    As someone who uses eBay regularly, let me explain something:
    He’s spot on with current prices but…
    No matter what you COULD sell individual items for, the market is so flooded that no one WANTS those items right now. It’s all about the celebrations cards. That’s it. You almost couldn’t give away those dice, sleeves, coins, extra copies etc. Maybe a year from now but even then idk.

      Yep, everything outside of packs and promos are hard to sell, just look at all the non-card items on Pokemon Center; just about all of them are in stock and the only way they can probably get rid of that inventory is if they ship out some “Special Delivery” promo cards with them or discount them by 70%. Pokemon Company is learning that despite of collectors wanting their cards, their brand as a whole is 💩 and generally undesirable.
      Having said that it wouldn’t surprise me if just the packs and promos are often worth more than then sealed product. That’s because some people only want promo and some only want packs to open; buying the whole thing and selling off what they don’t want is too much work. So if you’re willing to sell things separately to meet their needs, you can put a slight premium on things separately and come out ahead. I opened a Shining Legends Super Premium box for the shining Lugia promo in 2018-2019, sold the other promos, the packs, and playmat/sleeves/figurine/etc and almost got the Lugia promo I wanted for free. But I suspect this only applies to things still in-print and easily obtainable. Long term sealed products will be worth more than its contents as there will be less of them.

      So true! Most expensive card in the set is $65. People actually think this set will be expensive in 20 years but lol god no. When you have 100s of thousands of people keeping sealed celebrations product its not going to be rare at all. So it wont hold much value at all. The zard will be a $200 card (maximum) in 20 years

      True. In a Pokemon fangame named Pokemon Wilds I am looking for shiny Charizard. No hack works on this game. The probability of encountering one from an egg is 1/256, way more than in normal games, but still extremely difficult. When I find it I will build its own domain, like on a separate savanna island.

    “Sum of content is worth more than itself” has always been true for in-print stuff. I remember opening a Shining Legends Super Premium box back in 2018-2019 because I wanted a mint Shining Lugia promo that came with it. Sold the other 3 promos/10 packs/sleeves/mat/etc. and almost got the Shining Lugia for free.
    Some people only want the promos, some only want the packs, and some wants the rest of the stuff inside (coins, pins, sleeves, dice, mat, etc). None of these people want the whole thing, and selling off what they don’t want like I did is too much hassle. Hence if you’re willing to do the work and sell things separately, you can put them individually at a slight premium and still have interested buyers. Now this is only short term, long term the sealed products will probably be worth a lot more than the sum of its contents as there will be less and less of it.

    I can't believe how much the pricing for pokemon cards have gone up over the last 12 months.

  • @RayenDark
    @RayenDark 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    And this is why the UPC is going for $300 or more. The charizard alone is $200. Pokemon has to do better at printing more product and fighting bots.

    Thinking about getting this booster box, it's 80 on Amazon. But I'm gonna definitely check some stores out today, maybe some hobby shops.

    -10% ebay fees and an average of $1.50 to ship each item. Your return would be $75.60

    I used to be into pokemon when I was younger in the 90s early 2000s. I am now getting back into it for the collectability aspect. I have a few box sets like this one just sitting in the closet, it kind of sucks that I don't have the same respect for the game that I used to at this point I'm looking at it to gain a profit. 2023 new years resolution was to start playing pokemon again.

    I finally found a box in the uk, I have been searching since release day, and it makes it harder since I don't trust ebay or amazon for pokemon cards

    Blastoise was my base set favourite, and I packed him in my first booster pack of celebrations!

    The sleeves will definitely drop in value and the misc contents would be so difficult to sell

  • @gotterdammerung5527

    I'm not going to lie this particular set really did ruin a lot of things and they did it on purpose. As someone who actually owns the gold star Umbreon now no one and I mean no one has tried to haggle with me on a trade because guess what. Now they can buy themselves a brand spanking new version of it for $14... Nintendo knows what they're doing and they're purposely trying to ruin the value of their cards.

    The Celebrations ETB are retailing in my area at $299.99 .. Margin isn't nice.. I'm in East Tennessee. - Lunchbox tins are on the secondary at $50. - BTW - Where is Crown Zenith disappearing to? I saw a million ETBS a few months ago, now.. None~! (Seeing the video was made 2 years ago, after making the comment.. Makes me hate that I missed the party.)

  • @shanebryan2439

    I just opened up an ETB and got 2 gold star umbreons, 2 full art pikachu, and a birthday pikachu. Couldn't believe the umbreon pulls.

    Umm so I just got back into Pokemon and I bought a binder of cards at a garage sale for $30. They were all first edition and contained a Blastoise and Gyrados. Then I went to Walgreens and picked up 7 mystery packs. I opened 6 of them and got a Dragonite EX from evolutions on my last pack. Today beats my entire childhood of cards. I'm officially addicted to Pokemon again.

    So a couple days ago I went to Target to get my first box of Pokemon cards in years. I saw 50+ Celebrations Trainer boxes and I skipped out on those and bought a $25 lunch box because I didn't feel like spending more than $30. What an idiot 🤦‍♂️

  • @xuereb2867

  • @jeremywentzel3352
    @jeremywentzel3352 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Aren't they doing a more limited print on the celebration cards versus the other sets? I don't see the celebration boxes or etbs being constantly printed

  • @louisedecarolis2659
    @louisedecarolis2659 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fees on eBay are about 11% so it’s about a $50 profit. That’s actual pretty crazy I was thinking about it as I was opening my 2 ETBs today. I got a lot of good cards and an umbreon star so I was happy I opened them!

  • @annex6778
    @annex6778 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought 4 boxes and made a solid 100 bucks profit. I even sold off the boxes and i still have the greninja promos. But prices will probably crash soon

    @collectorbender8430 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you buy at retail it's safe, if you buy at 75, consider that ebay takes 12.5% of your sale price and the price to ship it in atleast 3-5 lots... u might profit like 10 dollars.... i also feel like your miscellaneous items will move very slowly if you were to do this with alot of etbs.
