I personally shop in exactly this way already. Love this style of video. Please make more

[@TORTANK_8]

On a related note, a video showing your (re)sell process would be super cool!

[@KykyJyky]

Very cool. Love these. I think you did pretty good on that Umbreon

[@devoted2thaentertainment207]

I enjoyed this 😎 a nice, different direction. This kind of content is what got me back in the hobby, way before all of the "investment" channels were born.

[@kennymorelandiii9406]

This is a really helpful and awesome video Rattle! I just found my wife's old pokemon binder and it has a good amount of Japanese base, Rocket Gang, Fossil and gym heroes. Ive never owned any Japanese or vintage but looking through that binder i fell in love and would like to add some Japanese to the collection especially EReader series and other vintage sets. So this video was extremely helpful as i didn't know where to begin with looking for some Japanese cards. You got some great deals and some great condition cards. More videos like this would be great!

[@ladsndadsgaming4605]

Unfortunately you can't do the lotteries from a tenso address. Have mine cancelled everytime. Still keep trying when there is something I want 😂

[@RattlePokemon]

Good to know.

[@sirrios02]

Awesome! I'm currently buying the singles... and knocking them out by trainers currently on whitney

[@GyaradosFreak]

Hey Mike I have an Espeon from the vs series still. I sold all the rest of the vs collection I had suicune Umbreon steelix and the three energy holographics as well as 50 other cards including a bunch of TM's!! Only held on to the Espeon and graded one of my gyarados..cgc 9. Lmk if you need Espie!😃

[@Exodianotforbidden]

I used to enjoy buyee alot, but the yen conversion lately is ass and a 10% charge on my total purchase is crazy

[@PokeMage87]

Purchasing Rattle is my spirit animal

[@crw2795]

This video is just what I was needing. I’ve been wanting to buy singles from Japan

[@DeLaTCG]

Great idea Rattle! 🎉

[@bendycheese]

Do you search for specific cards or just search by time?

[@RattlePokemon]

Mercari isn't auctions so searching what you want is basically the only way. Even with Yahoo Auctions, I'm typically searching for what I want rather than ending soonest. I have a video on search terms here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZeVlJyOl91mars

[@PokeKid96]

You should have purchased more booster packs for another cool stream

[@williardwonken9040]

have you tried using microfiber cloth instead of a finger rub?

[@nevercold808]

Can't 69× your Pokémon cards?!?! Pffft... hold my beer. Get 1 cent energy card, have Rattle sign it. BOOM!!! 69 cents, baby!!! Hahaha! Seriously, tho. That was a dope haul! Condition-wise, a good majority of the cards definitely passed. Right on, man! I admire your focus when it comes to your collection progress.

[@CatBack94]

Hows the postage via buyee, still decent if i buy a single card in say the 200 usd range?

[@RattlePokemon]

They charge actual postage and it depends how fast you want to receive it. Depending on your location, you can choose from different shipping providers and options. I've never ordered anything that wasn't a fairly large parcel so not 100% sure on the single card. Air is usually crazy fast and typically DHL.

[@darkapples8108]

Postage all depends on size and weight, if you're buying a single card it's usually around $15-20 if I remember correctly

[@WesUnite]

Sick nasty cards 🎴

[@rogerupgames]

Always gotta look out for those corner dongs

[@blastty]

Urine it?

[@Berriesncream1]

The only tcg atm you can 2x your money is if you find english one piece.😂 amazing game too to play. But those cards are amazing condition even with the dig. And some surface on the others.
