Card shops definitely open their wholesale packs to sell individual cards. Also, +10% is of the price at the time you press the button, not the market price, so pressing it 5 times is a little over 60% over market, not 50%. ($100 times 110% = $110, times 110% = $121, times 110% = $132.10, etc.)
You can use a work bench to sell cards in bulk but, you need at least 100 cards. Also as of right now, if you don’t have a shelf to put it on, you can softlock and the only way to get out of holding the box is to throw it away.
Kage, when you buy the 64 pack box the full cost is $105.55 (incl S&H), the cost per pack is $1.65, if you then open the pack the cost per card is $0.235 so if you sell the individual cards for more than $0.24 per card on average you are not losing money.
Also, card shops most definitely open packs. In my experience I’ve seen bigger shops open 10-20 cases to have singles available on release day. They have to be able to have a supply ready for collectors and players. It’s always cheaper for them to buy singles than it is to crack packs in order to find the cards they need.
I got into Magic in the late 90's just before 4th edition and I thought the same thing at the time. Even though I do have some of those $1,000 cards I don't play with them that much. The new cards are way more fun to play with.
The benefit of buying the boxes with double the pack count is you’re only paying shipping once. If you buy two boxes of 32 packs the shipping is $10($5 each) but if you instead buy one box of 64 packs the shipping is only $5.
Wrong. Shipping cost is not $5 each. Minimum cost is $5, and then it varies on the amount of items you buy. His first order would have been $20 Shipping if it was $5 each, but he only payed $8. It's also $8 if you only buy 2 items, so if he bought 2 of the 64 packs, the Shipping is the same as 4 32pack. It is the better choice if you only need to fill 2 shelves tho. Then you only buy 1 64 box instead of 2 32 boxes, saving you $3. Otherwise, no, the Shipping is slightly more complex than $5 per item. 1:22 timestamp, $8 Shipping for 4 boxes.
Yeah, I hadn't played that long when I made this post so i got the specifics wrong but the point is still correct. The purpose of the boxes with more cards is to save on shipping costs.
I fired up the game, and I noticed that you dont actually spend $8 if you buy two of the same item. You spend $5 only. So the shipping price increases when you have a variety of items, but the amount of the same item doesnt change anything. He could buy 10 of the 32 boxes, and the shipping is still $5. Done and tested. But if he buys the 32 box, and say another item, the price increases to $8. The amount of same item doesnt affect it, only when you add different items. The purpose of the larger boxes is not to save shipping cost, as the shipping is not determined by amount of items, but variety of items. Its $5 for 10 packs of 32, and its $5 if you buy 10 packs of 64. ($8 if you buy them in the same purchase, because your order consists of 2 different items) The point of the larger boxes is for storing, as shelves has a finite amount of space. And its also a timesaver when restocking since you only have to pick up 1 box of 64, instead of 2 boxes of 32. Less time walking between shelves, storage and garbage. Same goes for boosterpacks (4 or 8 in a box). Point is, bigger boxes changes nothing when it comes to shipping. At least in previous versions, and current. It may change in future updates. So no, your point is not correct.
And there’s been how many updates and patches since I made this post? Maybe things have changed in the meantime? Since your brain is too limited to consider that a possibility and you feel the need to correct random strangers on the internet I’ll give you this one. I am 100% wrong on this and have always been. I’ll self flagellate tonight as punishment. You win. It must be nice to be you. Here is your prize… you win 100 internets.

