11/9/14: Going to just continue things as normal as my own entity, if a single community is against my personality with the way I am, who I am, and the way I function, that's their problem and not my own. I'm here to only work on myself and not focus on them. I'm here to provide a good standing on my personal business than to bother with a problem a community is having against 'buying and reselling' or complaining that I 'harassed' someone even though they made me feel too anxious to function properly, thus causing me to message someone multiple times. I no longer want to associate at all with them and I hope that they can just leave me alone from now on and return the same favor.

Warning about pkmncollectors: If you intend to do business on there I wish to greatly suggest to be very careful. If you are buying lots of pokemon online and reselling them for profit or to make up for something (such as reselling what you no longer need at a price that's above what you paid for them including if you purchased the items at dirt cheap) (this includes everything you had no idea about that was in their community listed as a group-auction) to not associate with them due to the potential of getting banned along with harassment and defamatory against your business. And yes they will tell people who are involved with their community about you and your business in a negative way and state to "never buy" from you or your business ever again, including exploiting personal information such as you paypal account, your email, your personal name and your identity.

It is also not allowed to make a profit off of buying and selling a bunch of pokemon toys and figures on their community, you can get banned from doing so.


Rumors

There are some rumors being spread by the community about myself being a 'scammer' because I tried to sell some items for profit, I scored a lucky win with finding the giant lugia for only $200 and saying that I ripped them off (although it was a fair chance for anyone to have found, the price they wanted was $200 and was open to anyone who could have found it), I listed pokemon figures for $11 a piece although I had no idea they were worth $2 a piece until afterwards, and rumors that I 'harassed' someone about their pokemon item (Giant Lugia). I do not harass the people I want to buy from intentionally. At the time I was a part of their community, I felt too much anxiety to think properly due to the constant aggressive and hostile behavior I was constantly receiving when I joined. I also was not in a good mental state of mind to handle the hostility. I was banned for 'harassing' and 'not following rules' without me knowing, and was caught off guard because of it, completely in emotional shock and confusion.

I do not feel this to be a safe environment for everyone. You have to be a certain criteria and personality type to fit in.


What happened on Pokemon collectors?

When I first joined, I made posts but I got replies on my posts (more than one at a time) saying I did something wrong/bad or not right. To me they appeared very hostile and as if typed out in complete in anger/rage. It freaked me out and caused an anxiety storm and a hostile perception about the community members. It felt like a storm of anger or mob of angry people because more than one member was replying with the same thing in an anger tone (mini-modding). Every time I did something on the community it was soon driven by some or a lot of anxiety on my part to the point of asking for the giant Lugia from people more than once (being scared of people and the mental state I was in), it felt as if I couldn't even control my hands or typing or fingers at all.

I might have even deleted posts I made, I don't even remember.

*I posted a link to my eBay thinking it's safe to do so on their community, there was no rule stated about using eBay to sell stuff on there. Their slogan says: buy, sell, trade, etc. My prices were actually high, which I didn't know they were. I never knew they were called 'Pokemon kids' and shipped them from California in order to make a small profit for about $2-$3 a piece, my prices were $11 a piece because the only time I seen them on eBay was for $13 a piece. If I knew to search up 'pokemon kids' I would have found prices at $2-$3 a piece, thus not feeling them to be profitable.

*The post was deleted and I tried editing it, and when I was done editing it re posted without me knowing it was deleted since it kept showing back up (without me knowing it was deleted before it reposted). I think it re-posted TWICE due to my OCD as I had a few edits I wanted to make, but never meant for it to repost each time.

*I got private messages on LJ about what I did that was wrong, but did not know a thing about LiveJournal since I hardly ever used it thus did not know I got PMed until much later on. I was met with an angry storm of comments on my post to ebay with people against my prices and posting to ebay was not allowed as I never knew posting ebay sales was not allowed to begin with.

*Someone had the giant lugia in their collection and I've searched for roughly 9-10 yrs online everywhere just to find one, so I asked if they'd sell it. I was surprised to even see one on there, and they considered it rude to ask if someone selling something from their collection (never seen a rule against it). However, my multiple posts asking about it due to being anxious and scared of people there caused my posts to look as if I was harassing them intentionally, though I was only anxious and excited to find one even existing in the community.

