My dad did that shit to me as a teenager. Luckily a buddy of mine pulled up with his family and had an idea what was going on. So he bought the cards just to give them back to me in school the next day. That’s a good friend right there.
I was at a car boot sale one time. This woman pulls out a box of PS2 games (this was towards the end of the life of the PS3). I expected the usual junk and maybe a GTA, turns out it was full of J-RPGs, most of which I hadn't even heard of. It was clear that someone built this collection over time and a lot of money. I asked what she wanted and she said €2 each. I was shocked so I asked some probing questions. Turns out she got them from her sons bedroom which she wanted to "declutter" while he was in college. I knew that if I didn't buy them there were a dozen or so other flippers who would snap them up and stick them all on eBay, so I took them even though I felt bad. I posted on some collector forums that if anyone had been relieved of a significant collection of PS2 games(without saying what they were because that was to be the proof of ownership) to message me and they could have them back but never found the right guy, just a few chancers who would list off a few more conventional "rare" games, none of them even guessed one right. I still have the box and I'll sell them eventually, but not for now!
I was going to sell my cards... all of them at one point. My dad offered to buy them from me instead.. he kept them for me for years and gave them back one day. Thanks dad
350 Is a steal though. For everything he said. This dude is complaining about the dad , but tryna low ball the sad lower than 350. Dudes a scum of earth. He’s never 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 in the face before by some one that doesn’t care about any consequences. Weirdo incels love threatening you will go to jail when threatened, a person who’s willing to punch you usually doesn’t care, you don’t know there names 😭💀😂. Not dude in comments, I’m talking about dude in video. That dad was messed up tryna sell kids stuff with out them wanting it. But dudes a real Scuhm by saying nawww to 350x low baller loser. OP Lowballing is a basically same thing. Now that dad is Gonna sell it way lower cuz now thinks he was asking to much. Op should have just bought them smh. Dudes deff a incel. I 💯 doubt he has ever got his balls sucked by a hot girl. Actually nay girl hot or not.
Sounds like someone that has no idea the intrinsic value of collectibles. Let alone the personal and sentimental value of those same collectibles. If someone you cared about came to your house and tried to sell your sentimental valuables for quick cash despite your objections, you're telling me that wouldn't impact your relationship with that person?
@@mcleodautomation sounds like otherwise she was a great mom, if u dont deserve that mom and she doesnt deserve u and she does that to, then ya goodbye rotten human. my dad wasnt a great dad, i think a parent needs to b 3 roles of at minimum of moderate 4-5 out of 10 rating and a little complex rating when 1 is low or 0. my dad was 4 as a father, 1 as a teacher and 1 as a friend. if we go by yr it varied. while with my sisters he was a 766 and 877. i dont blame them just him. only in the last yrs of his life did he rly try to force himself to b a friend, but since he was so stuck in being a control freak parent it felt fake and was in his words just trying to make some good memories b4 he passed. since he wasnt shit or rotten and did the bare minimum and a bit more as a parent for me i still love him as my dad but could nvr like him, i like the few good memories we have which made things easier at least. im glad ur mom sounds like she deserves ur love. my biological mom does too, if i were to rate her on that scale id say shes a 648. :)
I once had this happen to me. But with a large video game collection, but i was the guy buying it. I saw the kid, he was 16 and crying. I bought the games and consoles and spoke to the kid. I gave him my email address and name and told him to contact me when he moved out. I sat on all the games and consoles, after giving them a clean up and tune up were needed, like new laser for ps2 dvd, replace heatsink paste etc. Left the stickers on them. Kid contacted me when he graduated college and moved out, i told him i still had his games. We met and he brought the money, not what I paid for but about 50% of what it was going for then on auction sites. I laughed and told him these were his, not mine to sell. Loaded his car with them, declined the $, and simply asked him to pay it forward. We are still in contact to this dayz talking about retro games and what mods are interesting/worth it to do. It all worked out. I simply put myself in his situation and did what id hope someone would do for me.
And this right here is why some kids dont talk to their parents anymore Edit: a lot of reactions on both sides which are valid. It doesn't have to just be Pokemon cards. I saw a comment about their cat being taken away without their knowing which happened to me too. 2 cats and a dog just gone behind my back. It's not just about the specific item. It's the principle behind it. The meaning and attachments you or I have behind the gifts. As a kid, you have 0 say in any matter just cuz you're a kid who "knows nothing". Shit just sucks
yeah, this happened to me with magic. my mom got all biblical when we were teens, and got rid of them. didnt even sell them.she is a collector of many things, and obsesively watches antique roadshow. one day at her house shes watching and theres a set of beta moxes and black lotus etc. she is always whining how she can never make a good find. i was thrilled to finnaly be able to tell her that between me and my brother, we had tons of these cards, in alpha and beta. got to tell her she could of paid for several houses with those cards. she was fuming and in denial. not worth every penny, but finnally got something worthwhile.
