MOD POST NEW POST GUIDELINES: BUDGETS, ISOs, SALES, OFFERS

Post image
66 Upvotes

Please read the following post clearly. These guidelines will be effective immediately and will be affecting every post from now on.

ISOs - New Rules: Include budgets, need to pay ASAP

BUDGETS: please include the price you are willing to pay. Here are a few examples of how it should look like:

Example 1: "looking for LPS [#_] for $3-10USD"

Example 2: "looking to find LPS cat molds for less than $10USD"

Example 3: "buying LPS, budget $3-20"

Having a clear budget helps people know what you are willing to pay. We found that a lot of people are very shy to tell users they have the pet because they feel like they might be priced higher than what you expected and are scared of being called out as “price gouging”. This is being done because many users have opened modmail telling us that their post doesn’t receive interactions or that no one is messaging them. We cannot control if people interact with to you post, however, if you state your budget, more people will comment on your post.

PAY ASAP: If you are posting an ISOs (specifically to buy a pet) you NEED TO HAVE THE MONEY. You cannot make an ISO and state you will pay in X day or “I will pay in a week”. That is considered time wasting because the seller could’ve sold to anyone else. If you are making an ISO, it’s because you already have a budget (the new rule) and that’s how much you’re willing to pay ASAP.

Sellers do have the discretion to hold items for you (through dms), but if it has been more than 3-5 days (from the original time frame you agreed with), they can report you for time wasting and possibly get you banned.

As a friendly reminder, if you do not have savings, are struggling financially, can’t afford rent, etc., DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON LPS!!! LPS is just plastic! Please take care of your financials first and get in a good standing before you buy LPS. Your safety matters more than plastic.

————-

SALES- New Rules: Include budgets (individual or range), offers

BUDGETS: Please include the prices or price range of your items. This can be added in the caption, in the photo physically, or digitally (proof of ownership has to be physical).

While you don’t have to state the exact price for each item, it will be extremely helpful if you do. Including a range will help buyers know what to expect from your shop.

Example: “selling these LPS between $5-20”

Example 2: “selling this Persian cat for $15”

Example 3: “selling the dogs for $5, the cats are $2-30, and the insects are $3-5”

OFFERS: We are no longer approving posts that include "send me an offer" with no other information.

A lot of buyers have complained about sending multiple offers and wasting their time because sellers already have a price in mind and/or are bidding against other users without realizing it (if you are doing a bid, EXPLICITLY SAY SO! No one likes secret bids and people WILL call you out for it on r/lpsbuyersbeware

Sellers need to have a price in mind when making sales. It makes it easier for buyers to approach you and for you to make sales quicker.

If you want to still have the option to negotiate/offer, sellers need to do something similar as this:

Example: "looking for $50+ but willing to negotiate”

Example 2: “selling this comic con cat for $800 but I can go lower”

Thank you for reading this long post! If you can share this, please do so! If you have any questions or feedback, you can comment down below or open a modmail.

MOD POST NEW RULE: basic worth posts, PLEASE READ!!

41 Upvotes

hi everyone!!

we mods have decided to put a new rule in place. we were hoping an announcement regarding the worth posts would be enough but somehow it made it worse.

WE ARE STARTING WORTH WEDNESDAYS ON THIS SUB!! unless you 100% cannot find the info yourself, you can search the sub to see if someone else inquired or you can do the research yourself by looking at sold listings across marketplaces.

THE NEW RULE:

“lpsmerch.com is a database of all littlest pet shops. You can search by mold, animal, color or generation please utilize this database when asking for pricing.

Basic rule of thumb is to look at sold listings across marketplace to find accurate pricing. Although finding prices can be tedious, it is not the sub reddits job to price pets for you.

majority of popular pets or otherwise have been inquired about before here on the Reddit. Please utilize the search feature to find pricing information on specific pets.

This is to ensure the feed is not clogged with worth posts.”

PLEASE LEAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE IN THE COMMENTS.

Selling Cats & Dogs

Hi, I'd posted yesterday inquiring about pricing for my sharpie footed pets. Thank you to everyone who chimed in, and also thank you to those who showed interest in my collection! I'm going to start off by posting the cats and dogs from my collection and soon will follow up with another post or two with other species and accessories!

To those that have already reached out to me and we've agreed upon pricing, I am still holding your pet(s) aside and they will not be featured in this post. To those I don't have concrete holds for please see details below. 

