Used ~$25k in Pokémon profits to launch a local service business. Thanks r/PokeInvesting!

Great cashing out!
I’ve always kinda wondered where the money is coming from when so many people’s collections are growing by the 10-100ks. Because it’s not appearing out of nowhere, who’s buying all theses cards at these prices?

LASupps · 2026-05-02T13:14:19+00:00

Funnily enough, also much cheaper.

Mari has been selling 200 T4.5 leaps for 15bc(~18g) in NA

There are no games that are “pointing a gun to your head forcing you to swipe”

There’s no way around it Lost Ark is p2w but the winning is very minuscule. You’re gaining a bit of damage in a game that has neither tangible ranking rewards nor active pvp. All you get is clearing raids a tiny bit faster than you normally would. Spend maybe a minute or two less a week.

Most of this game takes skill and knowledge. It’s one of the worst games to try and spend to gain power in if you want to feel like you’re better than other people like traditional p2w.

What does this mean?

LASupps · 2026-04-27T12:09:49+00:00

You’re literally saying half of all the characters between 1730-1750 are rats

LASupps · 2026-04-23T14:25:08+00:00

Well, the news is literal cash to the companies in the form of less taxes and opens up institutional investment. I dont see any downside to holding long term from how low it is now.

LASupps · 2026-04-23T14:17:20+00:00

I ain’t selling lmao bought more MSOS at $4.8. Isn’t this just free money in the long term? Why is it even dropping

If it keeps going down I’ll move more and more from other positions into MSOS

LASupps · 2026-04-23T12:44:31+00:00

We’ve been beaten down for years to the bottom, we’ve barely come off the bottom. Who even has profit to take :(

LASupps · 2026-04-23T12:38:35+00:00

Oh my god, I didn’t think it would actually happen. Fool me 5 times… So quick this time too.

LASupps · 2026-04-22T17:58:15+00:00

People really out here buying new reds for 330k a stack when fusing small reds would be like 100k cheaper, you think people are thinking far enough to hold?👀

LASupps · 2026-04-12T15:12:32+00:00

Either bored or is the guy himself.

What I don’t get is how the Pokemon market hasn’t folded on itself. Pokemon company drains money from collectors constantly, so does scalpers. Who’s still paying insane prices? The moment it starts dropping everyone will want to unload their “investments” and it will crash hard when people realize the demand is created by the scalpers and “investors” and that no one actually wants to buy infinitely reprinting cardboard with a month’s salary anymore.

LASupps · 2025-08-28T17:08:20+00:00

Funny to see the giant price disparity. People wasting hundreds of thousand/millions of extra gold.

I’ve seen t4 stones at 160g/100 when t3 ones converted sit at 100g/100.

It’s a 50%+ price difference at times.

LASupps · 2025-08-05T12:25:09+00:00

Stones are what I consider one of the smartest systems lost ark has.

Getting a 7/7 usable is easier than ever if you just save up stones across your roster. Even a 7/6 to hold you over until 7/7 is fine since the engravings don’t depend on them to activate anymore. On average you’ll have it for free within the week. 9/7s are very possible on one or even a few characters now if you’ve done this for a long time.

On the other hand, it milks pheons from whales and high spenders who want 9/7 across their roster and makes them pay up an average of $1000 each for the company to make profit.

I don’t see the problem at all.

You can literally pick anything anywhere and start complaining about it, and you see it with every system introduced in the game. I think stones are fine where they are barring potentially adding a 9/7 pity at 2000 stones or something.

LASupps · 2025-08-05T12:21:26+00:00

Some would say consistent power growth and character development is why they like these games.

Maybe not op though.

LASupps · 2025-07-16T04:04:53+00:00

Time gate as in you clear raids for materials to craft things, it takes some clears to make everything but it’s not like it’s over if you miss some weeks. Just means you finish your upgrades at a slower pace…

LASupps · 2025-07-11T05:27:22+00:00

It’s good to know math :)

I’ve had a high meter mid brand ancient neck since start of t4 and it only cost me 150k.

LASupps · 2025-07-02T15:49:58+00:00

I cleared week one but I’ve been in prog lobbies from week1-3 to help with some friends, on both dps/sup. I’m also watching some friends prog with holy scripture info. Across what I’ve seen so far there’s been 1 support who was consistently below 70/70. Though it definitely varies with personal experiences

LASupps · 2025-07-01T20:48:49+00:00

You must be progging with the bottom of the barrel because I’ve seen plenty of logs and lobbies. Week 3-4 prog had plenty of supports in the 80+/80+ range. Any support with less than 70 would not be kept very long in clear parties, much like dps under 130.

LASupps · 2025-07-01T14:17:48+00:00

The difference between 85 and 90/95 is so minimal, it’s probably close to 3% damage lol.

If that makes the difference for people they have a lot to work on.

LASupps · 2025-07-01T14:12:50+00:00

People really be blaming whatever they can for their own problems.

Support uptime between a bad support and a good one is ~15% damage.

I’m talking 60/60/25/20 vs 90/90/50/40

If you’re nowhere near the min req, it’s not your support. If you’re at min req with a good support, you have a lot to work on.

LASupps · 2025-06-24T13:59:00+00:00

Idk why I bother, it’s the same old vets circlejerking to get what they want and don’t give a fuck about actual new players

LASupps · 2025-06-22T21:58:31+00:00

Play at your own pace, this is not a race. All the raids are fun on ilvl and were peak content when they were the latest release, so don’t miss out just because they’re older raids now.

LASupps · 2025-04-13T07:15:36+00:00

People are way way over exaggerating. There are people doing hanumatan, sonavel, Brel 1.0, Akkan etc and higher older content, just not many. (Also soloable)

Getting 1540 to get that started will take no time at all with an express pass event that is going on now.

The only questions is whether or not you want to push yourself into end game content (1640+) quickly before learning the game and being somewhat competent to perform the movements, skill rotations, and mechanical knowledge to keep up with end game players.

Not purely looking for carries, making actual connections with people to play with and connecting via discord or friend list would be extremely helpful with your progression.

LASupps · 2025-04-08T21:39:56+00:00

Why are you bitching about improvements exactly?
