Great meeting you yesterday, dude. I came to check if we made it to your channel, saw the title and my first thought was "Oh no, I hope I gave a five star experience" LOL. Cool series!!!

The $50 for 151 was crazy expensive, not a single hit in any of the packs, and if you watch at 1:40 there wasn't a code card in the pack?? OKay.. and the last shop..You bought the heavy pack for $400. Went next door, they offered you $200 cash, then said they couldn't do it because a manager wasn't there or whatever, which was the guy who left the 1 star review exact complaint, that he had to come back 3 times. THEN they gave you the same amount of trade value as they would have in cash and you still left a 5 star review?? Makes no sense.

Just shhh... the code card was first, 50 is fine for the booster bundle. Not every pack is guarenteed a hit..

As a New Yorker $50 for that 151 is highway robbery. I woulda took his shoes too for that price

[@TheOmegaRiddler]

I'm guessing it will have to do with the location of their store. I've heard rent in New York City for retail spaces suck to the point that during the pandemic, people were leaving for cheaper cities. I don't know the city but judging by the building, it could be a high end part of the city.

Q 96 is a Radio station in New York so to my understanding they stopped by Bleeker Street when the guy wanted to go there and Q 96 went to bleeker street to do a meet n greet thats why they weren't picking up the phone.

[@Kcii-99]

hes braindead is whats going on lol, he basically traded 400 bucks for 100 cash value, cos if he tried selling those cards he would get less than half value

[@tomasflatharta]

The shop takes the risk and they need to make profit.

[@ItzAkela]

I mean he said the light pack price is around 200 bucks or something if I heard correctly so I’m guessing the shop is taking it and considering it a non weighed pack or light pack instead of a heavy pack for insurance

[@bettrthnur1039]

I feel bad for businesses getting 1 star reviews just because people think they're supposed to get pulls out of every pack and can't admit that they're unlucky. Like if it was a small card shop sure it's possible that they could have been resealed, but if it's a entire business and a large shop there's no way they would take the time to reseal the packs and sell them with knowledge that they're resealed. They didn't even take pictures of the pack and it can be obvious when they're resealed sometimes.

[@piergiorgiosperandeo]

As an avid TCG videos consumer, I really like how you edit the videos, especially without the annoying prices of each pull that nowadays it's a must for every YT video

I got 20 resealed cardboard packs from DoorDash not too long ago. I’ve only ever ordered from big stores like Best Buy, but the places I usually ordered from were out… so I bought 20 packs from popshelf, which is like a dollar tree type store. They opened one side of the cardboard and sealed most back with glue, but I guess ran out of glue or something? So they literally started using rolled up Balls of tape to stick the cardboard back down. I was so shocked. 18 out of 20 I got were opened. I called the store to let them know and she immediately knew what happened. While on the phone with me she told the clerk next to her “you remember that guy with all the pokemon cards from DoorDash last week? He returned them all opened!” Got my money back through DoorDash but I’ll definitely be careful of who I order from in the future. Also, I don’t usually order cards, but I had a ton of credits to burn up lol.

[@fawkzy]

I won't lie, I love visiting da shop every time I am in New York. It's super fun looking through all their binders of singles whenever I am there

[@Z_threetimes]

It's honestly sad that there are actual scam artists in the community but I'd easily say 90% of shops if not higher are legit and treat all customers with care. These people spend $25 dollars expecting to get a $50 hit everytime and when they don't they trash the shops. It honestly bothers me

[@raytherocket2386]

After that 151 I would’ve left that review also lol

[@wickedcrypto6004]

What an awesome video. Sometimes a review can make you feel a bit discourage from visiting a shop. It’s like people make things personal. One little bad experience shouldn’t spoil your fun. Life is to short enjoy every little moment that makes you happy. Keep on collecting!

[@Darkraii.]

I live in NYC and I've been to all of these shops. a few of them are mostly known for their locals/tournaments and aren't too focused on products which might be the cause for the low reviews
