Opening a FAKE Poncho Box at Front Row Card Show Day 1 | Vendor POV

[@VinhcentWinnn]

Right when I heard that plastic wrap. I knew 100% it was resleased. And dude saying he got a refund immediately right off the rip with no explanation from the other seller. Dude, hella sketch. I'm glad you didn't get scammed, man.

[@Pokestoptcg]

Yeah, it wasn't the right type of plastic. Also, as far as refunds, he did message the guy while we were there, I just didn't include that in the video since it wouldn't really be relevant to my vendor POV. I can't say as to whether or not the refund actually happened or not

[@Gaddo_]

Doesn’t make sense to me that he would know it was resealed why would he want the vendor to open it in front of him if he was scamming?

[@MrCodgod111]

@@Pokestoptcgplease continue offering to buy them as long as you get to open them and confirm it’s all there. Taking these bad boxes off the market is amazing.

Not to get into no racial thing … in my area there’s been a lot of mainlander Chinese going to shows and shops trying to sell re sealed boxes … 2 weeks ago they sold a case of evolving skies .. boxes were resealed and looked brand new .. I would be wary of anyone you don’t know trying to sell you sealed product

Keep the vendor vids coming, You, PackBattle, and BulbaStore are the top Vendor POV youtubers. Make them longer to if possible to.

I should of bought a Moonbreon when i saw one going for $350 back about a year and a half ago. Makes me sick now seeing it going for so much. Id love it in my collection.

[@edwinner100]

this dude knew exactly what he was doing

[@peanutbutterpandapuffs]

the amount of people holding the bag on resealed stuff is probably willllllld , especially fake booster boxes lol

[@Pokestoptcg]

Yeah, that’s one of the main reasons I don’t do too much sealed. It’s been really bad especially lately

[@peanutbutterpandapuffs]

@@Pokestoptcg you did great handling it though 😂 I don’t think I could ever be a vendor and deal with “I know what I have” type of people” and sketch situations

[@Pokestoptcg]

⁠@@peanutbutterpandapuffsI appreciate that!

[@nanophree]

is it impossible to tell if like skyridge booster boxes are fake? these go for like 50k

[@peanutbutterpandapuffs]

@@nanophree A lot of times the warning signs are probably while youre buying the item and you can see if the seller is sketch or not. Nowadays its even harder since its one clueless person selling to another clueless person and its like a chain of who gets left with the fake box lol. I would probably never recommend buying sealed if you have zero clue as. to what a "proper" seal is on a box.

[@W0rstplayerNA]

I'm gonna be honest, that thing looked resealed the second it got pulled from the bubble wrap, look way too much of a modern heavy reseal. Then when I heard that wrap when you opened it, it all but confirmed it Not to mention the owner himself being scared to open it. He knew it was a jigged box from the get go.

[@Pokestoptcg]

To be fair, anyone opening a $4.5k box would be pretty nervous about doing so, especially since the boxes have a history of being resealed often and resold.

[@xerlapis]

nice awareness vid, Will.

[@Starkiller_1911]

That plastic the second I saw it peel I knew 😂

[@ambassador724]

One last ADHD comment (appologies) - I'd totally seek this guy out at the shows. Smiles, good customer service, no shady business. You do well bud. Good going out there. Best of luck in the future!

Just bought the same poncho box recently and feel very good about it being real now, thanks for posting! Great content! Subscribed!! Keep it up and hope to see you at a convention here soon!

[@LullabyAnto]

Idk what it is about these pov videos, but they’re so addictive 😩

[@mos_tekmusic7285]

You can point at a card with $200 price tag and ask "can you do 200?" Vendors always be like "sorry best i can do is 201" lmao

[@SapphireGladeComics]

I suspect that the guy who was trying to scam you will do it again. He knew damn well that poncho was resealed and the person he got a refund from is likely a co-conspirator. Good job handling it though. But I'd be weary of that person again if you see them again.

[@Pokestoptcg]

For sure! I always like to be more cautious than not

[@outremer91]

My question is why would he want it ripped right there if he knew it was fake.

[@Pokestoptcg]

@@outremer91 because he didn’t know it was fake

[@Ttyronebigumms]

Maybe he didn't know or maybe he realized he was being recorded so he decided to play stupid to save face that are the only two possibilities​@@outremer91

[@Sneedmeister]

@@outremer91 its called a bluff. he said "yeah man you can rip it" because he expected him to go "nah man thats okay i trust you"; because why would a dishonest person say to open a fake product? He has hoping his assurance of "yeah man you can rip it" would disarm OP and secure the trade. its basic psychological manipulation

[@leafyeon]

Whoa i was so confused for a sec when you opened it and it was like there was something there but mostly empty it looked so clean the packaging (i can't tell since its on a vid that the plastic wrapping is hard or soft or not but man.... what a strange one)

[@admiralarroyo777]

Hey brother, as someone looking to get a sealed poncho box, is there some way to catch this from the outside?

[@Pokestoptcg]

Honestly, it's though but the best way is to compare with all of the video openings already on KZbin

[@AverageInternetCitizen]

Nah, 1k for raw Moonbreon is banditry 😂 Accurate price, but still absolutely banditry

[@jayyoung6421]

Is this the pokestop from san Diego

[@MrHeracles8]

Hey man I think you should send a picture of that guy to all vendors. That’s was a scammer clear as day!! Who reacts so chilled after finding out their 4k+ box is fucked and who gets a refund without any hassle within 15 minutes (I guess). He also didn’t want to show the other box to keep the wrap as he’ll try to scam another vendor with it during the show. Name and shame him!!!!

[@Pokestoptcg]

I actually don't think he was lying about now knowing. He's been in the community in our area and I think he just caught a tough break on the poncho box

[@slayerzerg]

great video audio was totally fine! also yea jpn sealed boxes always feel the wrap, if it's too rigid or crunchy don't buy it.

[@Pokestoptcg]

I need to get better about checking my mic and camera's battery life during the show haha

[@OreoZCookie2020]

If scammer got his money that quick, why didn't he buy the cards with the money he got refunded at that moment? 😂 bros a c lown

[@missingno81]

Never got eevee alt arts box, people were price gouging so bad on release $200 for a $40 box. Swore off all sets released during that year unless it was msrp.

[@mikuz210]

That was such a smart play to only offer trade for the poncho box and open it in front of them. I'm not very familiar with them but I'm assuming it was only possible because box was worth more opened with the contents. I have no clue how you all prevent getting scammed if the product is worth more sealed so more power to ya. Great vid 😊

[@Pokestoptcg]

The two poncho promos are where 90% of the box's value comes from, that's why I told him I'd need to open it right then and there in case something went wrong. It's scary out there nowadays

[@DrgsupremeNYC]

Great vid man! Keep it up, really enjoyed it
