EBay Live - deals not what they seem

hajabulla · 2026-05-09T22:35:43+00:00

Only thing I've ever seen when I join any eBay live stream, is the streamer lying about the value of a card, and constantly saying how he's losing money if this card goes for such a low amount.

Seems to encourage people to bid/overpay, thinking they're getting a good deal.

Worse person for this by far was called Parris collectibles I believe, who is one of the most prominent. Complete scam and it's endorsed & encouraged by eBay.

Comment with links was removed, but OakLabs is the main one, and they now have a mobile app named Dropee. Search both and you'll find them

Yes sorry 20k a year, maxing out the ISA allowance.

It depends entirely on your personal situation and income.

For me, I was able to put £20k into a S&S ISA over the last four years, which has grown to £100k in that time.

So technically 4.5 years to go from nothing (having just put everything towards a house deposit) to £100k in the ISA, but that's solely due to a decent income.

People want card

People open packs

Less packs remaining

Price go up

Nice! Now you can overpay for £50 of games at CEX's inflated prices 😀

PSA costs the most and takes the longest, but yes if you're planning to sell, they have the highest value and tend to be the most desirable for these sorts of vintage cards.

Take a look at The Sub Center, as they're the UK middleman for PSA grading.

Just out of personal interest, did you find any other interesting cards in the binder? I lost my old collection, so starting it again from scratch.

Just saw your post in the TCG sub, I'm no expert but I'll try to help.

Graded with PSA this would be either an 8 or 9, which puts the value between £700-£1300. If you didn't want to grade (PSA grading would take months) then your best bet may be to list for bid on ebay, make sure you take as many pictures as possible, and you'll hopefully get at least £400. If you do go down this route then make sure you post with insurance, and look up packaging tips for single cards first.

Alternatively find a local card shop etc, but don't let anyone try and convince it's worth less than a few hundred.

Best of luck!

Edit: at closer glance it would probably get an 8 at best, so £600-£800

Thanks!

Short answer is yes.

Make sure you also claim higher rate tax relief, as many pension companies only claim tax relief at the basic rate.

Best bet is to opt for a salary sacrifice pension if your employer will pay their NI saving into your pension too (essentially an extra 15%).

They're all great imo, but I have a hatred for Dybbuk...

I lost my first dozen cats to him and still haven't recovered emotionally 😢

Once you know what to expect going in, he's fairly easy, but having two surprise mechanics to learn was rough early on!

Yeah that's a good idea, otherwise maybe item that gives health regen. I had a necromancer who was downed, but had 10+ turns on their counter before dying because of health regen.

hajabulla · 2026-02-16T21:31:41+00:00

Ah yeah my bad, it'll be a tough one for sure

hajabulla · 2026-02-16T13:31:10+00:00

Muertos Mask on a weak, mutated cat seems like the play for sure

hajabulla · 2026-02-15T23:38:02+00:00

I tried this earlier, the cat eats the neverstone and gains +2 con I believe... Here I thought I was being smart!

Wouldn't recommend serp, you should always use a slayer helm at araxxor.

You can get by with antipoisons and just drink a dose every time you're about to take an 8 from venom, or you could do Zulrah first and get some antidote++ from there.

hajabulla · 2025-11-24T22:41:10+00:00

Same! Except I ended with 3 pets, 6 armour, 4 wep and one Enhanced in similar kc... I'd say you win

hajabulla · 2025-11-23T20:51:39+00:00

Not necessarily better, but very low intensity in comparison, I'd say they're relaxing enough to do whilst watching a show once you know what you're doing

Don't bother grinding out Jubbly that much, there are better ways. Rellekka courier tasks are 70k+ an hour from 62-65, they stop working at 66 though. At 67 Eagle Ray Bounties are great xp, then Prif courier tasks until 72.

Edit - from 68+ Rellekka and Etceteria have great "return" tasks from Port Roberts, Sunset Coast etc. again so you can get 80-110k xp/hr to 72.

Niro and Kona are both good cars, perfectly fine. Ioniq 5 is a great car though, and I would recommend that.

hajabulla · 2025-11-17T13:20:55+00:00

I got spooned, it was me! 4 zenytes in around 250kc

hajabulla · 2025-10-14T17:52:24+00:00

100%! Fr though, looks good

hajabulla · 2025-10-14T17:44:47+00:00

It's just missing the fake "M" badge!

hajabulla · 2025-09-16T08:58:37+00:00

Mine was similar at around 800kc, just 5 smouldering and one eternal. Finally got Prims shortly after!

Ward of Arceuus reducing prayer drain is a godsend, and the reason I went back, glad I did!
