So happy that it's selling so well! I'm sad that I missed people dropping out of the patreon though, but only because I've been refreshing it 25x a day trying to get in lol.
I don't think I know a single magic player that would pay to play casual. It's kind of like paying to play Xbox which is why all those gaming stores go out of business. This is def the better solution.
@@lazarus6983but.... You do pay to play Xbox?? You buy the console and games, obviously, but you also pay for live to play with other people. Same thing.
hey man I started selling on tcgplayer a while ago, but I remember watching your vids for help when I got started. TH-cam algorithm randomly put one of your videos up and reminded me about you. Thank you. I'm completely into buying and selling, but your videos helped me with the shipping and understanding TCG.
If you start charging for commander please let us know how it goes. I'm in the same position right now, and am trying to figure out how to go about things.
We appreciate you from Tampa. Keep making your content and we will keep supporting you. You doing good business and people that appreciate you understand and those that don’t F’em!
Bro, long time business man here, we are same age and I look up to you. I wish I'd have your personality to show my face on camera, keep up the good work man. More videos of the front of the store and day to day use
Force your players to do the commander thing. We use extra promos and give them as prizing for their pod as well. I’m also sad I didn’t make the spread sheet cut :( lmk when sign ups to the cool kids club is next.
My store uses the log ins for commander night to do a drawing to give a couple of people random play boosters or promo packs. They announce to sign in 10 mins before doing a drawing. Not sure thats feasible of course, we locals try to support our store pretty well as is.
A store I go to has people pay for commander night by registering with Wizards ID by buying a pack for $5, and staying a few hours gets you another pack when you leave. Not sure if the math works out on the store side for that, but it’s a way that players aren’t just going in and playing for nothing.
Hey Rob, big fan of the channel you’ve been a huge inspiration in this card journey. I had a question about something, I am in TCGPlayer direct and want to make another account to sell anything over $1 because I have the time to and bulk out the rest on direct. When making another account did you just straight up tell TCGPlayer who you were and everything to speed up the account review process? I know it’ll be different for you because you’re a massive seller but I was curious if they “technically” frown upon it and I should be Lowkey about it when creating another account. Sorry for the long comment man haha
I am happy that your store is doing well and selling (and I am not in your local market but have bought singles off TCGPlayer from you.)... but WotC is stupid with it's pricing on all these sets/collector boxes lately. I can buy all the singles I want out of that set for half the price of one of those boxes. Again, I love the fact that an LGS can survive with this WotC bullshit, but I am a hard no to any sealed product and will just buy the singles until WotC pulls its head out of its ass.
I thought you were TCG Direct? Why do you need envelopes for shipping on TCG if you are sending call the cards you sell to TCG as they invoice you for them?
Instead of charging for commander night just make it requirement to use the code and have them put it in before they’re allowed to play. My big LGS would have issues because their play area is cross from their store in the mall. And the patreon bs sucks man. I’m sorry to hear about it. I’m still watching it for a spot to open up for me 😂😂
A store I go to has free commander nights, they also put the code up, but they offer a pack every half hour if you enter it. I'm not sure what you get from it, but it might be something to try.
Lord of the Rings set the precedent for Special Edition as the alternate Collector's Edition when they needed to squeeze more profit out of the set. Something like that could very easily happen to MH3 if demand crosses wizards threshold.
I can’t imagine walking by and not putting the code in and going on to sit in store for 5 hours like it’s a public space, at my LGS the commander players who put in the code enter a giveaway (probably to force them to use the code)
about the pre release code that we have to enter: I dont know if you tried this but before you give them their pre release boxes, tell them to enter the code on their phone. That way they have to enter it before they get their items!
Hello sir, so you have taught me how to package and ship cards thru your videos, so if you change the method, i need a dang update video lol. Even if its just, "i ship a new top secret way now, dont use my old method, ur on ur own" 😂
Jeweled Lotus Foil Textured did drop to the $400s for a few months recently on TCG (Oct-Feb), but currently the low price is $580. Hope you and your store are doing well and you enjoy your vacation!
I strongly advise against charging for Commander Night. Most Commander players enjoy the casual format. However, you are a store, and you need to make money. What are some other ways you can make money during Commander Night? Maybe have a binder full of Commander staples for sale? Maybe give Commander players a little extra on buylist tradeins to build you Commander Staples binder. Free Commander night can bring money into your store if you serve the Commander players and sell them what they want which is: Commander Staples.
Rob let's chat, we share many of the same thoughts an ideas. I have a few things I'd like to share with you one-on-one not for public consumption. Hit me up if you can. Thanks, man! Best of luck brother!
Pack per win "we pay out well" lmao
Skill issue, do better
pack per win is pretty standard
@@rng-gamez I can't tell if this guy is a troll or what... he is saying that's not good? @timhaloun elaborate, please.
We charge $10 for our fnm commander night and everyones prize is a $10 gift card. Works out well for everyone.
So happy that it's selling so well! I'm sad that I missed people dropping out of the patreon though, but only because I've been refreshing it 25x a day trying to get in lol.
Force them to do it. All of my commander nights have a required sign in to play. If they don't, they can play at home.
I don't think I know a single magic player that would pay to play casual. It's kind of like paying to play Xbox which is why all those gaming stores go out of business.

