I’m a new collector starting last year and I’ve been into the China pokemon cards due to same Japanese quality but much lower prices. Can anybody point me to a middle man service that can buy off jihuanshe? (kind of like China tcgplayer). It’s a phone app and not a website so the China proxy companies have a hard time with it
@nintenbox0731 might be able to help
also looking for the same info. @nintenbox0731 if you have sources / tips, i’d be happy to listen in!
I have another group order starting in another week or two
Is there a general msrp for a Chinese booster box? Would like to just get an idea of how much I’d be paying compared to their msrp on some sets on ebay
MSRP varies depending on which set you are talking about as main Simplified Chinese has different types of booster boxes for different sets, plus Pokémon Shanghai had adjusted some of the box types for later sets.
In general the MSRP would be:
- For main sets including 151
- Regular packs: 10 CNY per pack x number of packs in a box
- “Fat” packs: 50 CNY per pack x number of packs in a box
- For enhanced sets such as X.5 sets: 15 CNY per pack x number of packs in a box
Did you have a person that can purchase off a Taiwan store by chnace ?
Yes but I do not think the card has released yet nor have I done a Taiwanese group order in over a year
I have a link to shoppe in Taiwan for a card I’m chasing I just don’t trust these mail services that buy on your behalf so trying to find someone to purchase on my behalf
are you still doing group orders? I created an account to reply to this thread as I am having no luck with finding a middleman lol
I have an active order that is going to close for submissions on the 21st. I am based in the US
Hi, I’d also be interested, looking for a Chinese Espeon VMAX and V Alt in PSA 10, wondering if it’d be cheaper than just getting it on Ebay (lot of 0 feedback accounts selling it with all the same pic lol)
Unfortunately I couldn’t find any listings for a PSA 10 on Jihuanshe
I likely will not make that cutoff. How often do you do group orders? I too am based in USA
I do them frequently but with de minimis ending and the new tariffs, I am going to pause group orders for a bit until I know for sure that my strategy of shipping to Japan first and then to myself will be reliable.
that makes complete sense in this time of uncertainty. I will follow up with you in the somewhat near future and see if you are still doing it thanks!