It's because you guys have too much stuff and never willing to part with any of it. Even when we ask you to do so. We the parents are too busy noticing what really is more important than other things, just to keep a roof above your head. You'll learn that sooner or later it's not to be mean, but to keep order.
@@RalphVB why should they part with things just because you asked? why should you violate that trust by doing it anyway as a "lesson" ? i do not understand people like you. hey why dont you get rid of your car. you know, i asked nicely, and public transport will do you some good.
i'd argue that dad loves his son by letting childish things go and start teach him to think and act like a man, grown men dont dont play with pokemon cards!
This Dad needs to be punished! Maybe call children services because this would mess up the kids for LIFE!! The kids won't trust ANYONE anymore and it will be the DAD'S FAULT!!
I live live my grandpa and he's like bad he'll legit just steal shit I buy and sell it, it's like 300 dollar cameras and stuff I threatened to call the cops on him once I got so fed up with it he's just a thief though to be honest 😅, the kind of person you don't feel bad when bad shit happens to them, but i still wish him well for the most part.
This is the kinda crap that puts you in the retirement home and your kids working as the enemy to take the entire house and deed in their name 😂 Take my pkmn cards I'll take your life earnings
My grandma straight up threw my cards in the trash when I was little said I don’t want you playing with devil toys. years later I’m still buying them 😤😤
Damn thats sad. My grandma told me pokemon cards were tools of the devil. I'm 10 years old like, they're fucking pokemon cards. Shit like that makes you look at them different forever
I work in a comic/vintage toy store and we get people who constantly walk in and look at our stuff with the first thing out of their mouths being “oh I had that, but then my parents sold it” with some of the stuff being worth hundreds of dollars. Never fails to break my heart as someone who’s also a collector
@@mujtabaalam5907 unless it made another kid happy it is a shitty thing to do. Lots of collectors go to garage sales looking for people who don't know the value of what they are selling. They get a great deal but the kid gets something they love taken from them and that can leave a mark.
I had stuff that's going for a lot but my brother let druggies in and they trashed our house and stole a ton of shit. This time it wasn't a parents fault.
my dad eventually just made me throw mine away... over thousands of dollars today... he was mad one day and said "you dont need all these your 12 now" into a black plastic bag......
My grandma sold my Gameboy Advance sp with my original copy of fire red, emerald, and Metroid fusion. I’m 24 and still struggle with holding resentment lmao
I'm over here grateful for my grandmother because she was the one who bought me my gba sp as a surprise. I didn't even ask for it. Then when the ds lite came out she surprised my brother and I by taking us to Walmart to each get one lol. My grandmother thought the handheld games were so cool. Love her
@@victor1655 remmeber wanting a ds lite so bad after i had a dream i was olaying w one. I got one like a month later and dropped that bitch in the toilet the same week. Im 25 and still extra careful around a toilet.
I remember my Dad just throwing my entire collection away when I was like 14... I think that was the last time I ever had a proper conversation with him
My dad did that to me when I was a kid, like I grew up when Pokemon cards first hit, I remember the start of it all. had stacks on stacks of 1st edition cards from the original set, jungle, rocket etc. I had so many holos including Charizard, Blastoise, Alakazam, Chansey, Machamp and many others. My dad was a geek I guess you could say, heavy into collecting and selling collectibles.He found me and my friends battling and trading one day, saw my holographic cards and told me he would "put them up somewhere safe for me" so I didn't ruin them because they might be worth something someday. I never saw them again. And now my 6 year old daughter is super into Pokemon cards and we collect them together,I would have loved to pass them down to her and see how excited she would have been to get to enjoy all the cards I collected from when I was her age.
Honestly they bought them for us; they can do whatever they want with them. That being said to this day I can’t find my cards and I had a first edition shadowless charizard; so I feel the pain too 😂
My mom threw it away cause we were growing up, bruv. So many yugioh cards, a bag full of em. We werent using it, to be fair, but at least give it to other kids or smth.
and if he really sells their stuff without them wanting to he deserves beign put in some nursing home to be forgotten. the disrespect and distrust you create with kids can go a very very long way.
Depends on if you want make it to the nursing home. Had a grandfather who was an ass but he reconciled with some family before dying of cancer in his own home because he wanted to go out on his own terms.