I was just down in Tampa a few weeks ago! How’s the card show scene?
Hey man. Do you happen to have the link to that box sim website you promoted a while back as well as your code? I cant find it.
The IDGAF attitude of this channel is so refreshing
Always happy to hear stores have a product that’s doing well! Thanks for the update!
Rob, I was thinking about getting a shop up in Monmouth county, revamped 1200 sq open space at 1800 month triple net. Good deal or not?

Not really with what you said the store would loose $1.90 for each person that walks in the door.

Would be interested in the envelopes if you do end up taking them to market. The TCGplayer and eBay ones are ridiculously expensive.

I thought you were TCG Direct? Why do you need envelopes for shipping on TCG if you are sending call the cards you sell to TCG as they invoice you for them?
Now that some people left the Patreon is there any spots available for Patreon in the higher tiers?
It will remain closed until I’m able to accommodate the people I have currently.
do you think the MH3 collector box cards will go up in value or just the boxes themselves?
Yah, MagEx is bullocks. You're making the right choice.
Are the MH3 collector boosters & play boosters printed in Japan?
Instead of charging for commander night just make it requirement to use the code and have them put it in before they’re allowed to play. My big LGS would have issues because their play area is cross from their store in the mall.

they also host CEDH nights @ 10$ a person and the winner gets 50$ store credit.
So free event and they give out packs? The economics of this is befuddling
eBay has those envelopes for a hair cheaper. If you sold them in bulk I would be willing to buy 500+ at a time
Lord of the Rings set the precedent for Special Edition as the alternate Collector's Edition when they needed to squeeze more profit out of the set. Something like that could very easily happen to MH3 if demand crosses wizards threshold.
Could be something they do but I highly doubt it.
ROB, let’s TALK, I see you BRO, Drinking that Ghost! Closest thing to Mountain Dew baby!!! That Live Mas one. get it!
Alpha Quest update? 🙂
I bet it hovers around 440 until release and then dips back down to 400 even for a while.
2 months later and boxes are sub 400. I know they’re gonna dry up eventually, curious how you feel today about it.
@@handfulloftrash I’m completely shocked that they held 400 for so long. I would have thought they would be 500 by now
I can’t imagine walking by and not putting the code in and going on to sit in store for 5 hours like it’s a public space, at my LGS the commander players who put in the code enter a giveaway (probably to force them to use the code)
Crazy that he has to give something away at a free event.
so your saying I should open em and sell the cards at rock bottom prices in the first week?
Please and thanks
@@rng-gamez on it boss
about the pre release code that we have to enter: I dont know if you tried this but before you give them their pre release boxes, tell them to enter the code on their phone. That way they have to enter it before they get their items!
10:10 is crazy wow....what do they think will happen wtf😂
I'll order something and check out the new envelopes.
I’m already out of the new ones :(
What about commander collector?
Low sales volume it will stay flat for a while
Lmao that one Sunday you live streamed for almost 4 hours and didn't realize it.

Have them enter code at the door

No, you can’t anymore
