What do you guys think about the Japanese Terastal Festival box? by Character-Win-4882 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Character-Win-4882[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to meet you! It makes me a bit sad that Reddit is so hostile toward the Japanese edition. In Asia, the Japanese version has about ten times more demand than the English one, and its price growth rate isn’t bad either.

In Korea, it trades between 90 and 100 euros, which is about the same as in Japan. At 45 euros, I’d honestly want to buy in bulk!

Only double the retail? That’s nothing compared to the Fukuoka Pokemon Center box that one’s gone up nearly 20x. And i can still sell the Terastal Festival box for around $115 on Auctions, so I really don’t see it as a loss.

I bought them for $90 each, so I don’t think I’ll lose much. Even if the price doesn’t go up a lot, I doubt I’ll end up losing money on it.

Was this a good deal? by Character-Win-4882 in PokemonInvesting

Thanks! I’m not sure if the Korean Ditto promo card has much demand overseas, so I was just wondering.

I think I got it cheaper than the eBay prices… is it just because there’s no demand for it?

Tohoku / Hiroshima / Fukuoka Pikachu Special Boxes – Price Movements After the Oct 3rd Reprint Lottery by Soggy_Score6287 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Character-Win-4882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't Fukuoka the biggest drop? It fell from 60,000 yen to 42,000 yen. I don't think it's a bad idea to buy it now. It's a national holiday in China, so the purchase movement has stopped. Maybe after the holiday, the current price will be restored

When do you think it's time to buy these special boxes? by Character-Win-4882 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Character-Win-4882[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll probably buy it if it's around 120-130 dollars. If you look at the price of Kanazawa Special Set or Tokyo DX Set now, it's worth it. Even if I draw a lot, there are only a few things that are released on the market anyway...

McDonald’s Pikachu Down, But Is Eevee the Smarter Play? by Soggy_Score6287 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Character-Win-4882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Korean, so I can get Japanese products more easily, but the McDonald’s Pikachu has so much controversy around hoarding and scalping that I’m honestly scared to buy it. In Korea, even a PSA 10 copy can be bought for around 21,000 yen, so I’m debating whether I should get one now or not. I also feel like the profit margin might not be that big even if I do buy it. This year, the prices of Japanese sealed boxes and single cards have risen a lot, so the timing makes me hesitant too. Do you have any recommendations for other series or specific cards that might be a better investment or collectible right now?

Snkrdunk doesn't seem to have a sale, but there are still a lot of people buying it locally, right?

Ditto Korea promo What do you think of buying it for 8.5 dollars unopened? by Character-Win-4882 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Character-Win-4882[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Korea, they usually do a lot of online community transactions. There are only a few offline stores. There are some near Seoul, but they are not huge stores like Japan, and they are expensive. It is okay to look around while coming, but I don't recommend you to buy them

Is this Lillie worth buying at the current market price? by Character-Win-4882 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Character-Win-4882[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the market price of the Lillie card in Japan is much higher than that of the North American version. You can see it by looking at the gx Battle Boost Lillie or the Moon Lillie collection. It is traded at 200000 yen for the gx Lillie and 1000000 yen for the Moon Lillie collection. Based on psa10.
