tea time ☆ things that need to stop in the photocard collecting community 

😅

😡😡😡😡😡😡

what song was it 😭

Randy we love u yes tell them hates ...

We love when u dance

I hate so much when people don't delete their posts! if the item has been traded/sold/claimed take it down or update the caption to let everyone else know!

I agree to this so so much cuz this has happened to me so many times seriously...i'm interested in something like a pc and the caption lists only the item or sometimes price and it does not even say which ones are sold or not and when u dm them they say its SOLD OUT!! Idk whats so hard about updating smh...

I've had experience this once and it's annoying how they didn't even bother to update. and everytime I ask for pc availability, I had to wait for 2 days to get a reply like wth man??

So truuee.. There were even some that got annoyed that u dm them to ask about it. I mean, how the hell we're supposed to know if u did not update it right?

i can't believe people claim they're stans of a group and say something like this lol

RIGHT... and u see it in other parts of the fandom too like on mercari japan u can get 94 line pcs for way cheaper than maknae line..... like theyre not worth the same. its so annoying and disrespectful

WAIT people actually DO that??😭😭

I agree. That's literally why I don't collect PCs at all because the price just doesn't make it worth it(?) but I can understand (to some extent) why it's priced differently. There are members that are more popular than others and more people want it/are willing to buy it (demand) even if the price is unreasonable. People just take advantage of that.

Ikr, I always buy set PCs and if I have duplicates from the album I got, I hAnD iT oVeR tO mY fRiEnD’s fOr tHeIr bIrThDaY lmfao

$10 CHILDD WHEREEE I be seeing Taeil same prices as other members depending on where the pc from, but idk I haven’t fully started collecting Taeil yet, I’m slowly getting there 😂

exactly taeil stuff are always cheap which is good but also upsets me

@@dianaliz5443 I saw Taeil's neo zone kihno on twt for like £6 and it made me sad that people don't value him the way they do other members, but congrats to moonis who don't have to break the bank to complete their collection. 🎉

OH FR!!!! I’m struggling so bad with jungwoo kihnos bc he’s been priced so high lately and for what??? it’s the same as any other album card just in different packaging

I collect taeil and mark and I can attest to this. Taeil is sooo much cheaper to collect and it hurts bc it feels like they “value” him less 😐

tbh i say that because i want people to pick a price that’s comfy for them. i know a lot of ppl overprice so i find it better if the person tells me what their limit is

I say that because shipping varies wildly depending on the country and shipping method

Audrey.v. p exactly!

that bothers me so much

I absolutely agree with you. I just started on my collection. I watch you channel for information. Thank you for posting.

jungkook's wife omggg i saw a Jungkook magic shop photocard for $64 😭

Baekhyun and chanyeol 😭

taeyongg most of his album pcs are okay priced but when it come to kihnos omg it’s like almost 80??

Don't forget san and seonghwa💀

As a Baekhyun and sunwoo collector it’s so hard

this is honestly a great way to explain it omg

LMAO

I'm bad at the prioritizing part so I'll literally buy food AND photocards and then I'll have to hit my mom up for gas money.

Yes. That's how I used to save up money for albums in high school and early college. My mom would give me lunch money for the week and would let me keep whatever was leftover. I would go for meals that were filling but cheap. And if I REALLY wanted an album I would bring my own drink from home so I wouldn't have to buy a $3 or $4 drink from school. It just built up over time and I would usually buy 1 version of an album so I would have leftover cash for snacks, other hobbies, or emergencies. Also, a lot of those people make it sound like they brought their WHOLE collection in ONE go when usually it's built up over time.

Right, I just starting collecting now that I have a full time job I have a bunch of photocards but not because I make a lot of money, I’m a teacher. After I pay my bills, but groceries and pay for medication. I then set a budget for the month on what I can spend on cards.

you get more bang for your buck when you buy a few extra copies of an album anyway like you're big brained and people are hating asses!

chaebom just finished your video but rob list jokes make me feel uncomfortable ~ but thanks for making this!!! a lot of us can definitely relate

@@Deartenn ofc thanks for watching bb and ofc i'm honored bc we are a hayley stan in this house

People need to be reminded the re-selling community is HUGE here. You can buy 5 copies of an album and sell the other 4 if yah wanted. It always erks me when kpop fans complain about people buying more than one album, like hi, hello we can resell the set if we wanted too and get some of our money back.

I did the same.

dont get me wrong i price everything correctly bc im not an asshole but tbh if they wanna price them that high let them. The average collector knows an itzy preorder card doesn’t cost 60$. They dont owe selling it for cheap to anyone but sooner or later they will figure out that people dont buy their overpriced stuff. If you see someone overprice pcs just move on and buy it somewhere legit. I see so many people sell “popular” stray kids PCs for 20$ each. I just dont buy from those people and search for a fair price. If you buy from someone who already scams u with the price you are better off buying from someone being honest about prices anyway.

