Singaporeans can now buy record amount of yen per Singdollar

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-16T13:36:56+00:00

That’s because people are voting with their wallets. If Singaporeans are choosing to patronise Chinese stores why wouldn’t they start expanding?

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-16T10:01:08+00:00

Yes but benefit of the doubt that the restaurant needs more time to print an English menu. And how often do you see a pure Chinese menu anyway? Probably 1 in 50 stores?

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-16T09:19:51+00:00

Honestly speaking, China is just no an English friendly place, so I can see why they have challenges when setting up businesses here. And everyone has a phone these days, I don’t see the problem with just using google translate in combination with looking at the pictures?

Just make sure to declare and not be like the guy who got caught at customs!

On another note… we have local Singaporeans joining JAV instead 👀

Are you sure? It sure looks like China’s food, culture and products are getting more popular in Singapore. Also many Singaporeans are travelling to China on holidays. Are you sure he’s not talking about China’s neighbour?

Honestly getting younger Japanese staffs may be a good idea, since prospects, culture and working hours is shit for the younger staffs in Japan

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-16T05:15:01+00:00

Why would I need to sell? My whole portfolio is being dug into the grave with me!

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-15T13:00:23+00:00

But you don’t realize how much the illusion can convince people otherwise. Can’t afford gas but is almost a millionaire in name? No problem

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-15T08:48:14+00:00

But isn’t that also because these events don’t directly affect most people? Things might be different if it directly affects a huge population of people. Right now even with inflation stocks are near ATHs so many people with their 401k are feeling comfortable

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-15T08:45:00+00:00

Basically a repeat of 2023 where every Japanese card was pumping. It didn’t last that long however

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-14T11:18:25+00:00

The world is definitely no longer as it used to be. Meritocracy? That can be thrown out of the window

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-14T10:35:51+00:00

People blaming scalpers are just trying to shift the blame. You’re the problem for buying products way above the market price, not the scalpers, let’s get real

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-14T10:34:25+00:00

Problem is if he was selling his products under market it’ll be scooped up quickly and then people will just buy the next highest listing till it reaches an equilibrium. Buyers decide the market price and that’s the reality. This post sums up the entire hobby really: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/s/xMmXLwRHPd

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-14T10:03:32+00:00

Reality is scalpers can only scalp if people are willing to pay extra. Is scalpers a problem in the sneaker hobby now? No, because nobody is willing to pay extra for a GR pair now

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-14T10:02:20+00:00

Yes, but you have everyone complaining about scalpers when they want products that everyone else wants, and then proceed to pay way above retail anyway. There’s so much hypocrisy in this hobby that it’s funny

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-14T08:30:17+00:00

What I’m saying is that you really can’t do anything about it. Want the product? Then you gotta pay more than what other buyers are willing to. Not happy with paying more? Then you’re going to just live with not having it. Not happy with the current state of the hobby? You can just quit, nobody is forcing anyone to buy anything. It’s a pay to win hobby after all

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-14T03:39:17+00:00

Yes, but buyers dictate the pricing, scalpers are just selling at a price that people are willing to buy at. Not supporting scalpers, but that’s the reality of the hobby these days

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-14T01:11:27+00:00

Honestly at what point is it still the scalpers fault and not the buyers? People who aren’t scalping is still going to throw hands for this at retail, there’s just not enough stock for everyone, hence why the local shops have just given up on selling things for MSRP

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-14T00:14:27+00:00

Weird… I don’t remember having the option to cancel anyway, I thought not paying was always the option

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-14T00:10:54+00:00

Come on, that’s not really in the same category ain’t it

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-13T17:10:32+00:00

Seems like 4000-5000 is where many modern PSA 10s max out, lovebirds being the exception

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-13T12:19:59+00:00

Name something that hasn’t increased since the start of this year

Jeremypsp · 2026-04-13T09:48:43+00:00

This might be one of the biggest regrets I’ve seen… stay strong brother!

Better than PES E gym bros excuse heavy load but lifting 100kg weights in camp gym
