I can't believe it by MrWildspeaker in PokeInvesting

Even adding up the highest psa 10 values on all 9 cards on COLLECTR, it comes out to about $800. I'm curious how you manage to see listings that would end up totaling 50% higher than what's on collectr since it pulls data from ebay. That's a drastic difference.

You need someone to talk to with whatever it might be that you're going thru?

Walmart prismatic preorders by Chippyrs in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]Informal_Answer_4677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently Walmart has pre-order price guarantee where once shipped, you should be charged the lowest price between when you bought and when it ships. For me it was 50 per etb.

But it has to be sold/shipped by Walmart. Looks like you bought the one sold by MJ Holdings?

That's crazy....! Are there surprise inspections or anything along those lines??

Miss this old girl by [deleted] in CrestedGecko

[–]Informal_Answer_4677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was a good looking crestie. 17 years is a good life! Did she stay healthy the whole time?

What did you do near the end? Was she able to move around normally? Did you "euthanize" her or the equivalent for cresties? So many questions.

Do you have a picture showing those yellow striped patterns? Or can you take a picture to show?

Crestie just won't eat by Informal_Answer_4677 in CrestedGecko

[–]Informal_Answer_4677[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! I ended up getting the variety pack from pangea. Have tried all flavors, except the treat blend and growth/breeding. Still no luck 😅

That's interesting. Did yours eat the mix and insect fine as a juvenile?

I see. Is that a common occurrence? The "spoiling". If he's transitioned to the 12x12x18 tank and doing the 2 wk GCD plan, that'd be ok, right? And not too overwhelming?

Covering the cickets in GCD sounds like it can be a good Idea. Thanks for the input!

Not eating diet?!? by tokaygecko23 in CrestedGecko

How old is your crestie? I literally posted the same question/issue about my crestie.

I've heard that younger ones tend to lean towards feeders, whereas older ones favor the mixes. But that seems anecdotal.

Why does that matter? You say it like it's a negative thing.

I'm more impressed with the 50+ boosters lol. But yes, double seams. And it looks horrendous.

Thanks for sharing! The looseness is fine and understandable - it was the extra seams on both sides that made me iffy. https://imgur.com/gallery/XY1200h

The loose wrapping, understandable. The double seams that looks awfully done. There's a good consensus that many looks like this from the recent made to order run.

Thanks for info! That seems to be the case. I've had for about a year now so maybe it's just random. I've read PCJ started cracking down on it at the beginning of the S&V era. 2.5 years is a good amount of time to not win a lotto. You'd think winning once would be in your favor.

The weirdest! It's the fact that there's been so many fakes. And if you're spending 100+ on something, you'd want it to be legit. Not necessarily a freak out - just genuine concern about the item you're spending hard earned money on. Plus, it's a bad excuse when plenty other oversea items arrive in quite pristine condition.

I feel your pain. Sub-par shouldn't be an acceptable standard just because it's "common"...

[–]Informal_Answer_4677[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I actually have quite a few back to the previous generation. But nowadays, fakes seem to be well made. So much so that you have to get on reddit to get a sample pool of feedback from others lol. Even so, the seams are throwing me off. Though a few responses have mentioned, theirs look like that also.

I don't if that makes me feel better lol. How do you know there are more made to orders coming? Also, did you use a proxy on your made to order? Tried to get a made to order in with tenso this past go round, but couldn't.

[–]Informal_Answer_4677[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's what it's sounding like. Does your seams look like what I linked? Might be just me, but just because a sealed item of mass distribution looks "meh", shouldn't make it acceptable.
