To think the 12 dollar one was more valuable than the 99 dollar one.

[@theomillstorm7367]

“My boss is about to raise the price” is code for, “I need to create a sense of urgency so you’ll hurry up and buy before you realize how bad of a deal this is.”

[@mr_talls]

They saw a bunch of shiny stuff and thought it was valuable.

That’s what happens when something gets popular and secondhand stores get a hold of that product. They don’t know anything and just assume holographic means valuable

[@marymess454]

Dude, I have been checking thrift stores for years for Pokémon cards. One time I found a box of fakes. But never again have I seen any more cards. $99 dollars for cards at a thrift store? That’s nuts!

[@biggiebogan6110]

It's not a thrift shop it's a hock shop

[@Sheepy_TV]

@@biggiebogan6110 Which is almost a pawn shop

[@YQMaoski]

I think you got totally scammed... These were clearly made to draw in people hoping for their biggest random find, but I am pretty sure they were combed through ahead of time. If someone's boss is going to be doubling the price of a pack, that means they have some idea of the value of the cards. So there's no way they didn't already remove any valuable cards and leave behind just a bunch of garbage for unsuspecting onlookers.

[@RocSandy]

For sure

Actually one of the biggest scams was charging $50 dollars for three Celebrations Packs.

[@FatalPhenom]

Ouch

[@mikeb.1300]

It's karma LOL

[@danh3279]

Think this crook charged even more than that iirc

[@darkfirezgaming]

Not sure if someone else said this below but what you went to we call, here in the United States, a pawn shop. A thrift store is usually a store where people drop off donations and the store staff sort it for quality and then price it based on their store guidelines. A pawn shop is where people sell their items and the shop then turns around and sells it for an increased price. Pawn shops tend to do due diligence on pricing or, as you found out, price them way higher for tradeable goods. You can get good prices from pawn shops, but rarely do you get good savings. I would never buy cards from a pawn shop for these reasons.

[@deanosovitch]

spot on

[@theomillstorm7367]

This wasn’t someone trading in their collection, this was someone trading in their BULK. Sorry to see you get ripped off. Thanks for building the awareness, though!

[@nevercold808]

Ando, anything in a showcase at a "thrift store" is gonna be marked up and sometimes ridiculously. You gotta look at the rest of the store when it comes to these big box resell shops. Look for the stuff on random shelves and in the baggies hanging off the pegs. Another great option is smaller stores like church thrift shops and such. I know you probably don't need the advice as this is something you probably don't have the time for or need to do but maybe someone reading this can find this useful.

[@aaronvirtucio517]

What a lesson learned! Just don't go easily believe what you saw on TikTok coz it's not always true what videos you'll find there!

[@scottcarper4456]

Came back to watching this channel for the past few weeks. I’m 13 and it’s crazy because I watched him so much a few years ago. He’s still the same enthusiastic person.

[@DaveDude57]

Went through all that effort to seal those cards up, people are taking advantage of others through Pokémon!

[@suikody]

Hi UnlistedLeaf, your videos are so good to watch, I am starting to be interested in collecting Pokemon Cards so now I will watch your videos a lot more!

[@lanaroads69]

ngl he's so loud in all his videos and I could never stand to watch more than a few minutes because of his obvious fake overly-enthusiastic attitude.

[@joeribuntinx1329]

I also think you will get scammed, definitely with that "double" the price thing xD

[@d1fferen7]

"Let's pretend we're not filming" 2 seconds later: "So guys, look at these cards" XDDDD

[@smithyengs]

Definitely got scammed on that 99dollars one! Should never of brought tgst from cash converter at that price

[@karter1221]

That last pack was so bad unfortunately. Not even close to being valued at $99… fun to watch though!

[@christinetran4114]

Hey Ando! Love the video/channel like always! Keep it up stay safe hope you reach 2.5M subscribers and have an amazing night! 😁👍

[@meanmugging]

Whoever packed that is the same guy who hit your car in the parking lot and left without saying anything, and invented the oval shaped carnival basketball hoops

[@hahathatsawesome123]

Whoever sold those thought reverse holos were the most rare things on earth … such bad luck

Why aren’t they valuable?

