1st Edition Collectibles — Local services in New Bedford

Have worked with 3 owners Phil, Shawn, and Will and I am a big fan of all 3 of them. I have been coming in every Tuesday for the last 2 months and not once did they not work with me on price to work out a sale, very rarely have I paid sticker in their shop. As far as selection goes, they have the best anywhere near me by far so much variety of vintage and semi-modern product. as far as these negative reviews go, last Tuesday I bought a raw pokemon center Charmander from the Obsidian Flames ETB for 110 dollars (Their Sticker Price) the card on the day had rapidly jumped to 150 raw, do you think they asked me to pay 150 NO! they honored their sticker price and adjusted the remainder of their raw Charmander's accordingly on their next business day. I make deals on FB marketplace, and I buy from 1st Edition Collectibles that's it. What Guarantees my continued business, on my last visit to the store I asked Will if he had any 151 poster collections, they did not, and I said "dang my GF really wants that poster lol" he handed me an extra one they had in back and said have a nice day. Kindness goes a long way in this Industry and its a two-way street; the fact they are willing to even Barder is a privilege almost no LCG would ever provide. Thanks For being kind I got you guys on the...

Walked in saw a card I wanted it was priced at 175$ I had to tell them it was only going 70 to 90 dollars , they then lowered the price to 120 , the card has been sitting in the case for 6 months, he went on his computer and told me it’s only going for 70 to 90$ , I then asked how much he would want for it , he said 120 and said that he doesn’t need to move the card😭 , “I’m not in a rush to sell this” I was told , been a customer for 8 months bought multiple cards here, i don’t understand why would they ask so much for something while telling me to my face it doesn’t go for 120 🤣, I even offered 100$ and he wouldn’t take that lol, you guys have lost my business forever , just found a graded 9 for 120, and y’all want 120 for a raw card , and you told me to my face it’s worth 70 to 90 bucks, so why would anyone pay an extra...

Good variety of sealed product, raw and graded cards. Unfortunately their pricing is high compared to market value. For an example, I inquired about a mythical collection box with no price on it. I found the exact box on eBay for buy it now at $125. I offered $110 expecting to just pay the $125 in cash. The gentleman was annoyed and told me the price is $185…30-35% mark up. Expect to haggle and check comps! This has happened a few times on different occasions and I have now removed them from shops to visit.

Again they do have excellent selection ranging from sealed product to cards. Kudos to them in that regard!

Edit: the response is telling. Rude and unprofessional. Not sure why anyone...