I remember the quilt I had as a kid I loved it so much. It wasnt a problem, I didn’t take it anywhere and I was able to sleep out easily, I just loved the way it felt and the way I felt when sleeping with it. It had a huuuuge rip in it but I didn’t care. One day I came home and my dad had got rid of it. I cried my eyes out and he didn’t care. I’ll never forget that…
Had all of my stuff destroyed as an elementary school kid and it seriously messed me up. I'm 47 yo now, recently diagnosed with ADHD and had I had that diagnosis as a child, I may not have had that happen. I wish parents would stop doing shit like this to their kids. They have no idea the profound effects it can have.
@@capitalizingcapitalist1202 pokemon cards are something that can mean a lot to people. Besides, that's not the point. The point is that he went behind their backs to do that, which is an *EXTREMELY* shitty thing to do.
It’s paper laminated, only uneducated people look into nursing homes. Educate yourself to be financially responsible, there’s tools such as in home care where professionals take care of your old self.. in your own home ahahahahhahahahahahhah
My mom tried to do this to me when I was an adult. I just went through a nasty split from my ex so I moved back home for a bit. My mom was having a yard sale and just started grabbing stuff regardless of who it belonged to. I had just bought a brand new Carhartt Coat and overalls. My brother comes and gets me and hands me my Carhartt coat. She had it out for 25 cents. A coat I just spent $100 on 2 months prior she basically stole to sell for a freaking quarter.
He heard the price you brought up and probably thought..."DAMN...you know what... maybe these things are worth more than I thought let me chill out for a moment." xD
I explained to my dad how much everything he sold behind my back would be worth and proved it to him by showing him how much I sold my Nintendo 64 pikachu edition for. His jaw dropped and I think he somewhat realized his mistake.
@@onatrainofthought cents maybe dollars. I remember someone had a binder full of reprinted hallow vintage blastoise cards cards. Bro thought he had 100k. Moral of the story, everyone wants to sell them… not one wants to buy them…..
Then TH-camrs go to Walmarts talking bout “yo this is completely sold out this pack is so rare” when in reality they playing little kid/grown men into thinking “shit I need to go buy these and potentially buy some from those people so I can make millions!!!(5$)
I remember one time, my step mom was helping with my school garage sale they were hosting at our schools gym. I went to my stepmoms table to see most pf my belongings up for sale. My PS2 and all of my games were sold. Couldn't do anything about it. I basically spent my whole high school years owning absolutely nothing except for a psp which was the only thing keeping me from going crazy.
Not a parent, but ya! Parents technically do and should "OWN" their kids. They are responsible for any dumb actions those same kids make; and can even end up in jail for them. That being said; selling collections like this is irresponsible.
100%. Same thing happened to me when I was a kid, but they sold the cards. From first-hand experience, we never forget and we will never fully forgive.
Yep. My mom's ex did this exact same thing with my DS that I'd spent a year saving for. Sold it and like four games for the price of the system new by itself. He was an absolutely worthless piece of shit.
Exactly. My mother would do similar things, threaten to take my cats to the shelter, threaten to throw me out of the house, you name it. It took years, but I learned that my childhood was actually abusive and I'm LC with her. It took me so long to realize that I didn't deserve to be abused, almost too long.
My father has watched me spend $$ buying old toys I used to own. One day he said... "Damn I should'nt have thrown your toys away." I said... "Oh you see that now?" He said... "Yeah. I could have sold them to you for alot of money now." 😂😂😂 Love ya Dad. Your the best Good times, Great Toys, Taught me to fix things and shared your wisdom.
maybe they if they were in a tight financial situation and needed cash i could understand it but just for a quick buck would make him an asshole for sure
In the full video the kid is actually the one whose rejects the sale. The dad even told him beforehand that he needed to be sure if we wanted to sell them bc he didn’t their actual value and once they’re gone, they’re gone and they can’t get it back. He was fully supporting them and didn’t want them to regret their decision. 👏🏻
My dad collected comics as a kid & always kept them in good shape in case they were ever worth anything. His mom didn't understand why he was so protective of them and after he left for the military let his younger siblings get into where he stored them and they DESTROYED them. He eventually sat her down with a WIZARD magazine where he had circled the value of the most lucrative ones she had cost him. He grew up in the 60s & had Fantastic Four 1 & Spider-Man 1 among others. I've heard that story from multiple family members and they all say that she was SICK to her stomach when she realised what she had cost him.
