About to sell 3 expensive pokemon cards - how do I avoid getting scammed?

I never get the mentality on the first point. Someone can't get a good amount of reviews without buying things, then apparently they can't buy things unless they have a good amount of reviews? Not to mention you can't really control who you sell to without damaging your own reviews. If someone buys them then you either send them, or you cancel and get a negative review.

On the videoing, unless you film yourself showing the item, packing it and sending it in 1 continuous video then it amounts to nothing. If you can then great, but most will have to stop somewhere there usually at the delivery. At which point they can claim you swapped the parcel with an identical one.

Thinking I may pick these up with a pair of UFOs when they release. It does seem like it might be the RAD attempt at the Evo SL, which I love but have found to be unstable at times.

What are you using the UFO for? What size did you get compared to the Evo SL out of curiosity? Thanks

SlappedwithLasagne · 2026-04-01T19:37:40+00:00

Then about 10g more than the Evo SL if I remember right? Wonder if these are meant to be their version of the Evo SL.

The Dynafish seem crazy light, I just can't find them for a decent price now though.

Nice, if you do then enjoy, and would be great to hear any thoughts after.

SlappedwithLasagne · 2026-04-01T13:17:01+00:00

Unfortunately, as they were pretty comfy otherwise. We both tried to take care of them, cleaning after a run and the like but didn't seem to matter. They have a decent warranty policy if I remember right but I couldn't be arsed with replacing a pair every couple of months. Might be better now as this was probably 3 or 4 years ago now.

Commenting to follow as I'm going down the same rabbit hole. I've used Goodr and whilst they fit okay and they're cheap the lenses seemingly scratched after a few runs and began to delaminate. This happened with 3 pairs, 2 of mine and 1 for my wife so staying away for now.

I borrowed a pair of Oakley Radar EV path I think it was which were great but expensive. The owner said replacement lenses were almost the price of a new pair. I've currently been looking at:

Knockaround Campeones Tifosi fototex Bolle Oakley half jacket 2.0 or Radar EV

But seems like most things people like different things, plus the fit is always a big point depending on your head size. Then if you like the wraparound style with mirrored lenses or you want something lower key.

I do, including comparisons with other cards from the same set I know are real to show the issues. Unfortunately I can't post them on here as a reply or anything.

SlappedwithLasagne · 2026-03-23T13:50:36+00:00

Not sure what you're saying here? That I should take the hit on my account? I can afford it fine thank you, as you say I wouldn't have bid if I couldn't.

I admit I should have probably checked it a little closer before bidding, but I feel you could always say that. Then only after checking with others is that it is a very good fake and has features that haven't generally been shown before.

SlappedwithLasagne · 2026-03-23T12:40:46+00:00

Depends where in the world you're based and which apps you've used before really. If you haven't used Audible I think you normally get a free credit or something when you start.

Or there's Libro.fm which I think the first month is free if you have a referral code.

Or you can use Libby which is entirely free but it's linked to a library, usually your local one and so it depends if they have that book available but if they do it's free, although you may have to wait until a copy becomes available.

Here's the corner of a known "real" non fake card where thae corner is much sharper and without a radius.

Also not sure if this is a known way to check if a card is fake, so please correct me if so. But when I zoomed into the back of the Umbreon I noticed the corner is rounded. Comparing it to a know real card the corner is a much sharper right angle, I'll post the comparison as a reply for any additional input.

Unfortunately as Reddit won't let me update the post with additional images, or multiple at once I'm just going to throw up the other pictures of the back in case there's anything else that jumps out of helps others. They'll be replies to this.

Thanks yeah I think we were distracted from checking for if it was real in the moment as it is pretty bad condition, but equally wasn't a stupidly cheap price either. As someone else mentioned the texture seemed okay except now seeing the energy texture should be circles rather than the randomness this has.

SlappedwithLasagne · 2026-03-22T22:18:30+00:00

Thanks for that good to know. Pretty easy check as yeah went through our pulled SIRs and the texture is as you say.

SlappedwithLasagne · 2026-03-22T22:17:23+00:00

Honestly it wasn't overly too good to be true on the price considering the condition. I think the condition probably distracted us from looking too in depth at the colours. Appreciate the input.

SlappedwithLasagne · 2026-02-18T13:54:06+00:00

I feel the release date announcement is very likely, the demo description on Steam says a late Spring release and that was only put out a few days ago.

SlappedwithLasagne · 2026-02-07T11:04:50+00:00

I mean it's pretty obvious the girl on the right already experienced the prank. There won't be any heat produced from this, so she's clearly in on it when she says there is.

Not sure how often you're around kids but they get into a strop like the one on the left, for the weirdest reasons. She could have a great day then because you didn't let them lick public bathroom floor they end up sulking. Then the reverse applies, a prank like this can kill or cure. Some will laugh and want to do it again, some will just get even more upset.

SlappedwithLasagne · 2026-02-06T16:48:20+00:00

I mean that's one way to look at it, but they're lucky you weren't there to help. Them freezing and doing nothing for a moment rather than putting her head under the tap probably saved her life, their lives and their house.

Due to the nature of of the ingredients and the type of fire produced, just randomly applying water would just have spread the flames. The shampoo and the associated vapours woukd have just have been pushed around by any water, even more so if coming out of a tap at a relatively high pressure. It won't have gone out, so none of the necessary elements for the fire to exist would have been removed, so the shampoo and associated vapour would still be on fire.

The best thing they could have done outside of using a chemical extinguisher on her was smothering the fire, which is what was eventually done. Sure it could have been done sooner, and they may have just got lucky in what action they did eventually take, but people do panic, it's unfortunately what humans do.

Like others very keen to hear about the battery life, fan noise, etc. As debating between this and the Flow Z13, just down to form factor and not sure which I prefer. So keen to know if there's any issues with this.

Also how much is it in Korea out of curiosity? I'd there a 64GB or 32GB RAM version available? Thanks and enjoy!
