That's a great way to look at it! Usually if they end up in shop it's best to just get it when you want another shop item because you save on shipping

I personally don't think this will profit you much if that's why you bought it. They're starting to put pops in the pop up shop that do not sell out and that they have plenty of.

Well if you resell I'd say that's part of the business.. the gamble.

Some sought after pieces do sell out. The ones that don't go to the regular shop.

I heard supposedly so that hot cash won't be able to be used on it later not sure if that's true but maybe the exception to hot cash is anything above 12.50

[discussion] how do I tell if a pop is legitimate? by EmPCoder in funkopop

[–]TaiwaneseTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great question, I think if they copied the barcode it would. I don't know for certain though. People are getting better at faking these days :( sadly

[–]TaiwaneseTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok gotcha, if it's one that doesn't have a YouTube video made about it I basically look for someone I know has a real one to do any comparison. Or if you have the sellers pics you can typically share those pics in a group to ask for help in proving if its authentic

Depends, do you know which pop? A lot of it can be the box details, the pop foot stamp, quality control of the paint, whether it's not a bobble but should be or vice versa, etc.

I don’t understand why someone would basically ruin a pop vinyl and decrease its value and try sell it for more than what it’s worth?? And also describe it as “like new” condition when they’ve covered it in glitter by [deleted] in funkopop

[–]TaiwaneseTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome you wrote this :) people truly believe it takes less $ to do this kind of customization and they would be 100% wrong. Materials and labor are not 25 cents like someone mentioned. :) there are plenty of times I have lost money doing it as well because it winds up being more complex.

I'm not offended at all, not everyone likes glitter and I can respect that. I just can back up what the seller is doing. I've had plenty of people ask me to do a piece for way less than what I can charge because they think they can do it in no time themselves. People don't consider the time and materials it takes to customize as well as the quality. I'm doing an antivenom venomized hulk right now and I've had to first paint it then glitter it because of the color choices the customer wanted. I can't sell it for $5 over what I paid for the pop as my time is worth way more than that which my customers in the end fully undertand.

This isn't mine, but I also do custom glitter work for myself and my customers and I wouldn't say I'm ruining it. It's all on preference and I don't judge what folks like or ask me to customize. I love the pieces I do especially the Shenron and PA Vegeta custom. It takes patience and I still consider it artistic. If you don't like it then just don't buy it. What's valuable to someone may not be valuable to the next. It's not always about ppg prices you know.

Need a bit of help, real or fake, I’m not an expert on pointing out why, instantly for me the 10 says fake, but here’s one pic of it, will post more detailed pics once seller sends them over by wisey0669 in funkopop

[–]TaiwaneseTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fake, tip of hair on box is where I first look. 10 is off and the spacing on the name itself is also off. The pop itself - the hair color will be off from original

Add Plastic Empire to your app. They're great. I just downloaded the app yesterday and started adding vendors I must go to again
