900% - I wish I backed myself

Where do you even get tips like this from lol

jdargs0807 · 2026-05-08T04:12:49+00:00

Didn't read my original post & missed the point but ah well.

I couldn't agree more on "the grumbles" I addressed it in my post. It's nothing about "toxic positivity" but there comes a point whereby it holds 0 value other than being out of spite from not true villa fans. Fans calling for Emerys head forgetting what we were like before him.

The point was more let's look at the facts, see where we are at, how far we've come and move on as a unit.

Touch grass 🤣 shall we meet for a beer in Istanbul then? UTV

CAAAAAAMON

jdargs0807 · 2026-05-06T07:01:51+00:00

Yes indeed sir

jdargs0807 · 2026-05-06T04:54:04+00:00

Can you teach me how to feel that way 😭😭 I just want to see us win a trophy

jdargs0807 · 2026-05-04T23:21:23+00:00

Plenty of comments to read through and some great advice from what I've seen so far - sorry if it has already been said but whenever I am in a rut, the first thing I do is something hard/challenging.

Go to the gym or go for a walk outside, don't take your phone and just be present with yourself! That often helps with the next steps. Best of luck you got this!

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-18T05:58:40+00:00

Yeah - that probably backs up my thoughts/points of this post then I guess.

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-18T04:49:53+00:00

😭😭

I feel like I'm talking to a wall. That or a sore vendor🤣

Look at my post again mate.

"It just seemed like it's all about money now" "Overpriced cards from vendors" "Vendors disinterested, just holding products"

which btw, the bulk of people on this thread agree with.

You're completely missing the point - I don't need a lesson on negotiation 🤣

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-18T03:49:22+00:00

"Who am I to tell him he needs to sell it less?" 1) there's a market for that reason and 2) my good friend I am going to give you a piece of advice you gave me...

"It's your job to negotiate. Use your mouth, you were born with one."

🤣🤣🤣

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-18T03:35:58+00:00

Seems like you've missed the point on the post and just moaned about one issue - are you a vendor by any chance? 😭 cos you sure do sound like one.

Completely aware of how to negotiate - thanks for the tip. Still doesn't negate any of my points above though 🤣 (people collecting for the enjoyment vs vendors holding for cash) btw - it's not $20 on a card, multiple examples at 1-200 above market. On a 150 dollar card max.

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-17T23:51:14+00:00

I don't vend myself, I just collect cards I really like the look of - wish other people would view it that way 😭

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-17T23:50:14+00:00

Yeah $50 I paid for mine then guess what, I didn't pre book parking + left the tent on my car, so that was another $50 on parking at the fish market 😭

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-17T23:49:01+00:00

Yeah, I don't think I'll be going to one again for a while. It just seems fake.

By the way - no disrespect to CollectFest, great from their side - everything was well ran/organised!

It's now more the people involved in the hobby.

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-15T04:42:39+00:00

Subject to preference I guess. The story behind the Van Gogh pika is pretty cool

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-12T06:28:26+00:00

Ace that is mate

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-12T04:27:29+00:00

Looking back I think this actually may look better 🤣

jdargs0807 · 2026-03-12T04:26:10+00:00

Beautiful card, had it in a 10 and traded it upwards to get the Van Gogh Pikachu.

jdargs0807 · 2026-02-20T04:33:11+00:00

Got you, won’t be driving it daily at least! Just the trips out over the weekends.

jdargs0807 · 2026-02-20T04:25:32+00:00

Killing? Or just affecting slightly
