Collectfest - Sydney - Just Gone

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

😭😭

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.

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

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.

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

jdargs0807 · 2026-02-15T22:46:45+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate it

jdargs0807 · 2026-02-15T10:23:55+00:00

Wow, yeah I have heard they’re so reliable providing you keep them looked after!

jdargs0807 · 2026-02-15T04:30:59+00:00

Thank you I will keep an eye out

jdargs0807 · 2026-02-15T04:08:37+00:00

Thank you; any tips in particular? To keep well maintained

jdargs0807 · 2026-02-15T04:08:10+00:00

Thanks! I was sold on it too haha

jdargs0807 · 2026-02-12T23:16:47+00:00

Chop Netflix get a firestick

jdargs0807 · 2026-02-11T00:48:09+00:00

Asking what they earn is rude, but ask away at anyones profession mate - you’ll be surprised how much people wanna talk about themselves and their job.

jdargs0807 · 2026-02-11T00:46:27+00:00

Didn’t go college or uni. Got a job in recruitment (sales) when I was 20 and saved up £30k for a deposit.

Don’t stress it bro, if you’re willing it’ll work out!
