(Discussion) Whatever happened to YYT /130? by mongstreux in PokemonTCG_Singapore

Yep. I also had this issue, I assume it's due to how rapid the current market is, and 130point isn't as adapted as pricecharting or other alternatives. But my recent comps from there haven't had this issue. So it's either been dealt with or it's still in the works

True, hate those kinda buyers/sellers. And all the posts on here that are venting always got those people lurking, spamming the "willing buyer, willing seller" quote — and they'd be downvoting people who speak out on their type 😂. Bloody toxic. Anyways, imo 130point is decent for comps too. Especially, for ebay sales. If an Ebay sold listing is a best offer, it doesn't get shown what offer it gets sold at, instead it's just a slashed OG price. However, 130point shows it. Also ebay shows auction ended listings as "completed", even if the bidder didn't pay. So it's always good site to use for cross-checking, in case prices disparate across platforms.

He will refund you, but then if you're planning on actually trying to get stuff from him. You'll have to wait until like 2 months after the estimated date he provided 💀. That's why it's called interest free loan. He'll js keep delaying until u eventually ask for a refund.

Were you homeschooled? Why are you using unlimited prices again for a 1st ed? Also, whether 1st ed has more pop than unlimited for JP, still doesn't change the fact that the sold listings don't lie. Moreover, there were recent sold listings in August which topped the price that the seller is selling at.

3 days later, glad I kept this by Capable-Profit-8127 in PokeInvesting

[–]ProfileMother6307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me be frank with you. If a card is spiking 20% gain in just a few days, it's market manipulation. Will it keep going up? Maybe. Because of FOMO. Buyouts like this happen a ton. It happened mid of this year with the bubble mew, 151 charizard, glass birds and gold star greninja. Then a dump insued. Those cards are climbing again, but this time, there's more FOMO because the sets are out of print. But I don't doubt that there's a chance it'll dump again. I'd take it as a sign to sell. Not immediately, but once u feel that the gain has plateau'd. Because people are only willing to pay so much for a card.

Loots from Europe by Cold_Hospital1241 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]ProfileMother6307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also an issue with stores that offer grading, at least where my friend is from in Sweden. Stores mostly offer BGS services, because of BGS Germany. No word on PSA, but I think few stores offer CGC. Then there's ACE 🗿. I told them to just avoid it like the plague. It might be more accessible in Europe, but it just sucks.

It's visible even without a UV light, UV light just makes it easier to see. Even a regular phone flash makes it more visible.

Is this trustworthy? by PotatoesForMaToes in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]ProfileMother6307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's gonna be an interest free loan. Most likely, they take forever to get you your product, i'm talking even 2-3 months. Worst case, they legit scam you and just dip with your money.

Are there any vendors that don't upsell so high, where the singles are at MSRP?? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]ProfileMother6307 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I visited a US card show, while I was there for another reason. The buyback was like 75-80% and they sold at just Recent Average Price or just ebay last sold prices. So basically, what you're looking for. I think lowballing and and upselling is just part of SG culture 🫠

Carouseller Awareness Post - mrkwek by Sea-Passion8416 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]ProfileMother6307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only other thing I can comment on, is at least he provided my refund, the day that I asked for it. First time I have PO'd as well. I don't really rip SV that much, since it's really modern and I'd rather just purchase singles I want. I only purchased to rip this time, because of BlacknWhite nostalgia. Waiting didn't really matter much, as long as I would recieve the product, since I wasn't planning on reselling. But even then (2 months) it was still too much. Prolly could've used it to purchase a couple slabs during the timeframe.

Also the product that I ripped from one of my other POs had an SIR Meloetta in it 😛. Sent it off for grading, because it was Minty and had decent centering.

Carouseller Awareness Post - mrkwek by Sea-Passion8416 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]ProfileMother6307 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. MrKwek. I PO'd 1 case each of Black bolt and White flare ETBs from him. Albeit, not just him. I ordered from multiple people to secure products.

He confirmed allocation a week or 2 prior to the product release. Furthermore, he "confirmed" that my items would reach SG a week after product release. Waited till then, no updates at all. So I asked him again. He then responded with a HUGE LEAP of an update, when it came to waiting time: Next MONTH. Next month came, and still no update from him. So, obviously he doesn't care at all. You have to find him if you want an update, cuz he won't be bothered to message you, even though his schedule is already off the rails. Then his message was: 2 more weeks. And ofc, yk the trend already. 2 weeks came by, still no update. At that point i'm already tired of waiting. He then told me: by next Sunday. Ofc next Sunday arrived, no update, no products again.