My parents weren't able to afford Pokémon cards in my youth, no worries I love my parents fast forward to today I collect Pokémon with my son he has minty base set holos and almost all the Alt Arts from sword and shield and up. One of the best feelings watching him pull bangerz I love my life!! 😊
My parents used to pull shit like this. They'd round up my video games and take them to the pawn shop for some quick cash. Several times I would have lost them all if other relatives hadn't gone out of their way to get them back for me.
I bet les gold would not accept your video games I think Les Gold would give your video Games Back to you and tells your parents he won't take them . He would give them $1.00 And they would be mad and like " Seriously???" This would backfired them so hard and Karma
Oh man, my mom did that with my older brother's magic cards years ago. She sold his whole collection for like $100. Even at that time his stuff was worth over a grand. Probably over 15 grand today if not more.
@@zoomboomhoom4403 In all honesty, if this is the case, would you want people doing things behind your back? Honesty is quite valuable imo in many kinds of relationships.
Why? Not like you would have offered her more or what they were worth. Mad you didn't get to resell them? If you were collecting that's one thing. But more than likely a reseller got there before you could resell.
Similar thing happened with my mom and my transformers. I had a 1st edition anniversary toys-r-us exclusive masterpieces Optimus Prime my grandpa got me for $80. Mom threw it away because "you're too old for toys" I showed her that that same toy went for $1000+ now.
That's a traumatic experience for the child, no doubt about that. They wouldn't have built such a big collection if they didn't want to keep it through adulthood.
That be crazy not talking to parents for life for selling their Pokémon card which can cost thousands. Though I be extremely mad and still wouldn’t let that go, I need to learn to mature and not put that aside (if that were to happen to me)
@@drwho9319 Don’t mess with things others care deeply about. Shouldn’t matter if it’s it’s grandma’s old authentic silverware set or Jr. Pokémon cards, chances are they mean a lot more to the owner then the price alone. Plus, if you feel disregarded by your parents, you are under no obligation to invest your time and energy on a person who isn’t willing to see greater value in your own personal enjoyment.
@@qs-ii1872 emotional maturity is what divides that grudge, allowing adults to proceed forward and still communicate. If parents sold my yugioh cards. My pops never did that and valued collecting, but his parents gave his toys away. That lives up to a person till adulthood. I told him not to keep that grudge. Still doesn’t justify abandoning your parents. Now if the parents did something inappropriate to their kid, then that’s a different story. But I understand your point, it’s extremely wrong for parents to do that.
I’d be devastated! When I was 14 I couldn’t handle selling my AG dolls. I literally burst into tears at the thought. Like good parents they kept the dolls for another few years when I sold half the stuff. I’m a beginner doll collector and amateur doll photographer now. I also have a pretty decent collection of Pokémon cards that’s a few years old. I hope that dad gave back the cards.
Same thing happened to my cousin. He was a big Pokémon collector and he had pretty old vintage cards. One day he realized he was spending too much money on the Pokémon cards and wanted to save up more money, so he stopped buying cards for a few months but for some reason his dad thought he wasn’t using them anymore and sold mostly his whole collection. Felt bad so I gave him like 100$ to start somewhere.
@@Sergeantflipsrong, until you are 18 literally even a paycheck from your job belongs to your parents. This has been legally debated for decades in child actor cases. you do not legally own anything until your an adult even if you bought it. Its fucked up and super disrespectful but unfortunately laws are they way they are because only adults get to make laws.
He still created a core memory for his kid. He's gonna end up in Shady Pines, wondering why his kids and grandkids don't visit, but when he's told exactly why, he'll conveniently "forget" or claim it wasn't so bad.
weirdly makes it worse. if this was a desperate attempt to scrape up some extra money i could maybe sympathize but the fact he wasn’t actually selling them yet put them there just screams cruel and unusual punishment. like he fr brings out a giant tub the moment someone shows interest? nah i don’t trust this man but i’ll watch the full video.
My parents constatly cleaned out my room while i was at school and would have yard sales and i would just come home to a half empty room with my shit missing lmao. My mom always thought the less clutter the better.
While having less clutter can be a good idea and your parents probably had good intentions, unless a kid is very young, the decision should not be made for them! 🤦♀️
@@caitlin_starsorry once you violate someone’s autonomy your intentions are never good. it’s so important to communicate with your kids about things like this. this isn’t teaching them to be smart about what they have and keep, this is intentionally avoiding that conversation and potential tears because it’s easier to trash their valuables for a quick buck.
I doubt he's doing this to purposefully cause arm to his kids. You can call him dumb and ignorant but a piece of shit is too far and straight up wrong.
lol it’s just little pieces cardboard paper… some things that hold value are just ridiculous, let’s be clear about things. You can’t call someone a POS over probably trying to sell something he probably bought. Even if he didn’t, there is always the possibility of informing your dad if you wish about the value of your things, or even showing someone how much something is selling for. That way people are not ignorant about these types of things, but you can’t absolutely assume everyone knows what they are and how high they can reach.
