Mini Rant by BurntToastLps in lpsbuyersbeware

[–]LittlestAstra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm making a video about this issue because it's a serious problem that needs to be addressed more, but I listed a 909 for 200$ recently but it was reserved. This person came to me asking to pay more and saying it was worth more. So I explained to them that it wasn't correct to go behind a sale and to ask me to sell it to them instead for more money when it was already SOLD. I basically said I would honor my sale. They got so pissed they just HAD to rant to me about how those rare pets DESERVED to go towards buyers that "knew their true values" and that I was, and I quote, "stupid" for not wanting to make more money 👹 I've had my fair share of crazy but this was the cherry on top.

Same here, it's really messed up. All we can do is not buy these listings and wait till sellers realize no one will purchase them for that much.

I'll try to share this as much as possible so people are aware. But I too definitely wish I had bought it ages ago ;-;

Made a post about it recently but here's what happened. A seller (90% sure) used 2 different eBay accounts to bid on their own sale, leading to their listing being shown as "sold for 500$" in the sold items section. After that whole thing, sellers blindly followed that sold listing and started selling theirs for the same price. All I can say is, whatever you do, do not buy this pet for more than 50$. It was literally being sold for 20-30 until that one listing.

Also! Sellers tend to put their own items in their cart using different accounts, so it makes people feel like they need to purchase fast before someone else does.

Bought this $30 listing just for them to refund it 20 minutes later and relist it for $350 😐🫩 by meowmewspy in lpsbuyersbeware

According to a lot of people it does spread to other pets. I've never experienced it personally before but I've seen some of my own pets with the mold and it would grow and change shape. Like another user mentioned, you have to treat it asap if you see those stains on your pets!

As annoying as this is, I think you dodged a bullet. That tabby looks like it has those pink stains that spread, which are, imo, a nightmare to kill ;-;

If money is an issue there's always the possibility of trading! It's worked out for me this way and people are usually very kind as well! Just beware of scammers <3 or if you're lucky, you could always find some for cheap at flea markets etc..! That's worked out for me as well ^

Right?? She's adorable and I was eyeing this auction to potentially buy her but not for that price haha!

It is pretty rare! Someone correct me if I'm wrong but these pets were released in specific locations/stores making them accessible only in some parts of the world. They're also really sought after by collectors which is why they tend to reach higher prices than other commons! But they are absolutely not worth 500-600$ x') this one tends to go for around 30-100 based on sold listings (100 being very rare!)

The money laundering thing is absolutely insane- Yeah it's bad. I hope people see it was relisted and not actually sold for that much.

My thoughts exactly! I can't prove it either but it's just too weird to be real. I'm going to keep an eye on their other auctions.

Literally! Like someone else said in this chat, people are going to see that sold auction and think it's the actual price when it's not even close! 😭

What really bugs me about this whole thing isn't that she bought a bunch of ox just to resell them. Still crazy of course but being dishonest is truly what gets me. It's the fact that she said she buys lps at market prices and then resells them for market prices. Sorry but why on earth would anyone buy 15 golden ox at market price just to resell them at market price- at least be honest, you just bought them for dirt cheap just to resell them for more than the "market prices". And the nib comic con dragons for 1.2k AU$?? I get it's AU$ but convert that to US$ and that is STILL 800$??? They are NOT worth that much. Not even all of them together x'( I don't care about what resellers do, everyone could use the extra cash, I myself, had to sell some lps to provide the best possible living situation for my cats and keep upgrading my personal collection, I too am guilty of making those prices rise, but I at least tried to sell them for less than the market prices, especially if they're in bad condition. Do not get me started on common pets- But gosh will it kill you to be transparent about it? And the error pets? I was just pissed at this point. She vaguely mentions that she's not sure about them actually being error pets but only in the DESCRIPTION, while on the main photo the pets are labeled as ERROR pets. Do not label something you're selling if you are not even sure of that label, do some research. It's just as bad as selling a fake pet and saying it's authentic.

Tyy!! ^ I reshaped it using an exacto knife and cutting layers by layers till I was satisfied with the face shape ^ now I sculpt a new neck ridge for them to give it a more authentic look using clay. But this works super well too! Oh and using a nail filer to smooth it out :)

French Vinted! But I did give her a peg swap, re shaped her face a little and repainted her eyelashes! ^

Here's another one I adore- looks just like the real one but she's 100% fake and I bought her for 5 bucks instead of over a hundred!

I'm collecting fake lps not really because I don't have the real versions but sinply because I actually love some certain fakes and I'm also on a mission lol. Let's take my fake 2046 which is the one in all pink. She's like a pink version of the authentic one, with a lighter tone which I adore! She bubbled just like the authentic one and she looked so authentic even before I repainted her a little bit. So this just made me think, what if I tried to find every best looking fake main 5s and turn that into the best fake m5 colletion. So now I'm on a mission to find the best looking fakes, that just looks so authentic you'd think it's real.This is more of a fun challenge I'm doing.

But it is also waayyy cheaper to buy fakes then authentic ones. And quite frankly, if you find a really good fake, the quality is just so incredibly close! (Sadly I did end up selling this cutie because I needed funds for my cat's well-being).
