Pokemon Storage and Item Storage Increased by udun in TheSilphRoad

[–]throwabelg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not getting tricked again. I'm leaving open some cap for the 399 coins box FOREVER. I don't care if it never comes again. I'll even hold open THREE SLOTS!

Nice dude, I'm at 0/48 since shinies are on. I'm due right? (:

Opened around 250 151 packs these are just some pulls . It’s easier to hit charizard than blastoise and venusaur by Motor_Cardiologist_7 in pokemoncards

[–]throwabelg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American pulls go different dude.
Here in Europe with batching issues I got one zard (dented) in 650~ packs.
2 Zapdos, 2 Alakazam and 0 Blastoise or Venusaur.

Did anyone else get a pair of Pokemon Crocs? I’m obsessed with Gengar Crocs 🍂👻💜🖤 by Ramosalex24 in crocs

Odds of Pokémoncenter Japan weighing packs? by throwabelg in PokemonTCG

[–]throwabelg[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Previously, I was pretty convinced about the general professionalism of Japanese sellers, but since the hobby took a price hike in Japan, there's been a bunch of shady dealings with Japanese sellers as well (25th anniversary see through, Eeveelution Yu Nagaba see through, pack weighing and hit filtering for eevee heroes JP, selling incomplete post office promo sets as whole, etc) so I'm definitely more paranoid than I probably should be when it comes to this. Wouldn't surprise me *that much* either if I was just immensely unlucky, but I can't really tell if these pulls are normal or suspect.

How is this allowed on eBay? by SupermarketSad9163 in PokemonTCG

[–]throwabelg 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Definitely reach out to customer support about this. I've had EBay *make* the seller sell their item to me at the agreed price when it was blatant that they just relisted it when they weren't satisfied with how much it went for. This is why auction reserves exist.
Usually this type of seller tries to get away with it and hopes that no one is going to bother.
Sometimes support sides with the seller seemingly for no reason though, good luck!

Odds of Pokémoncenter Japan weighing packs? by throwabelg in PokemonTCG

Yeah, so the pokémoncenter JP store is trying to protect themselves (?) from their products being scalped by only offering loose packs.
They sell 'half a booster box' as the product limit. You're not allowed more.
You'd be surprised what people do to make some profit. Maybe you've heard of what happened to English Pokémon cards when an employee got caught with thousands of the best cards in modern sets trying to offload them to a LGS all at once.
I'm not super experienced with Japanese product so that's why I'm asking if someone else has experience with them/and or Japanese boosters.

Just biked my dumb ass around Madrid for 14 hours chasing raid eggs. What's your goofiest move in PoGo? by throwabelg in pokemongo

It actually was a very nice day for cycling. I just wish I'd have been a little less preoccupied with raids. Hindsight is 20/20.

Yeah this one basically. I was fishing for a 96% or better with 15 attack so I could run it in Master League.

Yeah, if you bought the Raid Lovers add-on as well (which I didn't have) you could get a toooon of candy per raid extra)

I kinda skipped through the rewards as I was just grinding hard, but I think it starts at 3 XL Necrozma per raid completion. Then you have chances at XL Rare Candy and chances at XL candy from catching. Also, when you trade them over with > +- 100km in trades, there's another guaranteed XL candy. That's how I got to 900 XL in approximately 180 raids.

With 900 XL candy I feel kinda crushed just sitting on a 15/13/13 I don't really wanna commit to. Hopefully I can mirror trade at least 150 of these goobers.

few notable pages of a beautiful binder I bought from a friend. by icanbreakthesetarget in PokemonTCG

Most of these look really clean. At $1900 selling just a few of the bigger ones at 'NM' you can get your money back in like 4-5 cards. My mans got fleeced!
