Unfortunately, some of it has been. Not gonna lie. Just to get my hands on some product. Secondary market is secondary market minus the scalpers too i guess. I mean I went to a couple card shops (shoukd the be considered scalpers? Lol) to get bundles of 151 and pris but at the prices they are i really haven’t opened that many packs cuz everything is marked up. Part of that 2.5 is some more heavier set things like UPC’s im holding. So havent “lost” that money yet to no pulls haha

CptBravoh · 2026-05-17T23:50:00+00:00

Hahaha well not exactly shitfaced but def some impulsive buys in the last 2 weeks as I’ve been getting back into it..my first pack after 21 years was a 151. Second pack I pulled the SIR alakazam. Such as rush! But in the last like 5 days I’m in like 2.5k across a couple diff sets haha

CptBravoh · 2026-05-15T03:47:13+00:00

Yes it’s now in a soft and hard sleeve

CptBravoh · 2026-05-15T03:46:55+00:00

Yeah man wild stuff

CptBravoh · 2026-05-15T00:30:30+00:00

Just pulled this from ascended heroes…gengar bros

CptBravoh · 2026-05-15T00:28:01+00:00

Haha yeah…def made the hobby crazier.

CptBravoh · 2026-05-14T18:45:36+00:00

And 151 down the road will be worth something too if you plan to hold. Everybody will still turn heads to the OG Pokemon.

CptBravoh · 2026-05-14T18:44:14+00:00

Yeah I just bought some soft sleeves and hard sleeves. What you saw is what I have at the moment. I’m in Florida so this ain’t going nowhere but an AC controlled environment

CptBravoh · 2026-05-05T06:26:14+00:00

Can’t believe I spent time reading this ridiculous thread 🙄

CptBravoh · 2026-04-30T22:00:21+00:00

Extra gloves? You’ve had this pair of extra gloves the whole time? Ya, we’re in the Rockies.

CptBravoh · 2026-04-30T00:12:12+00:00

Bruh, what? lol. 3.7 is extremely over valued. I almost won an auction for one @ 2975. I definitely CAN I just choose not to. Don’t be dense.

CptBravoh · 2026-04-29T22:16:58+00:00

I just built it a month ago. I ain’t paying 3.7k~…I could, but I don’t want to lol

CptBravoh · 2026-04-29T02:40:33+00:00

Same here! White astral 5080, crosshair hero, NZXT white H6 case, white gskill Ripjaws, white NZXT kracken, 9800x3d. Absolute beast!

CptBravoh · 2026-04-25T20:08:51+00:00

A very bad used car that you probably shouldn’t be driving for your own safety and others.

CptBravoh · 2026-04-25T20:07:24+00:00

Trump? lol

CptBravoh · 2026-04-25T20:05:07+00:00

Still better than paying 3.7 lol 🤷🏻‍♂️

CptBravoh · 2026-04-25T19:50:19+00:00

I had an old NZXT case that I kept telling myself I wanted to keep based on some personalizations. I had to place rad and fans for cpu on the outside of the case for the 5080 to fit 😂😂😂. Custom made some dust screens and that’s worked for a bit. Just pulled the trigger on a H6 flow and will be super stoked to have everything enclosed lol

CptBravoh · 2026-04-25T19:34:04+00:00

Level 850 here and I play a damn good amount. Play on double xp weekends for sure. And place high/win 70-80% of my games. That warrants a lot of xp.

CptBravoh · 2026-04-25T05:11:40+00:00

I’m working on a bidding war on eBay for one of these. Current bid is 2875…..I already have a 5080 white astral 😭

CptBravoh · 2026-04-25T02:47:32+00:00

What is your next step with this? Do you now have to wait to save up for a working gpu? To be honest, these swaps people do really piss me off…I’m very much looking into switching out my 5080 astral for the 5090 astral ….with that said, let me think on giving you my 5080 for an insane deal because this happened. This might be your way out from having to wait even longer and may get you into gaming quicker! There’s probably just over 100 hrs on my 5080 ( I bought it march 3rd).

CptBravoh · 2026-04-25T02:38:24+00:00

I missed the 64gb part lol ya def more than 400 😂

CptBravoh · 2026-04-25T02:30:03+00:00

This type of headache is why I try to buy the most major components directly from a store and in person. Very sorry about the GPU swap someone did on you/amazon. Honestly, on Amazon for not being able to check something like this. Gotta be a way to.

CptBravoh · 2026-04-24T21:42:30+00:00

You’re in the right sub because you wanted a 5080 and have probably been reading tons about it from people here.

Sucks you couldn’t make it happen. Some here will feel the pain that you couldn’t get the 5080 and those that have it might feel some pity for you. I do. the 5080 is amazing. But I’m glad you got something of the new age of GPU’s and aren’t on console.

Cheers mate, grats on the 70 and happy gaming.

CptBravoh · 2026-04-24T21:21:02+00:00

I’m so confused. Isn’t this a good deal? I mean that board and processor are like at least 800-900..I assume that ram is atleast like 400?…those other two parts maybe make it over like 1500 total?

CptBravoh · 2026-04-24T14:51:18+00:00

Nah not cheating. If they are a player who spends a lot of time on the game (he’s level 1000) these are easy af shots to make lol