​@rocío naw, you can tell them, but it isn't your business what they price their things at. The best you can do is just not buy the item. Anyone who is smart enough to do their research will see dozens of listings for way less and the overpriced seller will get drowned out and forgotten until they lower their prices. You don't need to say anything.

@rocío do as you please, but know this often starts fights and can be interpreted as rude since everyone is entitled to sell their stuff however they like, even if it is annoying. Rarely do you succeed doing it.

@rocío I'm glad you haven't had trouble. I personally see it all the time over facebook and twitter groups. At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to sell as they please.

I agree. It is ridiculous how pob photocards can be a lot more expensive than the whole album and its inclusions and some normal photocards for around $30. New collectors are often fooled by this pricing.

I literally only do qyop when I have no idea what I want for a card.

omg where are you getting victon pcs from

I want to collect victon but even for them the only PCs I see are always $10+

Right! I’ve just started my ateez collection and it’s so irritating.

Lauren M1 i collect jongho and wooyoung and people price jongho’s card for $20 but then go pricing wooyoung’s for 2x that amount don’t even get me started on the people that price san’s photocards why over price, and when you go ask if you could lower the price to something reasonable they get mad. like i know you wanna sell your photocards but it’s why to much especially because they mostly have album cards rn

@@leiaelise7883 I want to start collecting Ateez pics but after reading your comment, i'm not so sure since its overpriced. Do you think I should even bother?

Adeolaaa i would recommend more going to instagram and finding someone to buy from, usually they go for about $10 but do not buy off ebay most of the time it’s over priced. people are selling their fever pcs on ebay for $20+, sometimes i’ll find a set for cheap and hold group orders which is helpful, my instagram is woosans.trades

YES ! you can never find ateez under 10 ... it literally ruins the fun i can’t even collect my ult group bc they’re priced so much .. and that’s every member i saw a yunho pc for $60 yesterday .. A NORMAL PC .. it sucks

this ^^

tbf i can see the frustration but some of us are really broke and it's just laminated paper after all hshjshjsjks

Especially since a lot of people sell their photocards on mercari for at least 12$ or more Trust me I’m actually really thankful that some people on mercari sell their photocards for 8$

This. Like if $8 ain't good enough, then you need to look for another seller through facebook or twitter or something bc mercari is going to take its 10% in seller fees and then you're gonna take another $3-4 to actually ship the item. It wouldn't be worth all the effort for nothing in return.

@@darthestaaar if it's just laminated paper, then dont buy it? i mean yeah, it's expensive but it's really all just supply & demand (ex: how loona cards were sold in the $200s) nowadays anything below $10 is a steal apparently soo,,, tbh i'd just make them myself

@@zee3e lmao no need to tell me what to do, i can have an opinion just like u can

Sulli as well, it is so disrespectful to be trying to make a profit off someone's death. It honestly makes me sick.

just commented the same thing, copies of story op1 and 2 sell for hundreds. I luckily got op1 for 30 but all the other listings started at 100

Wait, really? His albums were still in stock at retail price for a while on my usual sites after his passing. I could never bring myself to buy one because it would just make me cry listening to it

Seventeen collector here, ive seen an ode pcs above $10 and is so dumb when the album is so recent Also with henggarae, im getting tired of looking for pcs and seeing the prices are too much

@@lecturaslunares926 yeah i feel that :/ the max i feel h:g pcs should go for is around $6 usd considering it's an in print album that sold over a million copies....the pcs aren't rare at all and the album wasn't expensive either

@@ErwinGamalong Oh yes, the ktown4u were overpriced comparing to how easy it was to get them Ive seen them being sold the same price as the Apple music, synnara, interpark hmvs

Yeah agreed, for my personally I have cards that I’m not collecting anymore so I’m finding people to trade with, so I can help with their collection

i absolutely hate seeing ppl price members higher than others

ume I don’t like it either but that’s just capitalism at its finest. I feel bad for very one who collects all these “high-end” photocards

I just wanna say thank you so much for commenting this! I just started out with selling/trading photocards and I was basically just going off of what others were doing with info highlights etc & I wasn't really aware of how people perceive the whole system with the emojis. I never went the route of ignoring people that showed they didn't read my info-because that is just very rude :(-but I'm glad to have seen this comment and get more insight on other's feelings. Thank you for indirectly helping me out!! :)

@@MJ-wl8og oh wow i didn't expect this to be helpful to anyone but i'm very happy to help!! 😀

I've never bought PCs off instagram so I didn't know this was a thing. I got secondhand embarrassment from this. 😭

I've never seen that! that's crazy that people do that though. I have an info highlight, but I would never play mind games like that. it definitely feels very snooty. people complete a 100 trades and think they're better than everybody else or something. 🙄

@@loveyourselfrm3154 right! i get if someone says to read their info to avoid being asked the same thing but why are they making someone take the time out of their day to "prove" to them that they did. they act like it's a privilege to trade/buy with them and they're the only option like no i don't need the card that bad and will move to the next person

OMG YES I SAW SOMEONE PRICE A POB CHAN CARD FOR 100 DOLLARS

✪㉨✪ at 6v6 some exo cards will cost you your whole life than some will be so cheap I low key feel sorry for you

I'm an EXO collector, too, and frustrated that Chanyeol is hella more expensive than other members. I collect the whole group so it's hard when sellers turn it into a popularity contest.

