Again please don't send any hate towards this person. The point of this video is to inform others about this person and red flags that come with purchasing any collectible items. It just sucks that it was from one of our own. As well as thinking about it more I probably should have blurred out the name and that was a bad judgment call. All I can ask is for no one to bully this person.
Long time fans have been there. You know what sucks. I saw that pop at a swapmeet once, authentic, along with Soul. Regret not getting them. 😭 Still sucks people try to scam each other.
Goddamn man. That sucks. You gotta give this man respect, he spends his good time on helping us look for what we need and want. Why do this to him???? It's ridiculous.
Glad you were smart enough to beat the scam! Also, this is why I highly recommend people to ask for some kind of time stamp with the pop to add some extra proof that it’s actually in their hands & always be cautious with purchases. Make sure you have protection incase anything ever goes wrong. 😊
Wow sucks that this happened to you! People think that they are slick! You aren’t their favorite he is just trying to get over on you! Thanks for sharing!
I’m sorry Skittles that you had to experience this. Idk what that person was thinking tryna scam you, someone who is SO experienced in the Funko world. Keep your head up King 👑. Your true subscribers are here backing you up and truly are supporting you 💖
Never been scammed for a pop but I did get scammed for some Smackdown tickets and the way that person acted in your situation reminded me of the same bastard in mine. Learned my lesson tho and definitely has helped me in collecting pops. Great video tho man. Glad you didn’t get screwed.
So bad man!! I'm glad you caught the person and did not fall into it!!! Also I'm very happy you shared your experience!!! Awareness Awareness Awareness!!! Thanks a lot!!
That's disgusting man! You do not deserve to be scammed as you are one of the most genuine youtubers that I have came across! Hopefully this guy doesn't end up getting someone else that doesn't know how to spot these scams
Wow! Can’t believe a subscriber tried to pull that! I’m always cautious when buying grails online for reasons like this. Glad you were able to sniff it out
That's sucks man, I'm sorry you had to go through that. Can't believe someone who supposedly is a fan of your channel actually thought they could get away with scamming you, then having the nerve to try again. Whoever they are, they're not a true fan of you Skittles, we are! Hope you have a better day and luck on finding a legit pop 😊❤💕
When dealing with buying in-hand collectables, hand written time stamps with the persons name a date is always needed in my opinion, then you can know if they actually have it and you can check if it's fake or not.
Also closest I got to getting scammed (not bragging, I tend to buy from stores I trust for this reason, only ever made 2 Facebook purchases and a handful of eBay ones on pops way too new or too cheap to be fakes) was someone in a group who was refusing to do good and services for a Wynonna earp chase. I see 1 red flag and I don't have time to deal with more.
I'm glad you were able to notice the fake before funds were sent. This is a great video letting people know what be aware of when buying online!!! Keep doing what you do!!!👍👊🤙
I hate when people post China websites that are selling $25 grails and think they found a gold mine and ask if it’s really. Especially if you’re doing it on a BST group.
I just started my Funko collection in Dec.2020. I'm really sketchy when it comes to buying pops outside of Big Box stores , IE: Funko,FYE,Target,Walmart,BestBuy,GameStop. I've noticed there are online shops that are funko pop based sellers. Any information that yall could provide with what online web comanies are legit. I'd greatly appreciate it. Happy hunting yall!!
Im a new collector aswelll.... However ive seen deals plenty times on grails for like $30 like Vegeta Arlia then i check where the funko i gonna be shipped from is always China i know forsure those are fakes.
Lucky for me I found a super mint Law for $50 about 3 years ago. Can’t believe I thought $50 was a lot back in the day. I was like 4 months into collecting as well.
Thank you for the info. I try to do my research. Sometimes it is sad to say there not fans just try to make it seem like they are to so you can fall for their tricks.
when I saw law's hat, I Immediately knew that it was fake, and some discoloration of the box. Thanks for sharing this Skittle, hope you find a legit one.
Ive been almost scammed on Mecari 3 times saying that they dont do anything outside Mecari and their card keeps getting denied multiple times. So this person says I needed to "activate" my account. He then wanted me to put $100 on a Vanilla prepaid card and send it to this skwtchy mecari email! PSA this please!!!!! Luckily I found about this "Vanilla Prepaid Card Scam" early before I made the transaction but I want people to be aware of this and I shall no longer be using Mecari!
I currently bought sanji and doflamingo they scanned in the funko app but now im concerned since they dont have the shonen jump on top of the One Piece logo
@Warlock Don't worry they are actually official as the modern One Piece Funko pops don't have the Shonen Jump on the top . They just have the One Piece logo.
I'm sorry that happened. I'm sure you've got a lot of resources but I'd try fugitive toys. Thanks for the video too because it's always good to know about how to authenticate pops! Have a good week!