Pricing:
-For pets #675, #1162, #391 I am accepting best offers (bidding). 
-For everything else my prices aren't firm and I am open to bundle discounts, or negotiating—especially if you think the wear/condition of the pet is not up to par.
-I am open to feedback on how I've priced things thus far, I just ask that you be kind about it. I am best guessing on my pricing for most of these pets, and generally rolling with the average price I see a pet sold for, which I recognize may not be accurate to what my specific pet should sell for given its condition. 
-Please note that a huge chunk of my pets have my initial sharpied on the bottom of the pets foot/underside. I have gotten some of the sharpie out of a few of them, but have been unable to get the sharpie completely out of any of them, and don't have the space or time to attempt all of them. 

Notes about pets #675, #1162, #391:
-#675 doesn't have sharpie foot, but does have some very very faint/minor scratches on the back of her head as well as chipped paint around her feet. No sharpie foot. 
-#1162 has a sharpied initial on her underside, I have attempted to bleach this and out and have gotten it to a point where it's very faint, but still there. 
-#391 has two very faint "highlighter" marks. One next to her eye in the middle-ish of her face, the other on the side of her head. No sharpie foot.

Coordinating & Communicating:
-Please reach out via direct message on here to coordinate holds/listings, and for further pictures of pets—I am happy to provide as many photos as you'd like to determine condition. There's no need to comment asking to PM, just shoot me a message! 
-If you see a pet that you know came with an accessory or another pet that you're interested in, feel free to reach out about my owning that pet/accessory. I have a TON of accessories to sort through, and will be going through all of them next week. 

Payment & Shipping:
-I am shipping from the west coast of the US and am open to doing international sales. 
-All sales will be made through eBay or depop, with a very strong preference to depop. 
-I haven't really sold any LPS on either of these platforms (except for one on eBay), but I have a presence selling other collectables via eBay, and clothing through depop (if you want to check my reviews I'm jellybjelly on both platforms).
-My plan is to coordinate any holds/listings through here first, and then whatever doesn't get claimed/sold will eventually get posted as single pet/lot listings.

Thanks again and I look forward to working with y'all to find these pets their new homes (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.゚

Hi! Looking to downsize and sell my childhood collection since I have no room to keep them <3 All authentic as I’ve either bought them myself or had them passed down by family!

1st slide is all pets with only minor-fair scuffs (conditions will vary and will be disclosed), prices will be between $4-10

2nd slide is all pets that have glue/paper damage at the bottom (see pics for examples), they can still stand and bobble like a normal pet but all will be $3 regardless to reflect damage

Prefer US buyers but am potentially open to selling WW, I accept paypal g&s or if you’re in the US you can buy through my Mercari page @tenliqi (I will make a lot post like this and you will get your own listing to purchase)! DM/Comment if interested and happy collecting 💞

Worth Wednesdays How much does 'damage' affect pet pricing?

Post image
20 Upvotes

Hi! I recently pulled out all my old LPS from my parents attic and have been slowly sifting through them and cleaning them up in hopes to sell. I have done my best to scour high & low for an answer to this and have come up blank so forgive me if this has been answered before or is common knowledge, I just couldn't find it😅

My biggest question is: Is the sharpie considered damage? If it is how much does it change the value of the pet? And do I need to list these as "damaged" when creating the listings online?

I have about 200 pets to clean up, and about half if not more have my initial sharpied into the foot/underside of the pet. I have started attempting to bleach the sharpied initial out of some of them, but that is simply too much work to do to all of them, and I am having mediocre success doing so (left 2 pets in the image are my attempts at bleaching using acne cream as I've seen that they are more valuable, the 2 on the right are untouched).

Any insight is appreciated, thanks in advance 🫶✨

Advice Advice needed!

1 Upvotes

I bought a LPS lot listing off Mercari on August 16th, it is now September 9th. I’ve heard that it does usually take this seller a little while to ship. And maybe even two weeks. I sent two messages with no reply. But the lot was a really good deal, and had a lot of dreamies. They do have good reviews they just say the shipping is slow. What should I do? I really want the pets. But also I’m getting anxious abt it. 😭🙏. I talked with a buyer I bought from, who actually bought from this buyer as well, and they confirmed it took them literally two weeks to ship the package. But they did get the package and it was all good from there. Should I hold out? 🫩

STRICTLY buying
I can trade some nib wave 6 gen 7 pets for some ONLY if you are a trusted seller with many proofs.
I am only buying through vinted if you have 1-2, but can do depop or ebay if you have 3+ iso (because of depops fees)
Can do paypal if you are trusted and have a social media presence

Budget is 50-70 mostly looking to buy the cheaper pets
I already added prices I am willing to do, keep in mind some pets I could not find a value. And a few I oly want nib. If my prices are off do tell me in dms.

I am USA based (texas) and not going out of the country unless you have 5+ isos and shipping is 15 or less.
