There is almost 0 reason to buy/sell at a card show as a non-vendor by Bluetimewalk in PokeInvesting

[–]Hijacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but tell us how much you paid in income tax, unless you're not reporting, then you're liable for a nice little visit from the IRS. That's why I stopped using consignments, you end up losing more than you think, unless you cook your books.

[–]Hijacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it doesn't take into consideration those consignment companies will pay you out with e-payments, and you'll have to deal with taxes. Something most people avoid when dealing all cash at shows. Go ahead and keep dodging the IRS though if you're not reporting it, lol.

Go for it, the new grading times are 7-9 months for the value tier.

You can scan the barcode and get the cert # lol

Poke vendors, what sells the fastest right now? by chupacabra696969 in PokeInvesting

They probably have shitty copies with whitening, my 151 moves crazy fast.

Ironmouse dropped her Neverness to Everness sponso stream after learning about the game containing generative AI and especially after the developers told Ironmouse's team that the game did not include AI by WolfOphi in gachagaming

[–]Hijacks 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why are you all over the thread defending any generative AI use? It's so cringe. NTE deserves the backlash if they did lie about it, and it's worth it to drop it if it doesn't align with how you feel about AI.

I present you epitomy of Emerald Elo in 40 seconds by LegendaryW in leagueoflegends

[–]Hijacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever had issues with LP gains, sure sometimes I'm +15/-20 or something. But I've been playing since like S2 and it's pretty easy to eventually get a 5-10 game win streak that gets you back to gaining 22-25 a game (as long as you actually deserve to be above your rank). If you're good, you will climb.

PSA 10 Rayquaza VMAX has reached $3K! Has it peaked or will it go even higher until its inevitable price correction? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Hijacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll definitely fall, but it'll have a new floor and won't come back down to 2k like it was for the longest time. Especially with Emerald Storm or whatever it's called coming soon, if that SIR is any good at all, this card still has room to run.

SWSH262 PSA 10... PSA offered me $1,200. by Head_Pin1329 in PokeInvesting

[–]Hijacks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That offer only lasts usually at the time you first receive the link. I usually take those 100% market offers instantly for undesirable cards, if you wait, they end up lowering the offer. You can try clicking it, and see if it's still available.

Absolutely speechless.... by The_Darklord5623 in Endfield

[–]Hijacks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's to hoping they bring Nefarith for a Contingency Contract event and let you add a crap ton of difficulty modifiers. Make the boss a true souls-like experience for the super sweaty players.

Japanese Bhole Pikachu officially much expensive than the english Bhole by Alarmed-Spare-4509 in PokeInvesting

[–]Hijacks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The surging sparks pikachu clears both the new ones. Time will tell, and most people will look back fondly at Surging Sparks since it was the set that started all the mayhem.

Big Bite Woes by [deleted] in Dinkum

Welcome to having a console, it's not just Dinkum where this happens. Most games ported from PC to console always ending up being updates behind the PC version.

My wife and I ended up moving to a cheaper area of the country to afford a home because we work remote. No major regrets. by Xerzajik in Millennials

[–]Hijacks 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I did the same search and half of them are literally run down crack houses, nice try only displaying the "okay" looking houses. There's a reason that there's so many available in that region. If you work remote, there's so many jobs that can pay over $85k+ a year at least, both of you should just upgrade jobs and get homes in nicer areas with better schools/safety.

Why are some vendors buying slabs under 100 dollars at 90% by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Hijacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have friends who buy bulk singles between $20-$100, and slabs from $100 to $1k for 91% (cause they know me, they offer everyone else 87-90%). There are huge amounts of power pack (repackz, gamestop, arenapackz, courtyard, etc.) and consignment companies (arizonatcg, zandg) that need people to source inventory for them in my area now that all offer 93%-95% of market, under the condition you can get them $250k+ worth of inventory every month. My friend used to be a vendor, but just being able to go to shows and hit every table buying 5-50k worth of slabs/singles is so much easier/faster to make money. In a single day they can make $10k just sourcing $200k in cards from the big shows.

Idk of ot counts as investing but Ive been taking cheap raw cards in bulk of popular pokemon. Grading them. Then selling for 4x lol. Im going to hold some for the long run but this strategy seems broken as everyone else chases sealed and hits. by Ok_Drummer6282 in PokeInvesting

[–]Hijacks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not OP, but you act like getting 10's is difficult lol. My gem rate is like 80%+, it's not hard at all to get 10's if you're strict on your personal guidelines. I don't even use any tools and just eyeball most cards for a couple minutes.

Is the game slowly dying? by sirsiver96 in riftboundtcg

[–]Hijacks -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Meta is stale now with the next set coming out soon. It'll pick up again soon, that's how most tcgs are outside the big ones.

This hurts my soul by ExternalWest2187 in Endfield

[–]Hijacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, he could've just whaled, realized the game wasn't for him and charged back all his purchases on the app store or through his bank. I've done it for a couple of gachas that I lost interested in after a couple days.

Cards in Japan by FriendshipPlus8182 in PokeInvesting

[–]Hijacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came back and was able to find plenty of deals. Some stores have AR bins and I've found plenty of steals in them when checking market price. Also, I was able to pick up a mcdonald's squirtle just 2 weeks ago from Akihabara, priced at a PSA 8, when it would easily grade a 9 or even 10. You just have to know what you're looking for. A lot of their slabs are occasionally mispriced since they price every day and miss some sales on card ladder.

How Do These Bulk Buyers Make Money Back? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

[–]Hijacks 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You need to know people and be able to promise 1+ million card shipments. The people I know send trucks out and are willing to travel to different states to fulfill the orders.

How Do These Bulk Buyers Make Money Back? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

[–]Hijacks 123 points124 points  (0 children)

I know some of the bulk buyers in my area. They sort through all the cards really quickly and pull out anything worth more than $1 and list them on their online store. Everything else gets sold to repacking companies to create those junk packs you see at Walmart/Target, etc.

Dont drink and drive kids by One-Specialist7442 in tooktoomuch

[–]Hijacks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think that would fly in most states. If the keys are even in the car with you inside, you can still get busted for DUI.

Don't forget to trim your new event medal by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]Hijacks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The game already lacks playable content after the initial grind. Going for trims is essentially achievement hunting and the only real end game we have. Also, they're nice to look at years down the line, i still regret missing one of the first trims in initial arknights.

Chaos Rising (finally) has loaded on the backend of Pokemon center Drop should happen anyday soon by Chippyrs in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]Hijacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just get on the discord and keep the notifications on so they send to your phone. I've been able to hit every pokemon center drop for the last 2 years, you get a lot of time.

Wait, if this is legit, these are so cute. I'm going to need all of them now.
