So I got a bit of hate for this. I don't buy Pokemon cards from individual sellers, unless I have established a relationship with them. (Follow their content, Like their posts, shit like that)
But in a discord I'm in, I brought that up, and people got on my case and said I was a hypocrite because "I" am an individual seller. So they said "Why would we buy from you, if you don't support individual sellers?"
My response was simple. Individual sellers 90% of the time upcharge higher than market price. And I wanna get my cards as CHEAP as possible.
It's not that I don't "support" individual sellers, I just wanna get the best bang for my buck. And the ones I establish a connection to are often the ones who will haggle with me and give me a better price.
