The life of a species collector I get this all the time
@eeveeteam where is the price list I must be blind and can not find it
Edit found it but snorlax not on there
oh man these are some prices. When’s the deadline to confirm? So I can try to figure out which cards to get, and which ones to wait on.
Tyvm for enquiring on our behalf. I wasnt sure what to expect price wise as I dont deal in niche languages, so I think I just vastly underestimated what the houndooms would be fetching.
I cant really justify 500 usd minimum for unseen condition cards that arent my main collection focus, so im going to pass
Again, really appreciate you doing this. Seems like its been a ton of effort!
@eeveeteam firstly I want to thank you for putting all the work into this that you’ve done. Really appreciate your effort.
That said, I’m in the same boat as others. too rich for me for what they are. I’m no longer interested in the Blaziken
80 just for the RH is rough, but it isn’t the most I’ve ever paid for one of these. Because it isn’t in my main collection, I’ll need to consider it. Feel free to tag or message me if it comes down to decision time and I haven’t committed.
Edit: welp, guess my decision has been made lmao
When I first posted this thread, I figured only a couple of people would be interested and the dollar amount would not be in the 4 digits.
I got overwhelmed by the number of messages, IMs, requests for photos, requests to negotiate, etc. Shipping is only $10 for 1 card from Russia. It doesn’t make sense to pay for a large package from Russia to me then pay shipping to each person. Also the talk of crypto and bank wires was too much for a guy just trying to colllect little Eevee cards and help others out along the way.
Here is the contact info on Instagram for the guy with the Russian cards. He is willing to negotiate, I just can’t be the middle man for all of this.
Your position in this is completely understandable. The thread really exploded! I appreciate all you were doing to organize this, and even though things fell through here, I definitely appreciate the contact info and will be sending a message myself shortly.
Thank you for the contact, and all the best on your eevee collecting!!
This thread turned into a category 4 hurricane overnight
There is a nematoad from SpongeBob joke somewhere in here if anyone wants to take a chance at it haha
Thanks for posting this, I nabbed these instead! Seems like I’ll never be able to afford the EX Gengars in Russian though
Congrats, I see on 130 point you got a great deal on it too
I will never join a group buy for a board, almost thought about it once but decided I was 100% happy with getting a nice board from Gazzew lol. For cards, though…take my money.
If I can’t use Paypal and many other services, how do I buy cards from Russian sellers?
One of the many reasons I stopped working on this.
Should try if he can work with someone in the EU
We are currently working out a safe way to send money from Germany to hot_land_dude. Will let you all know after figuring out.
Hello everyone!
Welp guys, because now I know who exactly offered russian cards let me enlighten you who exactly is this person. You can consider this as a warning message.
I had deals with him before. He asks too high prices, he can keep silent about the flaws of the cards (there were many cases of scratches on the holography and cards overall). Also, one of the reasons why everyone in the Russian community dislikes him is that he outbids lots and rakes everything in for resale, which leads to rising prices and insufficient supply on the market (As you can see, he is asking too much for cards that cost 10 cents here in Russia).
I do not recommend dealing with him.
If possible, I would like to remain anonymous. Thank you.
Did you ever figure this out orannge?
Hi Will!
I tried for two weeks, I installed different apps and even had two appointments with my bank as well. I also initiated a special transaction with 35 € transaction fees - nothing worked and I gave up. There is an embargo and transactions to Russia, Belarus or Kazakhstan are not possible from Germany.
Only way seems to be via Crypto - which I don’t have access to.
Best,
orannge
