Im 95% sure, due to it being a pokemon centre exclusive, these are not available through distributors or wholesalers, so ot is very hard to get the amount they have, particularly to then sell it 20% below the price they paid.
Pokemon Centre not always the best avenue if you can pick it up for retail on the secondary market. Picked up a fusion strike booster box from the PC which got delivered today and came with a Stanley knife tear at the top where they have obviously cut through a case which has impacted the condition of the box. Very disappointing
No returns via PC for any damage to the outer boxes. Not many people know about this until they speak to PC directly. Their website states: Final sale items cannot be returned for a refund due to box or outer wrap damage. Something to think about when ordering from PC for sure
I made a questionable purchase on ebay. This guy had paradox rift and astral BB for 85 dollars. I bought 2 of each since the guy had a decent rating of 600 something
Price is 20% below retail on a product that is only available from the pokemon centre at retail price. The stock levels far exceed those permitted to purchase also.
@@PokePond So they scalped, went underwater, and are trying to swim back up for a 20% loss instead. Why would you fake new stuff when faking old stuff makes much more money.
If there is a good product and sells well; there will always be a copycat. On another note, I think stores are putting some Pokémon Product on discount because they have an abundance of said product and need to make a quick buck and make room for new merchandise.
Strange they are still available on PC at £50.00 delivered. Maybe a few people have over ordered and want to free up some cash? Would be a great video if you bought one and opened up?
I find it interesting the prices in the UK for some boxes are so different than the US. Is there a reason for this? Different market interests? Market size?
Generally its down to supply. The demand for sets seems generally the same. As soon as our msrp priced stock disappears, prices generally go in line with NA/US. Sometimes we even see the boom here first.
Thats not too cheap for PC ETB, $50 is how much they are on the PC, theres no unique cards if they bought a bunch and they aren't moving you take a loss to reinvest the capital into a product that may sell better. Thats not an unbelievable low price and has been a common thing for a long time. I bought some Paldean fates recently that does have a promo for $35, well below PC price even pulled a charizard that got me a PSA10.
They are a higher cost at retail in £. These are pokemon centre exclusives so not available at wholesale distributors so its hard to get many as theres limits to purchasing. Im 95% sure they are fake so why wouldnt I warn people.
The little box next to the price on tcg means loose or sleeved blisters not a damaged box
So u're not even sure...

I must have been lucky, everyone of my BB have been ok, and had to order in singles due to the limit.
Yeah same here I have ordered 4 cases from PC always good the etbs tho come damaged tho

Might be legit, paradox rift was going cheap from distributors, thats probably just under what wholesales pay.
So.... because the price is low, you are claiming fake products are hitting the market?
