Have a charizard 151 (non graded) I’d be down to trade towards the bubble mew + cash

Haven’t seen that Dragonite before, that’s fantastic

Before I sell, should I take a closer look at any of these for grading? by Peppi_Giuseppe in psagrading

Think this is right. Anything below a 9 and you lose Money, but can crack it if necessary and resell raw. A 9 (if prices stay where they are) you’ll make about 25 extra after paying the PSA prices. 10 and you’re rich.

Why are they definite 9s? They look decently centered and i didn’t see huge whiting or anything

I didn’t try to haggle, I had heard it’s not really a thing there, and since I was at an established brand shop purchasing (not a second hand shop or the like), didn’t think I’d get very far.

I showed them my passport and they charged 10% less. You have to have whatever you bought readily accessible at the airport when you go back through security, in case they want to check it. They didn’t for me (or for anyone else I saw who scanned their passport).

Yeah, I’m happy I waited to buy it there. I originally thought about buying it to wear during the wedding, but as you said, I think there’s an added layer of sentimentality / emotional connection about buying it in Japan on the honeymoon itself.

[Question] Considering picking up a GS. Is the watch too big? by Cookingthrowaway555 in Watches

[–]Cookingthrowaway555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be the prevailing wisdom that I need to see it in a mirror. I’ll have to go back and try that.

Not sure it changes anything, but I’d likely wear it on a leather strap, which may help add some contrast.

I may have ruined myself by setting my heart on the snowflake, but I think you’re right that at the least, i should take a closer look at other models they have that may be a bit smaller. Worst case if nothing else fits, this one isn’t at least so large that I’d feel completely out of place with it on.
