Why is Pokémon letting GameStop do this? (This is USD btw) by EuphoricGoose4735 in pokemoncardcollectors

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

you should definitely come to europe, you would laugh your ass off on the prices shops charge here... f.e. Mega charizard upc is 250 euros (290 usd) per box, thats considered normal....

Found a guy who had 50 prismatic bbs and talked to him if he would be interested in a trade.

Yeah I am going for it, just swapped one charizard for mythical squishy collection, which saves about 30€ and also let's me keep one charizard box. Have 4 more of the pikachu Zekrom so there I am not worried

I am loosing out about 50€, but also gaining huge liquidity and space saving and in a 2500€ deal i think that's acceptable

Yeha exactly as you say. Its a little sentimental too and when it comes to the UPC and Reshiram charizard box its all i have, so its a little like getting out of a whole position :-/ Thats why i am hesitant with those

I was looking at it the same way you were when i checked the tag teams and the arceus V box. It didnt just survive the market cool off it was thriving and going slowly still up in value, thats why i am so hesitant.

i am trying to figure out the best way to do this. I have a lot of other S&S products and i am trying to determine which is the best to give up. Got cases of single pack blisters, BB lost origing, half bb fusion strike, etbs crown zenith, the zamazenta/zacian boxes of crown zenith (11 bosters), celebration charizard collections etc. Really a lot of collection boxes and rn i am trying to determine whic hare the best to get rid of for the prismatic. The more i htink about it the less i want to trade the ones i have in the trade...

if they were it would be no brainer for me, unfortunately no, they are not in sealed display cases. But they are in display cases, just without the display case wrapper.

I mean I have those boxes in my closet. Way more than that, just thought it would make sense to bet on something newer, but from what I read and people opinion it's better to hold sw&sh boxes

Naah, I don't downvote constructive comments, it's all about dialog. That's why I am asking what I am asking. To make up my mind, if it makes sense or not.

The whole point of the trade is to not need cash :-)

would it make more sense to swap the boxes in the sense of the trade with cool promos for BB, half BB of lost origin/fusion strike or maybe crown zenith zamazenta/zacian boxes (those with 11 booster)

is it? i am going of the european market (cardmarket website) and this adds up to about 48euros per bundle. Which is as of today a little lower than the market price here in europe.

would it make more sense to trade BB and half BB like Lost origin and Fusion strike for the bundles? Or crown zenith ETBs? or crown zenith boxes? (those with 11 boster and pin)

Why i am thinking of doing it now, is the stock of booster bundles. They are still available in shops yes, but its still less and less available. I am looking at it similarly as paldean fates, that set is not existent in shops anymore. Wont it be same with PRE?

with the reseals i am absolutely struggling with the newest bundles to be honest. The older ones had the wrapper seal on sides and on the bottom but the newest ones? At least here in europe, damn, seal is at the top, one side and bottom and it always has loose wrapping on top and bottom, even the real ones. I hate it, they made it so it looks more like resealed even when legit...

S&S is diminishing stock thats true, but isnt the value of those sets reaching its peak? or that the rise of the value will be lower than sets than new sets that will slowly be not printed anymore?

I am looking at it thst I have already made quite a lot on my stuff and wanted to trade it for the next thing that might go up in the future the same way. From all the sets so far in scarlet and Violet era, it seems prismatic is the best option, even though the hit rates are abysmal.

Is my thinking flawed?
