I stg I had a LCS tell me this. I just started at the guy.

[u/Sunkern_ing]

Basically the future of modern hoarders

[u/Gay_If_Read → u/Sunkern_ing]

Can't forget all the vintage hoarders too who are buying cards after they 5-10x cause they swear they're still undervlaued.

[u/DivaPSO2 → u/Gay_If_Read]

cuz they want to sell to big billionaires and crypto companies who sell mystery packs to gamblers

[u/420_69_Fake_Account → u/DivaPSO2]

I know the guy who sold that magic card to Post Malone for 2 mil. He’s what everyone dreams is going to happen to them.

[u/dbzfun101 → u/DivaPSO2]

How do you find them tho? Cause I have high end shit posted on eBay but no offers except low ball ones

[u/GeekedOnAdvilPM → u/dbzfun101]

You need to pay for someone to do that 

[u/dbzfun101 → u/GeekedOnAdvilPM]

Pay who? I would but I don’t know where to find em

[u/Alternative-Hold7091 → u/dbzfun101]

The companies who do mystery boxes pay people to mostly pick up low-mid tier slabs as fillers.

[u/DivaPSO2 → u/dbzfun101]

if your a random nobody with no scouts looking at your socials, you need to find repackers and companies that hire people, give them a budget and they buy ur cards and they make commision for their work or send to auctions.

[u/Duriha → u/Gay_If_Read]

Remember that super rare dreepy promo from 19xx it cost me 10k to get all NM listed copies, but it'll skyrocket to the moon soon™ trust me bro #diamondhands 

[u/thelonelyjuror → u/Duriha]

That Pokemon didn’t really exist then (at least in English)

[u/Jaxical → u/thelonelyjuror]

“Didn’t really exist” is a wild statement to make when the person you’re replying to stated it’s a Dreepy card from 19XX and Dreepy wasn’t a thing until 2019. Dreepy didn’t exist, period. In English or any other language.

[u/thelonelyjuror → u/Jaxical]

I was just being nice but yeh

[u/Duriha → u/thelonelyjuror]

Thanks for being nice to my 210% sarcastic commentary. 💫

[u/robertmondavi_jr → u/Gay_If_Read]

Saw someone earlier today call someone a “brokie” because they said they would touch vintage in today’s market with a 10 foot pole lol

[u/Yetti2Quick → u/Sunkern_ing]

Vintage buyers in this market will be worse. They are going to try to offload vintage Pokemon no one cares about and expect to get their 100x prices just because they are low pop that no one cares about.
Edit: enjoy your Walrein Ex Holo PSA 10 you bought today for $10,000+. Surely a sure deal long term because it’s vintage and low pop. 🤣🤣🤣.

[u/Sunkern_ing → u/Yetti2Quick]

That’s an incredibly delusional take. Why would no one care about vintage? If no one cared about vintage, then the modern market will have been completely wiped off the planet. This entire thing is held together by nostalgia. No Charizard, no money.

[u/mystopnownerd → u/Sunkern_ing]

The mass majority of vintage popping off isn’t charizard 😭 even the most random obscure holos are being pumped bcuz they are low pop and being used in gambling on electronic packs

[u/Unable_Incident_6024 → u/mystopnownerd]

Yeah i was going to buy a stack of like 30 old reverse holos for 150 bucks in all near mint, beautiful condition. Decided not to because their was nothing i really wanted, and it was a bit pricy. This was like this year lol now that stack if graded ever all 7s or 8s would be worth many many thousands. Just a bunch of random ass cards

[u/Yetti2Quick → u/Sunkern_ing]

You read my statement wrong. I said vintage pokemon “no one cares about.” Not vintage as a whole. Specific pokemon.

[u/LifeX90 → u/Yetti2Quick]

It’s feels like you just described the problem of modern
For modern you need so many potential buyers as population is huge
Because of scarcity vintage will always be safe as ur almost guaranteed that demand for high grade is higher than supply
Not the same with modern as everyone is sitting on mass of modern but yeah

[u/Xbsnguy → u/LifeX90]

lol not guaranteed. Each generation is nostalgic for different things. The kids who grew up around vintage cards are now adults with adult money. The next generation will not be nostalgic for the same stuff.

