Can't we all agree that @smpratte is the NPR/BBC of Pokémon? No BS, no sensationalism, just straight up facts!

If you think NPR and BBC are just straight up facts with no be or bias, you are just as deluded as those who believe that Sun & Moon booster boxes will be worth as much as WOTC ones in 20 years

Thanks for making this video. I'm a mod on Reddit and I appreciate the shoutout, we are always encouraging respectful buyers/sellers/traders to join our community. Instagram is another beast itself. I both love and hate it. It gives a great platform but there is a ton of bullshit to comb through. -HammyN64

For trolls any attention, no matter how pathetically bad the attention is, is better than no attention. That's how desperate they are.

Motivational speech man haha I was in the gym training when you were saying, "you can't just lift the same weight every time, you have to increase". Didn't seem like a Pokemon video at that time haha One video idea or question: How's the market on common and uncommon first edition base set? I recently picked up a few hundred of them, thanks!

That's the truth, I respect what you have to say. No opinions just facts. Ebay needs to fix this bc I hesitated for half a year to buy a psa 1st edition shadowless Charizard bc I didn't know who I could trust. I was telling people to take pics with their ebay name, with todays date. I finally got one, but it's scary now.

I would recommend reading the book "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" by Whitney Phillips. It gives you a good insight on trolling.

Hey, Scott. Hadn't heard about the tampering--super unfortunate for all involved parties and (as you mentioned) the hobby as a whole. Out of curiosity, what were you guestimating it would end at before all this happened?

Someone not only autobid 5 times ($2) but somehow changed it to $2.50 at the end of the auction!? I bid once $2.25 at the last 6 seconds sooooo wtf? I messaged the seller and see what's going on? Mine was the higher bid at the last second until I check the bidding list and it shows the list d $2.50s instead of the $2.... Ugh

I spend roughly 150 to 200 per month on Pokemon. Would I be a low resource collector? Are their any problems specific to collectors in this bracket? Is Virbank like Efour? (I am on Efour and am wondering if I should look into Virbank, or is this problem representative of the community on Virbank) Thanks
@smpratte

Virbank is the lowest tier of "marketplaces" and is very unregulated. Typically you have to sift through a lot of nonsense, and haggle with someone. If you have the time you can probably find something for slightly less than ebay. E4 is an information resource for collecting, and is more regulated. For example, something like this tampered bid situation would not fly and would be dealt with in real time.

what would it be called if someone artificially made a listed price go up on a card, by making fake purchases on your own cards you sell, just to show it can sell for a higher premium than it would otherwise naturally?

I hope you know that a bgs 10 1st edition base charizars is like 'the' biggest card in the game. To be honest I would be surprised if it didnt sell for more than $50 000. And how do you even know they were shilling? One of the bidders had like 22 feedback and the rest had 100+ with 100% positive. I agree with everything you said tho.

The steroid point was pretty bad imo. The vast majority of athletes do steroids, and it’s better that way.
