@@daviscampbell6722 I don't think you do. I wouldn't deal drugs the way pokene describes how he plays with other people's money. Most distributors don't have the ability to act in such irresponsible ways. Also the fact these same distributors are using debt to buy up all the cases creates a really wild... What do you pokemons call it? Oh that's right. Ramp? Yeah that's it. They are ramping up the prices. For all we know they are all 4 sets underwater and thats why demand has ramped up.
Irresponsible business practices? Tell that to you bank... they work in a similar way. I know there are alot of regulations, etc. but if everyone goes to their bank today and withdraw whatever they have in their accounts, they will go bankrupt in minutes.
@xerav1003 which is why banks are insured by the government and when they go tits up uncle Sam pays out. I don't know why everyone defends bad business. The US markets are about to revolt if Harris wins and smart money has always hedged months ago as the spy was allowed to run up 37% YTD and still the fed CUT rates when they should still be burning m2. Good luck with the can.
Wild that people are attacking you for being honest with us. 99% of Pokemon business owners probably practice this exact method. Instead of thanking you people are crying. I’m shocked lol. Thanks for the transparency 🔥
This doesn't seem legal to actually admitting to using presale money to buy something else and gambling with other people's money without them knowing? I don't know business law but just writing this seems like something you aren't allowed to do but that we all know businesses do anyways
This really only works when youve followed and completed every single part of brians "how to start in this business" SUCCESSFULLY. The key to all of it is fulfilling large pre-orders most common people dont pre-sell enough for a case. having a following , buidling the trust of that following is where the grind comes in. Most dont make it out of the grind phase, getting people to your site where people spend their money is the hardest part.
Hey Brian , I just wanna see if this is actually great advice also for small stores and upcoming folks who deal with smaller capital so I can totally agree to what you’re saying and thank you for the inside. This is very helpful. Appreciate you.
I find it crazy that people do not understand how retail works. Thanks for explaining it from your perspective. Don’t listen to these people shitting on u. They have no idea what Walmart, Apple, and these big cooperates do and you are doing nothing compared to them yet they buy their iPhones and shit without thinking twice.
QUICK QUESTION! If the pre-order funds are not withdrawn from our account until product is ready to be shipped (7-10days prior) how is it that you’re able to utilize that money a month or so out? I know nothing about how financial transactions work
You invest your own money though in proper things correct? Like you could just take a sweet 5% interest for holding it in an account but i can tell by the smile on your face and glint in your eye you get off telling us youre playing with other peopels money. Which is just such a hot take i love it. Top is in folks
If you're wondering and jump to the comments before the videos finished, he's not doing what the people in Rattles video are. He has enough money to to cover pre-ordered sales if he doesn't get a shipment in and can refund you. He starts the video by explaining what he thinks happened with the other card shops pre order, threw out the video he explains how he does thing differently in some ways but similarly in otherd. And aslo explains how bigger and smaller shops then him "normally" handle similar situations.
In light of the prismatic evolution buyouts on the english side, has your opinion on preordering the Japanese set changed at all (regarding your recent video)? Probably not, but just wondering due to those recent events.
Really enjoyed this video and found it interesting. Really wish I was able to get into the web based TCG business, but they aren’t accepting new applicants in my area unfortunately.
You're just an interesting dude man.💯😄🍻 We'd more than likely never come across each other in the Wild. Always appreciate your time & insight. I'm feeling we are in for some weird times for pokemon in the upcoming sets 😅
What i do for my online store is only order the amount that i think i can sell. Not going to think that i am some big shot and order way to much and then not being able to sell everything because i lack the customers.
Mixing your accounts payable & accounts receivable is so financially irresponsible to your customers who trust you with hard earned cash If you have an account full of funds then just use that…? I’ve never seen such irresponsible business practices until I came across TCG guys If you don’t have the capital don’t take the risk this is business not Las Vegas 😂
@ I work as a TSR for a distribution company we generate 15mil a year with 20-23% profit on avg Never in my career have we used this method for sales& inventory I showed this video to my in-house accountant and she couldn’t believe that people see this as “normal business practices” Don’t let this echo chamber of subscribers fool you in the comment section this is NOT how to run your accounting at any level of business I’ve seen some of his videos and he has some truly good info but THIS IS NOT GOOD INFO 😂
All I’ve learned over the years is it’s good to invest in bulk sealed product… as a normie and not a businesses that needs to keep its lights on based on a tcg market. I’d rather treat them like stocks that don’t cause me to lose everything because of the average persons feelings towards it. Supplemental. Not primary.
Sounds a lot like you need to diversify your products and merchandise. Pokemon has great margins, but the cards, while not a loss leader, are quite bad margins even at wholesale price compared to most products precisely because consumers know how to play the game of getting as close to the wholesale price as possible, but with practically all other Pokemon merch, they don't do that.
While I appreciate the transparency here, it does leave me with mixed feelings to know that this is something you are comfortable with doing. Regardless of if you have the capital lying around in a separate account, you are inadvertently admitting that there is a risk when buying your pre-orders. As a customer (some may disagree), knowing that my money is being used in this manner really deters me from wanting to conduct business with you.
Also to add, I love watching your videos and my comment isn’t meant to be a personal attack on your decision making ability, it’s just something I want you to be mindful of because you will definitely have customers who feel the same way.
understand your perspective but id rather buy from a store who tells you how the industry works, rather than doing the same thing secretly. This is how it works - im just the only one brave enough to tell the public
"It doesnt make sense for me to put that 100 grand in a seperate account" Well considering you got 100 and paid lets say 80, you made 20. You spend the 20. You flip the 20, you buy whatever you want, and you bank the 80 to pay your bills. Thats how adults do business. These people just suck at business. People arent even happy with the high profits you can make from an extremely hot and lucrative product.
