I mean, most Pokemon youtubers haven’t been around long enough to understand trends in the market and how to react accordingly when the market is up or down or whatever. It’s like taking investment advice from people that just made a ton of money off one crypto/stock boom and thinking they now know the secrets to making money.

Except when Rudy tells you that every SW & SH BB under $200 is underpriced.

At no one point can you ever prove they won’t hit $200. If it cannot be disproven, it must be the truth.

It’s impressive you can keep any inventory while selling 1000+ cards every week!

100,000,000’s of pokemon cards are printed monthly. Supply is not a problem. Probably could 10x my volume and still be able source easy.

Dabbling in sourcing other sellers and sealed now. The margins are very thin, is it worth it? IDK.

Pokemon youtubers / influencers are of the same ilk as all other social media gurus. It’s entertainment masquerading as education targeting desperate people looking for quick money.
The only goal is to exploit their audience’s desperation/greed to generate advertising revenue and/or drive traffic to low quality (but expensive) courses.

Congrats on your success. TBH I can’t help but chuckle at seeing this thread - weren’t you just claiming to run a very inefficient / amateur business in that other thread? Meanwhile in here you’re showing evidence that you ship more volume than Z&G per month. I give you credit it’s quality content lol

last year it was over priced. Right now it is way under priced. I suggest you buy asap, these prices will not last forever, just like the ridiculous high prices last year did not last forever.
Not a sealed seller , Just loading up as much sealed as i can right now.
What a great time to have cash on the side.
monday delivery. It is like christmas everyday when Fedex/DHL arrives.

It seems like Japanese modern boxes are returning to pre-covid levels. Given the USA economy is going down, this doesn’t surprise me to see a return to normal.

And then some! I’ve never seen boxes this cheap! It reminds me of evolutions era when they kept printing English sets at the same rate as evolutions and they crashed hard.