*There was another giant lugia at a post office that somebody won, asking if they should I pick it up for $100. they also said they were charged the fee of $100 from the shipping instead of the seller paying it themselves after they bought it. If they don't pay the $100, it will get thrown away. I simply did not want to allow something I saved $5,000 to be thrown away- I wanted them to know how much I thought it was worth because I honestly said if they aren't going to pay it up I can go there and pick it up because it was so important to me. And yes I would have, and no I was not intending for my comments to look mean whatsoever, I was just being honest that the Giant Lugia was very valuable to me. Apparently a lot of members found my behavior to be very offensive though my whole heart and passion was with making sure that such a beautiful piece of art was not thrown away into the garbage. I never had intention of 'demanding' that they sell it to me and neither would I demand someone to sell me anything.

Buy and Resell

  I used to search on eBay for items lots of rare items or good deals, and garage sales. If I knew the item was worth reselling based on current market value online- I would buy and resell it for income. I couldn't make a living, and this is the only way I knew how to make money to buy stuff I want/need. This wasn't or never has been to spite anyone. It was mostly my only source of income. Recently however, I've been able to take commissions for a lot more money than reselling items, and i'm no longer interested in buying to resell because of the smaller profit. I'm also happy feeling as if I don't have to buy items just to make a $5-$20 profit each, or even $100 profit.

Giant Lugia

It was a dream to obtain and 10 years of searching for one. This is referred to by my other giant plush. I listed them on eBay to see what the current offers were (I couldn't list them as a bid, and if I listed with a reserve price it would have cost me $5/listing and I wouldn't receive offers). I listed as a buy-it now so that once I get enough offers I know the current market value for the item at that time, according to the current people who offer. If I see that the supply is high and the demand is too low for my taste, i'll just refrain for selling and keep it in the best condition that I can and list later to find out. I had offers of $3,000 and up but I felt later on would be a better time to sell. However I do not currently have interest in selling my Giant Lugia.

Ebay price and demand: Giant Lugia

There are often not a whole lot of views on rare items which are listed improperly with hard to find titles, and many people missed out on their chance on all three giant beasts- all I know is the offers I get on mine but I wait until the listing becomes very popular and widespread and then I sell later if I like the offer price. I just keep an open eye with patience to seek out the best prices, but there's no 'set' value on an item if it is 1) rare 2) eBay economy 3) supplies are greatly affected (such as the item is rare and supply could run a lot lower later on)... demand does become affected as well. It's a completely random ballpark game of chance (some times you find something that can resell for a lot more than it is listed and no one runs into it, this has happened to many items I have bought where later on I seen for sale for $500 such as the tomy lugia. I bought mine for $40 as you stated, and people do bid them up to $200 when there is more traffic and just from luck/seasonal), most people buy and search on eBay during the winter months. It's just a completely random game, MOST people do not search in titles AND descriptions as there's just too many items to go thru. There are far too many factors to just state that an item is a certain value when all of these factors exist.



Any time I ask anyone in charge of sorting things out, helping me, etc, no one provides answers to me. So I am just stating what I feel in a very honest manner and hoping I don't have to deal with this again.
Know Me Better Stamp by mylastel

"has been banned for obnoxiously "harassing many people to sell them Lugia items. The final straw was someone got the giant Lugia plush and they posted several very obnoxious comments saying the person didn't know the worth of it and demanding they sell to them". Warning, they will PM you trying to buy items from you. Deal with at your own risk. This person is infamous for wishing revenge on the community for an "unfair ban" and slandering members and moderators for what she sees as an usurping of justice."

There is a lot of misconceptions there! I was banned without any warnings and the thing I want most is to just have the reason I was banned (being banned probably done in a hasty manner since no one contacted me trying to figure out why things happened the way they did) to actually state honest things rather than fast and hasty misconceptions about myself that aren't even close to being truthful.

People are still talking about you just because you bought a second giant Lugia..? I hope they all get over it already, you paid for it fair and square and so what if you wanted to sell one for profit?? Smart idea if you ask me!!!
Anyway.... did you ever get my message on Lugia.us? :> I received your stuff a while back and thanked you for it ^v^ you know I'm still here for you, you're never excluded from the Lugia community at least.
