This topic has potencial, ill start it with a theme deck:

  1. Sealed Lockdown Theme Deck IN SPANISH (rare as hell! with Lapras cosmos inside)

  2. It was listed for U$S650 and the offer accepted was U$S140 (Seller sent an offer for U$S250 which was already cheap, countered 140 and he took it, couldnt believe it)

  3. I do! This was a couple weeks ago.

I’ve posted this before, but I still think about it all the time because I feel kinda bad about it. This was an auction with best offer on, so I sent an offer of 25 + shipping the first day it was up. Still have them since I don’t sell anything:
-4 lugia promo coins
-near full set of viz video 3d promos (in near perfect condition) that came with VHS tapes
-4 blockbuster snap station cards
-other stuff


These promos can sell for 50+ each in good condition. For example:

Bruh. And no misspellings either, that’s where I’ve been lucky.

Not sure if it was objectively a lowball due to there not being much pricing data, but it definitely felt like one when my $400 offer on a Portuguese XY booster box listed for $700 got accepted two years ago.

A blurry picture of someone’s thumb, but with an immaculate description of holos ranging from Base through Rocket, led to one of my better pickups. I offered super low just to start the conversation and get some more pics, and to my surprise, they accepted. I was even more surprised when around 30 WOTC holos, all NM or better, showed up packed incredibly carefully.

LOVE to hear that, amazing. Do we think long gone are the uneducated listings nowadays? That’s another topic I’d love to dig up / start.

  • During superbowl… 2022? tossed $25 at a PSA 9 squirtle arcanine. Seller accepted. :scream: I think they were distracted. about 66% below.

  • $10 for Zapdos ex AR PkMn 151 at release, slight crease. (maybe not lowball, but a 50$ card.)

  • Complete HGSS Triumphant reverse set: $222 in 2022, they needed to sell for bills, but I didn’t know at first.
    One of my most cherished parts of collection, and probly can’t bring myself to sell… Would feel wrong.

I didn’t lowball offer but got lucky on a random auction. $3k for a PSA 9 blue stamp 1st edition pack when they were $5k all day raw. It should be a 10 but crimp was cut slightly crooked. It’s now in the $11-15k range.

Got battered on the international postage but should be an easy flip.

I want to be transported back to a time where a PSA 9 non holo was a failed grading play and was considered a junk slab.

Another lenticular lot with Viz Video promos. The listing price was already too low at 40, so I offered 30 :sweat_smile:. Nice deal if the described condition is accurate
