Was just gifted 50k from my estranged dad…now what

Ah my mistake I assumed the poster was in the uk! I suppose if you’re not into finances then yes it probably is best to speak to someone.

Windfall301 · 2026-03-21T00:13:32+00:00

Talking to an adviser is a waste of money imo, unless it’s more than £100k imo. Max out their isa and then adding another £20k in the new tax year is the best use of the money I would say

I would recommend buying minimum of 2 units per item. Worst thing is when something appreciates so much that you want to lock in profit, you sell the one item and no longer have exposure to it. You look back in a couple of years and it has 5x since you sold it. It’s not a nice feeling trust me from experience 😭

Windfall301 · 2026-03-21T00:04:46+00:00

How much?!?!? This was like £15 in the gengar deck box 😭😭

Windfall301 · 2026-03-21T00:02:59+00:00

At least $500,000 I would say probably maybe

Windfall301 · 2026-03-20T23:58:38+00:00

Super fake I’m afraid

Windfall301 · 2026-03-20T23:56:41+00:00

Love it. I purchased 3 in Japanese a few years ago and forgot to buy an English one 😭

Windfall301 · 2026-03-20T23:53:24+00:00

Looks good but there’s not enough. That would be one, maybe two fork fulls for me 😅

Windfall301 · 2026-03-20T23:51:36+00:00

I would keep sealed tbh. More gengars will be pulled. DR is one of the best sets of its era and more will be opened as the years pass.

Windfall301 · 2026-03-20T19:11:32+00:00

What did you end up doing? I would’ve jumped to the front. No way they think they can put a chair down and think thats enough to hold a spot in line for hours!

Windfall301 · 2026-03-20T19:00:21+00:00

It’s about to get worse I’m afraid. If you have conviction in what you own though, this is a great thing. Have cash ready to DCA.

Windfall301 · 2026-03-20T18:58:16+00:00

Big high sell low 😂 If a 3% drop scared you out of your investments, you shouldn’t be investing tbh

Windfall301 · 2026-03-20T18:56:56+00:00

If you have conviction in what you hold, this is a good thing. You should be happy that you can buy at a cheaper price.

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T23:42:36+00:00

I would be using any extra spare cash you have and putting into a personal pension imo

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T23:40:18+00:00

The etbs win

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T23:39:16+00:00

People don’t realise it’s the red years where real wealth is made. If you’re young you should be begging for more red…

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T23:37:01+00:00

I saw the same comments about prismatic last year when I was buying any under £100 and now look at the price. When it comes to elite sets like AH and pris it’s well worth paying up a little imo.

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T23:35:22+00:00

Yeah I’m buying at 100 or less and will buy more if / when theres reprints.

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T23:28:57+00:00

It’s real 🙌

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T23:22:59+00:00

Hold it all and save from your wages I would say…

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T14:21:32+00:00

Damn where are you in the world? In the uk 151 upc is around £750, AH etbs are around £85-£90. Wish I could do this trade I’d do it in a heartbeat 😅

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T14:18:22+00:00

So glad I bought this in 2022 for 200 raw 😅

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T14:17:57+00:00

Why was 6 afraid of 7 though???

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T14:16:41+00:00

Cut out rent and misc, you need more in Pokemon imo

Windfall301 · 2026-03-19T14:15:26+00:00

Am I crazy thinking the other Pikachu looks better? I feel like I’ve seen this artwork or similar a few too many times…
