I'm haggling to death with eBay sellers here that give the Best Offer option.

Managed to get a Full Art Glaile EX for £4 with free delivery and a Full Art Mewtwo EX for £5.50 with £1.50 postage from America (will get this in about 6 weeks probably ha).

Also got my eye on a few others I'm missing due today and waiting on a few other counter offers for bids I put in. Looks like I should be able to complete the BreakPoint set for between £100-£110 which will include all EX, Full Art and Secret Rares. BreakThrough is different, the fact there are 2 Mega Mewtwo EX Full Arts as well as the 2 Secret Rares is going to make it difficult to finish for under £140.00, but I should be able to command £180.00-£200.00 for the set on eBay...at which point I'll start on Generations! :D

I think I'd probably take the Emboar EX, Secret Rare Gyrados EX and Golduck Break. I think thats a fair deal including postage. Can you put me in touch?

I'll wait and see what I pull from Generations boosters before I start on the singles!

Dropped him a message to see if they didn't sell yet. He's probably at work so not sure when he'll reply. His name on Facebook is Terence Goodacre, got a red Pikachu T-shirt on in his pic, shades on, long hair and has someone else in the pic with him.
 
What do you guys recommend I do now? I bought the Fates Collide Box with the 8 packs etc. Whats the most cost effective method of completing this set?

The eBay seller I posted a few pages back has boxes for sale. FeloniousMonk is his name or something. He has Fates Collide boxes because he told me he does and he has accepted offers of £57 on his other boxes of 37 packs. After 44 packs total you will probably be 10/12 single cards away from completion.

@Ady87 managed to buy a box for £57 from that seller you mentioned. Thats now £145 spent in two days...!

Yeah I saw he listed boxes! Nice work, you could well complete the set. I'm tempted to get a box myself hahaha

Managed to pick up a couple more EX cards at a good price today after much haggling so I'm well on my way to completing two sets! Got 7 single coming in the post! Why can't I stop myself?
 
I'm on a budget this month and it does not include Pokemon cards. I'm retiring :lol:

Who's going to enter the realm of PSA cards then..

Never tried it myself, but I think almost every card I have would probably get an 8 or more, other than perhaps my Base Set Charizard and Blastoise with a little bit of edge-wear on the back. I think I'm most likely to give it a miss as I won't be opening many products and am just happy to try and sell my loose cards as they are if I can find buyers.
 
Just watched the Japanese box opening of the equivalent to Steam Siege expansion which comes out here 3rd August. Looks like it could be a nice set. Will be getting a box haha

Think it's worth messaging Mr. 57 to see if he's getting them? Haha

I am tempted to get a box, but I've got so much to buy in the next few months.. Managed to find my San Francisco flights for £440 which is cool, but I ordered the Ancient Origins box on a whim that the eBayer would sell out (which he has, and the Break Through boxes he had too). I need to pre-order a Generations Elite Trainer Box still, but laying £43 on a pre-order is hard for me to do haha! Also, someone is offering me a Fossil sealed box for £395 and a Base Set 2 sealed box for £500. I think all of these are better investments than the next set, but seeing the at £57 on eBay is just so hard to pass up as you won't get that price very often, if ever!

Also, I didn't order my Venusaur Red & Blue Generations boxes yet either... I'm so glad there are no video games I'm buying this year other than Pokémon Sun & Moon.
 
Having a look at the Fates Collide set. Loads of nice cards with some of my favourite Pokemon too. Might have to pick up a few Japanese boxes!

Probably a good idea, as that many EX cards is going to cost you well in excess of £100, maybe even £200. Better to do that over time than focusing on it as the main goal.

Yup. I'll probably limit myself to a box a month (for generations) whilst trying to complete fates collide by the end of the year.

Yeah, reminds me to get the Venusaur box ordered actually.. gonna see where it's cheapest as Chaos Cards are charging £20 which is a bit steep considering it didn't sell out on pre-orders alone like some of the other boxes...

Hmm that's a lot of EX's. How many are in the set? If you got a box you must have got a few too, did you get duplicates?

Can't see it for much cheaper anywhere else. Might hold out on that till next month. The Blastoise one seems very good value at just under £15.

I've still got to purchase those Mythical ones, too - a lot of money to be set a side.
 
Ady87 said:
If anyone has any of these from BreakThrough, let me know...

22. Mega Houndoom EX Ultra Rare
33. Octillery Rare
55. Raikou Rare
64. Mega Mewtwo EX Ultra Rare
84. Gallade Rare
92. Zoroark BREAK Ultra Rare
143. Judge Trainer Uncommon
156. Mega Glaile EX Full Art Ultra Rare
159. Mega Mewtwo EX Full Art Ultra Rare
160. Mega Mewtwo EX Full Art Ultra Rare
162. Giovanni's Scheme Full Art Ultra Rare
164. Mewtwo EX Secret Rare


That's what I need to complete the set. The list is quite a bit shorter for Break Point I think, doing that list in a min!

I managed to attain three breaks - Delphox, Omastar and Carbink; Mega Alakazam and Audino; 5 Ex cards.

Come to think of it, it doesn't look all too good. No duplicates as well.

I have addtional duplicates of Mew, Celebi, and Shaymin if you're interested? Could probably do the three for £50 delivered. Cost to buy those outright at the moment (shipping not included) is probably £60~.

Sounds good. If you want to hold out for a week or two, that'd be good. I'd rather wait a bit before spending a tonne more (I cancelled some booster pack purchases to avoid going into an uncontrollable addiction). PM the details if you want as I definitely would purchase this.