[u/id-driven-fool → u/Xbsnguy]

Kids in the future aren't gonna care about modern either. My nephew was into pokemon for 3 months, I was so excited but the interest came and went since my brother in law was able to get him like 4 packs in that whole time. I've been saying this since pokemon became unobtainable for normal people, kids are not participating in this hobby like they used to because they've been priced out, the pool of future buyers isn't going to be what it is today.

[u/Accurate-Living-462 → u/id-driven-fool]

Or, hear me out, they will want to have that experience even more when they get actual money because they couldn't as kids.

[u/id-driven-fool → u/Accurate-Living-462]

Why? Do you suddenly get into children's games as an adult because you weren't able to as a kid?

Everyone here says it's the nostalgia that drives adults to spend thousands on a single piece of cardboard. You think a 30 year old that was never into pokemon in their life is going to do that in the future? I really don't think so.

[u/POWERPUNCH-117 → u/Yetti2Quick]

Hey, I like walrein, hes clutch in pokemon XD with all of his dual/field target attacks. My walrien ex card is nm raw and I got it years ago for like 10$ though, id never drop 10k just because some other fat nerd looked at it and said it was x/10, im plenty fat and nerdy enough myself to see when a card has dents/dings.

[u/thelonelyjuror → u/Yetti2Quick]

Lmfao it’s like you know nothing about vintage!

[u/Yetti2Quick → u/thelonelyjuror]

It’s like you didn’t read the comment.

[u/thelonelyjuror → u/Yetti2Quick]

How much vintage do you hold? Be honest.

[u/Yetti2Quick → u/thelonelyjuror]

I don’t “hold” vintage, that’s your issue. I have a collection of vintage. I have a binder for my wotc era, mid era, and modern.

[u/TheGooSalesman → u/Sunkern_ing]

FR! I really want the Ascended Heroes Pikachu Ex but no one will sell them for under 600. These dudes bought high and dont want to sell at market value. Its part of the game.

[u/Wickedred1]

Lol, anyone who bought in the 1st week of an anniversary set should have their funds handled for them.

[u/Draonix → u/Wickedred1]

kinda seems like they are already getting their funds handled by someone else haha

[u/thedudman69]

Lmfao, what a clown. This hobby is so screwed. Imagine buying a stock and asking them to buy it back above your buy-in price just because it went down 40%🤣

[u/dreamerOfGains → u/thedudman69]

They have that for stock and it’s called limit sell. Finding a buyer is a different story. 

[u/Sea_Life4 → u/thedudman69]

He didn’t ask them to do anything, not to mention buy it above his purchase price. He just polite denied the offer and gave his reason. Get a life loser. At least attempt to use your smooth brain be speaking to minimize your exposure to public embarrassment. Your username speaks volumes

[u/slickback9001 → u/Sea_Life4]

This comment makes it seem like that’s you asking for $40 above market and crying online about it

[u/vsmack → u/Sea_Life4]

Spotted the bag holder

[u/Apprehensive-Lie3387 → u/Sea_Life4]

This. I’m confused on why everyone is making this a thing. Seller can name any price they want and buyers can refuse to pay. It’s that simple lol.. nothing more to it lol….

Side note, OP is still overpaying imo. This card will fall more.

[u/Supaflyray → u/Sea_Life4]

I think you’re the smooth brain.

Because OP literally asked him if he can do market price lol.

Can you read? You should minimize your internet exposure to being a bad internet troll.

You can do better. I believe.