@@PitufoElOriginal I wouldn't go as far as to say he's a pos but it's definitely scummy to sell your kids stuff without asking them no matter if you bought it or not. You bought it and gave it to them, its theirs. And selling any collection stuff without price checking is fucking dumb.
I had several binders full of thousands of pokemon cards in plastic sleeves, tons of card that are collectible now, and my mother sold them for $1 per binder at a garage sale.
My childhood trauma is that my mum binned ALL my pokemon stuff because when she divorced my dad she asked me to help box up stuff with her and I said no. I was 10.
The fasted way to get into a retirement home is throwing away something that ur child cares deeply about. Especially if they’re autistic (like me, people with autism have ungodly attachments to items that probably don’t seem much to you but to them it’s a life or death comfort items or something they deeply enjoy; my bio mom did this to me with my childhood blankets since I liked the fleece texture and it made me comfortable and happy and needed to bring it everywhere with me [mind you I was in my early teens] she threw them out and I had a actual tantrum until I got a EXACT copy of the same sleeping bag and it hasn’t left my side since. I am 21 years old now and i still sleep with it!)
Of course you wouldn’t understand. People who are different from you are “weirdos”. Unfortunately, you are hurting more people than you think when you call people who have autism weirdos. People who have autism can develop them at an early age, there are a plethora of different types and have vastly varying degrees to which it affects a person’s life. And it lasts during their lifetime. Autism can be a source of our bullying even when it’s not our fault that we are born with it. Born with something we cannot control. You may be surprised if you have a friend or peer(s) at school / work who has autism. Most of those who have autism are quirky, eccentric, out of the box thinkers, etc. If you don’t believe me, you can research it on your own time. No need to reply to me either, which is highly appreciated.
My mother did this all the time. I had these beautiful sailor moon dolls. Couldnt get them in the states, my japanese grandma got them for me. I had tons of pokemon cards and other nerdy stuff my mom never liked me having. She always wanted me to be into barbies and unicorns and stuff. But I was a huge tomboy and nerd. Every year my mom would go through my room, take what she though she could sell and then that was that.
@@goffymusiclover whats funny is that it was my moms mom. But my mom and her ALSO didnt have a good relatioship, honestly.

My father did 5his to me as a kid. I didn't have much but I had a good collection of old pokemon and hockey cards. When I went to add to them I found out he sold them without asking me. I remember being absolutely heartbroken and angry with him. I didn't talk to him for weeks.
I remember I had a lot of old cards I took very good care of, my mother found them and threw them all into the fire place. I was like 11-ish, so many good cards and so much potential money all burned into ash
id bet my right that he paid for almost all of it. douche move to try to sell it behind the kids back though. kids actually owning anything is rare, and a foreign concept in many places outside the US.

op didnt offer the dad $350, thats what the dad wanted to sell them for. op stated in the video he didnt know anything about modern pokemon cards and passed
The sheer betrayal that kid must have felt. How do you trust someone who would take away months of your life carefully gathering and protecting your collection.
My wife experienced something super similar as a kid. Her dad had sold off her Entire childhood collection of DS - DSi - and 3dsxl and gameboy micro (along with multiple bins of games) at a garage sale. Needless to say she was heartbroken when he split the cash with her a whopping 30 bucks. Sold the whole lot of literal 1000s$ for 60 bucks. There was plenty more reasons she doesn't, but this was def a contributing factor to why she only stays in touch with her brothers. and not her dad. In her and her mom's eyes this was doubly bad because a solid 80% of everything in her collection was paid via her paychecks when she was in high school. And the remaining was from her mom's pocket - while she was bouncing between home to home during joint custody. so essentially. he just stole and sold all her shit, that he never invested in
That is so sad yet also so wholesome as well, not to make out your family giving away your stuff as good , but kinda nice in the way your mom wanted to help someone .

Classic example of “if I don’t have interest in it, it must have no value” that had to be hundreds worth in value
of thousands if those are the right holo's
350

Well no, don't be like that...
Sounds like someone that has no idea the intrinsic value of collectibles. Let alone the personal and sentimental value of those same collectibles. If someone you cared about came to your house and tried to sell your sentimental valuables for quick cash despite your objections, you're telling me that wouldn't impact your relationship with that person?
@@seandliere4491 of course it would. My mom sold all of my first generation Pokemon cards. I was upset. She is still my mom.
