Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Great Trades Thread

Back when Darkrai Lv.X first came out and was actually selling for $100 on ebay:

A guy had a Darkrai Lv.X for trade. I offered him $100 cash for it. He said "No thanks, but can I see your trades?". I showed him them and he wanted to trade my tin Lucario Lv.X for it. I looked at him strangly and then we traded. So... yeah. Try and figure that one out.
 
My recent great trade:

I sent
Luxray GL LV.X
Leafeon LV.X
2 RH DCE
2 RH Looker's Investigation
RH Pokemon Communication
6 RH Professor Oak's New Theory

I get
Victory Medals
2006-2007 SPRING
2008-2009 AUTUMN
2008-2009 SPRING
2009-2010 AUTUMN
2009-2010 SPRING
2010-2011 AUTUMN



Like baby mario said :nonono:

I'm not brilliant at prices, but isn't that unfair on you?

Also Skitty, $100?? :O That's. . . Just wow I never knew that. To then trade it for a Lucario Lv.X. . . Wierd lol

It was only selling that high the first week of pre-releases. It went down pretty fast after the set was actually released. I guess it was that high because it was a new Pokemon and had a "big/amazing" attack.

Either way you look at it- no, not really. From my standpoint as a collector definitely not.

I sent
Luxray GL LV.X $70
Leafeon LV.X $25
2 RH DCE $24
2 RH Looker's Investigation $3
RH Pokemon Communication $8
6 RH Professor Oak's New Theory $12

Total $142 current value- these will only drop in value as they are rotated and no one cares about them any more; they will likely fall, collectively, to about the value of just one Victory Medal in fact.

I get
Victory Medals
2006-2007 SPRING $25

2009-2010 SPRING $25
2010-2011 AUTUMN $35-40

Total Current Value $160-165- these will go up in price over time from a collectible standpoint.

I agree, getting a bunch of playable cards now that will be rotated for a bunch of promos that will more than likely hold their value..... pretty easy choice for me to.:thumb:

Going to sticky for now.
 
The weekend:

Traded like
5 legend pieces (2 hooh, 2 RSL (1 foreign) and 1 lugia)
for:
1 Donphan Prime
1 Gatr Prime

I traded Gengar AR and a sableye for 2 Blaziken fb, and continued to stock up on them. Not as amazing as some other stories, but I have been getting really good trades out of them.

And a trade I made ages ago, my Shiny Drifloon for a Uxie LvX. :)

I have a set of starter plushes I am about to Ebay... those should go well...

I traded Infernape X for Lux X a while back. I told him that he was getting the worse end I could give him something else, and he was just like ... nah.

But I guess that was karma, because I pulled Lux X out of a box when RR was released, and traded it for Mismagius X... ><
 
This is one I keep forgetting to post, and probably my best trade:
