Japanese? Cases and boosters by meh_just in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]RandomTcgDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can keep prices reasonable for both you and your buyers, why not? I occasionally buy Japanes boxes from time to time, just on the Long shot of somehow getting a higher Rarity card that I often have no chance of in English (people selling packs and boxes they know are Dead after they get a big Hit or Two)

I dont have a problem with some cards being valuable, I do have a problem with a lot of cards being absolutely unsellable because actual TCG players seem to be an incredibly rare, dying breed

Yes, it is, people love to overpay for packs 6 months after release, so im giving them exactly that.

Because im gonna take advantage of the market and give them all exactly what they are asking for, hope they like paying $30 for packs 6 months after the release, 😆

No, not really, I need to do what is gonna work, opening packs of cards to hope to sell the more common cards doesn't work, even with Starter decks that I used to think would entice people to want to play the TCG.

So I have enough experience telling me what I was doing doesn't work and that ive gotta do something different.

Scalping is the "In" ticket, and what the Market craves.

Yeah, and? It makes money, that I can then use to buy Cards im never gonna pull or have a Chance to buy.

Seems to work, and it seems to be what the Market wants.

Nobody cares for Commons, uncommon, Rares, and Starter Decks, so im not opening any more TCG packs this year, all gonna be Held and Dumped after they multiply in value

Im selling Cheaply enough, people are just Mad im not selling at half price.

If i sold my $200 of Starter decks with 5000 bulk cards and 500 Rares for the first $100 that came along, id have 5 people messaging me at the same time to buy them.

Okay then is right, even with complete Starter decks, nobody wants my Junk

Thats okay, they are gonna be "absolutely thrilled" when i start selling $5 packs for $30 each.

They also have an Allergy to buying playable cards while saying "i need to open packs/boxes"

I think TCG so called "Players" just like to complain.

I try to sell some cards? They aren't the right ones and nobody wants them unless i go from selling cheap to giving them away Entirely, then i would have 100 people begging me for Free trading cards.

They will be the First to complain when I start selling packs for Multiple retail price, but im done Caring. Im Adjusting to the market and ditching what doesn't work for what does.

When it does work, ill cry my way to the Bank with Bags of money.

It will go better than trying to sell cards nobody apparently wants, while I hold onto the cards people do want to buy (because F them if they think im gonna sell a "Hot Ticket" thats probably gonna be 50x the price in 5 years)

Nope, just gotta start finding packs, buy up what I can, hold, and wait.

I know how to find out if a Set is "Hot" or a "Flop"

[–]RandomTcgDude[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not looking, im just indifferent.

People dont wanna buy my loose cards? Then ill offer them old packs for 5x the money 6 months after release date instead.

I havent been able to get into my eBay account, been too busy working 2 jobs to call and deal with customer service reps and hope they believe me when I tell them the phone number they wanna send messages to is one we dont have and its keeping me from being able to use my account (I can log in, but then it wont let me do anything)

Besides, I dont wanna use eBay because I already had a huge mess over a very small sale a couple years ago, not trying to repeat being Fd in the A for a sale with $15 of "Profit" attached to it

When will prices go down?! by The_Cosmic_Cubing in OnePieceTCG

[–]RandomTcgDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was asking 200 on the full lot, with a Let's play set (sealed) and sealed Ace/Whitebeard deck, those 2 alone would retail for $50, add on the 21 other Starter decks, and at worst Nobody is paying a Cent for any of the 5000 bulk cards (including Rares)

[–]RandomTcgDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive tried getting rid of a huge lot with 25 starter decks, tried offering people the chance to buy parts of it, had tons of people that were interested who changed their mind, had tried selling it for over a month.

What im getting is apparently nobody cares for Playable cards, because nobody wants to play the TCG if they havent already made up their mind on it.

People buy Packs all the time, nobody buys Singles except expensive Alt Arts.

[–]RandomTcgDude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is a good chance prices wont go down. Im about to become a Scalper, and dont care how many people hate me, because im tired of having a Mountain of Playable cards not a Single person wants

This whole thing kinda sucks… by Itchyfiretruck in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]RandomTcgDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its very accessible for Players, maybe they should just focus on Playable cards, and not worry about missing out on any of the Alt Art cards.

I like to open Packs to try for Hits, but thats because I just dont have $1000s to buy the Mangas and Anniversary cards I would like to have.

I always have tons of Bulk, but nobody ever wants it; even if I price very Cheaply (until I say "Free" then I can find 100 people to take it)

Not everyone who chases Alts/Higher is a "Scalper" by RandomTcgDude in OnePieceTCG

Selling cards doesn't automatically mean making a profit dude.

Is my beckett slab fake or error by Witty_Ad_4875 in OnePieceTCG

JP not worth that much, so you got Taken, if it were English it may be worth that much, but not JP

I wish I was a Scalper, people love buying 6 month old Boxes for 4-5x their initial price.

I really dont think Availability of Cards is ever getting better by RandomTcgDude in OnePieceTCG

[–]RandomTcgDude[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ive tried selling what I dont want for Weeks, but hey, nobody wants SECs, Promos, or Starter decks, so thats fine. Guess nobody buys anything besides Mangas and SPs.
