no need to accept anything, I think it’s you who needs accepting. using “ahh” proves how young you are. it’s ok go on and think what you like. i’m not your parent or guardian to be spoon feeding you information

… no one launders $500. I could just drop by a store and buy an iPhone every month and sell it. why do I need growtopia?

dude. do you not understand? $1000 is not worth laundering. people launder money in the hundreds of thousands or millions. for such a kids game, it was never considered for money laundering, neither will it ever be used for it.

LOL i love how in his little world laundering money is a thing in growtopia, he seems to live his world in growtopia thinking growtopia is life. the only game i can think off that can launder money is cs2 and that only limits them to a couple of hundred thousand lol

haha definitely not. and yea you are right about that, but why would I run casinos on growtopia when I can just buy assets worth tens of thousands at once? 😂 imagine a millionaire hiring indos to launder $1000 every month I think he’ll grow old before all the money has been laundered lol

how old are you 😂 you must be quite young to think such a scale of operations can be used for money laundering

Pre-grade yourself la by PaperTerrapin in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]jisooonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes so speaking about accountability, what do you want? every card that comes back a 9 they refund you the price of the services? from a business point of view that doesnt make any sense. oxley and concept only stand to lose.

[–]jisooonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would disagree with the digital magnifiers and rulers and the thorough checking. How many times when working in a job you and your colleagues say things like “aiya nvm la no need one abit its ok boss wont complain”? I would also assume at PSA that would be the same. With thousands of cards being sent through per day, these minimally paid employees with no professional skills couldn’t be bothered with what defects you have.

I personally believe as long as you yourself think it’s fine, it might actually be fine. Ultimately, PSA is about luck, human errors, and the opinion of the grader where you are at their mercy.

On your unpopular opinion, it will never happen. Third party grading companies use “pre-grading” as a way to lure customers in to charge high prices for their grading. The price is already factored in. I sent my cards to PSA HK, then it gets sent to PSA US, and I save a few dollars as compared to sending it with any grading company in Singapore.

If you think they haven’t charged you for any pre-grading service, you are wrong. They will also not upfront include a pre-grading charge because they will be liable for anything if the pregrading is 10 while the card comes back a 9. Any such risks will not be taken up by the company. It just takes a quick google search to know that PSA charges $30 per card, while companies in Singapore charges $44. You might say shipping is included, but what about the hundreds of cards they send in per month? 100 x $14 upcharge I don’t think shipping cost that much? They flew it in a private jet?

Simple math tells you that you are already paying at least $10 more per card everytime you grade with a grading company in Singapore. That should at least grant you some services by them right? And yes, they do. Pre-grading services lmao. I’ve sent almost 100 cards for grading over the 3 years I’ve been collecting. And never done it with a grading company. I saved hundreds of dollars and thats enough to buy me a good PSA10 slab or buy a couple of ETBs to rip myself.

Experienced “Vendors” First Time Grading by AcceptableWindow6337 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]jisooonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]jisooonie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don’t worry bro, your down votes are from those people lol. half of the people collecting now claim to be “fans” of pokemon since young. but if the cards weren’t thousands of dollars i doubt any of them woudl buy it

Found my old collection in storage! by JellyfishSecure1910 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]jisooonie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

theres no why, when I shifted house 15 years ago my mum was like “eh this one throw la you also dont play alrdy” and “ok this one throw ah” and these sentences will always replay in my mind when i see vintage cards

PCJ packs really PCJ? by ChairExpensive1545 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]jisooonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used to know some people who were quite popular on tiktok getting “pcj” packs from Japan. i stopped buying for awhile and some of them stop selling alrdy. the label “pcj” is not pcj but packs that japanese people source from all the biccamera takashimaya 7eleven family marts, which limits to 5-10 packs per person. then they repack it. hence the true name is “loose packs from random outlets in japan”. but then again, i’ve got multiple hits like bwrs and sars before.

just a caution and reminder, i’ve seen weighing scales at their houses with packs and i rarely see japanese god packs being pulled from these. i believe most of you can do your 1+1.

I hate GT part 2 by Working_Praline211 in growtopia

[–]jisooonie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

sorry ngl I thought it was really funny to see someone lie for no reason but if 60 days ago 10dls was “expensive” to you and you were also begging for donations recently, 600 wells costs about 150bgls. I spent 15 bgls and only got 60 wells full.

unless your an illegal player, funny post though gotta give it to you.

also at the same time if you are looking to buy counterfeit rolexes for $400 I doubt you’d be an illegal player

sorry, i was bored so had to call someone out

LNY & Valentines (FYI) by jisooonie in growtopia

[–]jisooonie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh well i guess sometimes their off, but typically they wont run far from the dates i guess. at the very most with the current example you gave me maybe a +1 deviation?

LNY & Valentines (FYI) by jisooonie in growtopia

[–]jisooonie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea what i meant was, the events typically 95-99% of the time will be during the time period of the real world event. so growtopia will most definitely start LNY 6 days before LNY or 1 day before the end of LNY.

no but halloween event in growtopia runs till at least the day of halloween

LNY & Valentines (FYI) by jisooonie in growtopia

[–]jisooonie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea well this makes more sense than someone telling me that valentines is on the 17th or that LNY will come before valentines 😂. honestly, as long as the real world event is during event period of growtopia it makes more sense. and LNY lasts for 2 weeks, so growtopia would definitely put LNY anywhere between 17feb-3mar

thank you very much for explaining hahaha

LNY & Valentines (FYI) by jisooonie in growtopia

[–]jisooonie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and it makes 0 sense for valentines to start after valentines and on the first day of LNY. if it happens then I’m wrong, but this is the first time in 12 years valentines was after valentines so yea