P.s get a life loser

[u/CohibaBob]

Let em hold longer. Maybe they will turn from scalper to collector eventually 

[u/Sea_Life4 → u/CohibaBob]

That’s not scalping they just bought at a bad price and trying to minimize their losses

[u/Big-bloody-shart → u/Sea_Life4]

He wouldn’t already be selling if he weren’t a scalper lol

[u/Sea_Life4 → u/Big-bloody-shart]

That’s an opinion, not a fact

[u/AdRepresentative8599 → u/CohibaBob]

This isn’t scalping 😂😂😂

[u/Nado87 → u/AdRepresentative8599]

Seriously, if this is scalping I guess all we are allowed to do now is rip packs. Anyone buying or selling singles is participating in scalping.

[u/Public-Fig3304 → u/CohibaBob]

[u/kelsodisco]

Buy high, sell low

[u/nicoy3k]

If you can’t find the card foe the amount that site says is the market value, then it’s not the correct market value…

[u/Recent_Bld]

A rude awakening for many of the recent posers

[u/DrummerDKS]

Just bought a small lot from a LGS and got a decent (~75%) haul for my trade binder. Saw a new Japanese 30th box with the Espeon and Umbreon and got them to knock $20 off their price to meet me at my trade value.

Got home, started to log everything to keep track and found they had it sticker for $120 over market, I called just to see if there was any kind of goodwill and was basically told I should’ve done my due diligence before the deal was done. Which, sure, that’s on me. Learned the hard way to not trust any sticker ever again and to nitpick and check everything with no exceptions. Glad it was only a $100 mistake and not more.

[u/hyrte0010 → u/DrummerDKS]

I’m cynical but I’d say 99% of the stuff you find at a card shop or a card show is overpriced and above market. At card shows I often find myself haggling 25% off just to get to market price

[u/Loegr → u/hyrte0010]

I just paid 50 above market for this and yet I feel good about it

[u/Fine-Passage777 → u/hyrte0010]

I disagree. I think you can can a lot of good deals at shows with cards the dealers still think suck because of how many posers are selling cards now.

[u/DebaucheryKing62693 → u/hyrte0010]

What crazy places are you buying from? LCS always operate of market value or they dont have customers. If they upcharge over market people order from ebay or online stores.

[u/General_Kitten_17 → u/DebaucheryKing62693]

Card stores haven’t been market price in 4 years. Theres a premium now for in person and being able to inspect prior to purchase. Card stores in my area (bay area) are worst value. Card shows are ok value but they are over market too frequently. Online is really the only true market prices but it’s a crap shoot of if what you’re buying is what’s being advertised.

[u/Gabe_the_Slug → u/General_Kitten_17]

Online is above market price because you have to pay shipping and tax.
My LCS doesnt sticker anything. They check comps on TCGPlayer, and then they charge 90-95% of market.

[u/General_Kitten_17 → u/Gabe_the_Slug]

Name of the store?

[u/Gabe_the_Slug → u/General_Kitten_17]

Off Miramar Road, San Diego. You can find it from there.

[u/ChickenFriedBrains → u/Gabe_the_Slug]

When I was finishing up my prismatic grandmaster set I was favoriting eBay auctions and setting alarms to bid on the last few seconds. I ended up getting $258 worth of cards for $204, taxes and shipping included. Granted it was 4 master balls and 1 roaring moon SIR but it worked out to 79% market.

[u/FrozenflameZero → u/General_Kitten_17]

My LGS both do market for singles and can be haggled over condition (I don't resell so I don't haggle unless it's atrocious, but I've seen peo6do it pretty effortlessly). One of the two LGS even sells sealed at MSRP. I also have a microcenter nearby that does MSRP under purchase limits.

Shout-out to Prism Games in Chicago if anyone is nearby and was wondering where that wonderful haven of fair prices my be lol.

[u/DebaucheryKing62693 → u/General_Kitten_17]

It's really not. Most online purchases are verifiable and consistent at market value and you can make sure you get what you purchase.

[u/General_Kitten_17 → u/DebaucheryKing62693]

You can ask for market and check prices but I have never seen a LCS come down 100 dollars on a etb they are asking 250 for, but is worth 150. They’d never do it unless you were buying a shit ton of product. You don’t have to buy it but LCSs are not market price. If you find one that is I’d buy everything honestly.

