[@waxrelic7052]

@pokene_pokemon it's been a pleasure getting this info straight from the horses mouth. I saw your VICE piece when it premiered, but was already owning and operating a record store. Now I'm selling half of my collection and trying to pivot into a business model similar to yours. I can tell you're doing something that fulfills you but also provides for your family. By my estimation, you don't even have to make these videos - so I'm trying to appreciate that by being a sponge. Keep fighting the good fight!

[@JasonClements]

Fantastic ❤ I am helping my 2 sons build their pokemon channel - your info is 100% Super Helpful. THANK YOU!!! The Rabid Pikachus

[@jorymunger2583]

You inspired on vice a year ago in October I started my Japanese pokemon card business for that exact reason it's a even playing field if I'm willing to put in the work and take the risk. I can get the prices low enough to distribute to collectors here. Every month my sales is higher. Thanks pokeNe

This man is dropping gold nuggets and reality checks! Excellent info here! Retail arbitrage was great when I was in college but that model wasn’t sustainable. Always hunting and researching new products that ultimately wasn’t repeatable. People under estimate the power of FB marketplace and the reach of eBay. I appreciate all the content you put into this video

[@pokene_pokemon]

Speaking facts right here

[@jacobwhitaker1562]

This is an awesome video for starting any business, not just Pokemon! Was about to order a 151 UPC from someone else, but got it from you honestly just cause I was impressed by the content. Keep up the good work!

So many good ideas man! My local poke-shop is awesome, but he doesn't have a place to sit to rip packs! Thank goodness because I would have opened more. Hate to say it, but it's kind of like a casino. You want people to stay. If slot machines didn't have chairs, people would be less likely to use them. Kudos.

[@DarkPokeScar]

Super helpful brotha, thanks again ❤ you’ve convinced me to sell foreign cards.

Really appreciate the video you have made. Are you able to drop a few supplier from japan which is reliable? Im from singapore and have plans to follow your footsteps to setup my own TCG business

[@shikakabr]

seeing a TCG like Lorcana getting a lot of hype makes me wonder if you intend on expanding out of pokemon in the future. I would love to see an online store with Lorcana products at a nice price! Love the videos, congratz on living the dream of owning a card store :)

[@pokene_pokemon]

We do Weiss Schwarz and one piece too 🔥

love this but watching you bang cards into those top loaders is making my heart race lol

[@GreyGapCollection]

Amazing video thank you!

[@pokene_pokemon]

Glad you liked it! 🙏🏻

[@PokeDollarsYT]

When working with your Japanease suppliers, do you ever consider buying boxes without the shrink wrap? This is probably not the case for you anymore since you are working at such a big scale but I have seen at working at a smaller scale this comes up quite a bit.

[@pokene_pokemon]

I’m up all night too lol- best time to get things done

Yup, online only video would be awesome! I love every single idea you presented here, but I dont think it would work at all where I live. Which is why I am slowly starting online.

Great Vid!…

Thanks!

[@mypekicks]

Do you buy the cards for retail or do you get wholesale prices

[@stergioskriaras2306]

Excellent content and advice, all your videos are exceptionally helpful but this one is one of the best. Some questions: some of your info don't apply to the European market I'm based in, especially when prices are like 20% up from the US prices and customs are making ordering inventory items from outside the EU non-profitable in most cases. Are there any distributors in EU that you know can get us products in reasonable prices? Or, is there a way to bypass customs and order directly from the US? Sorry for the long message, keep up the great work!

[@pokene_pokemon]

Really appreciate it . If you google “Pokémon center official distributors” and scroll a bit you’ll actually see an entire list on the official Pokémon center website itself 😂

[@stergioskriaras2306]

True, I have done that, but the one and only in my country may be the most expensive in all EU 😂 Maybe I need to get in touch with distributors from neighboring countries, haven't done that yet. Thank you for your time!

[@adamchristensen6270]

Great video. There’s a ton of useful information here. And it’s presented so clearly and approachable for anyone to get inspired to start their own business, Pokémon related or not. I really appreciate this video. Big thanks from New England.

[@g0ogl3y]

Hey Brian! Thanks for all the secrets. Now I’m wondering how do you show that you at purchasing cards for inventory when you send money through wire transfer?

[@pokene_pokemon]

Just use excel and IG DMs lol- very unofficial 😂

If I have one of those 9-5 jobs you describe would I have enough time to start an endeavor such as this? Love the video and congrats on the success! That's the dream

[@chancemcmahan8621]

Every shop in my area hosts kids & adults trade night events where they play music & have food/drink for free. So making people pay for food & stuff is not always an option if your area has shops that do it all for free.

[@PokefamLLC]

Great video.. How do you find trusted distributors overseas?

[@brianhob8128]

Step one. Buy every Korean booster box. Step two hold onto it for 5 years. Step 3 . Profit. I simplified that up quite a bit

[@pokene_pokemon]

😂 DIAMON HANDS BABY

[@NerdyAthlete]

May need to watch this a few times to catch everything

[@pokene_pokemon]

The algorithm will appreciate that 🫡

[@iBeKev]

How do you save money for shipping individual boosters? Wouldn't the box and stamps eat into all the profit

[@codylohmann5651]

How do you pay the Japanese suppliers once you find them for the first time? PayPal? Does it automatically convert to their currency for them or what?

I have sold hundreds of pokemon cards on ebay and tcgplayer (most were over one dollar ultra rares)... i want to sell reverse holographic pokemon cards and saw on ebay there were stores making sales with each of those cheaper cards going for over a dollar... is it worth selling reverse holos on ebay (what type of inventory input would you need to make lets say 10 sales a day-is that even possible?)

Good video, but the whole “work at Culver’s 9-5 for a good profit” is absolutely ridiculous.
