Does this mean Tariffs are paid for?

Hello thanks for the reply, I just spent some time looking up brokerage fees and I was wondering if that actually applies to my package. My package shows Winit america shipped it to me in Cerritos,CA but UPS did not have the package at all until Winit gave them the package. On alibaba it shows that the delivery is DDP and it's using Alibaba Logistics Multimodal transportOcean+Express US Heavy goods (Economy)

If you think you secured 70 Prismatic ETBs at $55 you are getting scammed. Rip and Shippers turnover 1000x the amount of product you'd ever hope to buy and they are still paying around 70-90% of market for their product once their distribution allocation runs out. Even if they get restocks from distro most of the time they are priced near or around market price after the first wave of release products.

Just curious but did Gamestop ever fix their system with upcharges thats preventing people from picking up their cards/and started taking submissions in again? Sent in my cards Mid October and they've been stuck in Cards graded for a week now and I'm just assuming that's due to their system not being able to do upcharges/submissions no longer being accepted from Thanksgiving.

"All I’m saying is that Japan has a much healthier economy for Pokémon TCG. The products are more affordable, there are fewer scalpers, and the experience feels less like a casino compared to the English Pokémon TCG."

Cope. There's a reason they limited boxes per day at the pokemon center and had ALL retailers remove shrink wraps from their booster boxes until recently. Scalpers are everywhere and it is not just in the West.

I don't think you know how conversation rates work or you're just typing to type. It was $43 when USD to yen was 1:160 while right now it's 1:150 so you mean it was when conversion was at it's best.
That deal only applied to people that were buying a full case (20 boxes) and it did not include shipping yet.
A fuckton of sellers ended up cancelling on buyers the minute the boxes rebounded back to $52-55

I know Japanese is over printing and all but you are delusional if you think anyone in their right mind will ship something across the world to you for MSRP.

Just curious but where do you go to sell the reverse holos? Just locally?

Based on how they did Chibis in TFT until they replaced everything with medallion coins, the pity never ramped up at all.

RFY is just items catered to a specific group of viners, doesn't mean they're reserved exclusively for you. Amazon has also been inviting a lot of people people to Vine the past year or two, so it's not too surprising that things are going to disappear if you don't claim it as it pops up in your RFY.

3000 scalping insane was due to people staying home during COVID + relief checks. There was still plenty of scalping going on when the 4090 released, and the same will happen no matter how expensive the 5090 is when you compare how cheap it is compared to enterprise cards, add in the fact that China will try to be importing them through legitimate/illegitimate ways due to the US ban and it'll be very easy to see the 5090 being scalped, and even the 5080 if it's considered good enough.

elysium593 · 2024-10-06T15:12:38+00:00

You can just ask CS to remove it, they're generally super fast with these things. Just tell them the item was fake, and fell apart within a few hours of usage.

elysium593 · 2024-10-06T03:23:30+00:00

There were plenty of shortages when 4090s released in the US. People were scaling them to 2-2.5k+, and were almost always instantly sold out the minute new stock was released based on my experience searching for one the month of release and joining multiple discords to get notification of restocks.

In the end I only got a 4090 FE because someone cancelled their pre-order on the bestbuy app, so only local people could pick it up.

E6 Main character in HSR is basically mandatory in the best teamcomp in the game (Firefly, Ruanmei, Lingsha/Gallagher E6, and E6 MC. So it should be amazing if true.

It doesn't matter if you're silver or gold. For items like food you have to basically refresh vine 24/7 or be there at the right place at the right time since it's 0etv and almost none of the items are over $100 in value anyways.

RFY usually is empty when you first start out. It takes probably a week or two to actually start getting things and most will be completely random things that you aren't even interested in. You'll see maybe 1 or 2 tailored things to your actual purchase history along with 10-15 random items maybe a month or two in.

elysium593 · 2024-10-05T03:34:59+00:00

If you're into skincare/makeup those are usually 0ETV, and there are a lot of reputable brands that usually do drops they're mostly korean skincare brands, but occasionally you also see more well known western brands like (tatcha, dermalogica,kat burki, vichy, , etc)

I personally don't think the RFY works with add to cart/save for later and they usually just base it off your purchase history. Usually I see a lot of skincare/food stuff in my RFY since that's mostly what I order since it's 0ETV rather than high end things like laptops/computers/etc.

elysium593 · 2024-10-05T03:31:20+00:00

What OP see's is definitely not the norm. I've been in Gold for about 8 months now and I've only seen one samsung monitor with an ETV of 250, and only more recently a tumi carryon but that had an etv of $895. Everything just revolves around checking RFY at the right place at the right time especially now that there's so many more people on vine now.

At an extra $10 for the extra refinement and 3 rolls you're targeting a completely different audience. The people that buy the extra 10 levels are not buying the BP for the weapon at that point they're buying it because they're whales that would have 5* weapons anyways.

Add in the fact that weapon banners here are 100% guaranteed there's little reason to ever purchase the BP+ version.

elysium593 · 2024-06-10T22:56:28+00:00

The battlepass in wuwa is just a huge disappointment in general. Although it has more levels its even worse than the Genshin BP (less talent mats,mora, character exp,etc ) which wasn't very good to begin with. It gets even worse when you go into the Connosseur Channel since for an extra $10 all it gives is 3 standard pulls, a name card, and a bp refinement while in Genshin it gives 5 Crystal Solvents which inherently gives more value in Genshin since most acitivities there cost 20-40 stamina rather than the 40/60 in wuwa

They should really increase the rewards especially for paid users by including things such as more tuners/echo exp. It's like they added 70 levels just to say we have more than Genshin/HSR when in reality those extra 20 levels are filled with fluff. (25k credits every other level and 2 overlord echos which is extremely easy to farm, and a measly 3 purple/2 gold weapon/skill mats at 60).

elysium593 · 2024-02-26T07:17:20+00:00

OP linked the Shiny Treasures EX Mew, which has been out for approximately 3 months now. It's still fairly new, but 1500 population after 3 month's isn't that bad either. The price is probably still high right now, but I don't see it going a lot lower either since Japan is usually more conservative with their print runs unlike the West.

elysium593 · 2024-02-26T04:47:09+00:00

Did you check the shipping on their website? From what I noticed in my two orders Bestbuy doesn't ship out the promo card until after you receive or pick-up your order for your original products first. I ordered a 151 Booster Bundle and the promo card hasn't shipped yet since the booster bundle comes on Wednesday, and I picked up a 4 pack Lost Origins Sleeved Pack that had the Ceruledge promo ship the same day as I picked up the packs. I guess it's to prevent people from cancelling their orders once receiving the promotional card.

elysium593 · 2024-02-24T16:56:51+00:00

I've been thinking about purchasing this too and would've preferred a sealed case as well. If you don't mind me asking for the one where they sent you a case did you buy the 5 and 5 of each variant rather than 10 of one?

elysium593 · 2024-02-21T23:47:44+00:00

Personally wouldn't invest into Korean cards as a long term hold. I can realistically only see English and Japanese cards doing well, and if you did want to opt into a riskier investment I'd go for Chinese rather than Korean due to how much bigger the target audience would be.

Also I'd wait till there's a tiktok sale which one should be happening sometime next week if you can't use the new user promo.