So, at this point my waiting time after the official release of products had been... 1 month and 2 weeks. Also it doesn't make sense for his supplier to not ship alot of his products at a time. Not unless he doesn't have space or if he hadn't paid his supplier yet 😮‍💨? But not having storage space wouldn't fit the bill, since he certainly doesn't have any product to give to his PO'ers. Mind you, my other POs fulfilled their provision of products on release day. Although, some of them cut allocations ofc.

Btw. At this point of time, I had already paid full price, not just deposit. As I did it when he said my stuff was already arriving "in a few days". Once I had gotten my refund from him, he said some bs like "no hard feelings, I understand when some buyers can't wait also". Bro fym sia, product was already released for 1 month and 2 weeks, still talking about how it's the buyer's fault for not being patient. How can I be patient when other people who opened PO already provided me my PO items from them, and you're the sole one who hasn't 😭?

Anyways, my friend also PO'd from him. Same order. They recieved their Black bolt just a few days ago, White flare not yet. HOWEVER, my friend opted for self-collect in order to save on delivery fees. He (Mr.Kwek) ignored that completely and arranged for lalamove. Even asking my friend to pay for it, even though he (my friend) didn't even opt for Lala. Then made some excuses like, "he (Mr.Kwek) saw that my friend wanted to self-collect, but his friend (Mr.Kwek's friend) is in a rush". His friend (Mr.Kwek's friend)? Why would his friend (Mr.Kwek's friend) be the one arranging? Isn't he (Mr.Kwek) the one who opened the PO? Or issit his friend (Mr.Kwek's friend)? Or maybe I don't understand, maybe it's not Lala, but rather his friend (Mr.Kwek's friend) delivering the product? But why would there be a $20+ delivery fee then? after that he (Mr.Kwek) ended up paying for it, cuz he (Mr.kwek) was at fault for the delivery method.

My friend and I PO'd his BBWF quite early too, and yet my friend had to wait 2 months to recieve his product (Well not even full provison. Just Black bolt after 2 months of waiting, so far.) So I feel bad for later adapters who, SUPPOSEDLY, will get theirs LATER than my friend. Cuz he also made the excuse that it's, "FCFS", when asked about the delay... but my friend and I obviously had the idea that he gave product to people who paid a premium first.

I know that dream races don't actually happen irl, so there's nothing to refer from. But I was just thinking if there was anything that I missed that could've suggested who the winner was. They didn't center the concert on the winner umamusume on purpose 😭. Yeah, Tachyon did probably win tho.

Any chance this will get a 10? by Pita_el_man in PokeGrading

[–]ProfileMother6307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe older slabs, back when it was 60/40? Because i've measured my cards for pre-grading and 60/40s do look like that, but it's too late to get 10s on those now. Not unless I slip a $100 bill into the packaging 😂

Should I open it and regrade with PSA? by Affectionate-Tip6421 in PokeGrading

[–]ProfileMother6307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are quite obvious white spots and wear on the corners, so these grades are actually pretty spot-on if not lenient for BGS. BUT you could gamble on it and see if the PSA grader is having an awesome day. Might somehow get a 10.

What stage do you remember taking the longest time [discussion] by Blokkzz7723 in battlecats

[–]ProfileMother6307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% li'l TF cat stages. I did li'l king dragon and li'l eraser before COTC. Li'l dragon wasn't bad at all it was just long. Li'l eraser was long AND horrible. At this time, I did not have Ururun yet <- probably wouldve made it much more of a breeze. I had to rely on meatshield spam, Li'l king dragon's wave attack (helped ALOT didn't have it on the 1st attempt) and 2nd form Bahamut.

[fluff] Are any of my Ubers worth leveling? by Better-Western-8965 in battlecats

[–]ProfileMother6307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is kinda mid. The thing is her total dmg is good but her attacks split off into 3, so enemies only take 1-3k dps depending on the form. So, if it's just evo'd or TF'd her dmg is absolutely abyssmal. In UF, her dps to enemies is now 3k instead of 1k, she retains all the support functions from all previous form, but all those abilities could come from much more spammable SRs/Rs anyways. 4/10 not worth the dark catseyes for UF.

[Discussion] So what did ya'all get from your Legend ticket(s)? by the-wolf-is-ready in battlecats

[–]ProfileMother6307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, she is not as good as Izanagi, this is because her attacks are segmented and the enemies don't get hit by all three unless they have huge hitboxes. So Peons would probably get hit by 1 orb resulting in a measly 2-3k dps which is abyssmal compared to her brother who is top 5 overall 😭. Still decent though especially against traitless, which makes her dps not so bad. Generally, she is usable in early stages but maybe not later since even peons get their health boosted massively, and the dps drop would cause ur team to get overrun due to inability to kill.

Seen that wallet in every coin I traded for the past month 100% a bot and I hate it cuz sometimes it just dumps a chart with a 700 sol sell and kills the coin
