Festive seasons seem to have begun.

Just yesterday itself a whole road in Pimpri Market(which is already crowded all the time) was blocked with a stage and speakers set up.

A festival is there? Great. Let's celebrate it in some open ground, some designated spot.

Why create inconvenience like this?

Today it's 4PM right now, and some morons are pounding drums at least a few kilometers away from my place but it's audibly loud here.

How difficult is it to be a bit mindful of your surroundings. A bit peaceful.

What is it if, not blatant dick measuring of who can be the most insufferable?

It's ego, insecurity and having lack of general hobbies.

TL;DR: Fuck any seller who tries to turn this hobby into a profit machine.

To any new buyer or collector: there are a lot of people in genuine beyblade communities who import beyblades from Japan and then sell them at a very reasonable price with 0 or little profit.

Do reach out to the right people.

Please discourage these scummy "Businessmen".

Ranting after the recent "Auction is cancelled because xyz seller got called out at their malpractices and cowardice to face auction results resorting to hiding behind the mask of bad faith auction rules". Screenshots added.

Every seller can set any price for their items but shamelessness needs to be called out.

I'm amazed how 1000+ people are still part of this communi... woops sorry.... Cartel of dukaan-daars adamant at exploiting unaware beyblade enthusiasts.

Beyblades are already expensive as fk due to the import duties(let's ignore the ongoing scalping situation for a moment).

On top of that, we have these "hobbyists" aka "sellers" who have formed a closed group and just cannot resist unfairly pricing their stuff and auction malpractices.

Their listings on the BeyyUniverse Beyblade Hub 1.0 whatsapp channel is mostly 30-40% costlier than any reasonable prices on other seller groups (those other groups have open chat channels and are open to new sellers who can price competitively).

The open chat channel provides a platform to the buyers so that they can call out ridiculous pricing whenever needed.

And BeyyUniverse conveniently avoids creating an open discussion channel.

The complaints from buyers about delayed shipping, missing parts and at times unresponsiveness is widespread.

I don't really want to single out any of the admins because it's a systematic issue created by these admins mutually.

Trust me on this, as a person who's been obsessed with Beyblades since the MFB era and now X, there are numerous groups with ridiculously good prices.

I'd mention The Beyblade Corner here. I get surprised and sometimes wonder if they are making losses😆. (They are doing fine tho)

Their pricing is too good consistently. And I regularly get stuff from them.

I am in no way affiliated with any group.

Then we have IBU and Let It Rip! Community. I'm sure sellers there are also making profits and they totally should. As at the end of the day they are putting in efforts to manage the operation.

Still their prices are reasonable.

Then we have this parasitic BeyyUniverse. Milking off of our nostalgia rich hobby to make an extra ₹500 rupees.

Today's auction incident:

"A seller started an auction for an NIB Orange Samurai Saber with manga. Starting price 1900 (fair). Closing time 1:30 PM.

Earlier auction for the same item got them a price of 4000+. But during this one at 1:28 PM, the latest bid was 2800 or something.

So yes the seller was going to make a much smaller profit and maybe a loss. But that's what an Auction is supposed to be, right?

A fair seller would accept this turn of events and continue the auction as it is.

What this guy did is extend the time to 2:00 PM hoping to get to a higher price and claiming that the rules allow that. (Greed).

Still by 2:00 PM max bid was 2900. Now this bitch of a seller decides to cancel the auction because a few people called him out"

Picture#1: Fake Valkyrie lock chip. I'm totally impressed by its closeness to the real one

Picture #2: All OG JP parts except the lock chip.

I had bought the OG Volt S4-70V without the lock chip for cheap(less than $50)

Then I got this fake Valkyrie lock chip to complete the Bey. I don't mind having the fake lock chip.
