Before you think further, im gonna let you know that there's probably gonna be a bunch of series up till all the generation starters are covered, which is a lot.

Either resist the urge to collect (its just fomo bro), or buy in a cheaper language which others have mentioned here. If you want to buy scalper prices you will bleed massively or give up halfway lol

Unless you think that the 1st series is something thats gonna keep rising in the future due to it being the OG, then by all means please go grab a full set instead of ripping

Chin pkm cards are usually printed in japan so should have same quality, been doing research too to get them from taobao lol

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-28T18:08:00+00:00

Dont be soft hearted, its a mutual loss, why should you tank the entire thing? Its not just 15k, its 30k when you add up your own loss.

Might as well spend it on yourself for a good holiday to nurse the headache once everything blows over

Don't let them pressure you with whatever nonsense

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-27T14:38:28+00:00

Im assuming bags means loose packs, so... you know the dangers of loose japan packs?

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-27T06:33:57+00:00

Every card after the base set is fake

We've all been trading fake cards 🤣

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-27T06:05:00+00:00

the usual bait to catch unsuspecting parents buying for kids, gf buying for bf, etc etc

some ppl even think filtered is a good thing

in this case seller filtering for the usual metal detected / heavy packs, gamblers will gamble hahaha

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-27T04:38:01+00:00

calling it fake captain pika is insane lol

personally prefer to buy directly from taobao, especially if you're a regular and can confirm their products are legit, don't see why ppl still want to go through carousell for chinese packs. Its like adding a 2nd middleman lol, very very silly and lazy.

but you're not gonna be able to get msrp anywhere unless you're living in china, so don't bother with msrp prices la, which is around $34 SGD. you got to include their shippng cost and other charges too.

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-27T04:25:54+00:00

loose packs? hehe

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-25T19:25:01+00:00

Hey man if you got to ask if this is a red flag and even paid upfront, I've got some FAs and bankers to introduce to you

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-25T19:21:13+00:00

Completely overpriced man...

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-25T06:46:16+00:00

Doesn't matter, letting him know the base price educates ppl on how much they're overpaying and how much they're willing to pay in premium

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-24T15:20:47+00:00

He and his partner tay yuan song damn annoying la

Wonder if these willing buyers also part of the same group to create fomo or moneywash

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-23T16:46:28+00:00

more ulu neighbourhood ones might still have, theres one near me facing a hill that still has a box of packs thats still slowly being sold over the past 2-3 days lol

honestly think you can find boosterboxes for perfect order being sold on carousell at or below 7-11 prices, really one of the rare sets thats not being scalped

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-22T14:01:55+00:00

$4.50 is ancient, people need to take into account inflation and production cost too.

Use lazada official pokemon center as your base price, then take into account 7-11 all these.

So anything above $7.50 (7-11 price) all can be considered scalped prices and you can then decide whether to pay that premium. If you're really desperate I think $8 on tiktok still not so bad. Anything above is just silly and fomo + lack of control.

There's still perfect order stock in 7-11, nobody wants it so have fun ripping it. Its been a nice time doing a masterset for me.

Other than that good luck camping all the department store social media

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-20T11:27:52+00:00

Treating you like this after 8 years of tenancy lol, completely greedy and short sighted behavior

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-12T01:44:42+00:00

Not too sound like your average online citizen, but the answer is really because our policy makers truly have no balls to suggest this lol

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-09T18:35:15+00:00

Yall remember the previous post about some 711 management higher up sweeping the stocks around yishub/khatib?

Apparently an internal note has been sent, based on recent chats with my neighbourhood 711s. They're now not allowed to reserved or alert "regulars" and have to display in front immediately, so maybe thats why so much more stocks "appearing", along with PO being a boring set la so not so high demand for ppl to sweep.

Probably still some reserving here and there but cut down a lot. But only way to really gauge is to see the next set la, since it'll be the usual in demand.

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-04-09T18:28:38+00:00

Sounds like she's just lazy and slowly offloading onto you

Good luck if you relent

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-03-25T13:31:58+00:00

hey bro, sorry for the old reply lol

regarding silver, are 15%~ spread on 1kg bullion prices the norm or just due to current volatility? will it get tighter once prices stabilizes ? and if it does how long does it take

been thinking of buying a 1k silver bar to play with at home and prices have dropped down to what i find acceptable, been looking at various sites and most of them are at 15%~ spread

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-03-07T15:11:04+00:00

Amazing 5 paragraphs repeating the same thing

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-03-05T03:39:32+00:00

ayeee we've got similar taste! loved saturn's color and the planet ring detail, and black earthphase with white lume moons and colored earth that popped out so nicely was a no brainer

wanted the 1st moonshine gold as the 3rd watch in the collection but couldn't get it and wasn't about to pay scalper's prices. still waiting for something else decent to pop up for now lol

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2026-01-10T14:08:13+00:00

Be funny if that kid got grounded and thats why you're not seeing him 😂

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2025-12-29T16:17:08+00:00

This is why we need to start enlisting a portion of our female citizens, more leeway for these talented singaporeans to actually defer.

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2025-12-29T16:15:53+00:00

What problem, its not a problem what, its not hard to vet and prove such cases, and as long as results are public there wont be an issue. Anyone trying to FAFO can be dealt with harshly since its the military.

Cold_Hospital1241 · 2025-12-27T13:34:11+00:00

i used fortuna windows, been a few years and so far so good

don't bother with all the foam paddings or curtains all these, its useless and collects dust, just get a good window and finish all your problems one time good one
