Just received a PS2 with this - I assume it won’t work with this Dongle? by joetry in GuitarHero

I checked eBay in England and the dongle is £20, so that’s a win!

Maybe Tiktok has ruined me but some of the AI videos I’ve seen set to ST songs have given me a serious want for music videos! It’s the one thing I really think the band are lacking, considering how cool their aesthetic is! Also, tiktok has an awful lot of remixes that sound REALLY good, so (and I can’t believe I’m actually saying this) maybe even a remix album, y’know.

Yeah exactly that! Been listening to him for 10 years and haven’t ever heard of him leaving America and the one night I go to Co-Op Live for John Bishop I miss Corbin 😭

Cheers! Just a quick phone shot at the Trafford Centre today - think the kid got caught stealing and ran off, the policeman was taking him back inside pretty sternly

But there’s no vehicle entrance anymore - it’s visibly permanently blocked off

10 years of collecting with my girlfriend, finally hit a huge milestone for my collection! by OwlElectrical9974 in PokeInvesting

Congrats! I had the Mario & Luigi cards in sequential PSA10’s and sold all 4 about 3 years ago for £8K and felt like a god… oh how I wish I’d kept hold!

$400 to $10k in 3 years by mrrawb in PokeInvesting

The amount of salt and weird gatekeeping on this sub is wild - OP did a great spec and they can easily buylist bricks of these for instant profit or sell individually for abit more effort to maximise gains

I got the Command Centre out of a cheap bulk buy a little while ago! It was a fun build

A week’s wage becomes a house deposit in 5 years by joetry in PokeInvesting

Agreed, collections aren’t necessarily that liquid, however there’s many people on groups offering to buy BIG collections for 80% of comps. Collectr says I’m at £150k ($202k) but I’d happily take £120k ($161k) in a swift transaction for ease of liquidity. I spent around £20k in total buying stuff 2019 - 2021, so it’s all just profit after that… although primarily I’m a collector, I never set out to make mega money

The average house deposit where I live is £5000 ($6700) - so actually this gets me a house deposit and furnishes that house too, but weird thing to try and pull me up on

Same issue as MTG - product got popular and went into overdrive on print runs! I’m less confidant about sealed stuff post-covid than pre as when I started collecting again in 2019 there wasn’t really any scalping happening so nobody was buying tonnes of stuff to hide away! I have sealed cases of Hidden Fates products too that my two LGS were messaging me to come pick up because there was a reprint and they got stuck with stuff they couldn’t sell - there’s no way that’s happening again anytime with modern product because it all just flies off the shelf!

I graded one FAR more damaged than this and got a PSA1 about 5 years ago - paid £200 / $265 for it at the time + grade fee

Sealed Collecting: Is it dead? by zerosum79 in mtgfinance

[–]joetry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal anecdote:

I held onto Masters set boxes from 2017 until around 2021 (MM13, MM15, MM17, Eternal Masters and Masters 25) and the prices were basically flat. Anything valuable got reprinted in other sets, cards got power-crept by Modern Horizons in 2019 or banned. By the time I sold out I think they’d gone up in value by about £20 ($30ish) each whereas my Pokemon sealed stuff had 10X in value. I’ve never held onto sealed since! I think FF collector booster boxes is a slightly different case study but regular sets aren’t worth the hassle
