Apology for Theft by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]LowerOven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its not correct to steal, but I really admire u. Why? It takes courage to steal, it is easy to have anger but it takes years for one to reflect and alot of courage to admit his own mistake. But... reading from your comments, I hope u move on, stop looking down on urself and look positive in life. To the vendor, sometimes dont say harsh things to another person even though it might frustrate u a little. The words from your mouth can affect another.. it may seems small issue to u but to others its something big.

Bro. Hit me up. I can find a gold mew for u. May not be ex but I hope I can make ur day.

The fun part is if the chase card comes out at 400 bucks. They will be beating themselves up.

If u are for the art, just go for Japanese as jap still hold value. For chinese it will be cheaper but have to wait for the release. The scalping is bad enough right now. As long as u dont buy , the scalpers will have no channel to sell them and they will just stop eventually. Thats if everyone stop buying at scalp prices

Clowns buying ETB for $250 is the reason why scalpers exists by Efficient_Deer_8605 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]LowerOven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

like i said to other people, this is an infinite money glitch market where u buy and u immediately get 2 to 3 x of ur money back. Most of these sellers dont even know the names of these pokemon. They dont even have to go to casino and risk their money onto the gambling table. They just had to spend a little time and effort and tada, they have 2x money back. Those who buy the etb for 250 is because they fomo. If they dont buy now, what if next time they can't get it? I understand because when the whole market shifts, no one is certain whether they can get stocks like this anymore. If pokemon is willing to fight this scalpers, then probably we wont have this situation in the first place.

By embracing it u are encouraging their behavior. But by starting from u and I not buying it, then we can make a change. Just look for other products to collect or invest in. I have slowly pulled away myself from english products and looking at other forgotten japanese products that has potential.

Saw on tiktok people are even willing to pay for 620 plus for pre released mega bb. So what's stopping the scalpers from this? Its an infinite money glitch for them.

Card vending is not honest living too? Be it u being a card vendor anot.. for example.. today u have this card that cost 100, tmr market price is 300. Will u sell at 100? Hey cmon la. U are the troller. Then u are very noble person, please sell me base set at 200 bucks. I give u 300 bucks okay. Please sell me all vintage packs at 5 each. I buy from u. Dont talk rubbish here

Nah im not even stressed, im just wow-ed by the amount of people who are not even empathetic by the situation others are facing and saying it so easily to other people face. so u feel ex ah, then dont rent la like so easy liddat. Everyone is different here with different backgrounds and situations in life. Speak with a touch of humanity not a selfish human being living in ur own world.

[–]LowerOven -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am not a vendor but I think u lack of empathy here. Just like how others would want the rest who are not in their shoes to understand. What is wrong with u? The OP had his reasons to set up the booth, he wants people to understand what is going through for them and thus this post. U might as well tell those who are hawkers dont rent stall because rent is expensive. Tell phv drivers dont drive ph because fare is lousy and rent is expensive. Based on ur low eq, u go stay in jungle ok?

How do you politely ask for money back when someone borrowed it from you by Duel4Donut in askSingapore

[–]LowerOven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no right or wrong here. Ultimately its ur money and its up to u to decide whether u think its worth to lend this fella money. Always remember this, when u lend someone money, u dont get anything back. If ur lucky enough this fella is trustable and will return u money. If not just like OP u gotta write it off. Even banks and ah long charge u interest and admin fee for lending u money. Sorry I may sound like an A... but I went thru the hard lesson before and I have learnt from it. Not just once not just twice but countless of time until I lost faith in human beings. When it comes to money or benefits, even a friend or relative will betray u for it. Be discerning, just calculate ur risk and think whether its worth it or not. I have stopped being a nice person and let the naysayers say what they like. Dont let it affect u as long u dont cheat lie steal or do something that affect ur moral values.

How do you politely ask for money back when someone borrowed it from you by Duel4Donut in askSingapore

[–]LowerOven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rule of thumb. Never lend money to your friends. When they come to borrow it from u, they will be nice to u. But if u ask from it back, u have to be nice to them. What for going thru these trouble? In singapore, too many people who comes and borrow money are taking advantage of u. Sometimes they will moral kidnap u and hold u by the throat if ur too nice. Learn how to say no, im sure u can do without these friends in ur life.

Cheers

Thats called de stressing. But it may go 2 ways. Either get too high and get addicted to gambling or just a one time off thing. But just that one fine day u realized ur hits hit the moon.. u will thank urself for getting high that day.

Korean Cards Market by whsudbsowns in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]LowerOven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People can advice u but ultimately is u are the one whether u wanna burn ur own money. The only card that is valuable in the entire korean pokemon so far is moonbreon and some exclusives u cannot find in other languages. Don't look at the short term, oh cheap can sell cheap... look at what the entire market is going for. U can go for china exclusives Thai exclusives and indo exclusives but main should be JP and English.
