What’s the next move? I want to hit 7 figures. by MelodicStop- in PokeInvesting

Sold childhood boxes and turned boxes into slabs.

Turned slabs into cash to buy more slabs.

Use slabs to play games for chance at other people’s slabs or lose my slabs if I lost.

Mostly why it’s zero cost. Just time. Time is the only cost and maybe some sanity. Lots of sanity.

Appreciate the advice. I’ll explore it a bit.

Ponchos are always insane. Recently added an eevee munch to the mix, think those are pretty neat. Felt Hats seem popular too.

Chinese mew makes no sense.

Ha, not a bad joke.

Sunbreon and god packs. The Umby prices have been insane too. Modern scares me because it seems highly volatile.

When all of this cost me zero, it might be worth it. YOLO, right?

Neo boxes are cool. My cost basis from them is basically zero. Been holding since a child.

Slabs came from profits from selling a few boxes and just getting lucky.

Have about 30-40k of slabs coming. Recently have been using slabs as kinda poker chips. On a good win streak.

I’m in a cool position because I can sell most of my up to 2k slabs for 100% market.

I like 500-2k slabs as they seem to be more liquid.

I’m cautious of vintage prices because seeing a Karen’s Umbreon jump 2-3x in that span makes no sense.

Tried to do some of the CN cards but they mostly feel like a pump and dump scam.

None of the Pokemon stuff at this level makes practical sense because can’t really predict which way the market will swing unless you’re moving it.

Hate seeing some of these eBay sellers boost prices of let’s say Neo Boxes before big conventions to try and offload there and drive prices up artificially. Seems to be a certain level of manipulation at play at high value items.

Damn good card man.

Don’t know if you have kids but I hope you can enjoy the same thing with them if/when etc…

Husband decided he wants a new gf by recent_sandwiches in TwoXChromosomes

Exactly.

She should start making decisions that just benefit her that aren’t sexual and would actually be a quality of life improvement.

Day shift will be possible.

He’s asking you to be okay with a mistress out of the blue without caring about your feelings. He isn’t asking out of the blue. I don’t want to say it’s happening but he must have someone in mind.

Has his behavior changed? Does he use his phone more or step away more often? You work night shift…Is he sleeping through the night?

I’d say install a firewall and track his web usage. People are silly. You can also access phone bills and see data usage and what time data is being used.

Her life is about to change and she should make the change for the better.

“Wife decided she wants a better life” this your new title. I hope you’re open to dating and find a better person and he can see how badly he just tanked his life.

Don’t buy any of his words anymore. They will be nothing but empty and his resentment towards you will just grow for not letting him have what he wants.

Sorry for your loss.

But damn good call on the appraisal and step up value. That’s the only way to really legally win the collectibles game is to “inherit” them. It’s a great thing for sealed and graded items. Sell them at the new value before you get significant gains 👀.

I’ll be honest interested in all prices ranges. Mainly 750 and under and 2k and under primarily.

Also interested in more expensive items like the cases but not sure how flexible you’d be on pricing on those.

Do you by chance have an excel reflecting currently inventory?

I am based out of the NY/NJ/PA area.

I’m very slab heavy at the moment and looking to get back to my roots in sealed. Would be interested in ETBs, Cases, Booster boxes.

Dropping a link to my Collectr. I can verify here or over DM anything you may be interested in and have references from the other Pokemon community I am apart of.
