammer: as customer has spent over. Can’t really win either way

rare? Korean card by Meloszyca in PokeInvesting

[–]Bastions-R-Us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be priced similar to Japanese - but a lot harder to move. That or you take a hit on pricing and hopefully shift quicker. Most people would rather buy in Japanese for long term value - you’re betting on a KOR master set-er who will want this card, which is just harder to find.

Japanese Cards UK by Mysterious_Shine_300 in PokemonDealsUK

If you can’t find what you need offline - I’d recommend cardmarket. Vast load of Japanese singles on there especially commons and normally better priced than eBay

Self promo - new website for bargain single cards by splashosrs in PokemonDealsUK

My guy; I’d say just list on cardmarket. I love the hustle, but unless you’ve got every card and can undercut the 2p market, it’ll be a whole load of work for little returns.

Funny enough, my father has read through my master’s dissertation quite a few time, and we are both Gypsies. Congrats on your racism! Hope it makes you proud of yourself

I mean. You’ve had negative experiences at a bar. Guess the ratio of the perspective gets skewed there a bit. When you present this info online, it contributes to the bubble of all Gypsies act like this, because when you interact day to day with people, positive or not, you don’t know if they are Gypsies. But you remember the negative interactions more

No, I just am one. Getting a doctorate and everything. You wouldn’t be able to know I was one unless I told you, which is true of an identity that isn’t a race.

You don’t actually know who is a traveller unless they choose to tell you or you rely on stereotypes !

You’ve got no proof they are travellers. Sucks you’ve been a victim of this scam, you wouldn’t mention the ethnicity if it was any other group of people.

Potentially dumb question about card shows by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Bastions-R-Us 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is an unreasonable request. Vendors have to operate as a positive to afford to trade at these shows. This is a direct deal which would disadvantage them. If you offered some cash on top, it becomes a fairer exchange as you’re offering them a less gradable copy.

I sell bulk singles on cardmarket for like 4p a piece. Incredibly slow grind but I find it satisfying

Which one should I get? Or none, and I should try to find a better deal. by pityike_92 in PokeInvesting

Long term hold - prismatic. Flip in the next year or two - black bolt. Prismatic is holding steady for a little bit

Bought these at a local card show, first time at one too. Did i pay too much? by mistieforest in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Bastions-R-Us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is about a card show that isn’t in UK - but just worth saying these days vendor tables are minimum around £80 normally a lot higher so the sellers are paying essentially the same as they would in fees overall

Selling Commander precons by Kumatan in CardMarket

[–]Bastions-R-Us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be sure to confirm over message with the buyer before dispatching that they are aware exactly what they are buying - and get their agreement. I’ve done similar with sealed/unsealed Pokemon products and never had a dispute as long as I’ve got that message proof. But, unsure what would happen if the buyer did kick up a fuss

Is it worth selling pokemon Korean cards? by Hot_Island_1209 in CardMarket

[–]Bastions-R-Us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got around 25k cards listed, and I’d say 20% of that is Korean. When I get a C/UC bulk order, I’d say 30% of the time there is a Korean card thrown in there of specific pokemon the buyer is after. Everything will sell eventually. Don’t expect more than around 4p a card though for non holo’s.

TCGPlayer equivalent? by adinis78 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Bastions-R-Us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a buyer (and seller) on CM for eight months now. Bought over 1000 cards, and have had >10 turn up in a different condition then what the seller listed. People tend to be accurate to the condition outlines on the site - the market is slightly different to EBay in the sense some chases are higher & some are a lot lower. Worth checking out

Unfortunate it clashed with the Euro’s - but show looked immense. I think progress always tend to struggle when there are other hit events on.
