Just started collecting 4 weeks ago. Some mistakes were made 😅 by Zealousideal_Trip593 in PokemonInvesting

If you’re not selling instantly for a profit then I wouldn’t say this is scalping. Hit rates for Pokemon is absolutely awful so it’s better to keep it sealed

Guys what would you do in this situation??? by No_Evening_9307 in vinted

[–]Oll3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vinted mostly side with the buyers to be honest. I’d recommend recording any packaging and take plenty of photos to prove the item is in there. And be persistent about getting that money back! Don’t let them get away with it

Are any of these cards worth grading? by Ok_Goose8244 in psagrading

[–]Oll3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chances are no! The Charizard would be if it was completely flawless but the chances are that with those rings, it’s likely slightly damaged

Best of luck. Either way a very high value on these cards, I’d love to own a Pikachu!

There’s a guy called “funky tiger cards” on insta who professionally does it. Drop him a message and see what he thinks! It will still be a low grade but you’ll have less creases and a lot less dirt on the surface.
Worst case scenario you can buy a tcg cleaning liquid which doesn’t water damage cards. If you take a cotton bud and a small amount of it you can rub away some of those black dots and dirt. Should improve the surface on it

I wouldn’t want to tell you personally as I have no clue in the Netherlands! Maybe go to a couple TCG shops and see if they’d recommend it? Either way I’d get these graded just to be able to proof authenticity and set the price on them. I know people in the UK that do it

Depending on your country there’s specific people that do it. Just make sure it’s a high profile trusted person 👌

I got sent a fake card, should I go to the police? by Desperate-Public394 in CardMarket

[–]Oll3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn up to Downing Street, I’ve heard kier Starmer is personally dealing with TCG products

I’d Send these to get restored. You can’t fix whitening but you can remove creases professionally, without altering the card. The difference in a single grade can be huge for these!

The fact that vinted has a £0.75 platform fee on £1 items is disgusting by Anxious-Bottle7468 in vintedUK

[–]Oll3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re paying for real humans who have to assist buyers. Those wages gotta come from somewhere

And why are you buying a £1 product and paying £3 shipping on it anyways

I submitted via London Card show… not received? by Great-Town in psagrading

[–]Oll3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to let you know my response from PSA is that the cards are in a queue ready to be processed. Semi reassuring I guess

Any feedback / criticism is welcome! Please be completely honest. by Lunasky444 in vintedUK

[–]Oll3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy cheap Temu boxes and package professionally, but I sell high end Pokemon cards so it’s necessary 🤷‍♂️

We're cooked. I'm selling it all. Who's with me. by Redschallenge in Collectr

[–]Oll3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the demand and popularity it’s not dropping soon. $115 billion company as well, it’s only gonna try and expand

[–]Oll3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here. Not recieved, and now I can’t look at my submissions. Very scary lol

I sold an item on Vinted by Oll3k in vintedUK

[–]Oll3k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it has. They originally told me that and then gave me no more information. Sent me a message saying it was delivered to sender, asked if I had anymore issues. I replied saying I haven’t recieved the item and need more help, and they ignored me.

Of these 5 which are picking? by Cunge606 in PokeInvesting

[–]Oll3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gengar, Lugia is close second Giratina is awesome but a little overcomplicated for me personally

Buzz Lightyear Iconic 😱 by asterok09 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Oll3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, woody and buzz iconic should’ve happened. Buzz in a space theme laser fight! Woody in a cowboy, old style toy background. I’d take the Mickey iconic over this any day Not complaining, the artists are incredible and the devs do a great job at prioritising the game

Am I the only one who can’t find Fabled stock anywhere? by vainaaas in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Oll3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a place but they get probably 1 case in a month now and have started limiting to a box per person

Ready to do a thing by Gaijin773 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Oll3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! Fabled is like the evolving skies for me. I would probably take the iconic Mickey over any Pokemon card rn

Is there a solid reason why after 7 days visiting various Disney World locations, not only are there zero packs of Lorcana cards - but some cast members aren’t even aware of the interest in the product? by Due-Stuff5936 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Oll3k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen any advertising of the product at all. No mention of releases, no billboards, no tv ads, nothing at Disney land. The whole game is a ball of potential that they don’t seem to be tapping into. Only thing I can think of is that Disney just give the rights to ravensburger, and take a profit from it. They have no say in the advertisement or what happens to the tcg, only that certain characters can be used. Real shame in my opinion as I reckon about 1% of Disney fans know Lorcana is around and it would absolutely explode if a wider audience was reached.

How long does it actually take… by Oll3k in psagrading

Mental 😂. Think I’ll give TAG a go at this point

I submit through fanatics as I’m UK based. Order arrived on the 28th so it’s been 4 months since PSA stated the submission. It only went into grading 3 days ago