[@wicxfn262]

Have any of you seen the Shaymin VStar Alt art? I think it might be the greatest artwork ever on a Pokémon card. I’m not even over exaggerating.

[@benjdal]

Ouch saw you coming mate that’s horrible 99 bucks for what 😂 keep up the awesome vids

[@UldisCrystal]

Ouch, that $99 brick should be priced around $10 tops.

[@TheLegoCollector-hq1rv]

I bet the guy that wrapped these he is probably laughing 🤣

[@Stephen033]

I highly doubt they are random. You will get all common and some uncommon and of course the pikachu cards from celebrations, everyone pulls those cards lol. there ain't gonna be no zard or blastoise or anything. Those guys at the thrift store seen you comin and they took full advantage. No way for 99 bucks

[@dustinorndorff6764]

Dankpods has ruined me😂 i saw cash converters and instantly yelled "CASHIESSSS!!"

[@thethronester772]

I can’t believe ando is calling cash converters a thrift store, it’s a pawn shop so everything is overpriced

[@FatalPhenom]

They definitely thought reverses were more rare.

[@hayleyathena1312]

Cash converters isn't exactly a second hand shop. Its a large company that rips people off for pre used items. A thrift store or charity shop would be independently run where things are cheap. It's a shame this all you have over there is cash converters.

[@RocSandy]

I've saw that tiktok and I was like THIS HAS TO BE FAKE

[@AndeeJames]

Why wasn't Mr. Stanley deployed to open that shrink wrap?! 😮

[@ooscoby]

Hey man , I got a arceus V but it’s in Japanese and different from the typical US cards , is it real and could I sell it?

[@rebeccascott1365]

HEYYY, Cash Converters is the same shop my family owns a branch of in England :3

[@DisYT56]

Cool

[@Ayekay403]

They use to have a bunch of them in Canada. But they slowly started to close down.

[@Voidpanda154]

Fellow English guy I also live really near one

[@bkhunter8438]

Cash converters are dodgy though. Suss out Opshots as they wouldn’t price everything at a couple bucks

[@deanosovitch]

100% cashies are the worst

[@jakesquid0887]

The thing is that i’ve saw videos claiming that evolutions are $2000 a pack and that some cards (reverses) are worth $100’s each maybe they saw one of those videos.

[@sky-sx5gt]

I really wish those people did more research on Pokemon Cards before selling them for that much

[@deanosovitch]

they knew exactly what they did

[@rocketrambo20]

I will play a little devils advocate. if he thought the evolutions were og cards and priced it based on that its possible. or like you said he over valued reverse and rares and scammed you or was clueless

[@jscottgp2011]

Red flag for me would’ve been him asking what you planned to do with them lol they’re playing cards, what does it matter? That’s saying to me “hopefully nothing too revealing so my shop doesn’t get called out in anyway”

[@aaronbrazell9879]

Noooooooooo I need all those regular rare legendarys for my binder and I love your videos so much Keep it up

[@MarsNotPlanet]

Holy West Virginia what a crazy find

[@werdone2664]

[@Immie_rose]

Cash converters use eBay solds to price items & most the time they are way more expensive 😅

Hey Ando. Over my birthday im going to he’d to my mall they have this store with a huge display with cards shown in front.

Worked at good will found a binder of Yu-Gi-Oh cards had some nice old school pulls told the the boss, hey these are probably worth $400 . He said 400 not for cardboard . The next day the we up on the counter for $39. Gone in 60 seconds.

[@wam-pm7ml]

The guys at the shop may be basing their idea of valuable cards off of when they were young, I remember me and everyone I knew thought holos were insanely rare

[@Roymundo69]

When u don't go to a thrift shop, a thrift shop is a charity shore like vinnies, cash Converters is a pawn store

They probably thought evolutions was actually vintage base set because they aren't collectors
