are you using your real name for the purchases? if they saw ur name they would give you the best stuff to use u for boosting there sales.

The guy isn't stupid...

[@beckg7317]

as big as mystic is on youtube it's bold to assume random scammers would care who they're scamming, bold to assume they would know or care really

For anyone wondering, buying from amazon is a gamble because anyone can buy a product, open it, reseal it, and return it and then it is sold to you.

[@fitendo7978]

Oh thank you. I buyed so many boxes there and didnt got scamed once and wondered why so many people said that the got scammed.

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

And if it's in amazing warehouse they throw same UPCs in the same bin so if a seller is selling counterfeits their items are mixed in the same bin as real cards so amazon is not a great place to buy anything you care about.

[@JohnTronMusic]

Just look for the unreturnable ones. Or check the seller, when its an shop in your country with a website & impressum etc. your safe. But lets be honest, you are never 100% safe buying stuff online...

[@tolo912]

I wouldn't be sure if people didn't post 1 star reviews on them because they didn't get a hit and try to get their money back. There was a dude at my local card shop that bought a pack and then called the police on the store for "theft" because he didn't get anything good. Well unfortunately for that dude he had a warrant out for his arrest. Pokémon packs is gambling for us nerds. Sometimes it has a nice payout but most of the time it's a bust.

I mean sometimes its hard to sell it for its "market value" if you have lots. Especially in Japan you often actually get good mystery boxes. Mandrake had some crazy ones thats sometimes was worth more than dubble the price when "maxmofo" bought them.

Do the people who think the mystery boxes are a scam not think regular packs are a scam? You're literally paying $5+ for a pack at the store to get an average of like $0.50 worth of cards printed on $0.01 of cardboard. It's all a "scam" if you're trying to get monetary value out of it. That's why all the money is in in keeping sealed packs.

Couple years back I myself got a mystery slab, paid I wanna say 30 or 40..can't remember. But I got a basic V psa 9 which is essentially worthless. Took me getting scammed to realize that these people do it on purpose. Sending useless cards in for grading just to advertise it as a mystery which draws people in. Say it costs 20 to grade, they sell it for 40 with the "mystery" tag and get away with it

The packs where sellers just sell bulk can be useful. If you're looking for hits, move on, but if you're like me who's just starting and looking to fill out some sets, then they're worth it. My primary focus is Twilight Masquerade, but anything for another set is worth getting. My goal is to complete a Master Set of Twilight Masquerade, by getting every card in every version of the card. I am considering getting an ETB mainly for something to store my bulk in.

see if you can find one of the cardboard narrow boxes card stores use for bulk before getting an etb just for storage. I did the sake thing and ended up with about four etbs full of cards when I could've just had one or two of the bulk boxes

[@UchihaSumairu]

EDIT: resealing boxes is NOT hard. People will weigh the packs and open the ones that are good then combine a few packs back into it and seal it. They don't need to risk opening the individual packs they don't think have anything and impossible to detect. You can get a shrink wrap machine for pretty much nothing. I have a question, Are the scan cards that come with packs supposed to match what you opened irl in the game? I had maybe half match PERFECTLY card for card then I'd notice the ones that DIDN'T match had much rarer cards. I opened about 50 packs and didn't get anything all that rare. This was scarlet and violet set so from what I understand it isn't worth much so maybe thats why but I wonder if this is a way to catch fraud? if it isn't, they could totally do that!

[@shauno169]

I sometimes wonder if the sellers of these 'mystery scams' see these type of videos and if they'll feel guilty afterwards ? Probably not though.

[@Daisukamaru]

First video I've seen from you, and this was fun. Also wanna thanks Mr. Algorithm, this was a good suggestion! \o/

[@missingno81]

I’ve had okay pulls from hidden fates but this was when it was first released, now that pokemon is hot there are more scammers weighing packs and doing subpar jobs resealing that a seasoned seller can spot easily.

[@JanderStrahd]

I'm disappointed that you did a cutaway to saying, "Well, let's see!" for *every single item,* but didn't do it before opening *each, individual pack.* "Is this pack going to have a Charizard? Let's take a look!" "Is _this_ pack going to have a Charizard? It could happen! Let's find out!"

[@Glaitgel]

The problem is also that many resealed packages come from customers trying to defraud the seller and then they end up being passed on to the next customer without the item being inspected again. This is how Amazon works, the retailer himself usually doesn't have much to do with the products he sells. For most retailers, Amazon takes care of this themselves; they take care of storage, shipping and returns.

[@Comfybunny]

Honestly I won't be surprised if some of the 1-star reviews are just from people who didn't get anything good from the packs. Opening packs is essentially gambling and no one is guaranteed to win. Buying packs from stores, online or wherever you're gonna have to assume the packs may just be duds. Sure everyone wants to be that lucky person to get that high value card to which some may turn around and resell them but that's like thinking everyone wins at the casino. Are there winners? Yes. Are there a hell of a lot more losers? Absolutely. Difference being if someone really wants a card they can just spend the money and buy the single than chase after it in packs.

[@danineedsanap]

Lmao the match battle pack is from McDonald’s I believe. They had packs with cute spinny things and cardboard coins.

[@joncross9264]

tldr: you won't get a comparable price to cost when you are buying cards, even regular packs. Your average pack is probably a crap RoI at retail and at resell. Your odds of getting lucky however may vary. Honest resllers probably have packs worth more than or are comparable to the actual cost of the cards. Its a balancing act. Give too much and you make nothing, take too much and you get nothing, because buying blisters would be the better option.

[@danielaaron81]

Why would it be so unlikely that a customer would in fact be the scammer, when not getting anything good they claim they were scammed for a refund?

So i would get being wary of resealed items if you doing this for profit,But man my kids and i just wanna get one of every pokemon so those 50-100 packs cards are great

[@jaredjasper3733]

I’m a big fan of blazing cards. They have 3 tiers of mystery slabs. The flaming is the lowest one (and yes usually the worst deal), however they are very up front on their stream claiming it’s around the price of grading a card. You’re paying for a card in a slab. I’ve seen people pull 5$ from it and seen 50$ cards in it. Most fall in the 10-25 range. Their higher tier mystery slabs are much better. They recently had a 2400$ poncho-pika in their premier mystery slab (Blazing - $250 cost with a floor of roughly 125$) And yes, someone pulled it on stream. My point is the flaming slab isn’t an accurate representation of Blazing cards and they are not a scam at all. Just wanted to throw that out there

[@katherineawolf4732]

Okay how Amazon works is that there are sold by Amazon then there is the marketplace seller which can get the buy box the buy boxes in most cases is not always Amazon themselves they're probably bought it from a unknown seller who was actually a scammer the front reviews are for the heading not for the individual sellers if he was going to do reviews you should have clicked on the seller's name he was buying it from and in most cases they get away with it because they just send it to Amazon themselves which is called a filament by Amazon