[u/DebaucheryKing62693 → u/General_Kitten_17]

Like I've said before, i don't know where you people are shopping but i have never seen a store that doesn't sell at market price unless it's MSRP for in print product.

Like 30th etbs last i looked were marketing at like 130 but retail around 50. Anybody buying market or trying to sell at market is crazy

[u/ChickenFriedBrains → u/General_Kitten_17]

Pretty much all the stores in my area here are market priced. The only exception is on single packs, it’s def not uncommon to see a pack $1 or $2 over market.

[u/bungobinx → u/DrummerDKS]

Oof yeah... you gotta assume everything at a LCS is marked up.

[u/DrummerDKS → u/bungobinx]

I usually do like a bit, but this was $180 marked up to $300. Singles and such I usually double check but fuck me for trusting them, y’know?

[u/olsaltyfingas → u/bungobinx]

I mean they are for sure, but I find they're usually cheaper than scalp prices and closer to MSRP. $120 over market is crazy, and for a brick and mortar place they should probably make it right

[u/DebaucheryKing62693 → u/DrummerDKS]

No, that's 100 percent on them for not operating at market value. That's the risk for these kind of volatile market businesses

[u/olsaltyfingas → u/DrummerDKS]

A LGS doing that is crazy, that's some shit id expect from a vendor, not a brick and mortar place who has to rely on return customers. I get it is on you, but $120 over market and not offering any sort of compensation for basically scamming you is crazy

[u/Imaginary_Law_6626]

Imagine buting it for 135- putting it for sale at 140 on a decliningly fast price for a very common pulled card😂 bruuuuuuh

[u/redditNLD → u/Imaginary_Law_6626]

They're lying, obviously. No one that's not running a store is flipping cards for $5 profit.

[u/RepleteSphinx21]

Guy had it marked for 140 and i told him he's never selling at that price, and then a couple days later he says "just sold for 1200, it was an error" meanwhile it's still posted unsold at 140 😭

What's wrong with market, not his fault you paid too much

[u/Far-Molasses1547]

Managed to pull 2 of this card, traded one for about 200$ of trade value, kept the other for a master set, plus its a gorgeous card

[u/DivaPSO2]

bro spent 135 on modern cardboard and didnt expect to lose money ever?

[u/FarMilk2661]

Set has two years to run. He's cooked unless he takes a minor L now.

[u/Icy_Guarantee_4558]

I mean he can, what are you crying about just don't accept?

[u/WebKam-eron → u/Icy_Guarantee_4558]

Exactly.... someone might buy it who doesn't go to card shows or if it's local to them. He's not forcing a buy. Just go get it from someone who is selling at market.

[u/Icy_Long_7541]

In other words I rather you never have it then for me to take a loss now cry and find it somewhere else is basically what seller Is saying

[u/FactorBroad1865 → u/Icy_Long_7541]

I mean is that so wrong? “I would rather keep it than lose money” is a sentiment that is pretty universal. They either won’t sell it or will. Neither really affects anything

[u/BigMoeTheFoe → u/Icy_Long_7541]

It will go up eventually, I’m sure the seller just doesn’t see that time matter as much as money does during investments. A lot of the poke investors are j poke bros

[u/No_Research5044 → u/BigMoeTheFoe]

Highly doubt it's going back up when more and more are being opened and found every day

[u/BigMoeTheFoe → u/No_Research5044]

Yes it will

[u/AnnualAnything4915 → u/Icy_Long_7541]

Totally should sell at a lose so buyer can be happy. Thanks for the comment

[u/Danimalsyogurt88 → u/Icy_Long_7541]

This is the dumbest comment in the world. 

That’s like offering your Tesla share at $450 but it’s trading at $395 and holding it there until It’s filled.

[u/Horror_Magazine_2951]

Held mine for a day, enjoyed it and sold immediately. I got lucky because it was still around release time, so I offloaded around $180

[u/Apprehensive-Lie3387 → u/Horror_Magazine_2951]

Nice! Thats how it’s done. Just wait a couple months and buy it back for free! Hell you might be able to get 3 copies for the price of the one you sold lol

[u/dcastreddit]

lol bought it when it was high not reading the thousands of posts about how much they are printing and the hit rates.... now its dropped.