It'd never happen, but it's be cool to sync some of these up along the same street in multiplayer. You've got a card shop, your buddy is running a grocery store...
I'll tell you from years of collecting ⚾ cards they sell for basically market price unless it's an ultra rare card. Card buyers are very in tune with the prices and the market. And yes dealers do open up packs to have individual cards to sell
6:12 this card is worth more because it has a foil treatment so it reflects light and stuff They are very pretty and sometimes rare, although sometimes they tend to bend like a pringle so some people don't like them
also your bills go up daily so if you can afford it pay it daily and you can put items on the top shelf as it has three shelves and the personal cabinet you use to put cards you want to open or the deodrant well thats what i use it for
I did not see it in the comments but every card you own personally and sell on the shelf takes away from the cards you have collected when you open the book. I assume there is some achievement for collecting all of them. I guess selling only if you have more than 1 of those cards is suggested.
Thanks for this video.. now i have to buy this game lol also putting a card display right next to the window is a horrible idea.. the sun would cause damage to the cards
Personally having card table close to window would be my choice, that way people would see shop busy and attract more people. In uk the few shops we had in my town, always had play tables upstairs out of sight.
Card shops do open card packs. Now the big thing is they are using CT scanners to see if there are any high-end patched cards inside the boxes. Before they even open a box. So if you buy cards looking for the 1 of 1 patch card it is best to buy straight from the factory like Panini not from a card shop.
Got this the other day. Surprisingly fun and addictive. Kinda like some TCG games are cardboard crack ... this is pixel crack? An old TCG shop near me used to buy boxes, and cases sometimes, to crack open. For Magic, each box has an expected number of Mythic Rare cards, or used to, or a mythic pull rate %. I know a lot has changed in the last 5-6 years with MtG. When mixing product on shelves and what not, you may get no mythics when cracking as a store owner. A prior customer(s) might have gotten the mythics already. So you always crack new boxes. And, if you pulled the expected number of mythics from that box, you just shelve the rest of the packs. So in this game I have been buying at least one 32 pack box for me for every 3 for the store. I crack that box and if I pull a couple high value cards early I just shelve the rest. 😉 The other night I was opening a box of the Rare packs (gold packs) and pulled a card worth $2700, then the very next pack I pulled a $700 and $500 in the same pack. I shelved the rest, no need to keep cracking at that point lol. I have a lot of $5 and under cards right now. But I am sure there is a way to sell the commons and bulk cards.
Cards can be full art or holographic/foils. If that helps, the full art doesn’t have the boarder or anything. I’m not sure how the pricing works on them yet. I am a card collector but not for value!
If you mark your items even a penny or two under market you will sell out fast. You will earn more money rapidly than you do when you mark things up over market average
Kage I dont know if you noticed but when you were marking the cards up 50% then hit the round button one of the cards went from 1.30 then after round 1.00. Time stamp 31:11. What if you hit market price, then round, then up the 10%. I'm thinking if it's under .50 then it rounds down over .50 it rounds up. Something to look into.
I have found that if you set the price just below the market value, they sell incredibly fast. You end up making more money because you're going through so so much volume but the big part and the reason why you want to do this early now later sets. You don't have to worry about it so much, but you almost get doubled to triple the XP than you would get if you sold them at the higher market value
Right, and it's always cool to be the shop people like because you're undercutting the competition. Regardless the packs only cost you like $1.23 or something a box. If I sell them for $2.00 and market price is $2.50 I'm still making a profit.
As a bussiness owner running a TCG Card Shop, I wonder if there is Taxing in this game lol If the game tells you you made 200 dollars in a day, it can reflect the real life, except in real life from those 200 dollars you made you have to give half away
Your cards are definitely too expensive. It will limit your sales, daily profit, and progression. Lower prices will generate more packs sold per person on average, it will also give you better reviews and bring more customers into your shop. It will compound your profits drastically. It almost sounds counterintuitive, but don’t worry so much about how much you are making per pack. Don’t be greedy with the mark up!
I'm not sure if the full game is different from the prologue, but in the prologue I can't set the prices for really more than market or they literally will not buy any at all :')) Idk how you were getting away with having your price set so high and having them still buy something
You confuse market price with markup. Market price is what it sells for elsewhere, why do you think your shop can sell the same product at a higher rate, most shops have a slightly lower price to attract customers to their shop
I bought t and played it for about three hours. Around hour 3 I discovered I could move the cash register. I’m going to start a new game to do shelf stock comparisons.
I can't play this game because my life would fall apart. I started playing mtg a few month back and have already spent a couple grand 😂. I got some disgusting decks already too
the display shelves actually hold 6 boxes. the top is also a shelf.

