Lpstrippei buying LPS 909 to immediately resell it
This community is beyond exhausting. We all want affordable pets, but what’s the point of buying one mildly below its market price to immediately resell it and gauge for higher offers?
Well that’s exactly what lpstrippei/Mallory B. did. A 909 sold on 4/23/26 for $315 and lpstrippei listed hers on 5/1/2026. To my dismay, I realized it was the same 909 my friends and I had missed out on a few days prior. Even though this is a collector can we please stop supporting these business practices? For how many peoples that have 909 as a dream pet, this just isn’t right. The timeline indicates she listed it for sale almost immediately after she got it
Please review the photos that show that the one lpstrippei is trying to sell and accept offers of $600 for is the exact same 909 that sold for $314 just last month. In slide 4, you see that her 909 for sale has the exact same lifted foot defect as the ebay one. The paint defects all align exactly— too similar to be a coincidence. The last two photos show that a post she made on April 30 indicates she already owned a different 909, so the one she’s selling isn’t from a personal collection.
We already have to compete with each other for good deals, why contribute to lps inflation. We need to start calling it out this behavior as we see it, even though this person isn’t a big reseller, or we will never have any hope of going back to reasonable pricing. By the way, this isn’t a personal attack on this individual.