@@mcleodautomation sounds like otherwise she was a great mom, if u dont deserve that mom and she doesnt deserve u and she does that to, then ya goodbye rotten human. my dad wasnt a great dad, i think a parent needs to b 3 roles of at minimum of moderate 4-5 out of 10 rating and a little complex rating when 1 is low or 0. my dad was 4 as a father, 1 as a teacher and 1 as a friend. if we go by yr it varied. while with my sisters he was a 766 and 877. i dont blame them just him.
only in the last yrs of his life did he rly try to force himself to b a friend, but since he was so stuck in being a control freak parent it felt fake and was in his words just trying to make some good memories b4 he passed. since he wasnt shit or rotten and did the bare minimum and a bit more as a parent for me i still love him as my dad but could nvr like him, i like the few good memories we have which made things easier at least.
im glad ur mom sounds like she deserves ur love. my biological mom does too, if i were to rate her on that scale id say shes a 648. :)

or they are financially struggling. Doubt it though.
@kaynkayn9870 no it's still no excuse for trying to sell somebody else's valuables especially without their knowledge
I once had this happen to me. But with a large video game collection, but i was the guy buying it. I saw the kid, he was 16 and crying. I bought the games and consoles and spoke to the kid. I gave him my email address and name and told him to contact me when he moved out. I sat on all the games and consoles, after giving them a clean up and tune up were needed, like new laser for ps2 dvd, replace heatsink paste etc. Left the stickers on them. Kid contacted me when he graduated college and moved out, i told him i still had his games. We met and he brought the money, not what I paid for but about 50% of what it was going for then on auction sites. I laughed and told him these were his, not mine to sell. Loaded his car with them, declined the $, and simply asked him to pay it forward. We are still in contact to this dayz talking about retro games and what mods are interesting/worth it to do. It all worked out.
I simply put myself in his situation and did what id hope someone would do for me.

My dad was a geek I guess you could say, heavy into collecting and selling collectibles.He found me and my friends battling and trading one day, saw my holographic cards and told me he would "put them up somewhere safe for me" so I didn't ruin them because they might be worth something someday. I never saw them again. And now my 6 year old daughter is super into Pokemon cards and we collect them together,I would have loved to pass them down to her and see how excited she would have been to get to enjoy all the cards I collected from when I was her age.

I’m quite sure he already knew before hand.
He still tried to.
He still created a core memory for his kid. He's gonna end up in Shady Pines, wondering why his kids and grandkids don't visit, but when he's told exactly why, he'll conveniently "forget" or claim it wasn't so bad.
weirdly makes it worse. if this was a desperate attempt to scrape up some extra money i could maybe sympathize but the fact he wasn’t actually selling them yet put them there just screams cruel and unusual punishment. like he fr brings out a giant tub the moment someone shows interest? nah i don’t trust this man but i’ll watch the full video.
Dad did a great job doing what you told him to do
If my dad tried selling my collection I’ll just sell his computer
“I wonder why Billy never comes and sees me in this old folks home..”
The kids should set up their own garage sale where they sell his tools and Playboy collection.
Pokemon. I remember when pogs and slammers were the coolest thing to collect 😂
I did the same sh*t with my dads gold clubs because he sold my Yu-Gi-Oh cards and pokemon cards so we were even ever since 😂😅 lmao 🤣
My parents constatly cleaned out my room while i was at school and would have yard sales and i would just come home to a half empty room with my shit missing lmao. My mom always thought the less clutter the better.
zero respect.
retirement home time!
While having less clutter can be a good idea and your parents probably had good intentions, unless a kid is very young, the decision should not be made for them! 🤦♀️
This is why kids go LC with their parents.
@@caitlin_starsorry once you violate someone’s autonomy your intentions are never good. it’s so important to communicate with your kids about things like this. this isn’t teaching them to be smart about what they have and keep, this is intentionally avoiding that conversation and potential tears because it’s easier to trash their valuables for a quick buck.
That's not a father, that's a piece of shi-
Amen brother
I doubt he's doing this to purposefully cause arm to his kids. You can call him dumb and ignorant but a piece of shit is too far and straight up wrong.
@gebi151if your child is passionate about something, why be a piece of shit about it
lol it’s just little pieces cardboard paper… some things that hold value are just ridiculous, let’s be clear about things. You can’t call someone a POS over probably trying to sell something he probably bought. Even if he didn’t, there is always the possibility of informing your dad if you wish about the value of your things, or even showing someone how much something is selling for. That way people are not ignorant about these types of things, but you can’t absolutely assume everyone knows what they are and how high they can reach.
