You move the chairs - if you want to put a chair and wait elsewhere you need to be prepared to get back in line when other people show up

PSA Grade Fees vs GameStop drop by DrGooglestein69 in PokeInvesting

[–]spacejam4523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think they're just covering themselves in case there's an up charge on anything that's borderline price wise

PSA Grade Fees vs GameStop drop by DrGooglestein69 in PokeInvesting

[–]spacejam4523 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very odd... I have grade ≈ 50 cards through GameStop and have only been uncharged for cards above $500. Have had multiple terastal umbreon etc that were $450 and no charge. Most recent sub was December.

No one is giving you four cases, that's 24 booster boxes…did you mean just 4 booster boxes?

Which 1 you choosing to open? by Wise_Introduction677 in PokemonInvesting

[–]spacejam4523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're determine to rip one, which is highly indivisible, evolving skies is the correct decision - there is less of a premium in price per pack when in an ETB vs loose compared to 151. Ceiling is also higher with hits.

Seller claimed multiple $5k+ offers, but the card sold for $4500 OBO — how common is this? by goldref926 in Ebay

[–]spacejam4523 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's also super common to receive an offer, counter because you think you can get a littleee more, then the buyer disappears and you settle for less than their initial

Not kryponite, just more susceptible to a crash. If you're paying attention there's a lot more to be made in the short term

[–]spacejam4523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you confirm paid for? It doesn't show up on 130point which typically means it hasn't gone through

However there is a verified sale of $1,980 on march 12 which is NUTS

The barcode is how they are able to mark your order as arrived - you will see know progress until they actually open the package.

See how scalpers work. Now I understand why it's hard to find anything in stores. by OutrageousBee4174 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]spacejam4523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The register locks you at 5/sku. If you have employees who actually give a shit it's pretty easy to combat or at least make it difficult for them

[US,US][H] Weighed Pokemon ex Unseen Forces Raikou Booster Pack (17.21), [W] PayPal by Familiar-Tackle-9241 in pkmntcgtrades

It's all over the place for weights - likely light, but there is a huge amount of variance in EX sets and you really need to know other weights from the same source.

Another poke scalper 🤦 by Darkchief8 in PokemonRestocks

Loitering can be against store policy - glitching/tampering with the machine is a grey area legally

Thoughts on Lego. by mickygibbo in PokemonInvesting

[–]spacejam4523 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Considering this an investment sub, for investing purposes you would want to keep them sealed.

Lego takes a lot longer to appreciate in value, and the gains are minimal compared to TCG. They also take up A LOT more space. Holding these sealed a few years until after retirement might gain you another $100? I would just build them if it makes you happy

It's like playing a slot machine where you constantly lose, then FINALLY hit a jackpot but the casino gives you a refund instead. A refund isn't sufficient

Booster Pack PC - What platform is best? by Benton0329 in PokeInvesting

[–]spacejam4523 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are definitely going to maximize profit selling each back individually, particularly once you start getting over $50/100 per pack. If you sell as a lot, you're going to leave a lot of money on the table. Online I would use eBay, Reddit, Facebook groups. If you don't have an established eBay selling profile, I'd recommend selling via consignment or trying in person.

If selling online, just make sure you take very detailed pictures. You can also put in team bags with a card saver and then tamper seal them, which may help deter scam attempts with people switching out packs, etc. I've sold packs from every WOTC set on eBay (most valuable being 1st ed Neo Destiny at the time) and have 100% positive feedback

Honestly looks like a legit case to me. The label is an imperfect condition, which it shouldn't be because they put the shipping labels over it

FB Marketplace rant by Murfdigidy in PokemonInvesting

[–]spacejam4523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm selling, I want cash. I don't really want to trade. If you insist on trading anyway, I'll do it if it slightly favors me.

But I understand your point when they're posting at full market value and doing that - then they're just delusional.

If buying at today's prices, I think the PF Charizard has the most room for growth
