You literally cannot make this stuff up…
Since that conversation I’ve been told “No way” to my offer. Hilarious!

Heres one from yesterday, teach me to never respond to a ‘buying wotc boxes’ post on FB again lol
Prices are AUD - which equate to about a $1050 USD offer for the 1st ed fossil and claims of $550 USD unlimited boxes being available

Haha that’s hilarious. I’d love to know who that is 
After my short time on facebook i think the problem is Pokemon Australia, Seems to be run by a few people who are just trying to rip others off?
But have had a few diamonds in the rough, so it has been worth all the shit posts…

Stone the flamin crows! Thats one fair dinkum deal there mate!
I saw that guys post, he’s dreaming, just because it’s the only one in the world doesn’t make it valuable. There are BGS 10 1st edition gym holos that were 1 of 1s sold by probstein a few months ago that didn’t break $300 IIRC. He’s not getting 1k for modern jank lol.

The story gets better, he asked me to give me his mobile number. Then he called me scared and a keyboard warrior because I showed him the sold listing and said no one will pay his asking price, because he didn’t even pay it

Oh man I haven’t been on fb for ages but I feel like just going on so I can check out Pokémon Australia again haha.
I remember once one of the admins was trying to sell a card claiming it was worth much more than it actually was. Just blatant lies and people were just blindly following an listening. In the comments I pointed out to anyone interested that SOLD eBay listings were much lower and if anyone wants to find out the value they should go there. Anyway my comment got deleted. I wrote it again and the second one got deleted too haha
Edit: he was promoting it in a video and there was gonna be a live Facebook auction so he was hyping it

Some of the difference in pricing is due to regional convenience. It’s easier to pay a bit more for an item in your country as there aren’t any customs fees. It can cost more to import, even for modern product. The same is true for Europe.

@smpratte with why i dont buy high end stuff from overseas too often. The invisible costs are more intrusive than postage costs.
I am one of the last few sellers who doesn’t use GSP and can get an item overseas without additional costs. 
. But I know the struggle. It’s unfortunate as it deters a lot of potential business.