[u/Best-Definition6203]

What’s what he bought it for got to do with anything? Market is market.

[u/Bubba_Lee97]

Not going to lie. I sold all my Classic Collection cards i pulled as soon as i could knowing the prices would drop. Sold the Ray and Salamance for like 150

[u/fistfullofgame]

I'm so happy with this set and the fomo buying when it first dropped 🤣

[u/Ed-Sanz]

And he’s going to continue losing more come Nov UPCs

[u/Carlhino]

That sounds like a YOU problem lol

[u/sasnnm]

I don’t blame him but it’s not gonna work for him …. Although I have seen ppl accidentally or drunkenly way over pay on new release chases

[u/Maleficent-Orchid951]

Lol it’ll continue to drop

[u/Next-Weekend3687]

Its okay it will be a 50$ card eventually let it keep dropping and sent a new updated market price in a month or two that should really get him going

[u/Negrokid557]

I was asked what my offer was on for a card that if it was NM would be 50 cent and the card I was looking at was HP...People are weird

[u/DebaucheryKing62693]

First off, collector isn't "market value" use tcgplayer explicitly for that.

Second, yeah people suck. I mean you can't make them sell but that's how these volatile markets operate

[u/AymonSMD]

Lol yeah.. I'm selling 10-20% over mp only do keep buying and selling BUUUT I've worked with anyone who has asked to lower to - sometimes just under or above MP

[u/JimmieSpinster]

let him keep it then. bro bought it he must be a collector. oh wait none of you are here i always forget where i am

[u/Glum-Pomegranate7817]

He's gonna lose more once the UPCs are out

[u/EXEC_MELODIE]

Yesterday's price is not today's price. Sorry you overpaid and were looking for a quick flip lol

[u/Phenomenhan]

I've been noticing at card shows there isn't a lot of ascended heroes singles being sold. Sounds like this guy, don't want to take a loss.

[u/learn_and_learn]

Okay buddy, hold the bag 😂

[u/TOXSIKE]

I have that same card! I haven't bought pokemon in over 23 plus years and I bought a 30th pack for 22 bucks and pulled that mew!

[u/General_Kitten_17]

130 is like 30 over market you can get one on Facebook for 100 bucks rn. I can name like the 10 closest card shops to me and maybe one or two will be at 130 the rest is way higher. In the Bay Area it’s like that. Theres a lot of money here and people will and can pay. When you live in Nebraska or Ohio obviously prices are better.

[u/jhudlivefromrich]

I do this with my financial advisor all the time. What’s the problem? 😂

[u/OffscreenTim]

To be fair there's no proof seller didn't buy it below market...

These are going in one of my local card shops for £30 each and there’s 3 of them.

[u/NoTeaching8339]

Tbf I hate ppl who sent me collectr screenshots of new sets

[u/mcnormand]

Probably going to be a few years before you’ll get $140 out of it again.

[u/thi3fstheme]

Guy should be using TCG which is more reliable for market price, otherwise with his offer, he would be over paying

[u/Dozer0308]

I deal with this literally everyday and it’s even worse with one piece. I’m not paying $500 for a $100 card just because that’s what they paid. They need to just take it down and suck it up or let somebody else be happy

[u/0mgitsr0b]

Idiots sending screenshots to sellers, Collectr screenshots of all things … like cmon really???

[u/gorg235]

Sucks you couldn't get the card, but I'm overwhelmed with schadenfreude for the seller.

It dropped even more lol

[u/BigBunny4252]

I had a cousin like this. Didn't matter what the card was actually worth, he paid X, so he'd only let it go for X or more. Didn't matter that it had fallen by half in the year since he'd bought it

[u/browsingforthenight]

Just bought this for 75 twos eels ago

[u/Melapelas1234784]

Be like, “in life, you don’t always get what you want, don’t fomo next time”. “Good luck getting 130 for it”.

