Well here’s some of the more recent negative feedback:
“Packs were searched already. Scam.”
“old looking and boxes are all beat up”
“Argued with me about the opened packs .very very rude do not buy from him”
^ Follow-up “This guy will lie and rip you off…most packs were taped up reopened very bad”
“several of the packs were partially opened, did not get any chase cards - mapped”
Which really means nothing. I hear people speak of the watchers on their listings sometimes. It is frustrating especially when they use it as a reason for turning down my best offer as if they can get more since so many people are watching. Watchers are often times just that… watchers. If they wanted to buy they would have. I watch things to see what they go for often times without any plan to bid at all. Sometimes I watch trash items to see if people end up getting ripped off on them. I have items sit months with dozens of watchers and then I have stuff sell all the time with very few out of the blue.
Wowlootsellers is an ass, but he has good stuff. Just don’t even bother sending best offers as he will only drop about $1 on $100 items. I haven’t been able to get my hands on boxes from a few sets yet, but I was able to buy 36 loose packs of a few of the sets I was missing. I got normal holo distributions in my packs. Sometimes a little less than 12, sometimes a little more. I find that people will buy 2-4 packs open them all and when they get no holos they claim weighed. They don’t understand the maths very goodly. 1/3 chance at a holo does not mean you will get 1 holo every 3rd pack…
Shocked to see such an aboslute garbage listing out of someone who has sold 5k+ items in the past year with only one negative. I’ll message them and see if they know it is against eBay policy… but it should just be common sense to not do that.
sheesh, he plans to somehow fit 1000 names in a single hat lmao. Also funny that he plans to rake in $4000 and only guarantees a $400 prize

Lol, what if he only sells 500, no1 gets anything?? I guess over $1,000 in profit is just not enough for writing names. He can just sit back and watch ppl give him free money until it reaches 1,000. Plenty of gain and no need to invest, if only it was that easy. Amazing how dumb he thinks ppl are.
Well the listing is down now, honestly just dont get how the seller lacked the common sense to know you cant do that on eBay.
lol, almost spat out my tea with laughter when i read “I know some of the Biggest Card Dealers in the Country but nothing can be bought for free.”
That is certainly a news flash.
update Lolz
$500 Caterpie EX. I had only seen the blastoise one, never the charizard.
"Clearly a charzard but marked Caterpie… COLLECTORS this is a must have in your stockpile. So rare you won’t find another one like it! "
Should message the seller and ask him if he can also supply it in Comic Sans MS.
I swear the people that make these fakes just put Caterpie on them for shits and giggles…
Seen lots like this lately… bugs me.
They’re everywhere, and selling for an absurdly high amount.
I personally think the majority of all fakes are made for shits and giggles. Most of them are so bad it would be funny and stupid if they were made like this as actual attempts to counterfeit real TCG cards. Some cards are much smaller; some have extremely different fonts; some have non-existing artworks; some have wrong names like this Caterpie EX or my ‘Raikou EX’ Pikachu; some are non-holo Full Arts or Ultra Rares… It’s like they aren’t even trying to be real (which is a good thing fortunately).
So far I’ve only seen two cards that are very similar to the real cards. One being a Base Pikachu (the two things that giving it away as fake were the 1st edition stamp on a shadowed card - which I missed initially…, and being slightly thinner cardboard that let through too much light compared to a real card. Apart from that it looked completely real, including font.) And the other being a Japanese Flying Pikachu (the only two things that gave it away as being fake was it being a thinner card, and non-glossy. At first I thought I had discovered a new non-Glossy variant, but it turned out to be fake. Again, everything else, including font, looks completely real.)
I’m afraid of the day they are actually counterfeiting cards that are nearly indistinguishable from real cards based on photos alone… Now fortunately 99% of them are a dead give-away as being fake when you lay eyes on them.

The worst thing is, the buyers will eventually find out and will stop trusting the process which will really hurt the hobby and its growth.
I remember pondering why fakes were so bad when I was seeing them on holiday in Cyprus as a kid - it seemed so outrageous that someone could be so dumb to make a fire type Caterpie with 6000HP, then I realised that the fake market demographic really isn’t your serious, or even not so serious collector but more like people buying them as gifts, or just buying them for the hell of it, or people who didn’t know any better so they didn’t really need to be that good. There was no extra financial incentive to make them accurate but now in the days of $50,000 and $16,000 sales it does make you wonder if there will be a more serious second wave.
It seems as though fake stamps are the current ‘best’ effort. I still find it hard to imagine that holo cards can be faked well enough to fool a collector but you never know with all the printing technologies supposedly more available to people now than in 1999 and the rewards could be huge.
The fake stamps started coming in around #255…
It’s safe if the card your buying is pre that number. If higher than 255… Either don’t buy or be extra careful.
What are these “fake stamps” never heard of them before
