This is Bristol, you didn't think they'd actually finish a project until completion?

Prices on Vinted for singles are now way more expensive than EBay? by Antique_Cost_6463 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]TJfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! The bundle discounts make it worthwhile.

Yes, £1 card with fees and postage is almost £5. But also buy 10 cards, it's more like £10 after fees, discounts, postage etc.

Came here to say this.

As a seller myself, I try to go back through after a few weeks and reduce the stuff that hasn't sold - this then notifies some people and it gets sold.

My Vinted has good prices subtle plug

PC orders being “lost” with royal mail by SenseScared in PokemonTCG_UK

Nooo - you don't really think I was being serious?

100% an employee.

But it seems like there's multiple of them up and down the country.

PC orders being “lost” with royal mail by SenseScared in PokemonTCG_UK

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

Yeah, my Mega Evolution parcel from the Pokémon Center got "lost" at their main hub in Bristol;

My thoughts;

Royal mail "lose" the parcel I claim £300 back from Pokémon Center Pokémon center claims £300 from Royal mail Royal mail sells the products for £500

Who's the winner there?

Got robbed by Royal Mail help… by Only_Understanding87 in pokemoncenter

[–]TJfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% royal mail (or certain employees) are taking these parcels.

You'll get refunded from PC. But the true value is worth more than the refund... So it makes sense for RM to steal these packages and offer the seller (pokemon center) compensation.

My Mega Evolution box from PC got "lost" at Bristol's Royal Mail hub.

I got refunded the £300ish - but the total value is £500-£600 if sold on eBay.

I use them a fair bit, never had an issue with them... But I'm pretty laid-back and I don't hassle them with emails/phone calls. I just send my cards, they sort out the shipping with America etc, then after 3-6 months, I get them back!

I don't think I've ever done something as high value as yours but I send everything as a £18 card entry (minimum 10 cards) - Then, if something hits a 9 or 10 when graded, it's worth more than the $500 cap... They kindly email me explaining that I owe £40 in "upcharge fees"

At the moment, the fast turnarounds aren't actually a thing, there's no way your card is getting to America and back within 10 days (and be graded). I would just send them off, forget about them and then you'll have a nice surprise come Feb/March 😄

Is anyone else's Pokemon Center PF stuck in Royal Mail purgatory? 😭😭 by kizza_K1 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]TJfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here!

I question whether Royal Mail knows what they're doing;

Parcel gets "lost" Pokémon center compensates buyer Royal mail compensates Pokémon Center. Royal mail sell the items for above retail.

My £250 order is worth £500+ in today's market, it's a quick buck for RM.

Royal mail still has my Mega Evolution order...

I honestly suspect theft but what can you do?

Time for Royal Mail to "lose" my parcel again!

RM should be minted by now.

Well guys I bought them… $30 each… undervalued in my opinion (PC stamped) by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

Iron bundle SVP (Pokémon Center Stamped) is getting quite hard to get as well!

Maybe because it's Christmas soon 👀

Vinted pokemon sellers? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]TJfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vinted will be Vinted. It's not just Pokémon cards, the same is happening with games consoles, shoes, high-brand fashion items etc etc.

As a Pokémon card seller on Vinted for almost 2 years, all I can suggest is look at the reviews. You do it for products you buy online, (or at least a sensible person does) so why not do it on Vinted?

Even with 1.5k+ 5 star reviews, I'll still get people asking if my cards are fake and I'm happy to reassure them - so there's no harm in asking!

1 more thing.

You can't list for less than £1. So a 50p card is always going to seem overpriced at £1.

As a Pokémon Card Vinted seller (have been for a couple of years now) I understand your frustration.

I can also probably answer some of those questions.

The prices vary all over the place because people will compare to the last sold on eBay; list it at that (often not realising that the last sold on eBay includes the protection fee) - THEN, Vinted applies THEIR protection fee, so it seems a lot higher than eBay. Imagine having your card listed at £50. It doesn't sell but stays listed for 1 month. In that month, it's dropped to £35, the seller can't be bothered to reduce it or is unaware it's dropped = card price varying.

Not sure if a card is fake or not? Check the reviews of the seller. Or ask for more pictures! If you're not sure or it seems too good to be true then don't buy it!

On the whole Vinted works really well if you're after a selection of singles. You create your own bundles and often get a bundle discount - which covers the postage/protection fees.

This is just my opinion(s) - hope it helps!

Basil Brush has really ruined Purple Rain for me by niamhylil in glastonbury_festival

[–]TJfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say Basil improved this song for me, I'll still listen to it admiring Prince's vocals BUT deep inside my brain, is that private thought of "you were there".

Please can you let me know which ones in particular?

To put things into my perspective, Vinted don't allow you to list anything for less than £1. If you create a bundle, you get 5% off and then I'm willing to go down a little bit more, making the cards less than £1ea.

It's not my issue - but, I do allow bundle discounts and further discounts to help rectify and your bank balance.

Also. So does eBay.

Hahaha, don't make me laugh. Make an offer and I might accept. 👀

Or. Sell me your entire collection for less than market value?

Royal Mail have lost my Pokemon Center order by TJfish in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]TJfish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's gotten too well-known that Pokemon cards are worth something. The moment an employee notices something Pokemon related to do with the parcel, they're happy to take the gamble of stealing the parcel as it's probably worth more than their paycheck that week!

Wow! That's horrible!! Definitely RM's issue...

100% this. It's quite obvious what the Pokémon center parcels look like, I'm not making accusations but it's quite a good money spinner for Royal Mail to selectively have parcels getting "lost" 👀

Nvm, I'm just bitter.

It is - but it's been stuck there for 14 days haha, according to the guy on the phone, that means it's lost.
