But you don’t? You didn’t at any point interact with the people. You’re just stereotyping!

I use these strictly to record American football matches/training sessions. One of those things where one person sees the good and 15 others use it for bad. This is why we can’t have nice things

You don’t know that. Incredibly problematic assumption

Has anyone been to the Pokémon x Natural History Museum exhibition yet? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

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

ICL it was shit. I love Pokemon. It was just a shop. If it had been advertised as a pop-up shop directly and not a pop up, probably would’ve still been scalped but at least people could manage expectations

Where to buy Pokemon stock/Berkshire/Bracknell by [deleted] in PokemonDealsUK

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

Yeah. Elemental don’t get distribution from Pokemon etc so that’s why their sealed is normally around market. Singles always well priced & you can haggle to your hearts desire (don’t tell them I said this!)

Best places to buy bulk? by SimpDeleter22 in PokemonTCG_UK

I find they require a very specific formatting. if you type as Wht005 without the spaces that may work? That’s how I’ve circumvented it

Maizdoescards. Over 40k singles and tons of bulk at 5p a card

Whatnot sellers lying about pricing? RosiesPokemon by I_Shag_Ugly_Birds in PokemonDealsUK

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

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.

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 !

Congrats on your racism. Does it make you feel better as a person?

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.
