    great thoughts. Definitely considering a crate of 3 pack blisters.

      @@Foxy1Airsoft thank you! Really appreciate it. 3 pack blisters are a great option if you can't get booster boxes at MSRP or below

    One of my buddies own a hobby store and he sold me 5 sealed Lost origin BB for 500 I'm definitely going to be holding there and the limited edition Eevee gem box for 650 🤤 I was definitely happy with these purchases

      @WishlistCollectables thank you brother! Yes, it's an aspect a lot of people don't consider. Blisters and sleeved packs are excellent to offload as you will know, running a shop 😀

    What are your thoughts on this….I can buy Paradox Rift sealed cases for $500 all in, Temporal Forces for $560 and Twilight M. for $600. Already have 3 cases of Paradox. But on the flip side the individual bb’s are all $100 all in. Keep buying Rift at $83 or buy the individual boxes at $100 and mix it up?

    • @baztoise

      Thanks for the great question Brad. If it were me, I would spread it across a range of cases. If I already had 3 cases of PR, I'd spread the rest of my funds across TF and TM. Remember, we can't accurately predict what set will go up more than the other so it's best to spread the funds. Also, when it's all said and done and these boxes go up to 500-600-700 the extra $17 dollars become negligible in my opinion. If I was flipping the boxes then of course the extra $17 makes a huge difference but not so much for longer term investing. I hope that helps and makes sense

    Hey man, I'm gonna tr and give you some food for thoughts on the matter of auxiliary products:
    what about scalability?
    Let's say you wanna park 10k in BBs vs 10k in three pack blisters, will it still be easier to sell the original 10k worth of blisters against the 10k worth of BBs?

    • @baztoise
      @baztoise  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey Barrett, appreciate the comment. This video was intended for those people who may want to invest on a budget. Your question requires a more nuanced discussion and would be subject to multiple variables which are all subjective. If someone had 10k to invest, I'd suggest they go for sealed cases (as long as they have a secure space big enough for it). Although it is also a good idea to spread investments into a range of different products, ultimately I think booster boxes are the most stable. I think when it comes to "ease" of selling, it is again quite subject and dependent on the individual at question like where they are located, what their network is like and if they have the access to people that will buy them. Personally I wouldn't put 10k into 3 pack blisters unless I have a very established ebay store or physical store.

    Have you bought and sold booster boxes? if so, which ones, how were the profits and what platform?

    • @baztoise
      @baztoise  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I have. Mainly on Whatnot, in person and ebay. Typically I'd make between 15% to 30% on product depending on how I'm selling it. Your question actually gave me an idea and it's a good topic so I will make a video about this soon, going into detail about this process because a lot of people buy but aren't thinking about what to do when they need to sell etc. Before you ask, I came off Whatnot because of all the Blakes Breaks controversy and other scams which were happening and didn't want to be associated with any of that. I know it's much better now but haven't returned to the platform in a year or so.

    Why are you doing pokemon investing advice when you barely invest yourself? I'm so sick of these channels jumping on the investing bandwagon when they barely invest themselves. Let's see your case of 3 pack blisters.

    • @baztoise
      @baztoise  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Says the guy who didn't watch my videos. I literally just bought 10 cases of Japanese 151 😂 and I don't need to buy cases of 3 pack blisters because I can afford booster boxes, I've completed SWSH and S&V + a few S&M boxes and a bunch of Japanese boxes. Watch the content before making comments, you end up looking silly!

      @sotorc1448 again, go and watch the videos. I've bought plenty. I've even done videos showing the boxes with the ebay screen shots of purchase prices. Stop trolling and go watch your fairy tale prediction videos.

    • @sotorc1448
      @sotorc1448 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @baztoise how are you this slow? So, for me to know that you're a "real investor," I have to watch every single one of your videos? For the 4 random ones where you buy stuff? I've seen quite a few of your videos and didn't know you bought anything. Don't you see the problem here? Show me one large purchase of something investing before you started your brand new channel, and I'll believe you. But I put my life on it says you won't.

    • @baztoise
      @baztoise  หลายเดือนก่อน

      @sotorc1448 No, you made the claim that I don't invest. I refuted that because the evidence on my channel proves otherwise. You want to attack me personally, that's fine. Go ahead. Just know these comments will be here for everyone to see for as long as this channel exists. And ultimately anyone and everyone who has watched me since the beginning will look at your comments and understand your level of intellect.
      And let me make one thing very clear. I am not an "investing" channel! I make a range of content, with investing being one of them. So please spare me the BS trying to make it out that I claim to be an "investing" channel or that I have ever claimed to be an expert. In fact, the most recent video I made, I clearly highlighted the fact that I AM NOT! And this is why I don't make any predictions!!!! I am however not a car salesman and actually have 20 years experience in the "investing" space, albeit real estate, so I don't need you to tell me whether my questions are valid or not.
