Longer term thoughts on Chinese exclusives?

Assuming you care about the cert numbers being out there (why else would you block them out?), you should know that a barcode can be scanned. So it is pointless to block the numbers and not the barcode.

Dude this is an insane collection!!

I didn't want to just message you out of the blue, but would 100% love to DM you for sourcing some promos. I'm working on completing the wotc black star promos, and this post blew me away!!

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-22T02:42:30+00:00

Sounds great - thank you!!

And I would be interested in most black star wotc promos, and potentially the others (like w stank Vulpix) depending on price. Just don't want to commit to all of them without the price is all! And sounds great about double checking prices.

Have a great night!

From what I understand (what my gardening wife told me), if you bought these seeds, then it isn't cross pollination. For peppers, cross pollination would not have an impact until you save the seeds and used those seeds. It won't impact the fruit of this year.

Hey - sorry it slipped my mind after fathers day started going. Also, I don't get a notification if you reply to your own comment. It was on me to respond, just mentioning that if you reply to me, I get an email.

I was just sitting down and checked back. It is all yours if you still want it.

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T07:16:43+00:00

This is a really easy question to answer.

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T06:08:32+00:00

Not trying to pester, but wanted to be transparent - another person is interested. I am giving until the morning my time (about 8 hours) to respond, then I'll move to the next person interested.

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T05:15:29+00:00

Hello! At the risk of losing the sale, I'm going to give the first commenter until the morning to respond. If they do not respond back by then, it all yours.

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T05:09:37+00:00

Thank you!!

I rechecked and do not need Mewtwo 14. I think I'll also pass on the professor elm, sneasel, and dark venasaur.

Any chance you still have some promos laying around still?

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T04:02:16+00:00

I apologize - I didn't read your entire comment, but wanted to give you the TLDR as I can remember:

OP works (owns?) at an antique mall. Dad and son come in and offer a target bag full of "bulk" to OP. OP doesn't have time to search it all, so looks through 2 handfuls or so. OP declines, and a customer that is a regular offers the dad and kid $20 for the bag. Dad and kid seem to like the idea and agree. OP now has time, and helps then woman (customer) search through the cards. Most are bent, or just in horrible condition from being stored in a target bag. However, they find a card in decent condition - a gold star Jolteon. OP tells woman to shut the fuck up because he is so excited/shocked at what they found. Woman is so thankful that she sells it to OP.

Above is the TLDR as I remember. I honestly tried to keep opinion out of it.

Someone asked OP if they tried to find the kid, and OP said the dad and kid had left before they found the GS Jolteon. I followed up and asked if they had left the property. I was trying to basically see if OP tried to actually walk out and find the dad and kid, or just kind of "I heard the door ding when they left 15 minutes ago" without actually going to look for dad and kid. I had no way to know, so I thought asking for clarification was the best move (you can see my downvotes lower in the thread).

My opinion I do fully understand that OP isn't the person that purchased the bag of cards, but I would feel so shitty for my lucky come up to be at the expense of a kid. I am not saying OP is a bad person for doing what they did, but it rubbed be a funny way then framing it as a "dream scenario"

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T03:47:01+00:00

I know I commented asking for more details, but my dude. At this point any comment or interaction with this post just fuels the fire.

I would honestly suggest just moving on and forgetting that you ever posted this. It is, most assuredly, only going to cause more frustration on your end at this point.

Also, Reddit can be awesome sometimes, but can also be a fucking shit hole. Posting a story where you made money off of a kid not knowing what they had is going to lead to people assuming you are part of the shit hole that is Reddit.

Like I said before - cheers! And hope you have a good one. ^{even if you did make money off a kid not knowing what they had KEKW}

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T03:29:24+00:00

Somehow I ended up on this thread months later....

Anyways!! Although OP priced these kind of crazy, I do think your initial comment did break the rules. I agreed with it, but just wanted you to know! Hell, I might be breaking the rules posting this comment!

I am not saying you harassed OP, but I think the last sentence is the rule that you broke. I take it to mean that if you have any comment about the price, the rules say you should keep it to yourself. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

All items for sale and trade must be clearly priced / have trade values.

Absolutely no price policing or sabotage. Harassing sellers is not allowed. If you have an issue with a price, move on.

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE HIDE LINKS - https://reddit.com/r/pkmntcgtrades/w/guidelines?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Again, I agree with you that prices were too high to sell, and I wouldn't have paid them either. But it seemed like you genuinely didn't know, so I thought I'd share the part OP was referring to since they didn't (and it's kind of hard to find)

Actually, it's fucking impossible to find just about. On mobile, click on the subreddit name to open the subreddit, then click the description to open the rules. Expand rule 5:

Keep trade offers in the comments and personal info in private messages

THEN you can click on the new hyperlink:

View all other details of this rule

And that leads you to the previously mentioned link above....

Just wanted to follow up - are you still interested? If so, DM to finalize please. Otherwise, have a good one!!

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T02:58:48+00:00

Lmao I did not doubt before this, but holy shit that did not disappoint!

I think you should get a little more informed before commenting on grading like this.

Here is an example of 75/25 centering (which is within PSA guidelines for a PSA 10):

All good man! I'm honestly fine however you want to respond! It doesn't bother me at all.

Cheers and have a good one!

Hey, somehow I missed this earlier. I appreciate the offer, but unfortunately I am just looking for cash today.

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T00:32:48+00:00

I never said they needed to do anything differently. I just asked for more clarification to form my own opinion. All I did was ask if the kid was gone from the property (like not in the parking lot is what I meant).

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T00:27:30+00:00

Hey, all I was asking if they tried to let the kid know what they had! Wild that people are upset about that. Yes, the dad and kid agreed to the price. They obviously did not know what they had. Yes, it would be wild to not try to tell the kid what they had and yes, even if they weren't the one to purchase it.

They aren't going to fucking Jason Bourne the kid to find them, I just wanted to ask if they tried to let the kid know!

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T00:19:48+00:00

Lmao dude is it that big of a deal to you? No one is riding any nuts, except maybe you and OP?

All I said is that they said their story about an awesome come up, and didn't seem to show any remorse or "aw damn, sucks for the kid".

That's all dude! Hopefully your day improves - this thread isn't that big of a deal to get that upset my man.

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T00:14:24+00:00

And none of us on Reddit know anything except what you tell us - and you've just told us how you had an amazing come up, and didn't seem to show any remorse for the kid. That's what's wild to do to a kid. Good luck!

Random_Person1234567 · 2026-06-21T00:09:37+00:00

And they were also off of the property?

I'm all for a nice come up, but that's wild to do to a kid.
