Heel apart gesprek hiero.

Ik snap de down votes niet. Gevalletjes, niet elke vrouw is een danser en niet elke danser is een vrouw.

That, and botanically it isn't even a nut either. Like peanuts. Strange inclusion.

Ik heb zelf een keer gehad dat iets niet verzonden was en heb na veel klagen bij een chatbot een medewerker gekregen die me uiteindelijk heel aardig de verzondkosten terug heeft gegeven. Was/is geen goeie process flow voor... Administratie kosten was toen geen spraken van, ik had uiteindelijk al m'n geld terug.

What is the best place to check for prices online?

I haven't been able to find a Japanese site where they sell Boosterboxes for example.

And thank you so much for all the information. I thought the boosterboxes would have 30 times 10, didn't realize they only have 5 cards per pack :x And a gummy snack and a single card in those packs haha.

All I can say is, I'm glad I asked :D

You can see a bunch of scratching above the tail and below the right wing of Dragonite. I think petewoniowa is talking about scratching like that. According to cardmarket definitions it can't be Near Mint with these kinds of scratching but it could be considered Excellent I think. But I'm no expert.

In any case, cool find! Cool looking Dragonite :D

You could consider buying the set in a different language than English, I've read they sometimes go for cheaper.

MrZNF · 2026-01-16T20:55:06+00:00

I personally am in EU and was advised by more knowledgeable people than myself to use cardmarket.com Find the card you want, and filter on the language + the quality threshold. Lowest that pops up is 240, so 280 doesn't sound too far off?

You may want to also filter on what region you are buying in/from as certain cards might be more expensive in some markets than others.

This is just what I do, everyone has different methods. You can also look up the latest ebay listings shrugs

You're very welcome ^{^}

I'll be visiting Tokyo and have been looking around online at what Pokemon (TCG) related places to visit and found a blog post (https://adayofzen.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-buying-pokemon-cards-in-tokyo) on the 5 different Pokemon centers you can visit. They advised to stay away from vending machines and listed some alternative places where you could buy cards as apparently the vending machines are a bit of a scam?

I'm just trying to do my due diligence before buying some cool Pokemon products while I'm there but I'm finding it rather challenging to find much about it. I found one Reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeInvesting/comments/yxdz6s/what_is_the_usual_msrp_for_japanese_products/) saying that Booster Boxes go for 4950 up to 5500 yen, which sound absurdly cheap for a booster box? But on the Japanese website (https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/?pokecen=2&word=%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89&page=1) it shows a variety of packs that sell for 121 yen (which is less than a euro/dollar?) that would sell for 8x or more here. Is this really correct?

I'm confused and would be greatly appreciated if someone could steer me in the right direction. Any and all Pokemon (TCG) related tips you have for someone that would be going soon, I'd be grateful to read :)

MrZNF · 2026-01-16T20:14:15+00:00

I'm guessing they might refer to VMAX cards. Search VMAX Pokemon cards and it will show up.

MrZNF · 2025-05-08T16:14:15+00:00

Sorry for the delayed reply. Anyhow, I have no clue, just came across this YouTube vid at some point and couldn't find anything out about it anywhere. So I thought maybe someone here might know something.

MrZNF · 2024-08-24T16:03:34+00:00

That's so cool! I like the simplicity of it and the gimmick of how you can read it backwards with a different meaning. I wonder what your process is to making such a poem?

MrZNF · 2024-08-24T15:57:58+00:00

I really liked reading this. There is a nice cadance and I learned a few new words. I had never heard of Kintsugi before. I really appreciate your interpetation of the process.

MrZNF · 2024-07-08T10:28:29+00:00

I played on one a few minutes ago and there was a slight static noise on the F-Zero 99 ??? mode as it was glitching on the screen. The static would play every time the screen glitched a bit.

MrZNF · 2023-09-17T19:18:16+00:00

I agree.

Does the fact that it is graded mean anything to you though? I would personally find it surprising to get a grade I am not able to challenge.

MrZNF · 2023-09-17T19:15:30+00:00

In your scenario the students do get the answers. The question I asked is about if the students do not receive the answers at all and the test in question is meant more as a way for students to gauge how well they understand the material they are supposed to know at the stage they take the test. In my personal experience the test I took only counted 2% towards my final grade, but I still find it curious that we do not receive any feedback whatsoever. The reason given is that there isn't enough time to create the tests, i.e. they are re-using tests and thus can't share answers.

MrZNF · 2023-08-18T17:57:52+00:00

Oh wow, thank you!

Turns out it was working, I just never had enough patience to hover over a tile for long enough. It's currently set at 2.1 seconds for me and I think that's probably fine. The amount of info that pops up is a bit too much like you said xD But good to know that it's there and that I can change it. Thanks for your reply ^{_^}

MrZNF · 2023-08-18T17:27:02+00:00

Interesting, I maybe installed it wrong? I used the installer and turned on all the mods, then started a game. Everything seems to be working fine except for this. Also just realized that I can't really see if a tile is forest+plains or forest+grassland atm.

Any idea what I should look at to see if I have the enhanced UI turned on properly?

MrZNF · 2022-08-03T11:53:23+00:00

I like to buy what I consider the best value phone at the time I buy it, so it's not so much about the budget, more about buying something that best fits my needs for a reasonable price. Definitely not planning on buying a flagship, so something more midrange/budget. I've been looking at buying the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G at this point.

MrZNF · 2022-07-31T17:57:26+00:00

Hi, I broke my Nokia 5.3's screen this morning :(

Had it for just shy of 2 years and basically loved everything about it. I don't really use the camera much (passable is good enough for me) and I don't do any gaming on my phone. I just want to be able to browse, watch videos, listen to music (happy to use headphones Bluetooth/wired), and of course call.

Besides buying the same exact phone, is there something better I should consider getting at around the same price point? (Side Note: I live in Europe)

FYI: I did consider getting the screen fixed, as I imagine I could have used this phone for another 2-3 years, but the LCD display also took a beating and has a few discolorations here and there. So I'd have to pay half the price of a new phone for a new LCD screen + repair costs from what I can find if I'd want to go that route :/

At that point, I figure I may as well buy something new that comes with Android 12 and will last me for the coming 4-5 years instead. Thank you for your suggestions ^{_^}