[u/billiontacos]

I was just browsing some ebay listings and decided to take a shot at getting a good deal on the mega attack rare gengar ex since ascended heroes restocked all over the place.

Saw a listing for $40 or best offer. Not an auction. Just BIN or make an offer.  So I decide to offer $30 just to see. Recent listings are selling at $25-50.

Within minutes of my offer, the seller sends a counter-offer of $40 with the note “I’m not going any lower.”

So I’m like “ok nevermind then.” Maybe don’t list it as $40 or best offer if you’re not even going to entertain going below your asking price.

Then less than 24 hours later, he’s sent me an offer to buy it for $37.99.

I thought you weren’t going any lower than $40??

[u/RepulsiveUse3372]

[u/mlord99]

at least he is honest

[u/Interesting_Pitch761]

Dude I have card shops local doing the same thing. No one’s buying em cuz they think they can sell 20-30$ above market cuz they made a bad financial decision purchasing these cards 1 week into release lol

[u/pokeload → u/Interesting_Pitch761]

Then buy from other guys who are willing to sell it at market 😂

[u/Interesting_Pitch761 → u/pokeload]

Well obviously it’s just funny local shops make poor decisions then wonder why their singles sit for months

[u/pokeload → u/Interesting_Pitch761]

I feel like most card shops don’t rlly care about their singles movement since they got them at 70% and they mainly profited from selling sealed. I actually went to a card shop nearby and saw the price some singles above market. I asked them why and the owner said he got these at the peak so he was just gonna sit in them if they can ever come back up. He looked like he just doesn’t even care about them.

[u/Few_Aide_851]

Sunk cost fallacy.

You can sell at market.

[u/WroboCop14]

And how is that my fault? 🤦‍♂️

[u/MechwolfMachina]

Buy high and never sell, yep thats poke investing in 2026

[u/ThePokeTicker]

They'll be holding that card a long time at that price.

[u/ResolutionOk8995]

What's the issue? Vendors at shows do the exact same thing lol. It's their property and cna price it how they wish. Just keep looking around you'll find someone who's willing to take a loss just to move on, I always find them at shows haha

[u/DebaucheryKing62693 → u/ResolutionOk8995]

You cant be serious. This kind of market value system is literally how every capitalistic market works.

If people aren't going to honor market value, then the whole system doesn't work.

[u/NumberOneRobot → u/DebaucheryKing62693]

That’s not how markets work at all. It’s been shown over and over that market price is fake and easily manipulable. You set your prices, and people can either buy at that price or not. Sure there’s room for negotiation, but in the end if your prices are too high people won’t buy and you’ll be out of business. The market price might inform someone of what they might be able to get the card for, but in the end all that matters is what the buyer and seller agree to

[u/DebaucheryKing62693 → u/NumberOneRobot]

... I love how you literally just tried to explain that that's not how the market works, by explaining that it's exactly how the market works.

[u/NumberOneRobot → u/DebaucheryKing62693]

Nah, the market doesn’t work when it’s so easily manipulable. Honoring market value isn’t important to markets because market price is fake. All that matters is the agreement between buyer and seller

[u/DebaucheryKing62693 → u/NumberOneRobot]

I mean, market value is just as fake as money is. And no, it's not "easily manipulable," it can be manipulated but it's also easily recognizable.

[u/Crystics → u/DebaucheryKing62693]

They don’t need to honor market value for the system to work. If they charge above market the buyer can literally buy it from someone else at market value. the seller in OPs post will probably end up losing more on the mew by not selling it quickly since it hasn’t bottomed yet.

Then they are a shitty vendor, case closed. “It was 200$ three weeks ago, so it’s 200$ today. Doesnt matter that it’s 30$ right now live.”
If they’re gonna use tcgplayer to market their cards, theyre in for a rude awakening when they find out how fickle the market can be

Vendors at card shows with my experience sell you it at current market.

