As the discordians know I collect merchandise and memorabilia from the dot hack videogame franchise. I tend to be an impulse buyer when I have money and the item is rare or unique. This tends to work out well for me except one time I bought a fake funko for $1000. Shortly after this event I had the following event happen.
6 months ago a developer plaque for one of the dot hack games came up for sale. Not knowing how to authenticate it I convinced myself that it wasn’t an authentic item.
6 months later and it sold. All my dot hack friends assumed it was authentic so I had to go seek the truth myself.
I ended up finding the linkedin page of the guy whose name is on the plaque and messaged him.
I then dreamt about it all night. About how I would get this long detailed reply in how the plaque was fake and I was right not to buy. I wake up and the first thing i do is check the messages in my LinkedIn. I see that the guy has responded.
“Yeah those were given to members of the QA team. I don’t even remember getting rid of mine.”
FML I woke up to the nightmare.
Sometimes it’s better to continue to be an impulse buyer then to second guess yourself after a burn.
Idk man, kanade chan convinced me to never listen to your advice, and since you literally sleep with her every single night i think she deserves my trust.
But that fake funko pop story was quite a movie plot.
I haven’t really done anything with crimson vs but I checked the channel dedicated to it in the server im a part of and I didn’t see any mention of physical cards.
should have serial code on them. If they don’t then they’re fake but a lot of the fakes are easy to spot
