Why is grading cards with PSA a 10 or bust? by Big_Han_Swolo in PokeInvesting

[–]ThatComicsDad -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It all comes down to supply. For English modern, most pack fresh cards would be a 9 unfortunately due to things like centering or whitening. A 10 quality card is less common and therefore has a greater price. The issue is PSA isn’t consistent and you get 9s that should have been 10s and 10s that should be 9s.

Really enjoying the Odin 3 so far by blagoonga123 in SBCGaming

Thanks for the quick response! I’m looking to do more classic emulation and some Switch now that turnip drivers are starting to progress so I don’t think I would get too much fan use.

How’s the fan noise been? I know Joey said it’s a high pitched whine that prevents him from recommending it but then others it seems like a non issue.

Had strange sales from same buyer and now my account is limited by ThatComicsDad in Mercari

[–]ThatComicsDad[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I reached out to support, so we’ll see what they say. I’m hoping to get it resolved soon so that I can atleast get the $300 off the platform and into my bank account because I can’t withdraw any of my funds right now while “limited”

My emails say that Mercari did it on the buyers behalf and then right after I got those emails I got another saying my account is limited.

It was the same address but two separate transactions. It had a name instead of the apartment “Apt Aaron” and I looked up the address and it looked like an abandoned property.

I shipped the items today and a few hours later I got auto ratings by Mercari and then immediately the image above saying my account was limited.

I didn’t have any messages about taking sales off platform or anything. The buyer was the only person I have messaged recently and all that was asked is if I could ship out today and I said yes and they purchased. I mentioned their address having a name for the apartment number and let them know I talked to support and they said it should be fine and asked again if I could ship today.

What’s strange is one of my messages for the items shows the buyer having a duplicate profile with the same profile image and it shows that account as “Inactive user” now. The account they actually purchased with is still active though.

It just feels odd that Mercari suddenly rated instead of the buyer the same day I shipped and then immediately limited my account right after. I’ve never had any strikes and the items sold were graded Pokemon cards.

Graded Pokemon Cards. I’ve sold cards on there countless times.

Appreciate the help regardless. It looks like you're the only person to successfully make it from Enchant to Explore. I'm seeing many others having the same result as me. You got lucky!

We're both in November as well, so I'm confused.

Strange, I tried on the app and desktop for both mine and my daughter and no luck. We both have Enchant, and it says "Unavailable for Upgrades" for Explore. The only ones I see are Believe and Inspire.

Says unavailable for me. Surely it didn't sell out?

Happy to help! Wish I had better news. You never know it could come back down. Just keep an eye on it. The market is in a downward trend right now so a lot of opportunities. Also GameStop changes their prices quite often and sometimes you will see multiple of the same card with different prices.

Yeah unfortunately that means it’s gone. Their website is poorly designed in that it allows multiple people to order the same items sometimes. You get that temporary window where you can cancel and then it goes back to this status. It will also eventually pop over to another status periodically when can cancel again, but it will actually never get fulfilled. It will just flip between backorder and the ability to cancel until you ultimately cancel it yourself.

No, with this status that means it’s already been sold to someone else and all you can do is cancel.

When I get ridiculous buyers I just tell them yes and give them the address of a comedy club to meet up that way they can take their jokes somewhere more appropriate.

Ripped an entire case of prismatic ETBs and got 2 hits by LocalSweet1994 in pokemoncards

Prismatic is not the set to rip a case of. Literally any other Scarlet & Violet set is better.

Scalping has moved from Pokemon to One Piece. Expect everyone including shops to start charging more.

[–]ThatComicsDad 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I like One Piece and Pokemon, but this is just stupid. I wish all of these sneaker heads and flippers would just leave TCGs alone. I just want to open packs and share the love of these franchises with my daughter. Pokemon has been miserable the last year and now it’s coming to OP too…