Ive always said its sketchy when companies can taje tge momey out of your account immediately if you buy something on theur website but if you cancel it quick, it takes 5 to100 (exaggeration) business days for the momey to go back in 😂😂 ive always had suspicions the bank or the company are investing the money in stocks for those days in between
I appreciate the honesty but I think this came out in the wrong way. Lol. You should lead with having the cash to cover the orders because if you have the cash then you're not really using pre-order money, you could technically be using the saved money for those other purchases. You just save moving the money around by having that backup. What you are doing is investing capital, which is done all the time in the stock market which can also go up and down. I'll be honest, until I heard that you have a separate account I was shocked at what you were saying because I've heard good things about your shop.
People need to hold Pokémon accountable for their business practices.they have been milking 151 and why would they do a secret drop before surging sparks?
It is good that you talk about this and let people see the reality of what it takes to be a store owner , im not , but i know and understand what your talking about since i run the numbers on the restaurant i work !
This paycheck to paycheck debt based type system extends beyond Pokémon. It's the way of the world economy. To each their own, but I avoid debt like the plague
Love the honesty, amazing to see the business point of view and insights. Very, very interesting to see! Keep up the good work, and see you on the next video! 🙏
I’ve been wondering why they would announce Prismatic Evolutions JUST before Surging Sparks launched, basically taking the wind out of the sails of Surging. Makes total sense now. Risk of TPC/distributors not getting their money from retailers, and they need a new set of preorders to raise capital to pay the Surging Sparks invoices.
Pokemon always does this. For example, Stellar was announced before Shrouded Fable came out. Companies do this months in advance for a reason. Money. They want as many sales as possible months in advance so they can sell out, then order more and sell out again b4 the product even releases. Could they have waited a week? Yes. But everything is about numbers and profits these days.
No actually this is literally just how they do things. A new set always gets dropped for preorders as one releases. They’ve been doing this exact cycle for years
@@luckerooni1153feels like it does the opposite though. The Prismatic announcement has killed the hype for Surging Sparks. Feel like the answer is right here in Brian’s video. It’s about cash flow. Giving the retailers a chance to raise capital from new preorders.
Is this similar with the one piece market? I feel like a few months back there were a bunch of shops that were preorder sets for one piece way before the next set was released without any images or anything
Based on the comments below it seems like timmies are getting burnned by the harsh climate of Pokemon. -Allota 🧂 for an Ounce of Truth- Ooof. Keep the info 🐙🗞️ flowin man 🌮🌮🌮
What you're describing in your video is fraud. As a business, you have a responsibility to your customer once they purchase an item, to use that money to purchase that item. If you don't, this is fraud. Just got to the end of your video. If you think getting blacklisted by your distributer is the worst thing that would happen in this situation you should talk to a lawyer. I would strongly recommend you re-evaluate the way you do business. A contract is a legal designation for a reason. You made a contract with your distributer and your customer made a contract with you when they purchased the item. Breaking contracts will always have legal ramifications. The question is whether the parties decide it's worth pursuing.
I got some PC ETBs but missed out on the booster box preorder. Im just gonna give it a miss for a few months. As soon as Prismatic drops Surging BBs will soon drop again
aka you betting you get money back like on cards game shops like that deserv3 to go down i did 3 years in business not having one but i know that not how you run business like that betting on luck
LOL this is gonna be mega triggering for people. what you and most stores are doing isn't nearly this bad as long as you're responsible, yeah you're spending the 100k from SS on other product to grow your business but good businesses make good decisions about what to buy and how much to hold back to keep the cash flowing thats how you guys stay in business long term
Don't you think this is unethical? You light-heartedly refer to this process as a ponzi scheme. Can you honestly draw that parallel without questioning the ethics of the act itself?
@@pokene_pokemon Customers gave you their money with the understanding that you were using it to buy items for them. Then you used that money to buy completely unrelated inventory. Having access to an additional source of cash in case it goes wrong doesn't negate that initial ethical conundrum. The ethical question remains, Is it ok to take someone's money for a specific product, then use it for an entirely different purpose without informing or receiving consent from the customer?
You and any other business operating this way are deceiving your customers. Posting a “preorder” that is essentially just a crowdfunding event for YOU to generate revenue while you wait around for the set release is abhorrent. It feels like you are just making excuses because you aren’t directly hurting people if you don’t mess up. Any time I see you address complaints, you dress them in a way that allows you to completely discredit what they are saying as moronic. I hope your business picks up to the point where you don’t have to do this. The real reason businesses do this: they would rather risk the customers money than their own
@@pokene_pokemon I didn’t miss that part. “It feels like you are just making excuses because you aren’t directly hurting people if you don’t mess up” is the sentence where I addressed that part of the video. Read slower next time

@bloink3511 This is the biggest problem today, particularly in America. You can no longer have discourse about anything important, just crude arguments that degenerate into ad hominem attacks.
@ and it is appreciated, maybe I didn’t take the video as it should have. Saw it more of a “don’t trust small card shops cause they are just gambling” which obviously it all gambling in the end but still. Appreciate the time you took to make the video

As a business owner I can tell you, you aren’t describing a ponzi scheme, you’re describing extremely irresponsible business practices
I'm not sure you know what a ponzi scheme is
Exactly. In a ponzi, there's bagholders who just get robbed at the end. This is just "creative accounting" with horrible consequences.

The most important thing is that you received $100k of pre-order, so you should be paying less than $100k to your supplier.
Pokemon packs are like buying scratch off lottery tic, you mostly lose your money, but every once and while can win big
or don't open the pack and it might be worth more in the long run. hard to not open though........need shinies.
that kinda explained why one of the online stores just told me they had to delay my pre-sale order.....
