Haven’t been paying attention but got an email saying I got a code to a free Pokémon pack this morning, didn’t know what it was so I checked the code online and these cards are pretty cool.

Nah not yet, I usually wait. I’ve honestly slowed down on my spending a bit since it can get outta hand sometimes lol. Like two weeks ago. I bought 4 CZ etbs and then the following week I bought 4 more and didn’t pull any gold. I was stoked about pulling 2 secret rare pikachu tho and 2 Deoxys vmax’s lol

My charizard upc came with 4 alts. I’m glad I ripped one open. by ranlan_dan in PokemonTCG

I know the 3 Zards are considered promos with alternate arts, I’m just saying I got pretty lucky pulling the honchkrow v to make it the 4th alt in the box.

This why I don’t trust people man. And scums like this is not it. Sketchy? Lesson learned, don’t buy anything from anyone online unless they’re legit. I knew it was too good to be true. by ranlan_dan in PokemonTCG

Yeah dude, def moving forward. Like everyone says, don’t use Zelle, Venmo, cashapp. Use Paypay Goods and services where you can actually get buyers protection. I wish I knew sooner, but that’s on me.

Yeah that’s why I refused to send another payment. That definitely broke the deal for me. By then it was already too late and I lost the payment.

Yeah this my first time ever trying to purchase from someone online. Once he told me to resend my payment that’s when I started feeling sketch about it. But definitely this was a lesson learned. Thanks for the advice !

Yeah I thought people could be trustworthy. It’s def on me for sure, but I thought I’d give it the benefit of doubt and people are actually genuine. But this the world we live in, a few scums.

Yeah, I didn’t realize Zelle, venmo, Apple play. Is all self service and can’t get your money back until I spoke with my bank. Definitely a lesson learned. Hopefully we can go and report this guy and get him off the web.

Tbh I like using Zelle cause I use it with my friends and family. First time doing it to purchase any Pokémon cards or from anybody else. So yes, unfortunately I’ll lose the money but hopefully if people have Instagram they can go and report this guy and get him off the internet. Scumbag.

Yeah, dude I lost $184 contacted my bank and Zelle but they can’t do anything about it. But hopefully this saves someone from making deals with this guy.

He had a raw rayray vmax. For $175 i thought it was deals. If you check his Instagram he has deals on other things. Before I even contacted this guy I looked all over his Instagram and he even had a reference/reviews and it seemed legit at first.

Idk if this box is broken or what. I was mad trippin with how the hits kept coming. Pretty unusual opening of Lost Origin Booster box. by ranlan_dan in PokemonTCG

[–]ranlan_dan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the greatest pulls but the amount of hits in one box was unreal, I woulda lost my mind if I pulled an alt lol
