I’ve seen a huge increase in these types of listings over the past month or two.
Always annoying when you see a card you want to buy with “READ DESCRIPTION” in the title.
I actually ship cards in top loaders upside down. My rationale is that if the card slips out of the sleeve, it will stay in the toploader instead of sliding out of the toploader. I think the more annoying thing is why people take photos in toploaders (or sleeves at all) lol. It’s so fucking annoying. All it does is make it more difficult to see the condition of the card.
Someone posts an ad for a random pack, from a great selection of cards. All “random” chance at a No rarity Zard etc.
So I’m like. Spicy. Maybe this guy will just sell me his Zard. I’ll pay market rate.
I message and I’m like hey would you sell the Zard?
He’s like
“No, I want to give someone a potential shot to get a great card, for basically free”
“If I still have it in a few months, I’m just going to send it to PSA”
I’m pretty sure he has sold some of those mystery packs lol
Lol I really wanted to. I didn’t even respond after that. The tone was so off-putting to me. It irritated me that he essentially was saying, I have no intention of selling or giving this card away. Yet I’m selling 50$ chances to get the card randomly.
He kept talking about how much it was worth etc. the conversation went on a few messages, before he said that.
This stuff is just slimy.
I also want to mention. My initial thought was that if I bought that card. He would pull that ad, or change the wording.
Yes of course, that is how every SINGLE one of those things are. Most people are just slime. Like anyone would just give away a card less than its value by that much of a measure. No one does that. It’s another one of those cases where you don’t know who to scoff at, this scum, or the people who actually buy these grab bags! Honestly!
“Yeah I’m actually slimy enough to claim I will randomly (which in it of itself is a joke…random?? hah!) put in a $500-1000 card into a $50 lot 'cause I’m just that good of a guy! Buy for your chance to win!”
“Let’s buy that! I hope I win it! What a nice guy!”
It’s like most bullshit out there in our society. I like people who charge a lot of money for premium things. Straight to the point, forthcoming and right down to it.
