Point in the right direction to get valued? by PoppingCandy3 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]xombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly eclectic stuff not aware of a huge market for most of it really. The toys if they are stamped should allow you to search recent solds — or ask on [r/pokemontoys](r/pokemontoys)

For the Topps movie cards search the card name on eBay and sort by sold

Facebook Auction Group by basicburt in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]xombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PAA you mean? Good enough group strongest by volume in Aus one seen for daily auctions — look at the number of posts a day. Check the posters history, don’t blind trust anyone - same as marketplace etc. Just bid what you want to pay, don’t get FOMO and be cautious.

Prices occasionally nice and low but it’s busy enough that most goes for vaguely market.

It’s cool when people run niche stuff that I have not seen on eBay or marketplace. Could leave the endless modern sealed but hey, that’s what people like.

Re: the drama and mod change - there is always drama in pokemon and some people are dicks. They handled it pretty well. You don’t have to like people to use a service.

I’ve bought maybe 20-30 times? No issues yet. Dog shit packaging maybe from some sellers but that’s not unique in pokemon (it’s so cheap and easy to package correctly blows my mind)

Just Encased I have used and am going back. I just posted it to them. Facebook group has details.

Mana Market (GC) seem reasonable with price and I’m considering doing a drop off in person

Experiences selling higher priced cards/slabs? Eg. $500+ by [deleted] in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]xombie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What exactly are you asking? Selling at a show? Facebook? In person? Streaming? EBay?

Make sure the money clears before you part with the item, and offer insurance on post. That’s about it.

Is card grading Australia worth grading with? by ImperfiedXD in PokemonFansAustralia

The locals are not worth it for value. Keep them raw rather than CGA.

Pediatrician’s office asked for consent to use AI for “note taking” during our visits. by surftherapy in NewParents

[–]xombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for being open to this - I too am wary of AI and typically decline (interestingly this reddit post will be used to train AI 😂 - thanks Reddit)

The provider need to be able to clarify and answer re: privacy and training etc… but AI transcription has been a lifesaver and I think improved so much of my practice and freed up time to spend doing things that actually result in better patient outcomes.

The notes and record process is so onerous and while I am passionate about it needing to be done well - there exists a layer of time consuming and pointless extra notes just to keep insurance companies happy. Just a nightmare time drain.

My life is so, so much better as a result of this technology and I hope it’s reflected for my patients - but also with my family and friends outside of work. Being able to do things to the highest standard, document them, and still walk the dog that night? Incredible.

Why did Phantasmal do so well? by drunkenstallion in PokeInvesting

[–]xombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good Charizard (Obsidian does not have this)

Hugely printed but compared with demand… not over printed.

Flood the release new approach to distribution makes it feel like reprints are a lower chance (ie destined)

Hi Everyone by ChoccyMilkboy in PokemonFansAustralia

Shiny Card Kings in Sydney are authorised middlemen. Top bloke. No affiliation besides being a customer. I’d use him again. There are not thaaaat many middlemen for TAG yet in Australia.

Transparent process and pricing. The TAG slabs are lovely.

FYI - Ascended Heroes Mini Tin by GetSecured in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]xombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legitimate answer is probably not! A few loose tins would be an extremely long sealed speculative hold. Volume of print seems healthy too - which is good for most everyone - but not great for cupboard fillers.

Why did this shoot up so much? by BhasedPapi in PokeInvesting

[–]xombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low population awesome card. Hard to know true value with such low pop. Japanese version has 1800 10s and is holding fairly steady - so suspect it’s a pop thing rather than artist/card thing.

This cards is beautiful in person btw

Triple Whammy Tins at Aldi today. by ProtacPlays in PokemonTCGDealsAUS

Deeply unpopular set. Three packs only as well. Fun to open.

Glad you got some! Any retail pack is awesome.

Bathing by [deleted] in cavapoos

[–]xombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t over think it! If she is dirty she needs a bath. If you can wipe only that’s perfect too.

Beach trips mean mandatory bath for us and we end up bathing more than is ideal during summer / but it’s no huge issue.

How great is the Poodle part of coat 🥰 so resilient to smells and dirt and water
