ahh those photbooks are so cute thank you so muc! i knew you would give great advice ! and i do need help finding trustworthy sellers for nct. right now i’m only using mercari but they’re wilding on there with the prices 😭

ikr?? I really wanna buy one of those cute collect books for my taeyeon pcs 🥺💗

INSTA & TWT SELLERS:

if you use insta or twt to buy pcs, check to see if the seller has a thread / story highlight of selling proofs aka they include screenshots where the buyer confirms they received the pc and it shows the seller’s username in the screenshot clearly. I made an insta (here) to sell/trade pcs, and please feel free to check it out to see what I mean! also, just do a lil account check like does it look sus or not LOL like there’s a profile icon, rules/info regarding sales/trades, seller’s wishlists are provided, etc - essentially, the account doesn’t look like a scam / brand new account with absolutely nothing there except for a selling post.

within the post that shows the pcs that are up for sale/trade, make sure that the seller includes evidence that they own it aka include their username on a piece of paper somewhere or have the pic watermarked. This is especially important for new sellers who don’t have much or any proof. Some older sellers with tons of selling proof already may forgo this.

If you buy from insta or twt, it’s much cheaper, but there’s the risk of the seller being a scam or your mail getting lost unless you are willing to pay for tracked shipping (if the seller even offers that). You won’t get your money back if it gets lost or the seller can ghost you if you reach out about issues with the sale 🤧 Most sellers use venmo or paypal f&f when accepting payment, so you can’t file a claim against them for those and get your money back. I personally have not been scammed yet, and I’ve bought tons of pcs this way - just be careful and assess the account before you buy.

also !!!! when you dm the seller like “hi! Is this pc available for sale?” and if they say yes, proceed to ask for a video of the pc ‼️‼️ this is super important because it provides more comfort that is legit, plus you can make sure there’s no scratches or marks or bent areas on the pc. and if the pc isn’t in a good condition that you want, you can always decline to buy it, but be nice and be like “thank you for the video! unfortunately, I won’t be buying it, but thank you again 💓” or something like that. If you want the pc, then proceed to ask them for their venmo or paypal and then complete the transaction lol

also, you have to be comfy with giving your address to them to mail you the pc - if you are a minor, please check with your parents or guardian first before giving out your address !!!!!!!

EBAY, MERCARI, DEPOP, ETC:

the reason why some people prefer to use eBay, mercari, depop, or one of those resell sites is because there’s basically insurance. You can report the seller if what you bought was incorrect / not as advertised or take it up to customer service to sort it out and get your money back. That’s the benefit of buying from those sites, but the con is that it’s more expensive because you’re paying tax and service fees as well when you buy the pc.

mercari is definitely expensive, but sometimes, the kihnos are cheaper on there than on insta / twt actually, so that’s what I mainly use mercari for. likewise, ebay prices for kihnos might be cheaper as well, so check for them on there.

If you’re interested, I can also go into detail about buying pcs on eBay, which can prove to be a cheaper, safer option if you buy a mass amount of pcs from one Asian seller (the intimidating $25 shipping fee is not so intimidating then, especially if you split it up between like 10 different pcs that are only $5 each - in that case, it ends up with each pc being $7.50 each which is cheaper than insta/twt and you have that buyers’ “insurance” that I mentioned earlier!)

I hope this helps, lovebug 💓 let me know if you have any questions or need any clarifications !!

p.s. I’ll be adding a tag to all my asks / posts about pc collecting to make it easier to find everything 💕 and I will clean up my answers later and put it in a nice tip format because I’m answering this in between meetings rn 😅
