Today’s Question:
QotD: Quick! You made some bad bets and you need to liquidate your whole collection and have the money in 3 days, how much will that local shop give you for everything?

Helpful Considerations: Actual value? Realistic walkaway amount? Sir, its all worth $3.50, regardless how many times you claim thats only Kurt’s on the Lopunnys?

due to the obscure and unique traits of a lot of my collection I doubt I would get even 20% of market. So many of the cards I own are worth something but I’ve got no doubt they can’t see the short term value. And they would be screwed trying to sell these items to local foot traffic, so I can understand why I would see a low low offer

Maybe I’d get 5% value if I threw in a blowjob and did this about 40 times:

It depends. Don’t even go in there if Stephen is working

Stephen would try to trade everything for a back rub

I think I’d have better luck trading everything to my local rabbit for a certain card involving Kyogre, than pawning that off to E4’s resident Dark Dragonite.

I’d probably do a 24 hr eBay auction tbh. But my lgs usually offers like 60-70% and they’ll take most anything

[RabidSquirtle]

My lgs offers 30%-40% cash and the management is really bad so if it came down to it, I might be lucky if I get half a moldy potato out of it

that local shop

Which local shop?

Anyway, if I had to hypothetically sell my entire Pokémon collection in 3 days to a hypothetical LGS (because hypothetically I can’t access the internet anywhere), because I hypothetically made some bad bets, I’d maybe get, hypothetically of course, less than 5% market value (assuming I hypothetically even know the total value of my entire collection myself).