Melissa Palmer that must be so hard because I want to start collecting Kai so imma just pray for my bank account

fr! and then when the price isn't what they're looking for they make you feel like shit for lowballing when you just didn't know.

chaebom exactly!! hence why I don’t even bother with them, I’ll probably find the same card for a set price somewhere else

Poor baby, I don't stan Monsta X, but I love Hyungwon, so.. If I could buy his photocards I would be very happy. He is very talented, handsome, and funny

their search feature is so bad honestly...

Heyitsmari yes, can’t companies sell photocards on the side so we don’t have to go through the whole internet history to find good prices and avoid all rude people and so on😂

hhhhhh the SM shop in Korea sells photocards for around $3 each. I bought some while I was in Seoul. You can pick any group, any member, any album from SM. Idk if the quality is any different, but it's the official store and it they felt fine to me so...

Taz Z wow😳 I wish i can go to korea to get some merch then comeback

@@Riaaonline haha it's worth going if you're interested in seeing the country itself. I had a really good time and the merch was just a bonus

Taz Z I wanted to go there for years now but I’m scared since I’m poc

These are the dumbest omg its like they're just desperate to make profit or something 🙄

$6 for an itzy unti is such a good price as well 😭😭

@@francescas07 right?? but i just checked the seller's page again and they posted new sales and their proofs are on their twitter.... which is on private 😬 good price but very shady

UGH I LOVE U

Ahh I love you two ! 💕

chaebom 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

I never interact with qyop seller, can you share your experience how they behave? 👀

thank you for watching and being willing to hear me out!

not the same thing but ive also had someone who talked to me about trading a photocard and then they randomly said “sorry someone just offered me the same for ___” and its like why are u bothering talking to me

Do they also put taehyung on a higher price than the others?

@@noa7978 Yeah most of the resellers usually will sell taehyung more than the other members but Jungkook is always the most expensive😢

Liz Puentes Avalos really?wow I didn’t know that. That’s so weird to me cause actually when I see people collecting the members I almost always see other members and not taehyung. I barely see taehyung collectors

@@noa7978 there are lots of them on instagram and i collect taehyung too. His pc's are always very overpriced just like jungkook's

@@vasundharashukla9091 damn, I wanted to start collecting tae too for a while now but this photocard collection thing seems so expensive. And people literally have no shame for pricing taekook more than the other members.. literally hinting they’re better then than them

lydia I know, all prices are CRAZY. Cheapest I’ve bought, excluding shipping and custom fees, was for $12. That’s almost too much in my opinion. Blackpink is the only group I collect all members so I can “spend the money” but I really gotta look constantly for good prices. And it angers me so much that the album only comes with one photocard but there’s a total of 16 different ones....? Like why YG

Alice Halvardsson exactly! i’ve collected ot4 for square up and ktl and i cant even collect ot4 for hylt i’m only collecting rosé since she’s my bias bc i cant afford to collect all of them it’s just way too much money it’s annoying

lydia I love all of Rosé’s cards they’re always so beautiful but are like the hardest of them all to find😅

Alice Halvardsson I’m always pulling Rosé but I wanted Jisoo’s pc for HYLT and they were really expensive

then you’ll also have seungmins photocards that are half the price (which is good for seungmin collectors but why cant everyone just make the same prices for all the members)

Besides if you just sell the members at the same price you’re so much more likely to sell the pc lmao

Dence Lerma I personally haven’t dealt with any emotionally attached sellers, but like why are they selling it if they’re so attach they have to mention it? Just trying to earn more money and sadly it works often bc some cards are rare and hard to find :(

issa scam luv

literally don't know why. I once did a GO for 0 profit, and the mfn headache it was. I would rather buy my own album than host a GO to scam people into paying for my stuff. I'd make more money picking up an extra shift at work than sitting my ass down for hours packing orders for people just to scam them into covering my album

these people scare me fr 😭

if she wanted you to collect ar cards how about she fund your collection??

honestly we love this energy

omg king reiner we love u

basically im also browsing ateez photocards (im not buying them because i dont have enough money to balance an album collection and photocard collection for the while) and theres this one user on instagram called @/bchyselling and basically they overprice ateez photocards so much like for example one of their posts is for the zero to one photocards (ateezs second mini) and they were selling san mingi and jongho and for san his card was $25 but mingi and jonghos photocards were $13 which all of them are too expensive and they were saying that all to zero (ateez first mini) and zero to one were out of print which like hun no you can literally go on ktown4u and buy the albums like come on