@@PitufoElOriginal I wouldn't go as far as to say he's a pos but it's definitely scummy to sell your kids stuff without asking them no matter if you bought it or not. You bought it and gave it to them, its theirs.
And selling any collection stuff without price checking is fucking dumb.
This is how I lost my first collection of Pokemon cards. Thanks mom
I had several binders full of thousands of pokemon cards in plastic sleeves, tons of card that are collectible now, and my mother sold them for $1 per binder at a garage sale.
Yeah I actually saw a binder full for 1$ I guess I should have purchased it.
it's crazy how much people dont realize what pokemon cards can sell for
"It's not YOURS, I bought them and allow you to keep them, maybe next time you'll get an A!"
Ethnic Dads
projecting lol
He was absolutely out of line. If the kids aren't ready to let it go then leave it alone.
My childhood trauma is that my mum binned ALL my pokemon stuff because when she divorced my dad she asked me to help box up stuff with her and I said no. I was 10.
The fasted way to get into a retirement home is throwing away something that ur child cares deeply about. Especially if they’re autistic (like me, people with autism have ungodly attachments to items that probably don’t seem much to you but to them it’s a life or death comfort items or something they deeply enjoy; my bio mom did this to me with my childhood blankets since I liked the fleece texture and it made me comfortable and happy and needed to bring it everywhere with me [mind you I was in my early teens] she threw them out and I had a actual tantrum until I got a EXACT copy of the same sleeping bag and it hasn’t left my side since. I am 21 years old now and i still sleep with it!)
Weirdo
Of course you wouldn’t understand. People who are different from you are “weirdos”. Unfortunately, you are hurting more people than you think when you call people who have autism weirdos.
People who have autism can develop them at an early age, there are a plethora of different types and have vastly varying degrees to which it affects a person’s life. And it lasts during their lifetime. Autism can be a source of our bullying even when it’s not our fault that we are born with it. Born with something we cannot control. You may be surprised if you have a friend or peer(s) at school / work who has autism. Most of those who have autism are quirky, eccentric, out of the box thinkers, etc.
If you don’t believe me, you can research it on your own time. No need to reply to me either, which is highly appreciated.
My dad sold my whole binder for $20. Still hurts
My mother did this all the time. I had these beautiful sailor moon dolls. Couldnt get them in the states, my japanese grandma got them for me. I had tons of pokemon cards and other nerdy stuff my mom never liked me having. She always wanted me to be into barbies and unicorns and stuff. But I was a huge tomboy and nerd. Every year my mom would go through my room, take what she though she could sell and then that was that.
Should never talk to her again probs
@@nickjennings8233well I ended up going no contact until she passed away so... :/
Throwing away stuff your grandma bought you I just wrong I’m sorry that happened.
@@goffymusiclover whats funny is that it was my moms mom. But my mom and her ALSO didnt have a good relatioship, honestly. But my mom didnt care about Japan or anything with our background so my mom dodnt think twice about it. She was obsessed with garaged sales every year and just wanted stuff to sell.
@@thebigmystery7841Damn, I’m sorry you had to go through that.
Dads need to learn to live in their son’s world in his times. Your world and your times are growing old with you and will die with you. Let them enjoy their time in their world while they still can.
“Why dont my kids talk to me anymore?”
My father did 5his to me as a kid. I didn't have much but I had a good collection of old pokemon and hockey cards. When I went to add to them I found out he sold them without asking me. I remember being absolutely heartbroken and angry with him. I didn't talk to him for weeks.
I don't think I'd ever speak to him again.
Out of the line is a understatement. This almost seems criminal
It literally is. That's called stealing. He stole his kid's collection for money.
Bro just hit the biggest jackpot of all Pokémon’s 🔥
Absolutely the father was out of line. My dad did this to me and it created a villain arc in my soul.
I remember I had a lot of old cards I took very good care of, my mother found them and threw them all into the fire place. I was like 11-ish, so many good cards and so much potential money all burned into ash
Are you still in contact with her?
She probably saw them as blocking your development in area's that she wished you would develope. Unless she was just a B.
Gonna bet my left nut that if that father managed to sell it for 350, he’d just give like 50 dollars to his child
ill bet both my nuts he wouldnt give them any
Eh I'm thinking maybe 10
If ot was my parents it was nothing 😅
id bet my right that he paid for almost all of it. douche move to try to sell it behind the kids back though. kids actually owning anything is rare, and a foreign concept in many places outside the US.
More like fifty cents.
this is just one example of this dad. i bet he's a real joy with his kids
I collect pokemon cards, lots of them. That dad was nuts by selling the cards. What the heck?! Sabrina Griffin 🤩
My dad has been getting rid of my shit my whole life. And because of this, it's turned me into a slight hoarder. Parents don't realize the effects their actions will have on their kids one day.
