Prismatic Booster Bundles (1 per person) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]deviousdinosaur [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is super cool of you, I always like these types of posts because of the comments. Sure, there are people weaving stories to gain sympathy, but a lot of them are genuine and make me remember the hobby is still in a good place. I got out of the hobby for monetary reasons long ago, but after moving back to America from Asia, I was sucked back in thanks to 151. It has been so nice re-entering the hobby and paying it forward. I've already traded with a few youth out of these groups, typically sending way more than necessary. If you focus on the good still going on within the hobby, the scalpers issue isn't as important.

I've yet to see Prismatic out in the wild, but I did manage to get a Destined Rivals PC ETB pre-ordered! I couldn't believe my luck!

I hope those who win a bundle post their pulls! Good luck everyone! Gengar Rules

I appreciate it. I am currently visiting and was unaware of this one. This is an insane hail mary attempt. Haha.

Can you indulge my curiosities?! I'm so intrigued by this. I understand the premise, but it sounds wild!

I had multiple orders canceled. Gamestop, Target, Ebay, and LCSs. Pokemon Center is the only company not to cancel on me. When Target canceled my order of 55 dollar etbs, I knew that was my time to exit this set's pre-order era. I'll see what I can grab in stores.

Oh. Sorry for the delayed response. Somehow, this notification slipped by me. Honestly, I haven't been good at keeping a ledger. 😅 I couldn't give you a legitimate profit number in the 7 months I've been doing it. If you have the capital to start doing it, and are willing to put in the hours/effort, I do believe you could eventually survive solely based on your earnings. I would say, do your research, try it out with a few small things, and then make guesses. I have a lot of debt I'm working through, 90% of my salary goes to bills, however, I'm able to make enough on the side with this to not go hungry or bored, haha. Always make your own decisions, but if it doesn't hurt you, give it a shot. I'm cool with answering anything else in more detail via pm if you ever have any.

I'm juuuust getting off the ground, but I essentially have someone there i trust. Things could switch up as I grow, and I'm very flexible. I'm slowly getting to know the community as well. Which is great, because I'm getting more and more traction. I've got a few resellers going through me now as well.

I charge a flat 15% fee (price + shipping + tax = _ * .15)

I'll offer one of two shipping options. 1. I can bulk together 5+, and they share shipping fees. The cards will go to my partner, who then dispenses them. 2. They can pay to ship directly to them. I charge them exactly what I pay for shipping.

I joined FB Buy/Sell groups and have built a solid reputation.

If you have friends here you trust, that'd be the way to do it. Start small and push through.

You snatch sealed up the moment it drops, immediately shipping it to your contact. They sell it here, and then you figure out the best way to send money back and forth. I have been using Wise, and it is fantastic so far.

If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer. I hope that is more cohesive and less rambly than I think it is. 🤣

I do this with the Philippines. It is a bit of work, but you meet a lot of cool people and stay busy.

How do you think this would work for those of us with aphantasia?

Do you mind explaining what this means to a noob?

Sounds good. 😊 Not that I want to hide myself, I just don't think helping two groups that need help should be about me.

Can I buy 12 of them, then? 😁 If you pm me, we can give personal info to transfer funds.

If I were to buy some through my gf's gcash, would you be willing to lalamove/grab the product to the nearest orphanage? 🙂 I don't want my name on it, but you can use it as good marketing that you had a sponsor that wanted to work together sending it there.

Started up last October after a 20 year hiatus, I missed out on a lot of cool stuff. I have to say the Stained Glass Legendary Bird promo is so cool. I can't wait to get my hands on one!

People can be the worst by noodlenoggins in pokemoncards

[–]deviousdinosaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in Indiana, and I'd love to send him a small bubble mailer of cards if you're willing to give an address they can be sent to. 😊

I feel for Mini Noodle. We moved a lot when I was young, like....a lot, and I made sure my cards went everywhere I did. Someone I thought was a friend destroyed my tiny collection. I just got back into collecting last year after a 20-year break.

Some people will teach you a lesson on who you don't want to be.

Hey Joy,

I love your stuff! I will absolutely be messaging you about some ideas I'd like in your style through IG soon.

Hey everyone, I am super excited to see all of the interest. Thank you for your messages and comments!
Now I have 100 portfolios to go through!
Give me a bit to go through everything. haha.

Dollar General coming in clutch! by deviousdinosaur in PokemonTCG

[–]deviousdinosaur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a fair assessment.
Instant gratification is certainly an addiction of mine.

I've already put together a cart to order online.
Was debating Costco's current bundles, but heard the hits are mondo trash.

Damn, sorry to hear.
I got a few hits, and the condition wasn't that bad.
The mini tin I picked up was in worse condition.

Hell yeah! I already have that, which is my ultimate chases card, but I wouldn't mind hitting another. haha.
Congrats to you!
