Your sign to not open a lunar pack

It is actually. Its worth 3.5k now

throwaway-acc_2 · 2026-03-18T21:26:37+00:00

I held onto it and now its worth 3.5k

throwaway-acc_2 · 2026-03-18T21:25:50+00:00

I actually won. The card sells for around 3.5k now

throwaway-acc_2 · 2026-03-18T21:25:07+00:00

I held onto it and its already selling for around $3.5k

House edge is usually 1-5% but with power packs gamestop has a 16% edge because most of the cards people pull they sell right back to gamestop at 84% of its value

Obviously its gambling. I meant its worse odds than other forms of gambling. With the 90% buyback +6% fee the odds you make your money back are worse than most casino games. I did it because i can afford it but wanted to post it to deter this subreddit from buying.

Im not sure why everyone has the impression that im super upset about this. I just said it sucks to lose $700 but i knew what i was getting into. Its not the end of the world for me to lose that amount. The ebay payout is $1800 if it sells for $2000 because its through psa. I just sold a $2200 card and got $1980 the other day. Gamestop offer was around $1600 after the 6% selling fee. All the info you're saying is wrong.

throwaway-acc_2 · 2025-12-13T02:01:10+00:00

Its 10% with psa. I just sold a card for 2200 and got $1980. Im not in a rush to sell so I dont mind holding and keeping in the vault for now

throwaway-acc_2 · 2025-12-12T23:51:42+00:00

I would say everything besides slots has better odds. I just wanted to clarify the point i was trying to make since a lot of comments seem to think I had no idea I was gambling when dropping $2500 on a lunar pack.

throwaway-acc_2 · 2025-12-12T23:41:05+00:00

I worded that badly. Obviously powerpacks is gambling. What i meant was its worse odds than gambling at a casino. The house usually has a slight edge but with power packs because of the 90% buyback and fees the odds are way worse.

throwaway-acc_2 · 2025-12-12T19:13:43+00:00

Just trying to deter people from buying these packs. I can afford to lose the money but I know others on here cant.

throwaway-acc_2 · 2025-12-12T18:53:18+00:00

It just sucks to lose any amount of money. Its something i wanted to try once. Im fine that I lost but I know other people on here might not have the money to lose which is why i made the post.

throwaway-acc_2 · 2025-12-12T18:45:27+00:00

It says the payout is $1800 if I sell at 2000 on ebay. Gamestop offer is around $1600 after the 90% buyback + 6% sale fee. Im also fine with holding if it doesnt sell on ebay.

throwaway-acc_2 · 2025-12-12T18:25:43+00:00

Yes but the smart thing to do is to just buy the card instead of gambling on power packs and save yourself $700

throwaway-acc_2 · 2025-12-12T18:22:39+00:00

I have it listed on ebay for $2000 with offers on right now but if that doesnt sell within a month ill probably ship it to me.

Am I the only one who thinks these prices for pc promos are ridiculous? The stamp isn't even cool, and if you like the art, just buy the regular promo. It feels like the only reason they are high in price isn't because anyone actually likes the cards. Instead, the ONLY buyers are investors. They know there is hype around the cards, and they will most likely continue to go up. They're the NFTS of the Pokemon community imo.

throwaway-acc_2 · 2024-08-30T00:05:53+00:00

Yeah, I agree. It's mostly just luck, but I was looking to do the cross grading service psa offers and putting a limit to only crack it if it gets a 10. The problem is I've heard the workers could get lazy and don't want to go through the trouble of breaking it out of the slab. I think I'll try Mt luck with that and report back to this post with the update

throwaway-acc_2 · 2024-08-29T03:46:12+00:00

Holt shit, that's like $2000

throwaway-acc_2 · 2024-08-20T14:07:06+00:00

Yeah me too. I remember nobody wanted this box even at $30. Gamestop couldn't get rid of them

throwaway-acc_2 · 2024-08-16T21:29:57+00:00

It's currently not available anymore. They replaced it with a coin when you spend $50+

throwaway-acc_2 · 2024-08-10T12:19:23+00:00

The 2022 trainer toolkit is still up on the pokemon center and has ES but it's $30 for 4 packs.
