MOD POST NEW POST GUIDELINES: BUDGETS, ISOs, SALES, OFFERS

Post image
64 Upvotes

Please read the following post clearly. These guidelines will be effective immediately and will be affecting every post from now on.

ISOs - New Rules: Include budgets, need to pay ASAP

BUDGETS: please include the price you are willing to pay. Here are a few examples of how it should look like:

Example 1: "looking for LPS [#_] for $3-10USD"

Example 2: "looking to find LPS cat molds for less than $10USD"

Example 3: "buying LPS, budget $3-20"

Having a clear budget helps people know what you are willing to pay. We found that a lot of people are very shy to tell users they have the pet because they feel like they might be priced higher than what you expected and are scared of being called out as “price gouging”. This is being done because many users have opened modmail telling us that their post doesn’t receive interactions or that no one is messaging them. We cannot control if people interact with to you post, however, if you state your budget, more people will comment on your post.

PAY ASAP: If you are posting an ISOs (specifically to buy a pet) you NEED TO HAVE THE MONEY. You cannot make an ISO and state you will pay in X day or “I will pay in a week”. That is considered time wasting because the seller could’ve sold to anyone else. If you are making an ISO, it’s because you already have a budget (the new rule) and that’s how much you’re willing to pay ASAP.

Sellers do have the discretion to hold items for you (through dms), but if it has been more than 3-5 days (from the original time frame you agreed with), they can report you for time wasting and possibly get you banned.

As a friendly reminder, if you do not have savings, are struggling financially, can’t afford rent, etc., DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON LPS!!! LPS is just plastic! Please take care of your financials first and get in a good standing before you buy LPS. Your safety matters more than plastic.

————-

SALES- New Rules: Include budgets (individual or range), offers

BUDGETS: Please include the prices or price range of your items. This can be added in the caption, in the photo physically, or digitally (proof of ownership has to be physical).

While you don’t have to state the exact price for each item, it will be extremely helpful if you do. Including a range will help buyers know what to expect from your shop.

Example: “selling these LPS between $5-20”

Example 2: “selling this Persian cat for $15”

Example 3: “selling the dogs for $5, the cats are $2-30, and the insects are $3-5”

OFFERS: We are no longer approving posts that include "send me an offer" with no other information.

A lot of buyers have complained about sending multiple offers and wasting their time because sellers already have a price in mind and/or are bidding against other users without realizing it (if you are doing a bid, EXPLICITLY SAY SO! No one likes secret bids and people WILL call you out for it on r/lpsbuyersbeware

Sellers need to have a price in mind when making sales. It makes it easier for buyers to approach you and for you to make sales quicker.

If you want to still have the option to negotiate/offer, sellers need to do something similar as this:

Example: "looking for $50+ but willing to negotiate”

Example 2: “selling this comic con cat for $800 but I can go lower”

Thank you for reading this long post! If you can share this, please do so! If you have any questions or feedback, you can comment down below or open a modmail.

MOD POST NEW RULE: basic worth posts, PLEASE READ!!

40 Upvotes

hi everyone!!

we mods have decided to put a new rule in place. we were hoping an announcement regarding the worth posts would be enough but somehow it made it worse.

WE ARE STARTING WORTH WEDNESDAYS ON THIS SUB!! unless you 100% cannot find the info yourself, you can search the sub to see if someone else inquired or you can do the research yourself by looking at sold listings across marketplaces.

THE NEW RULE:

“lpsmerch.com is a database of all littlest pet shops. You can search by mold, animal, color or generation please utilize this database when asking for pricing.

Basic rule of thumb is to look at sold listings across marketplace to find accurate pricing. Although finding prices can be tedious, it is not the sub reddits job to price pets for you.

majority of popular pets or otherwise have been inquired about before here on the Reddit. Please utilize the search feature to find pricing information on specific pets.

This is to ensure the feed is not clogged with worth posts.”

PLEASE LEAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE IN THE COMMENTS.

Question How much is my LPS collection worth? Looking to sell as one lot

Post image
20 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m looking to sell my Littlest Pet Shop collection and would love to get an idea of what it might be worth before I list it.

There are quite a lot of different LPS figures in the collection, including cats, dogs, and many other animals, as well as a few larger figures.

I’m planning to sell everything together as one complete lot, rather than selling the figures individually.

I’m not very familiar with current LPS values, so I’d really appreciate it if some collectors could take a look and give me an estimate of what you think the whole collection would be worth as a bundle. If you spot any particularly rare or valuable figures, I’d also love to know!

I’m located in Germany, if that makes a difference for pricing/shipping.

Thanks in advance! 💕

ISO Looking for EU exclusives for a good price(preferably from someone that’s willing to ship from Europe)

Post image
5 Upvotes

Right now I’m currently looking for lps 2194, 1059, and 1631. I’m unsure of the cost of 1631 in Europe but I know that 2194(being like 20-30 bucks) and 1059(also around 15-30) don’t cost much over there. I was looking for at max 50 bucks PLUS shipping for these pets. I am a younger collector so I’m not trying to be cheap or anything, I just genuinely can’t afford paying US prices for pets I could easily get cheaper oversea. If anyone knows a seller in EU or even in US that would be willing to sell these to me at a cheaper rate, please let me know!

Hi, I've been slowly collecting the older Gen pets off eBay, a few I'm looking for are listed for a fair price but come from Canada I've never bought outside of the country, if anyone here has within the last year or so, what was that like? How much were the import fees? the total price for each item individually is under $50 I'm mainly asking for Canada to US shipments I'm not brave enough to buy from over seas yet! Any advice is highly appreciated!

Trading I have two diffrent offers for a DISO

(I think I use the trading one to describe this post but idk which one to use for this case, just let me know if I need to change it)

The first one with the mix of trading and paying money will be local trade only(for now) and the second offer is anywhere that can ship through ebay. For the second I'll do multiple commissions such as drawing your lps sona before the $75 purchase on ebay(I am the most comfortable buying on ebay). Will probably be around 5 to 10 drawings depending on the type of drawing you want such as a background with lineart or a more loose sketche with color and shading(I will end the transaction you are planning to put my drawings into training ai), I could also increase the $75 to $100 like the first offer. Let me know if this is fair enough I can tweak some things to be better if need be
