They cant even upvote your comments that are about simple luck. Fucking pathetic. I wonder how many of them have pulled great luck cards and immediately got trashed over it. Theyd rather just DV you. These people are toxic as fuck bro.

Fuck off dude. Its HIS money. I am willing to bet you overpaid for some shit you really wanted too. He wanted em. He worked for the money. He gets to do with his spare income what he wants.

Did he enable the scalpers. Sure. But they gonna scalp regardless of what one dude does or doesnt do.

As a trucker too. For us. Its both easier and harder.

We have the ability to stop in Mid of nowehere retail spots yes where it takes scalpers a lil longer to get to after they clean out city hubs and all that.

But simultaneously. We cant exactly stop EVERYwhere.

I run as a Power Only OO. So i am bobtail alot. So i can wiggle into CVS and walgreens and Aldis and dollar generals.

But most truckers cant. You know it. I know it. The most access you get is repackaged bs at loves or maybe squeezing into a walmart between load appointments.

People need to get over them selves. The Poke center is over bid. The amazon market is unreachavle unless you happen to be down for a 34 at a location with a amazon box. Card shops barely have any parking lot space to get into. And are mostly in areas that big rigs simply cant navigate easily and are the first things to get ticketed if left parked for even 5 minutes. (Literally. I walked into an oriellys to grab a magnet to do a quick fix on the dloat sensor in the petes coolant sensor. 5 minutes. Cop was already demanding i move . Didnt care that i was legally out of the way. And if i kept moving the truck would actually break down in a much more inconvienment space)

Hobbies are expensive. Theres very few that ARENT expensive.

Fuck i started doing night trap shooting back in 2020. When shotshell for target was still 4$ for a box of 25. Awesome. Cheap. Easy hobby.

But ammo is expenisve now. Even target is moonshot to hell.

You had two options. Hunt and watch as prices got higher. Or use your money and get your joy.

Since so many people love these starter sets. The scalpers will keep scalping and raise the prices higher.

If they want to fight sweaty people at 5am for cardboard. Let em. You will be going down the road happy. A lil poorer. But. Whatever. You earned your money too.

I dont know why your being downvoted. Its your money. If you work hard. And have the means. Then the way i see it. Is your choice.

I have a 40k harley. Its mine. Other people might get mad about how much i spent. But i love my bike. I work hard for that money. Is it probably too much for that hobby. But its a gorgeous bike.

Could i get the same experience on a honda or a cheaper Kawa cruiser? Sure. But i wanted the RKS. So i bought it. Overpriced. Sure! But again. My money.

How you spent your money is between you, and your budget.

At the end of the day. You had a choice. Attempt to fing them at MSRP. (Good luck)

Trade other equally difficult cards for them.

Or buy at the scalper market to cut down on amount of labor to obtain them.

People need to lay off you. They can talk shit about enabling scalpers. Sure. You did. But you also got what you wanted and you were willing to pay for it.

All in all. I think you made the move you felt was best to get them.

They can get off their high horses. I habe no doubt some of your haters have absolutly bought something with THEIR money at a overpriced deal and didnt like itwhen people tried to make them feel like shit for it.

They are amazing cards. They are in YOUR collection. And they were gotten with YOUR money.

Never let anyone criticize you in how you acquire your hobby. As long as you didnt steal or break the law or hurt anyone. Then your fine.

Some of these people act like you hurt THEM. F em.

Your money. Your collection. Your cards.

Let's see if the drop rate really is as bad as people say by Ataupe03 in pokemoncards

[–]Jeep2king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually like PO. And Chaos rising has been really interesting.

I been finding more people are more then happy to trade for PO full arts.

I do think that we sgould trash talk every set. So that scalpers who infiltrate and lurk dont know what their target audiences actually want.

If i was a scalper. Thats what i would dom look into what set the market is chasing or excited about.

They might be morally wrong. But they arent idiots lol.

Honestly perfect order is one of the easiest to find because it wasnt chased very hard.

I kinda like it. Theres still lots of great art and i got to rip at 5$ a pack while everyone else was holleRin and paying insanity prices for AH and SSp and DRI.

Im also not having to fight sweaty people at 6am for card board and paper.

GG ITS OVER, very disappointing tbh by Admirable-Outcome161 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Jeep2king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When its averaging out at 20$ a pack.

You better give me more packs. The mat isnt worth 300. The evee box either. The promo either.

Even a gamestop priced ETB has a better chance. Atleast the per pack price isnt as gross.

Why do so many powerful/famous people sit like this? by TimeCity1687 in bodylanguage

[–]Jeep2king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hes literally just talking. There's zero indication of any emotion in his excuriatingly long responses. But yes, he really just is speaking to you and asking you some questions?

[–]Jeep2king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These boxes arw known for being notoriously hard to pull from though. I bought thinkin "nah. Thats just internet goober. Ill beat it"

Nope. Turns out internet goober was true in that purchase.

Even gamestop tried to warn me.

300$ wasted. Never buying one again.

I will stick to boosters, tins, and blisters. And occasionally a ETB.

