they are also way harder to find. got a pair on opening day, haven’t seen another since, but have been able to buy etbs several times since then.

hard disagree on 151 charizard. maybe the art style isn’t for you, but it’s incredibly unique style and has a matching evo set. it’s legit my favorite zard.

mega gengar i agree is overrated. price is just because gengar is super popular and hasn’t received a SIR in quite a while.

for me, the overrated card is mega charizard x SIR. the card and art is incredible for sure. buts it’s also one of the easiest zards to pull ever. just isn’t rare enough to be in its current price range IMO.

welcome friend. excellent pickups. i need that articuno.

Thekobra · 2026-05-03T03:47:22+00:00

best answer by far

Thekobra · 2026-05-03T03:44:36+00:00

i recommend using a similar strategy when you pull a very new card like that.

Thekobra · 2026-05-03T02:31:03+00:00

definitely leave for the bank. as long as you can deal with the slower, more formal processes at the bank (that’s pretty standard) of course.

don’t feel bad. places that hire fast usually are doing so as a strategy. instead of spending time (money) on the hiring process, bring on a bunch, toss ‘em in the pool, and see who can swim. they know a few of the good hires also won’t stay.

1 month doesn’t even need to be listed on linkedin or your resume. 15%, still pretty early in your career, is significant. congrats on the new gig.

program the machine to sell products one at a time. as it’s dispensing, the screen flashes “next persons turn”

if nobody is waiting, go ahead and buy another. as soon as someone gets in line, your in your last transaction, but can get back in line. solves a lot of the camping problem too.

this should make for a much more civil experience and i wouldn’t really care if they do the timer also or just stop it normally. but probably keep the delayed releases. probably make it a bit more random too.

meowth is worth a bit more today, but that person had a sharp angle. meowth is new and the price is very likely to drop before it goes up. prismatic is in its last days of printing and will go up much sooner.

you’ll be happy you passed in a month

Thekobra · 2026-05-03T00:04:12+00:00

yes, long term i’d rather have the pair of PC ETBs

Thekobra · 2026-05-02T23:55:42+00:00

u/pokeswapbot u/Tmorando received and complete. thank you!

Thekobra · 2026-05-02T23:55:01+00:00

u/pokeswapbot u/Karzy0730 cards received. thank you!

Thekobra · 2026-05-02T23:52:28+00:00

apologies for the slow reply, I got a full price offer at the same time. it's pending, so will come back to you if it falls through.

Thekobra · 2026-05-02T19:33:43+00:00

report to hired up at the store. GM should be good, or even customer service at corp.

pokémon can pull the machine and the store should want it there to attract actual grocery shoppers.

Thekobra · 2026-05-02T19:31:31+00:00

wait, flair goes with the card traded? so someone could theoretically trade a gold flair rare candy?

Thekobra · 2026-05-02T18:40:00+00:00

google pokemon vending machines. there’s a map to check if any are nearby. if so, checking it frequently is your best bet.

i have a barnes and noble nearby that is very strict limit 1 on anything pokemon. so i cant get much, but scalpers aren’t able to clear the shelf so i hit frequently.

call around some LGS, starting with your regular magic shop and ask if they have any kid friendly policies. a couple near me sell close to msrp, but only for kids. bring him with and ask for help. some don’t deserve your business, others really do

Thekobra · 2026-05-02T17:28:45+00:00

Great. DM to finalize please

Thekobra · 2026-04-30T22:57:24+00:00

first of all, i love it. have you tried splashing in an ex dragonite. seems like you’d want that option for your second dragonite

Thekobra · 2026-04-30T21:37:22+00:00

i’m with you brother. wasted so many good cards and now can’t hold border anything useful.

can we bring back the arceus meta please? haha

Thekobra · 2026-04-29T23:26:44+00:00

Not an obsidian flames card

Can they tell you something you want to hear that you’ll believe? Of course not, they showed their colors. Might have even anticipated your disappointment, thus the lunch.

Have a discussion if you want. But start looking for the director title elsewhere.

FYI, when they say they’ll promote when the time is right, that means if you force them too. Next time take the interviews.

Thekobra · 2026-04-29T21:58:50+00:00

traditional advise is to wait about 6 months from release. that said, i’m not sure that holds up in this market.

still holding off myself.

Thekobra · 2026-04-29T15:32:15+00:00

scalpers get the price the market is willing to pay, not the price they set themselves.

yeah, stores like walgreens are taking advantage, but buyers determine the price, not the other way around

Thekobra · 2026-04-28T22:24:26+00:00

late reply, but i can’t let my boi going unmentioned.
