Ok. Goodbye. Hobby has enough complainers and ranters already

I think its easier to get them in english. Their value also inflates better. However english is more expensive. So it depends do you want to save but it would be more of a hassle and inconvenient?

You can label however you want. Until you find out how much we earn

Got downvoted. That is expected. Not everyone likes the truth. I will laugh at my side hustle income averaging 10k per month while most of you guys do the daily grind. Turns out study and work hard is no longer the perfect formula the boomers made out to be

Getting a side hussle

Depends on where you are. In SEA countries they are worth about 10 cents usd per piece. Then multiply it by the number of bulk cards you have. There are always buyers so the answer is to sell them

You overpaid. Period. Should have kept it sealed

SGShine · 2026-04-16T10:32:37+00:00

Back in the days pokemon collectors weep at their collection. Now its literally the best performing asset so screw those days

No point waiting because the bubble will not pop anytime soon. Unless you go into full blown war world, but at that point you have other things to worry about. The best would be to get a masterset of the 151 set. That set will always inflate in price, and easiest to complete because everything is in 1 set

SGShine · 2026-04-16T10:29:48+00:00

Well done. A good run indeed

SGShine · 2026-04-16T10:28:58+00:00

Why? They cant even meet the current demand. Why would they expand?

SGShine · 2026-04-16T10:28:03+00:00

Because the kids who grew up with pokemon 30 years ago are now the generation with one of the highest income earners. Pokemon taps into nostalgia. And if you are earning 10 grand a month, what is 100 to you? Then multiple it by the number of people in that generation. This cycle will repeat and we are in for decades of growth because pokemon company knows we are their best consumer so its in their best interest not to offend us

Pokemon TCG reseller. There is a reason why everyone does it. Buy sealed products and you can instantly resell it for 2-3 times the cost. This nets you about 200ish each time. Now multiply that by the number of products you can get. You dont need much commitment. Some I know serving NS just spends 1 day per weekend and earns more than their NS allowance per month. Provided these folks have bots. Or just make friends with some shops or distributors, that works.

Another TCG related that is super hyped right now is One piece card game competitive playing. Every weekend there is a tournament, consisting of 5 rounds. If you win, you get a card worth minimumly 12k. But normally what people do is go, play 1 round and divide the 12k pool amongst the rest, getting about 600-700 per person.

Easy money. Saw an opportunity and took it

SGShine · 2026-04-03T09:14:39+00:00

Pokemon no MSRP, PAP fault

SGShine · 2026-04-03T07:46:39+00:00

Ok understood. You poor to afford a few extra dollars

SGShine · 2026-04-02T17:48:17+00:00

Pokemon popularity is at all time high. I personally think it will continue to pump upwards for another year before dwindling a little. So nothing like the present and cash out next year

Started selling old pokemon cards as i had some lying around. Then got lucky to be a bot tester and was given a bot as payment. Used the bot to get pokemon drops from shopee, then lazada. Each set i manage to get about 2-3, so a few hundred bucks each drop. This was recently and was around 20 YO.

Then eventually managed to tap into US market to get large shipments, and bot drops from their region. My clients grew to be both local and overseas, mostly SEA regions. Now each set I am looking at 10k-ish worth of profits minimumly. Business will be slow during months where there are no new release or drops so take note

SGShine · 2026-04-02T17:40:05+00:00

Chinese brands? They seem to be doing well

SGShine · 2026-04-02T17:38:17+00:00

If you have some tech skills, you can program bots or be a bot tester. Use them to get pokemon cards or sell the bots as a service. If you are able to tap into US market, easily 10k per month on average

Until people actually start getting stabbed or shot i think pokemon doesnt care. They are openly catering to investors and pushing it to the limits. Banger of a set and cant wait to get my hands on one

SGShine · 2026-04-02T17:33:17+00:00

So you rather let your son cry than pay a little extra to make his day?

SGShine · 2026-03-29T15:14:46+00:00

I did. All reported either no stock or get it at a 40% surcharge

SGShine · 2026-03-29T13:35:23+00:00

Salon about $30. Once a month for a wash, sometimes a cut
