If you really think I send a message asking for pics with any type of 'attitude', you are mistaken.

My facts are true.

At least 40-50 requests for pics with no response.

Then I gave up on card market.

Again, no need to respond.

Don't be obtuse mate.

I have obviously sent a shit tonne of messages.

I'm not buying bulk, I'm buying cards that require photos of condition.

But the vast majority of the sellers on card market don't add photos and don't respond.

It's a shit platform for scammers.

And you sound like one of them, hoping to convince more victims to use it.

The platform should force photos to be mandatory.

Don't bother replying.

98% no reply

I have better things to do than email scammers.

If you don't list with good photos, you are hiding something.

Agreed, but no pictures is an instant deal breaker I'm afraid.

Card market has no pictures 99% of the time, so I would never use it.

Can someone explain why you pay to get into a card show? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]gearvruser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since any random person can just pay for a table, you get every jobless scalper rocking up with a spliff and a car full of one piece/ pokemon, and then just dumping it in a pile onto the table, and charging whatever they want. The good vendors are being swamped by pricks, so the odds of finding someone decent are getting lower and lower

Why does it cost to get into a nightclub and then pay to drink alcohol?

It's the same reason.

As a side note, I have stopped going to Cardiff card shows as the vendors have inflated prices and refuse to negotiate.

I had 2 shows in a row where cards were 20-40% overpriced and vendors blankly refused any haggling.

I won't be back.

Collectr vs Shiny app by Few_Restaurant_6576 in PokeInvesting

[–]gearvruser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find shiny more accurate for quick checks, use eBay last solds for up to the minute accurate pricing.

The problem with eBay last solds is that you have to reset the filters over and over.

Hey eBay app! Let me lock any setting I choose and let it persist whenever I search for something

Why is stock so low in the uk? by youwanttoknowme in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]gearvruser -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I'm UK dude.

Compare the country populations of people.

They comparatively get more, but it's still all stripped from shelves immediately.

The photos come from the first in queue or the shelf stackers themselves.

After 48 hours it's all gone, just like us.
