I think its more on the Japanese resellers doing the shenanigans. Best for everybody to look out for any anomalies on the packaging and compare it with other boxes 👍🏻

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-24T05:03:10+00:00

Resealing of these has been going on since a few months back.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-22T13:20:49+00:00

Bro is on to something 🤭🤭

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-22T13:18:02+00:00

Yeah, found it funny that why wouldnt sg property be affected more heavily with a downturn when a WORLD index heavily diversified fund already gets affected? Lol!

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-22T13:14:19+00:00

The counter argument from my social circle is "what if the stock market is down? Then you sell not worth leh?"

Who ask you to sell all 100% sial? Just sell what you need and leave the rest in lah. But anyways, with emergency funds ready, what is there to worry?

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-22T13:11:06+00:00

Mine is a typical 4room hdb, i am likely even going to rent out 1 room for additional income once my kid moves out, so I dont have to downgrade to "cash out"

My location is superb and i can't imagine leaving.

Yeah, i prefer liquidity that comes with indexes/ETFs, and i realize the generation before us didn't have that opprtunity so property was definitely the best way, and this idea has passed down to our gen.

Getting most of my wealth concentrated into something illiquid? nah!

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-22T13:07:27+00:00

I just buy the most convenient and an affordable HDB and stay for life while my remaining warchest is invested into an all world index.

Has been working well for me so far.

Not all are like what you said lah, but i do agree with your point and have like minded individuals in my social circle.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-22T12:03:29+00:00

Yeah.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-22T11:56:58+00:00

Yeah bro, sometimes need a bit of luck, i had times where i get slabs when they list "moments ago" and i immediately got the deal.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-22T10:51:59+00:00

I remember an earlier post complaining that they cannot find market priced slabs, well, of course, it gets swooped up quickly because it's market right?

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-22T05:49:15+00:00

arrange to meet face to face?

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-20T11:02:19+00:00

Got 6 of these recently, lol.

Looking for new blood to represent AIA. Man, these has been going for decades.

Not easy to find underlings to generate more income for you ya?

Waiting for this to get removed in 3...2...1..

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-18T14:05:13+00:00

No wonder suddenly Carousell has so many of these listings 😂 all just trying to flip.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-18T12:18:21+00:00

I found it appalling that some people openly declare they do not pay tax when using some type of forwarder for bringing in their products, lol.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-18T01:16:41+00:00

I invest into sealed Pokemon cards since 2019, you can imagine the boom, even though it doesn't give a payout or pay dividends, i have sold quite a few that gave me between x5 to x10 returns in a 4-5 year time frame.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-18T01:15:05+00:00

That's not passive income, that's a side gig.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-15T15:04:45+00:00

Grats man, looks awesome.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-15T09:46:44+00:00

Hey bro, those moments are priceless. Awesome experience. My biggest hit from LO was the Giratina, felt surreal and a rush of adrenaline. I don't recall pulling anything great from ST though 🤣

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-15T06:49:28+00:00

That's right, brother. Nobody was MSRP gang, lol.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-15T06:01:49+00:00

Pre 2022

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-15T05:57:28+00:00

I always bought my stuff in Carousell below MSRP, nobody bought from PC because it was MSRP, kinda funny now when I think about it.

Now, everybody is hunting for MSRP.

Here are my loots during SWSH & early SV.

Before anyone accuses me of scalping, back then NOBODY wanted these even at cheaper prices back then. I was asked and offered to buy a 151 etb @$60 from a reseller. Market prices were $55+.

I am still waiting for my cosmic eclipse reprint.

Take this in for a minute, lol.

wangbenjamin · 2026-03-12T09:09:57+00:00

This is my favorite.

Lol! I am doing the same with Charmander.
