TCC Issue 5: Best Places to Find LPS for Cheap

Hi hi!
I've been collecting LPS for about 5 years now, and I've had my fair share of good finds and bad finds. Today, I thought I'd give my insite on where would be the best places to find LPS.
1. Ebay
Ebay typically has a lot of real LPS. Since it isn't usually buisnesses selling stuff on there, you can usually find facebook moms selling their kids old LPS for really cheap! If you're unsure who to buy from and how to tell if an LPS is fake from the thumbnail of the product, I gotcha!
A seller I recommend and that I've bought from before and has really good prices is fastmatrix1. I recently found out when I bought from them that this is actually LPSQueen's Ebay page. All of their LPS are authentic and have good prices.
Now onto how to tell if an LPS is fake. Usually the thumbnail will be very good quality and have perfect lighting and be dressed up and have accesories OR they'll have a completely white backround. I don't recommend buying from Amazon because I did for about 3 years and I regret it.
2. Goodwill Auction
Personally I don't like auction because it stresses me out, but if you like auction this would be good for you. There are lots of LPS auctions for low prices on there and is a good place to check out if you want to buy lps for a low price.
3. Facebook Marketplace
I love Facebook Marketplace. I've found AMAZING deals on there such as 32 LPS for only 25$! There were 4 shorthairs in there as well.
The reason I love Facebook Marketplace is because there are usually soccer moms who get on there and sell their kids old toys and sell them for low and cheap prices. One good way to find the best deals is by looking up "My pet shop". Usually these moms dont know what LPS are called, and will call them "My pet shop" or "My little pet shop" or "Little pet shop".
Usually you can get these LPS in the same day too. You can drive to somebodys house and pick up the LPS from their doorstep!
4. Mercari
Mercari has a lot of good LPS sellers but the only thing I dont like is sometimes it gets kinda pricy. Usually people might overestimate and overcharge people for simple LPS. Other than that though, Mercari is a great site for LPS.
5. Walmart
I know this is kinda crazy, but Walmart.com sells LPS still in package! The only problem with walmart is that they often overcharge like Mercari. BUT you do always know your getting an authentic LPS so I guess if you've got the money, I recommend it.
6. Flea markets
Flea markets are my favorite place to find LPS. For all the people who live in Georgia, La Vaquita is a great place to go for LPS. I hit jackpots really often and find LPS for so cheap. I one time got a shorthair that I later found out was worth 30$ for only 5$! Plus, you don't have to wait on shipping and people are usually super kind and sweet. I love Flea markets over all.
This is all I have for now my friends, the article has come to a stop. I hope my tips and tricks have helped you guys out. 
Cya!