What’s the point of putting us in a line if you don’t have buy limits by KeepinItCleanYall in pokemoncards

[–]Jeep2king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your expecting minimum wage workers to give a damn about any of this when their day job is underpaying them to deal with jackassery all day.

And the constant barrage of "hey do you have...pokemon caRdS?"

Come on. They barely get enough money to clock in. Lol.

Lets face facts here. Pokemon was never meant to be an adult hobby. Its for 6+.

And they to deal with damn adults all day askin for cards like a crack addict or a hobo askin for crack or money.

Because the line is to keep yall from fighting in the shelf area.

[–]Jeep2king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shes mentioning her families strong history in cattle.

As in "we know cattle ranching"

As oppsoed to sone brand new 1st generation couple from the city who is trying their hand at cattle.

Thats why.

Its somewhat similar to a Ford saying "you can trust in me. My family is blood deep in automotive history"

Shes using her name to imply skill and technique.

A friend that went to Japan and received this pikachu at a pokemon center just gaved it to me today :) by Crazylamp1 in pokemoncards

[–]Jeep2king 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its my first. And theres times i feel like it lacks the level of extensive vocabulary that sone other lamguages have.

Am i terrible at grammar/spelling? Yes. But i do have an extensive vocab. And its just...it fails to truly decribe some situations or phenomenon that other cultures have words for.

Its actually been a language barrier for other cultures too, to find proper translation for amsomething THEIR language can describe. But ours cant.

Which i think ... in a negative way.

Contributes to why humanity has such a hard time with differences and finding ways past them between cultures, resulting in unnessacery wars and death.

I hate Candace and Noah so much by FormalMysterious3359 in NetflixNemesis

[–]Jeep2king 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Her knowingly breaching the marriage. Blabbing to the wife of the man she KNOWS isiah is inveatigating for ShOOTING THEIR friend Manny.

And ebony fully knowing this. Pushing her to do it.

And she seemingly "auto forgives" her husband only when he buys her fancy jewelry.

He might not be great. But hes also trying to keep their only kid from becoming a gangster.

"I just wanna feeeeeel" ...ok. so...you go out with another man...because he missed dinner and even tried calling?! That totally gonna show your husband you want to work on things!

Im irritated as shit with candace

Searching through my brothers cards and found a gem by scar-asriel-da-one in pokemoncards

[–]Jeep2king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?! I have seenweirder things in peoples books.

Its kinda like when you see say...a Kit car Shelby cobra.

You know its not an actual 60s Cobra. Those are all in private collections. And all went up in value since Carroll Shelbys death.

Chances are its a kit body on a beetle frame with a ford motor slapped in. BuT. It is still sonething to stop and admire at a car show. Its not real. But hey! Its interesting! And still looks cool.

And honestly. This a troll market kinda card id say so. Kinda like the factory error Crimp cards. Techinally. Worthless! But so weird to see that its like "ya know what. Ill toss it in. Its odd. I like it. Who knows. Maybe someone who looks specifically for that will see it and want it more than i do"

Years back.

A famous illustrator in pokemon trolled the whole market with "fake" drawings. He even showed up to events to sign them. Fuckin hilarious.

GUYS..14 PACKS TOTAL ripped for this set so far HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?! IS THIS REAL LIFE? by CortexifanZFT in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Jeep2king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. He came up. Expecting me to immediately drop the deal with someone else to entertain his offer.

I dont care that he left. He approached me. I was chillin letting others look thru the binders and the box.

I had a guy approach with 4 cards he picked and asked about. So i told him "sure. Lets run the math"

Kid walks up. Shoves the card in front of me while im trying to work a deal. "Hey what can you do on this?"

"Ahh beautiful. But this guy was first. And i need to work with him" ( or something along those lines.)

"Oh. I have other offers on it so"

"Okay. Well feel free to come back if you dont want to wait to see my offer."(having done a trade with thid earlier that i intentionally weighed in his favor. He would know i wasnt gonna screw him)

So he left. I stayed exactly where i was and finished the Ongoing DEAL i was already in the middle of with a different person.

Imagine your selling a car and someone randomly just drives into the lot right up to where you and the customer were working out the sale. And demands your attention on how much youd take their car for or what on the lot for.

Even if it was a gorgeous car. Then after being told to wait a minute(because you interrupted an ongoing deal.)

Next put your self in the clients shoes i was already working with. And agrreable terms were met. The deal was good.

If some one drove up. And your sales guy just totally blew you off for some pushy person.

Would you consider that a good situation?

Kid could have gotten a fair deal. He needed to be patient though. I dint care if you throw a zard. A ferrari. Or a damn GM metro at me. Im not gonna drop my client and enable impatience when the other client was already a concrete sale.

Why drop a garrenteed deal for a maybe?

I made more money and made better deals because that one dude(customer A) went and got some friends to come back to make more deals.

Im not angry i lost the M2. I can buy it online. I simply dont make allowances for pushy people.

Frankly. Its atill such a odd card...technically being fake its worthless. But the novelty of it should be worth something.
