>>56407660Hey fellow flipbro. PH pokemon markets are bad since our country only has one direct supplier of the cards and they are the ones who set minimum prices (which are usually above 100USD) that's why you can see stuff like the 151 UPC selling for far cheaper in places like the US while it just keeps going up in price for us here.
You can try to import but we have a customs limit of around 185usd before we are hit with big customs taxes and it is calculated by the cost of the item plus shipping. There are many middleman ways to go about it which I can talk to you more if you want. Let me know how to best reach out to you if ever.