Oh man this makes me very nervous. I recently got into the funky pop scene and I bought a DC super heroes Blue Chrome Batman #144 for about $260 and at the time most where going for over 300 or something like this. I'm definitely going to have to get it authenticated asap
That sucks, I’m new to this funkopop thing and I found this video very helpful. I wish I would have seen it sooner because I just got scammed on a JBalvin chase one on Etsy, thankfully I used PayPal and hopefully I can get my money back. Thank you Skittle for the good advice!
Thank God for PayPal and eBay customer service. My daughter brought me a young Carl and Ellie 2 pack for Christmas last year only to suspect it was a fake when it arrived. Not sure how much the seller actually charged for it, but she challenged it's authenticity and was supported by PayPal and eBay and her money was returned to her account. In the end she paid £20 because she knew I really wanted it.
I am glad i was able to pick a 7/10 damaged one for 100 euros. And it was legit because i ask the seler to send a photo with the paper with that days date, and we acepted paypal goods and services. For those interested in this kind of deals this trick with the date and first name on a paper next to the pop clears the problem of seller that use photos form other adds.
I was scammed by someone from China - fortunately, it was only $29 plus shipping. Since then, I only buy grails through the WhatNot app and have them hand verify the Pop. The $7.50 cost for this service is cheap insurance against getting scammed again. Fool me once: shame on you. Fool me twice: NOT in this lifetime.
I don't use paypal as a seller because I don't wanna get scammed. But people don't go through the app because they don't wanna get scammed? Im missing something
This happened to me once I was trying to buy OG Jessie funko pop from toy story and someone offer $50 for the pop and I thought it was a good price I paid for it and then a few days later he blocked me
Well, let's hope they get the unstoppable and explosive squirts in the most inopportune time and the most populated place. Maybe at a quiet restaurant.
@@SkittleRampage ,hey man, I've always been taught and I firmly believe in fair business. Do not rip nobody off. Anyways, hope you have a kick ass day!
Unfortunately I've had similar issues 3 times. 1st was buying a fake pop at a big comic convention, was trying to double up on a pop which I already had but when I compared them it was a fake (Only paid retail) 2nd was buying upside down spider-man on Facebook marketplace the guy shipped it in a satchel and came damaged so I was able to get my money back. The lastest one was different and expensive. The fugitive toys Spider-man pop was real but it was placed in a regular Spider-Man box with a replacement sticker. It's my fault for not realising the sticker was a fake as I was making sure the pop was real and with the Funko app and ppg both had various release dates it was only after receiving the pop and getting in contact with Fugitive Toys for confirmation that I was able to confirm the box was switched with a replacement sticker.
When is a pop considered a grail? Is that personal opinion or has it to do with the value? I knew the Law pop was worth a bit more but I didn't know it was considered a grail or something. I got it a few years back for my birthday and never looked up the value until two or three months back
@@2mini2titan yeah thats how it is for me but maybe others have different opinion. I heard someone say for them its pops that are worth more than $30 but i have plenty of pops that are worth above $30 in reselll value but i dont consider them grails.
@@2mini2titan i mean one of my favorite dbz characters is future trunks, i got a future trunks pop with resell value of $6. As much as i like Trunks to the rest of the world thats $6 pop far from a grail, if i list that pop as a grail on ebay no one is gonna consider that a grail they gone thinks its a scam.
You already know I don't mind helping out on authenticating as well, every pop has its own unique tell it sucks tbh all the research involved. Anime and horror I feel are the most common replicas you will find. You know I can relate, I hate it as well always someone trying to get over on someone else just to make a buck, and please to who all that read this watch for sticker swaps I see it everyday on Mercari (example)Sage Mode Naruto date stamp should be OG 2016, 2017, and 2019 if u want a true GameStop exclusive.. Sorry that happened Donte..
I’ve been looking for law as well only find the fake one, hopefully I didn’t get any fake I’ve purchased quite a few from Amazon good stuff man I’ll have to see of your videos on this topic I’m aiming to collect all one piece pops except that fall convention brook a bit out of my price range
That just sucks. And really if you had the real Law Pop wouldn't you have it in a hard stack? I've only been collecting since July but when I found all those Ad Icons at that rummage sale and then found out how much some of them are worth I bought Hard stacks for them and in fact the GITD Boo Berry is in a hard stack and now a safety deposit box. I just found the Evel Knievel and TLC Chili chases and first thing I did was put them in Hard stacks. Same with Simon Bar Sinister. It's bad enough there are scammers out there but from within the Community and a subscriber at that is beyond dispicable.
Nowdays, half of the people embrace the worst of us, while the rest of us try to stay to our truth and inner light. We all been taking advantage, some us more than once, thus, when happens I ask myself: "What would Naruto do?", crack myself up, put a smile on my face, and move on. Sorry to hear :(
Yoh skittle I’m about to buy some pops and the guy said that there’s some sun damage on the back and is selling it for a lower price. So is that a scam tactic or do pops really do get sun damage ( kind of a recent collector )
