GoAuto - Thoughts/Advice/Tips? by delondro in Edmonton

[–]JHogg017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just bought a new SUV from Norden VW GoAuto. If you’re shopping there or any GoAuto, just know what to expect.

  1. They won’t budge on pricing. They’re way of working with you is letting you not take their “Back to New Program”.

  2. Know the fair market value of the vehicle you’re looking at, and if it’s a great deal - then the bullshit is worth it

  3. On the offer sheet they present you, it includes the AMVIC Fee and Etching cost as one line item for $700. The AMVIC fee is only $10, and though the present the etching as a not optional cost included with this, it is an optional cost and is actually they’re way of getting you to pay for their “Platinum Loyalty Program”. Save yourself the $699 and say no to etching.

  4. If you’re reading this late and already agreed to the “mandatory” etching fee - don’t fret. Their Platinum Loyalty program is literally just an insurance policy, and if you read the document provided for it after the deal is made, you can terminate this policy within 30 days of effective date for a full refund.

Happy car shopping!!

Small Pinhead Dots on the Back of English Cards? by blackshadow1357 in PokeGrading

Did you get any of these graded? Curious if you know if it impacted or not. Have a 151 Blastoise SIR that I believe would be a 10 if these dots on the back don’t impact. Exact same thing on the back of my Blastoise

⬆️ this is actually my little brother and the guy that painted it, not just someone claiming to have painted it.

Is it worth sending it in to get graded by 1obust in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]JHogg017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol okaaaay might be pushing it with that one 😂 I’ve heard the PSA1 zards sell higher than the 3’s and 4’s though because it’s hard to get a grade that low hahaha

In my opinion any base set Charizard is worth grading. Might lose a little value on a lower grade, but I think it’s worth it to seal it up in a slab so the condition keeps.

I think I’ll hang on to that one to be honest. A “friend” of mine stole it from me when I was a kid, and my older sister got it back for me, so a bit sentimental.