I love how thick the customers are. There definitely need to be more neckbeards, lanky dudes, and kids as customers though.
YES!!
In the setting you can set auto opening pack, you can also set to stop with new cards.
I played the crap out of this yesterday when it came out, glad you're checking it out and doing a series.

Thanks for always putting links to the games in your description. Very helpful 👌
Hands down the best trash can location in any game
Buying it now 😂

Been playing the mobile game for a while. Excited to see this.
Same here, I didn't really like the 2nd game.
Wow, looks much better then supermarket sim. Good work mate.
Ordering bigger boxes saves on shipping costs.
Why am I already obsessed with this game?😂😂😂 more videos please!!
IKR!
What a awesome New series!! This are really fun video's to watch! Like to see more 💪👌
Would definitely like to see more of this, love these simulator games!
It'd never happen, but it's be cool to sync some of these up along the same street in multiplayer. You've got a card shop, your buddy is running a grocery store...
Would love to see more of this - looks like fun!

I used to play magic the gathering too kage! My deck was built to make people discard cards and lose life points when they discard.
I had a simulator strategy in yu go oh running bistro butcher, worked fantastic back in fusion era, until you came across a Exodia deck.
Them: seems a little expensive.
Also them: I’ll take the whole shelf!
Just bought this today looks so fun, cant wait to play after the holidays
Awesome kage! I bought this game 5sec into the video! More more more
loved the video and earned a subscriber, hopefully this becomes a series :D
6:12 this card is worth more because it has a foil treatment so it reflects light and stuff
They are very pretty and sometimes rare, although sometimes they tend to bend like a pringle so some people don't like them
Awesome video as always, wish my videos and live streams came out so smoothly.
one of if not the best sim game made
also your bills go up daily so if you can afford it pay it daily and you can put items on the top shelf as it has three shelves and the personal cabinet you use to put cards you want to open or the deodrant well thats what i use it for
Let's goooo!! Thank you kage
I wish Blood Wars was still a thing. I miss that game.
Oh this looks fun I gotta play this tomorrow on twitch
Games looks fun so far. I'll buy this after work. Tired of Space Marine 2 lol. Thanks
This game looks likes it's using supermarket simulator assets.
Also thanks for letting me know of this game
or they are both using stock assets

Remember collecting those Garbage Patch card after my sister got into them, would've been late 80s to early 90s.
It's a good game
i work at a shop and yes we open pack ... more like 1 or 2 box a week depend are we sell
Saw this on steam yesterday, I'm glad you're playing it 😁
Your shelf isent full, the top can also hold items too.
😮 I want this game 😂 tho I card collect vintage hockey trading cards and wrestling cards

Fast sell is if you do only +10%
Stinki you bay sprey for it
incase you dont know shop b unlocks the store room

Simulator is a lot better than in rl. In rl you'll lose your life savings 😅😅😅
Well technically having a licence for more then 1 box should be cheaper because of wholesale not sure why it's basically the same price.

magic the gathering is the best to ever do it, It INFLUENCED every other card game thats similar to it since it was created.
Looks like supermarket simulator
Maybe it's from the same developer.

is this the same creator as supermarket simulator? it's layout all looks so similar.
i don't think so.
“I used to play Magic the gathering but I didn’t want to study it or spend any money.”
10% markup in supermarket simulator you wish 😂 i did a 5% markup for cheese and ppl already complaining it's expensive 😂
Hearthstone was great till they expanded the deck and keep adding more and more stuff!!!
i found a super rare card worth 15k....ive oped over 2200 packs and only have 600 out of 1200 found

It's hilarious how these sim games never accurately reflect real-life.
