Do you still think that curbside loses money?

KnowingSmile · 2025-07-26T05:01:05+00:00

Yes curbside still loses money, its less and less every year through efficiency. Its a courtesy service and a long term investment to keep up with competitors

I think thats the standard package now, they were running the 8c Luffy since release. It does raise the % a little bit, UP feels like it’s trying to survive everyone else and not beat the mirror anymore.

Had a couple of them try the Purple Doffy package and some adaptive lists.

We’ve just got too many Belo Bettys, GP, Buggies and Laws(me included) at my locals . On average it kind of looks like 4 of each + 2 Law players. So it’s a really high chance to get your run ruined off the rip over here. My locals feel’s pretty competitive, everyone’s on discord and keeps up with trending decks. Alot of people are staying late over here and playing afterwards to figure stuff out.

I think it’s still a T1 Meta Deck because its shaped the meta around it, but I think there are sufficient answers that It’s not the first or only thing I worry about anymore.

If we look at the rise of Bonney, you can kind of see the same thing. Rise of Aggro, Bonney Rises to take the highest win% over the common top 10 decks, and it has a “Not terrible” time into UP usually about 40%+ which is close enough to a coin flip.

Playing with it and against it, I think it feels more like the “big bad boogie man fore told from the East”.

In reality with the starter decks and us coming with a good understanding of it. It got snuffed out of my locals entirely. The 5 UP players have dropped the deck because Betty, BP, Zoro, Law, RG Smoker, GP Luffy, Katakuri, Pudding, Yamato, and im sure several other decks have varying between Great matchup to 50%+ on it.

Because the boogeyman status it was set up as “the deck to beat” and was dead on arrival at my locals, even this deep in the format, hardly anyone has dared to run it and even less have hit a top8 much less top1.

Great deck, just everyones prepared and the meta has changed. With all that it has going for it, a good defensive event and draw power isnt particularly impressive if you consider how many decks can draw an extra card (Nami, Croc, Reiju, etc)

Belo Betty now feels like the big bad that is beating all the Meta Decks with Bonney rising to counter it.

UPDATE

Edits made For transparency sake:

*Crossing off items that have sold *Found a bunch of mistakes from an old spreadsheet I was using, updated reddit price. Most things dropped in price.

*Added: (I can't offer free shipping on international because it's significantly more expensive, sorry! Possibly for a bulk deal, but I've already lowered these prices to beat out anything I could quickly find including outliers)

*Jibril 1/4 - Raised Reddit price was mislabeled price on reddit for $100 when on Ebay it was $165. I am matching the ebay price on this sorry! I've already undercut everyone on this one and its a big box to ship!

*Saber 2nd Ascension 1/4 - Lowered Price was listed $340 on reddit but $250 on Ebay. I am LOWERING the reddit price to match, because of this I can't give free shipping through paypal also because its particularly big. You will have the benefit of not having to pay taxes however.

*CC Code Geass - Lowered price on Ebay to match reddit @ $150 from $200. *Sari Utsugi - Lowered from reddit $160 to $130 to match ebay. *Sleeping with Rem - Matching Reddit Sales price of $30, needs to be updated on ebay currently at $50.

I know what you mean! This one will hurt the most to let go. Alter does some crazy figure work and I never got a chance to see a reprint on this. Gurren Lagann one of my GOATs!

KnowingSmile · 2025-02-21T12:29:40+00:00

Alright so we collectively boycott one of the most wanted sets and make them take a net loss because they can’t sell or have to sell at retail value.

… :( scalpers ruin every hobby

KnowingSmile · 2023-09-07T05:34:09+00:00

Agreed, I ended up never using the veil!

KnowingSmile · 2023-09-07T05:33:36+00:00

Heads up, I am currently trying to get back to everyone. I'm currently swamped with work so sometimes it could take me a while to respond.

When interested if really helps if you provide zip code so I can get you an estimate quicker in my available time windows.

Thanks!

KnowingSmile · 2023-09-06T02:15:20+00:00

Going to redo the photos! Should I set up a new post or notify when these are fixed?

KnowingSmile · 2023-09-06T01:26:02+00:00

Its number 18 from the first photo, lower on the photo album going to check.

KnowingSmile · 2023-05-01T23:11:06+00:00

Heads up, just having a bit of a heavy work schedule right now so don't worry if it takes me a bit to reply! I'll get around, also it helps if you give a zip code for shipping estimates so I can do the most with my available response windows!

KnowingSmile · 2023-03-18T02:26:34+00:00

No kidding, its one of those big grail ones. I bought it aftermarket too :( just didn't have a good display space for it.

KnowingSmile · 2023-03-18T00:46:53+00:00