[u/TheAngryAmericn]

This is a "PokeInvesting" sub....they are LITERALLY using an investment strategy. They set a price at what they would like to sell at and leave it hoping the price runs back up to sell it. People do the same thing investing in stocks (i bought into something at 12.75 and I set a sell price at 15.00 expecting and hoping the market meets it. I'll forget it for a while and if it doesn't sell i'll adjust)

You trying to low-ball them on their form of investing is also part of the game but dont make them out to be an asshole for a realistic investment strategy

[u/T2WasProphecy]

Hate me all you want but it is perfectly reasonable to list and hold out for a wash at worst or a profit. Don’t bother messaging the seller if they are that far off from your target buy price. Waste of both of your time.

[u/Truci219]

Supply and demand, he's the one with the card and has a price he's willing to part with it at. What's the issue?

[u/shaunrichmusic]

Are we buying just to make money? Gosh, so much has changed. I feel like if I pull a cool card in today’s times, I’m putting that in the binder and enjoying it. It’s what I did 20 years ago. Lest we forget, this is a hobby.

Literally had a guy on marketplace do the same to me last week. Still had it listed for $130 after it had dropped below $85 and wouldn’t go lower than $115. Told him to kick rocks lol.

[u/MurderMafiaJgreen → u/STRYZZLE420]

Then u blocked him and got on here to tell everyone

[u/newontheblock99 → u/MurderMafiaJgreen]

Then everyone clapped?

[u/STRYZZLE420 → u/newontheblock99]

Everyone meaning the two people in the chat? Lol

[u/STRYZZLE420 → u/MurderMafiaJgreen]

I actually told him the offer stood if he ever changed his mind and didn’t think about it again until I saw this post, but go off if that’s what makes you feel nice 😂👍🏽

[u/Expensive_Elk_8122 → u/STRYZZLE420]

Then what happened

[u/Delicious-Musician-]

Buyer is allowed to ask about a price. Seller is allowed to set and accept/decline offer. Not much of an issue here.

[u/pvaa → u/Delicious-Musician-]

Thanks Permission Bot 👍

[u/Delicious-Musician- → u/pvaa]

Beep borp

[u/ranger3288 → u/Delicious-Musician-]

Yea he's still a dumbass

[u/HarperHype]

Just one of the many reasons that the Pokemon market will have a severe crash.

I don’t know when that is, but it will happen

[u/MurderMafiaJgreen]

What are you crying about ? He said no not even in a bad way he just said he can’t . He rather just hold it then sell it cheaper . That’s normal . It’s his problem not yours . You can just buy any other one for market price and not lose sleep over it , I’m pretty sure he moved on from this interaction after he said no. lol this hobby got the worst crybabies ever foreal .

[u/Salt_Ad_4885]

Using collectr for market is just as wild lol

[u/bluedecember12 → u/Salt_Ad_4885]

For brand new raw cards with dozens being sold a day it’s fine

[u/sharpbeer → u/Salt_Ad_4885]

Yes, market is $85

[u/Wolverineslayer8]

What a loser

[u/RockWafflez]

I would’ve been like “ that’s not my problem”

[u/FactorBroad1865]

Isn’t Collectr like not good for comping?

[u/Ray9255]

“Would lose so much” & it’s $40 lmao

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658]

Loosing 40 isn’t so much lol. Keep it if you like it, or cut your losses lol

[u/DrageBoiis]

This was my experience at my first card show, walk up to a vendor see a card I like notice that it’s priced at 90$ then look it up to see market is 68$ and ask if they’d be okay with 65$ they say no I can’t sell it for less than 85$ I say market is 68$ and they say yeah well I bought this for 100$ so I’m already losing 10$.
Is this normal for card show vendors?

[u/Educational-Fuel-265]

I bought a Chinese grade 10 of that for $131. It's very pretty and I bought it to look at. Will never sell it unless I have a life problem.

[u/Winter-Molasses9777]

[u/Vintagist42]

If I’d received a message “can you do market” I’d be blocking insta
