All the people going off in the comments on this video about what something is "worth" are missing the point. Something is only "worth" what you can get someone to pay for it. Sure, maybe dude could sell this stuff on eBay himself. But then he'd have to pay for shipping and deal with the time of packaging it all up and taking it all over the post office piece by piece, over weeks, months, years. Pawn shops, used bookstores, toy stores etc. buy things low and sell things for what they're actually maybe worth or more. That's how they profit, and profit is how they EXIST in the first place. That's because it takes work, money, and time for them to store it, package it, pay emplyoyees, pay bills, etc. If you take used items to a business to sell them, you aren't going to get "what it's worth", for whatever good that ephemeral value is of a nostalgia item that no one actually needs. If you don't understand this concept, then don't ever open your own store, because you'll be out of business within a month or two.

But the word polecat is not widely used anymore and may not be easily recognizable by most KZbin commenters. Keep up the great work!

It’s always easier to unload the whole lot, but you leave a lot of profits on the table doing it that way, but you gain convenience in selling everything at once. Pluses and minuses for sure. I buy and sell Joes and have for years. Guy accepted the offer, Ryan got a smoking deal, and both parties seemed happy, so that’s all that matters in the end. Plus, he sells them differently than I do because like you said he has the brick and mortar shop which is amazing, and has expenses. I think folks glaze over the value of the cards unfortunately though.
