Walkthrough Of Osaka Card Stores! Pokemon Card Shopping In Japan! (Osaka, Namba - Day 8 VLOG)

[@HarryWest19]

Super helpful seeing how you interact with the staff to view cards! Thanks

[@PokemonSteven]

thanks! my recording on this day was really dedicated to showing people a lot of the process, so it wasnt as hype or exciting as others.. but i think it was neccesary

[@rosscleghorn1979]

Hey mate, loved this one! such a good insight into how the stores operate and such.

[@PokemonSteven]

ty man, this one was my favourite to make to really show the boys whats going on

[@Kubs1023]

Thank you for vlogging for all the boys at home, glad to follow you

[@PokemonSteven]

ty king

[@justjack21]

Super helpful to see how you interact with staff and ask them to come over. Couple this with the buying through computers from the other videos and that should summarise everything i wanted to know, plus solidify the fact i need to go and complete some HGSS sets!

[@PokemonSteven]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MorkSD]

Very nice, both the bodycam and the rest of the video! Entertaining and helpful to get an understanding of how you do your shop tours. I'd love to buy some Bearbricks (the bears in the last shop) from Japan, since they cost less and they have the largest selection (especially the special editions) but I'm very skeptic of the proxy needed to ship those to EU... any reccomentations? Maybe you could add those to your shop too!

[@PokemonSteven]

No idea man, im sure every re-shipper coudl help you if you purchase them and get boxes with the purchase you could go to japan post and ship them to your own proxy account. i know many people who do this, but i dont know how it works with the values and stuff.

[@StrawHatTran]

Top notch vlogging! The clarity on your videos and audio has been pretty outstanding! The ASMR of checking conditions in a card shop 😂 Think you need to drop a discount code by your last video, craving slab purchases now haha

[@PokemonSteven]

lmao maybe ill do a youtube one

[@hzm8922]

Those graded neo shinings are crazy 💦 Maybe my next trip should be to japan, to complete a full neo shining set. Realy enjoyed these videos, good job Steven :-)

[@PokemonSteven]

yeah this store really was something else.. and tax free too!!

[@djmixitup]

Going to be there next week, trying to strategize. Can you suggest any shops with good bargain bins with vintage in it?

[@PokemonSteven]

some of the ones from akihabara in the first few days.. but there are so many stores to think of, i went to over 200 in 14 days, but its a good thing i filmed it so if i came accross it i made a note of it in the videos just for you guys :P

[@bentetv4309]

how did you search or to have a list of the available pokemon card stores in japan? Ill go there next year and would love to know a list of the available stores either in tokyo or osaka

[@ReikiHealingMusic_com]

Really enjoy this series of videos. the mix of styles and info is great. i would not just want a video showing the cards in cases but following the journey is great. i don't even deal in Japanese pokemon and I want to go look :-) BTW do you see any English cards in tokyo? just curious.

[@PokemonSteven]

a few stores have a small english range. but its not the focal point.

[@Limossol3922]

Hey awesome video man!! Were the two bee stores like right next to each other? I remember the second one you went into but I don’t remember seeing the first 😂

[@PokemonSteven]

they were right next to eachother or very close, the first one was a yugioh store and then upstairs is pokemon

[@SpeckysEmporium]

loving the vlog!!!, what camera and mic do you use please gonna be heading japan soon and would love to vlog too

[@PokemonSteven]

Osmo Pocket 3 ! and it comes with a microphone in built and an external one in the creator pack

[@TJCOLTS87]

tell that broccoli head jluv to not call us pokemon stevens fr fr. he mustve felt at home with his lego bears in that hype beast store HEHEHEH. u stress out too much about the way its filmed it was all done well stevey boy good job brother.

[@PokemonSteven]

lol

[@yiggawhat]

love the videos! what was your top 3 stores? i need to know if i wanna visit osaka again or if tokyo is enough😊

[@PokemonSteven]

i dont think i had a top 3, i had good experiences in tokyo and osaka, i dont think its worth going to either just for card stores. whichever city you end up in just enjoy it and then go to stores aswell

[@chexcollects]

You were loving the 3rd store! Youre usually not that excited in previous videos 😅

[@PokemonSteven]

ya that store was so crazy to just walk into

[@MrAsianpanda0]

Can you ever "negotiate" with the prices at any of the stores? Whether it's a discount or a certain price?

[@optimusp517]

I was actually disappointed with Girafull when I went two weeks ago. All their display cases were dirty and hazy. I'm actually shocked to see it's clear in your video. Prices are insane also. Sigh.

[@PokemonSteven]

oh really? every one i went too all over japan was pretty good i thought :O

[@optimusp517]

@@PokemonSteven I should've taken pictures of the glass displays, but didn't. I think my biggest problem is not going in with a card list of what I wanna pick up so going in blind doesn't help at all.

[@kimmykimmy_]

Thanks for your hard work!

[@PokemonSteven]

ty

[@christopherk7920]

i saw a poster for "Wanted" cards. Any idea if they buy those cards from visitors ? Thanks

[@PokemonSteven]

Its harder to sell to stores as a forigner, usually they want proof of address in Japan. In general i'd say its easier to sell your cards first and then go to japan.

[@laurentmanderlier6594]

i personnaly liked the other cam POV better, this is more like a global POV , not a "indept" POV of the shops Have a nice day!

[@PokemonSteven]

i agree, i prefer doing the camera and holding it around, but i havent seen any videos of anyone doing an osaka walkthrough or showing what purchasing cards is like, so i decided to do one !

[@chexcollects]

@@PokemonStevenit’s a great video. I think laurent can live with a video with a different camera view lol

[@alancontreras8888]

any chance you have a link for the camera? looks cool

[@PokemonSteven]

its called Osmo Pocket 3

[@OMGs-Life]

did you film everything with your dji osmo pocket 3 gimbal?

[@PokemonSteven]

yep its an awesome little thing

[@Andrew-yf3lu]

what do you mean by they do tax free? you normally have to pay some tax as tourist?

[@PokemonSteven]

some places in japan offer 10% off tax free discounts, but you will pay the 10% tax when you arrive back in your home country (they dont always charge...), so usually its just a 10% discount. Usually only in the main cities.

[@Andrew-yf3lu]

ty for clarifying! love your content@@PokemonSteven

[@joshaldridge5807]

Love you Steve xoxo

[@PokemonSteven]

ily2

[@marcellomarroquin9116]
