Figured I might as well officially make a WTB thread, even though it’s not exactly new information that I am looking for this card.
I’m offering at least $30 for the card in any condition as long as it’s still in one piece and if the card is in Excellent condition (by Cardmarket standards) or better I’m putting up an offer of at least $80 depending on the exact condition. Of course there’s also a bit of room for negotiation, so if any of you have the card, please feel free to write me a message and we can figure something out. Also offering a $10 finders fee now, so if you know someone who has the card for sale or see it listed for sale somewhere and lead me to a purchase that way, the $10 are yours.
Adding some hints incase you or someone else finds it helpful.
Mercari Japan searches for Staraptor XY8 or Staraptor xxx/xxx is too specfic.
Searching for Staraptor and going through every listing, as well as just searching XY8, might lead to finding the card in a bulk lot. I found a few of my L2 unlimited cards from multi card listings where the main search would not have found it.
Best of luck on your hunt, unlimited Japanese is so rewarding when you finally find it. Most of the time, it’s only a fraction of your offer price.
I know, I’ve been searching daily for “XY8” and around weekly for “ムクホーク” on Mercari and Y! Auctions for over two years and have found plenty of other Red Flash Unlimited cards due to the former, just not Staraptor. I of course also have set up an alert on Cardmarket and have “XY8” in my saved searches on ebay as well. But yeah, generally good advice when looking for cards on Japanese online marketplaces.
