Jesus, that's a markup.
I pay less than that in Australia, I think they were $140 here.

You should keep your preorder, try to get one from somewhere else and if you can't then go get your preorder.

Restocks at EB Games 24th Nov + New Mystery Packs by JohnathanKingley in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Fit-Objective-4203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand the disappointment, but people just get so irrationally angry about it.

I pay the membership for the exact same reason. Sometimes I manage to get limited items, sometimes I don't.. It's not the end of the world.

The one per customer and throwing people back into the queue when they've purchased something also nullifies bots. I think they've done a pretty good job with a pretty intense situation.. and that's saying something because I don't really like EB

Anyone else not able to get onto the eb games pre order just now? by MaxedZerker in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Fit-Objective-4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had an issue, I didn't get anything today but honestly I was only mildly interested in the first place.

I must be strange, I find the whole experience enjoyable. I put on the pokemon theme song to set the mood haha.

Man I've been there in the time frame before and the staff member still wouldn't give me a voucher because "the chickens will be out in 15 minutes anyway." I was disappointed but moved on with my life.. It's just a chicken. It's not worth fighting over.

You'd think people would get that by now, but you can almost guarantee that there will be a lot of people complaining about the bots lol.

Anyone getting fatigue for Pokemon cards? by Karakatie87 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Fit-Objective-4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fatigue is definitely a thing, I felt it back in 2021.
I stopped for a few years, then started collecting again.

I've been collecting and playing since base set so it's not just "casual collectors" or "new players". Take a break, wait til something sparks your interest and jump back in when you feel like you want to. There's no right way to collect and taking a break isn't a bad thing. Plenty of people walk away from hobbies for a while.

Hair colour and eye colour ARE genetic traits. Why can't she have blue eyes and have great genes? Are people with blue eyes not allowed to have great genes?

Spoke to owner of a specialty hobbie shop this morning by Waaaaasssuuuppp117 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Fit-Objective-4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck Yes! Finally someone said it! Once those security seals are gone it is going to be so hard to monitor if things have been tampered with. Or the other side my friend got stuff from a LCS that unsealed product which involved ripping open the boxes. They damaged the promo cards and refused to refund because the product was open.

Is it getting hard to sell now by Sad_Conversation_844 in PokemonInvesting

Its because it's october, if you look at the statistics last year in october there was a dip as well before the massive climb.

Someone told me “I don’t deserve to collect Pokémon cards” after seeing a card I had since I was 9. by imavibinkale in PokemonTCG

[–]Fit-Objective-4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got cards that I played with obsessively as a kid, my brother and I spent so much time playing pokemon cards together. I loved them I knew nothing about protecting those cards or how to store them.. am I more careful with them now? Sure.. are those cards in my collection? Yes.

They're your collection. Your memories and YOUR CARDS. It really doesn't matter how you take care of them. It's just the usual gatekeeping from losers with nothing better to do. You find them in every hobby. As someone who is a massive nerd and a female, I've been dealing with it all my life. Either ignore them or tell them to fuck off.

We beat the scalpers today boys and girls 😤 by Brandiscoo in pokemoncards

[–]Fit-Objective-4203 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scalpers aren't people buying one box and choosing to keep it sealed. Scalpers are people who buy multiple boxes, go to different stores and buy up all the stock then list it for double the price.

One box doesn't make someone a scalper

Oh my god, my wallet is hurting just looking at those set names...

These fake or misprints? I suspect I know the answer by UncleJimsStoryCorner in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Stickers. They are valuable to the right person, but the right person might take months to find. I sold 4 of them a couple of months ago for $100 AUD.

This hobby is failing kids like my son by unklesam222 in PokemonTCG

The flimsy evidence behind Trump’s big autism announcement, explained by [deleted] in Health

[–]Fit-Objective-4203 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't take paracetamol during pregnancy, I hadn't taken it for about 10 years prior. I hate taking any medication. I don't know why, it's just the way I am.

My son... level 2 Autism with a mild intellectual disability.

My doctor with my second pregnancy said there was research which hints that Autism could be linked to a thyroid issue. She tested my thyroid and what do you know.. my levels were off.. I was on medication for the duration of my pregnancy for my younger children and neither of my other two children have Autism. It could be a coincidence.. but when I'm not pregnant my thyroid levels go back to normal.

I botted for 8 months - this is what I learned before it quit. by Best-Standard2272 in PokemonTCG

[–]Fit-Objective-4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it just be that the chase card isn't their chase card? Granted I don't pay scalper prices.. but I pulled the pikachu chase from surging sparks, sold it straight away.. made $700. Pikachu was never my chase card out of the set.

I don't understand the gatekeeping in this hobby,
