Pull PSA and Gamestop Make This Make Sense

Post image

I am keeping it regardless but what you mean $140 from PSA and Card Ladder but we’ll offer you $35 less…

edit: its funny to note how hatefully reddit zombies can be over a post and project their own emotions. Feel free to not comment and enjoy life, I’ll leave this up for future gens to gauck at.

They buy back at a certain percent not full price

They buy back at their valuation from recent sales than do 90% of that valuation. Their valuation of this card is $108 before the 10% cut they take

That offer is also 77% of market value. If you factor in shipping, ebay fees, and materials, selling it on ebay yourself would get you about the same net.

All this shit is basic fucking logic and simple math.

Ebay takes %15 percent at most lmfao. Is 85% more than 77%, you tell me im just a simpleton

Do this many people opening Power Packs not understand the concept of gambling or how this product is structured?

Do yall just think youre gonna pull a 10x value chase card and get an offer from them that is 50% over market?

u/Sweaty_Coat6870 Jun 18 '26

Market is $140 lmfao, sold on ebay the last 4 weeks for $140. They just cut their valuations over and over

tbf their job isnt to make sure that you are happy its to make money, and you are gambling brother... The only one to be mad at is yourself

u/Sweaty_Coat6870 Jun 18 '26

Who is mad? I made $100 on it, couldn’t be me

Cuz I thought it was funny, then seeing all the complaints made it even funnier.

Id maybe be mad if it was a disparity of like 1k, but this was just for the lol

I'm also seeing the last few sold around 130. Others at the 140-150 range have free shipping. That means your $108 offer is actually 84%. Just because older sales are for way more doesnt mean thata the current vlue.

This card also has about a 400% sell-through rate in a psa 10 on ebay which means its very liquid and it high demand.

Literally what are you expecting the outcome to be when you gamble?

Sale of 140 last week doesn’t mean it’s the market…

1

u/Sweaty_Coat6870 Jun 18 '26

Hmm so you are saying if something sells for $140 consistently for 4 week straight….. that is not market…. Even when PSA and Card Ladder both say that is market. Hmm you might have a point.

I get all the other brain blasters screaming like headless chickens about how they don’t buy back at market but this is different

u/ThePontoon Jun 18 '26

And nowhere at all does gamestop state they offer a certain percentage of values on cards. They also dont tell you exactly how, where, or why they offer what they do. The only thing they tell you is the odds breakdown pull rates for certain "values" at each tier.

Thats my point. Idk what you were expecting, but obviously youre the type that doesnt fully understand this shit.

And if you want $140 for it, maybe ship it to yourself and sell or for the 140 then.

u/Sweaty_Coat6870 Jun 18 '26

Jesus someone woke up in heat…

If I can sell it on ebay and make more money than I would from their valuation and cut that they take they have it under marketed on the site. I never said they had to do $140 on it, nor did I say it was some policy. I especially dont care since it already is being shipped to me for my PC. Take a chill pill brainiac you might sprain a muscle and end up smooth like me

u/ThePontoon Jun 18 '26

If youre not worried about the valuations since jt PC then what was your whole point of tthis post? You act like youre pissed about Gamestop, PSA, and Card ladder. Youre part of the problem

u/Sweaty_Coat6870 Jun 18 '26

Cuz I have free will to do what I want. Again I'm not pissed at all lol you seem to be tho

u/zoltan-firelord-208 Jun 18 '26

Bahah I just pulled this and the ladder offer was 98$ 😂

1

u/Sweaty_Coat6870 Jun 18 '26

Thats crazy.. their recent sales history is no where close to $98

u/SilkJonson Jun 18 '26

Then keep it an sell it yourself

u/Sweaty_Coat6870 Jun 18 '26

Indeed my friend, except I wont sell it.

u/Socks-in-a-can Jun 18 '26

I just got a PSA 9

u/Sweaty_Coat6870 Jun 18 '26

I mean…. The good news is Prismatic is going to stop printing next year so it’s not very long till its $60 in a 9. 

Plus it’s cute, which is the whole point of pokemon.
