You can preorder from Pokémon center for $37/box. Highly doubt there will be supply issues. You don’t need to pay 50/box for an unknown preorder.

I'm in Japan and buying gifts for the kids. I've watch a couple of videos after the shopping (my bad); received a text from son to watch your video. I'm here at the release day and I was clueless, but noticed long lines at a couple of Pokemon Centers in Tokyo. But, there was a store, no lines, an ladely bought 6 boxes and an elderly man bought 3 boxes. I may have missed out? Well, I spent over $500, kids will have a lot of plushes and capsules to open (still fun for them). Thanks

@AlvinSeo-i3p I think my comment got deleted. Through Sendon. You order the stuff on Pokemon center with their address. They repack and send it to you for a low price, like a few dollars. You can also choose the value on the package yourself so you can lower customs.

I have a much harder time "investing" or at least understanding what I'm doing when investing in japanese sets. I can't ever get the buy time right, they reprint often and I never know why boxes move so much. Like lost abyss. I bought it at the last reprint when it went from 220-70 and it hasn't moved from 70 really. I'd have thought it would have gone right back up but maybe the reprint was bigger than I thought. I'm still holding, let's see what happens.🤷♂️

Answer to the first 5 seconds is not really. Do the same as every other set, buy a case or two and move on. Unless you're truly in the game to be buying and selling for a small loss or very small profit. Volume is how millions are made, not hopes and dreams
@Infamous159Ай бұрын
The reality is, we all want to be investors, but we're all just collectors. Brian here is a retailer basically. Definitely not a reseller and 100% not an investor. He's a store. No customers, no money. The "investments" he has will be nearly negative returns across the board trying to sell all that as a regular dude like us. Why? Because eBay lol. Man is a whole Pokemon shop. Don't trip. You all have hopes and dreams but aren't putting in the work or risk to move massive amounts of volume like he does. The reality is, none of us have the money, motivation, or house space (if you even have a house) to do so. So we buy a box or two, a case or two, and we move on and wait 15 years. That's what a collector does who doesn't have thousands of profit worthy cards/boxes to try and multiply over months of work. It all depends on your risk level and if you got at least 50k to start up a legit Pokemon shop, which is probably a terrible idea anyways. BUT you COULD make it like him... And even if you could, doesn't mean you're going to enjoy the life sucking process of packing boxes all day. You do you. I'll have to stick to my ebay envelope/ground advantage shipping of every single card I pull that I don't want and keeping everything I REALLY actually want to open SEALED lol. There isn't any steady profit for us, unless you're just God himself pulling all the good cards and being right on every set every time.

So there’s a contradiction in the video. You say the seller is not responsible for committing to the preorder if prices go up but if the price goes down they demand the buyer commit to so agreement. Please explain how this makes any sense. If I lock in pre orders the seller should be obligated to fulfill that order. By that I mean I shouldn’t see the same product on their website the following week for $30 more a box.

Hi, i am an Aussie and i have to say i have pre ordered on the secondary market 3 Pokemon Centre ETB for the promo mainly and i would be pissed if the person cancelled my order because it was dearer when it comes out after holding my money for up to 5-6 weeks.. and if its a flop the buyer still wears it and you said why should the seller care.. you pay early as you say to hold those boxes.. higher price or not on release you should get those boxes.. i would leave negative feedback and not buy from them again. Ha Ha.. but hey, you have a great day and i like your channel so i will subscribe just not sure i agree with that bit you said. Cheers.

I think you talk a little too aggressive. You seem very bearish, in a lot of the videos I’ve seen you in. Bias because you own a store that makes majority of your money on consistent inflow of orders. People that “invest” “hoard” are dead clients for you. You need clients that open packs on a consistent bases. You’re trying to convert people that invest into pokemon into non-investor. But there’s always 2 sides to a market like this. So don’t feel too bad. You help the market flow.