So you effectively displayed your and the dad's lack of integrity in
He didn't know its was the dudes kids
@@motionmoon3239he tried to lowball the dad knowing there was a binder full of valuable cards, most likely so he could flip them for massive profit himself. Real class act
@@Deffected bro it’s a garage sale. You expect him to ask for EBay prices?
@@cosmic3829 Take 1 of the 3 Charizards, that one holo Gengar and you've already exceeded the offer of $350 in 2 cards. There would be at minimum 30 cards in the binder, hundreds in the tub.
You trying to defend his actions tells me you're just as classy ✌️
@@Deffected Once again. It’s a garage sale. Clearly the guy isn’t trying to get the full value of these cards. He’s trying to clear stuff out of the house. I’ve sold stuff way under what it’s worth at garage sales, because it isn’t worth the headache of holding onto it to try and sell it at a higher price down the road. I just wanted shit out of my house. The fact that you expect full market prices here is ridiculous.
Bro if you sold them without your child’s permission you are a menace to pokemon society
This is what happened to my pokemon cards as a kid, respect for keeping those kids dreams alive.
The fact you said 350 when he had 4 cards alone worth more that that is a joke lmao
Absolutely, that's how these flippers sell for insane prices online, thinkin they can get top dollar for cards. It's wild
@@elipsorangeits always funny seeing clueless people cry about stuff they dont know
Kids cards man.. probably have scratches and bends... not worth more than 350.. the whole batch was though
op didnt offer the dad $350, thats what the dad wanted to sell them for. op stated in the video he didnt know anything about modern pokemon cards and passed
@@TheRavaszEmberHe did. Listen again. He says what price on everything? Like 350 Bucks? And the dad say Naha
The sheer betrayal that kid must have felt. How do you trust someone who would take away months of your life carefully gathering and protecting your collection.
My wife experienced something super similar as a kid. Her dad had sold off her Entire childhood collection of DS - DSi - and 3dsxl and gameboy micro (along with multiple bins of games) at a garage sale. Needless to say she was heartbroken when he split the cash with her a whopping 30 bucks. Sold the whole lot of literal 1000s$ for 60 bucks. There was plenty more reasons she doesn't, but this was def a contributing factor to why she only stays in touch with her brothers. and not her dad. In her and her mom's eyes this was doubly bad because a solid 80% of everything in her collection was paid via her paychecks when she was in high school. And the remaining was from her mom's pocket - while she was bouncing between home to home during joint custody. so essentially. he just stole and sold all her shit, that he never invested in
My pokemon cards "got lost" during a move. Turns out my mom gave them away to a grandma looking for a bday gift for her grandson. Very sad time.
That is so sad yet also so wholesome as well, not to make out your family giving away your stuff as good , but kinda nice in the way your mom wanted to help someone .
@@7_bitjudah384 That's extremely messed up. What kind of mother steals from her child ... to give their stuff to a stranger's child ? That's just dumb and cruel. I bet the grandson wouldn't have been as happy if they knew where the cards came from.
@@slavishentity6705 Yeah, not disagreeing with you, i made this reply like at 3am, so i wasnt really thinking of all the facts lol. Thats on me
Had a dad like this. Haven't spoken to him in nearly 15 years. Laughed at him trying to get in touch when he was near death from illness. Unfortunately I heard from someone that he recovered.
Damn bro you're cold hearted
@@cencil6497 this was light stuff but he wouldn't second guess himself like this i suppose. Would never apologise for going too far either.
In all fairness it made me a stronger person. Makes his last years fucken lonelier too, Ayyyyy
@@cencil6497 Until you've been there, don't judge.
My mom's ex-husband did this exact same kind of thing, on top of spending most of his time screaming at me or just smacking me around because he was unhappy with where his life had ended up. The last time I saw his worthless ass I finally put him in his place and he's not spoken to me since, but he does spend most of his time blaming everyone else for his problems. He is the exact definition of worthless and we will lose nothing of great value as a species when he does finally die.
@@vevaren8155yall idiots there at US have so fkked up relationships its actually unimaginable...i'll sell my soul to the devil a 100 times over for my dad to be happy
@@cencil6497Nah, that's my level of petty right there! 😂
As a kid who was OBSESSED with Pokémon cards, I never would have forgiven my dad if he tried to sell my collection. Thank god my dad wasn’t (and never will be) like that and try to sell things that were sentimental to me. I still have all of my old binders and cards to this day.
