I've heard that eBay and Pokeorder are good places to buy cards online, and the 'beach has the Trading Corner, but how do you ever know the cards aren't fake, or the trader is really giving you their part of the deal? Please help!
Buying cards online?
- Thread starter penny power
- Start date
^refs, on beach, and feedback on ebay, plus, not many people sell fakes, as they are afraid of filing fraud reports, just make sure the seller/trader has a good rep.
They guys around here are generally very good. I've never had a problem with any of the traders here that didn't get fixed. Unlike eBay, bad members here get banned. Then you have to start completely over with feedback. No one wants that.
You have to be really careful buying on ebay. Even 100% positive sellers can scam you. As I found out recently, you also need to make sure that the card they are selling you isn't from a worlds deck. You can't demand a return like you could if it is a fake card.
I suggest www.trollandtoad.com They have very fair prices and I've never had any problems with them.
Pokeorder is insanely overpriced. Case in point. Floatzel GL Lv. X ON SALE for $75. Its like a $15 card.

^lol at pokeorder "Gallade E4 lvl x, ON SALE 67.99"? lol?
Thanks everyone! And special thanks to X_empoleon_X, Pokecorner looks really good! I can't believe I had never heard of it before!
@ Amisheskimoninja and off subject: I did see your thread and I feel that the seller was not in the wrong.

I wasn't really wanting to start the topic again, just point out you have to be really careful not to get ripped off on eBay.
*sigh* Yes, really, let's just drop it. Thanks, anyway.amisheskimoninja said:
IMO there is a good place to get cards. The Trade Council only have responsible sellers that we pick and make sure they have good refs to sell to anyone if you want a reliable place, here would be good.
But also Pokecorner.com is pretty good but some of their prices and be a bit pricy. Toadandtroll.com is pretty good as well. And of course theirs eBay which is like a gamble sometimes.
And if you are afraid or worried about if they sent their side you could always ask (and pay for of course) delivery confirmation on eBay or on the 'beach.
So good luck with your search though!

Sounds good, thank you!AnthonyG said:
Wow, I think I'll buy from them, thanks!trevorispro said:
But...aside from the point, on TrollandToad, someone wrote a VERY stupid review for PROMO Mewtwo Lv.x: "I think this card is the rarest card I have ever seen in my life!!!"

Wow. Thats absolutely ridiculous. Its a $3 card that they have 66 of. I remember back when the pack version was $40 on ebay. Its kind of sad how under-appreciated it is.
Wow, I didn't know it went for that much! You're right, it SHOULD go for more now.amisheskimoninja said:
Gee, sounds good, thanks to you too!Taylor45 said:
This sounds good too, thanks!Frodus said:
Don't buy from Troll and Toad. I got a bent up Lv.X once from them and had to get a refund.

Buying cards from Professor-Oak.com...?
I checked out Professor-Oak.com, and I saw that some cards were very cheap with no shipping or handling costs, so I just want to ask: Aren't they losing money when they sell these cards? Why would they do this? The site is legit, right?
Thanks!
