First one appears to have been removed second one is called a potluck. Description: “Potluck here! I dont know anything about these cards so could be worth alot to collectors!” No photos of the front of any cards, just of the edges of bulk, some in sleeves.

Look at their other items they have listed. Many holos and more desirable cards being sold as singles. Expect a big heap of junk in the potluck.

It’s my first ever thing I have bidded on and I’m gonna get junk ffs

That is my opinion, yes.

Surely he could overlook something decent and you may make out all right in the end, but I never bid too high on these kinds of lots, if I bid at all. Sure if it is a 0 feedback seller and the listing has only one blurry photo of a bunch of cards you may get lucky (and I have in the past), but when they claim to have no knowledge of cards in one listing, yet have hundreds of feedback and are selling other Pokemon cards are singles I just make the connection that they are likely putting a bunch of junk together to sell and trying to be vague hoping to get higher bids. Shady listing practices IMO. I sell junk like that every so often, but I show the faces of the cards and I call it what is… mixed bulk with nothing too great.

Hopefully someone outbids me

Why would you even bid on that?

It got out bided I’m alright now. I’m just new and don’t know what to buy.

Patience will save you a lot of money. Bidding on really vague lots like the one you linked will likely not get you very far. Haste makes waste. Try to set some collection goals and have an idea what you are looking for before you dive in. Then do some research, plan and search for good deals on what you are buying. Unless you are looking at really high end or hard to find stuff, most things in general are very frequently changing hands and not too hard to find good deals on.

Good luck.

I recon that cardboard might fetch a lot of paper!

I am at a loss for words… Looking forward to all of these being resold individually, hopefully!!

Don’t get your hopes up to much; I doubt any of those cards will be offered-up for public sale…
