Last week I snagged all 21 issues of the Pokemon Trainer magazine, all still sealed with the cards for just over $80 delivered to my door.
That was a good auction! They don’t appear all that frequently, at least not so many at once and then sealed aswell. I saw it too and sent it to a friend, unfortunately for him it was sold when he looked it up. Did you also buy the neo sets with the shinings from the same seller?

No I missed out on those but I’ve previously bought complete 1st edition E3,E4 and E5 sets from that seller. As far as I’m aware he’s all cleaned out now just a couple of lower value sets left.
Here are my favourite deals so far ( on ebay ):
-
PSA 9 1st ed. gold star Charizard for $550, what a bargain!
-
Lot of 10 japanese gold star cards ( 8x 1st ed. / 2x UED ) for little over $400. These are currently at PSA and only 3 of them have little flaws, otherwise I’m really optimistic about great results.
Winning a base set booster box on auction for $75 the other day… Haters gonna hate 
haha Joking! I wish I was that person!
Pics or it didn’t happen 
Was that before or after I bought my Illustrator for 99ct?
might not be considered a major score but to me personally it is just got a psa 10 sabrina’s espeon for £24 total (including postage )

I’ve got no reason to lie, but i probably wouldn’t believe it either.
Going through my ebay feedback atm trying to find it…
1)Purchased a Pop5 espeon ($120) and umbreon ($100) from the same website ungraded. They both graded PSA10.
2)Purchased 3 pop5 packs, and got a espeon first pack (which also graded psa10)

Less than a year ago someone from Germany was selling a FRLG master set, Deoxys master set and Team Rocket complete set along with 4 gold stars (flareon, Jolteon, vaporeon, gyarados) all for 850 shipped. I sold both rev sets for 200. So I basically paid $650.
I graded all the exs and gold stars.
All EXs from FRLG got psa 10 charizard, blastoise Venusaur to the legendary birds
ALL EXS from TV rocket returns go psa 10
All EXs except manectric & Crobat got psa 10
Psa 10 Rayquaza Gold star
PSA 10 Latios Gold Star
PSA 9 Latias gGold Star
PSA 10 Mudkip Gold Star
PSA 10 Torchic Gold Star
PSA 9 Treecko Gold Star
PSA 10 Jolteon gold star
PSA 10 Vaporeon gold star
PSA 10 Flareon Gold Star
(Solo gyarados because it was NM/Mint)
Not a bad score for around 600.

paid $1.38 for a gem mint ENGLISH crystal charizard, on a yahoo auction site outside of japan.
Hmm… some that stand out:
When I was just getting back into Pokemon cards, I bought somebody’s small collection on eBay for about $20. There were a lot of rares and holos from Dragon Frontiers, but most surprising was that Mew gold star was one of the cards included, which even back in 2009 was worth much more than what I paid for the binder.
About a year later I won the entire Vending 1 set from eBay seller for $0.99 + shipping. I know I have the receipt somewhere in the e-mail with the exact price but it was dirt cheap. I was worried they might be fake or something because there were no pictures in the auction listing, but they turned out to be legit.
Last year I won the entire set of six JR Rally promos for about $20-25 a piece - and they were still sealed, even. I usually rip open anything I buy sealed as soon as I get my hands on it, but for these I’ve made an exception.
