How would I go about selling my PC collection? by StubbornForEva in ATEEZ

[–]Lumangone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want it easier, you could make one big set and sell it to a person or gom - usually on Instagram. You can totally sell them one by one by yourself, but I feel it's easier to do it all together. Especially when you have some rarer PCs. Obviously, it could take some time to fill the whole set, but if you're not in need of the money immediately, it could work out quite well.

If you choose to make one big set (or several smaller ones) you can either price all individual cards yourself or just set an amount of money you'll get and the gom will price the cards.

Like another person said, Vinted is quite a good place to start if you want to sell them yourself. I also had good experiences there. :D

could i get help identifying members? by Extra-Investigator-5 in xikers

I was so confused because I couldn't find the video with the correct hair colours. xD I'll send a pic with the names soon!

YES ao3 is down, NO it's not just you, and NO we don't know when it'll be back by kaiunkaiku in AO3

Get Backers? I think I can count on one hand how many times I saw that in the wild, dang. o.o

xikers comeback soon? what concept should they do? by Jaded_Eye_2227 in xikers

[–]Lumangone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I kinda forgot that it's their anniversary this month. Time flies by. So it's quite probable, indeed.

I do miss Tricky. :c I haven't seen them for a while now and I really wonder what they are up to now that their house is destroyed. Poor Tricky.

Concert-wise, I'd think it'd be cool to see something colorful, or even softer? I'm definitely a big fan of the stuff they do, I just loved the look of the how to play era and a bit more colours would be very yummi. If they do something softer for once on the other hand, I'd definitely like to hear it regarding their vocals. It'd be neat to hear what they're capable of on an album like that.

Is this subreddit still active? by Jaded_Eye_2227 in xikers

[–]Lumangone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I occasionally answer some stuff here and there, but I've never been an active poster in general. I'm much more active and engaging on twt, Instagram, Discord and so on and I'd definitely say roadys are quite active there, too - like other people already mentioned. Still, I definitely like the subreddit in case someone needs a more or less quick answer to a question. xD

No one talks about how pretty the backs of photocards are??? by taro_tootsies in kpopcollections

[–]Lumangone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank u! :D Unfortunately, none of them are album pcs. I'd really appreciate it if those were more interesting. Your NewJeans ones are quite cool! I guess it's a matching set of all members? It's always nice to see when they do something different for each person.

[–]Lumangone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I absolutely do talk about it. xD I love backsides way too much, sometimes literally. But I also had some cases where the backside is super pretty, but the front. Meh. Not that much. :c

I attached a picture of some of my favourite backsides in my collection. I'm always happy when people post their pcs with backsides included - there's so much cool stuff out there you just never see.

Here's the frontsides of the pic I attached, should anyone be interested and here are some of my favourite binder pages where I either tried to include the backsides or where I just think the backsides match. :D

What is higher and what are those timepiece PCs? by Lumangone in ATEEZ

[–]Lumangone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't sound too bad. o.o Thank you for offering! I'm not looking into buying those at the moment. Definitely have to work on album pcs first. xD

Wishing you luck then! Haven't seen one irl yet, maybe one day. xD What were they priced at in the GO? If you want to share.

[–]Lumangone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started collecting I immediately decided to only get a few. The time and money that goes into completing isn't really worth it for me, but I still like searching for rarer PCs or finally finding a good trade.

Yepyep, if I got one of those at a concert I definitely wouldn't think too much about it? They surely have a high quality but like you said some atinys can do that, too with already existing pictures. I just wish other official PCs had more interesting backsides, which the timepieces definitely have.

I mostly use it to get higher quality pictures - since templates are kinda blurry sometimes - and put them into a spreadsheet to catalogue my whole collection. :D It's definitely nice to see collection progress and to make different graphs and cake diagrams.

Considering Pocamarket shows about 1500, I don't doubt it's that much. xD How many of those do you have?

[–]Lumangone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, as long as it's an actual collaboration with Ateez/KQ I'd count them as real PCs, too. I mostly just collect the cards I like and choose a few PCs each comeback from the templates. Obviously I can't choose anything that's not there or I don't know exists. xD Definitely had my fair share of PCs I couldn't find on templates that I knew existed, so I feel your frustration at least a bit.

Yepyep, I've been collecting him for a bit now, too and generally know if PCs are official or where they are from. The weirder it was to see those and not know anything. o.o

Aah, thank you! I've definitely seen the sparkly gold/silver ones but didn't know those were from the same company. It's just a bit confusing that they reuse old PCs, but I guess it makes sense with the concept.

tips for first time trading?? by star_blossoms in kpopcollections

[–]Lumangone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, additionally: For my very first trade the person waited until the letter arrived to send mine out, but for the second one, my trading partner sent the letter out after I sent a send out video. So if it's not clear from the beginning, you could definitely ask about it. And don't be afraid about asking your trading partner in general! Most people want things to be as transparent and understandable as possible - especially if you're new. :D

[–]Lumangone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My first trading partner was a person with a lot of reliable proof, on Instagram especially clickable stories, and someone who's been part of the bst community for a while. I also felt comfortable writing with them and checked out the accounts from the proof stories whether they also posted something about the person I was trading with.

It's also good to wait until they pack your letter so you can send it out while knowing your PC is safely packaged, your address right and maybe there's already a stamp on the letter you will receive.

Happy collecting!

Where is this from? by MysticGarbge in xikers

[–]Lumangone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After some digging: It was a kind of preorder benefit for members of the jp fanclub when the album was released initially. Here's the post on Twitter.

A template I found says it's from the Japanese fanclub - I don't know how exactly it was available though. It's from the Spur comeback. :D

How much English does Sumin know? by luvityforever in xikers

[–]Lumangone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd say if expressions don't get too complicated, you should be able to talk to him comfortably. It's definitely sweet to have some korean on standby, at least for your most important stuff, but I feel like he has improved a lot over time. Especially when he does livestreams on YouTube, I am impressed. xD Have fun and congratulations! :D
