Great advice, at minimum people should be both buying and selling to establish their eBay user name and get experience. Selling isn’t a “switch” that you turn on when convenient. I’m pacing for 6k items sold this year and it’s a ton of work. IMO people who only buy, have a hoarding mentality, when you also sell you can curate your collection or actually profit from the price appreciation of your collection, I find with “sealed collecting” people count their profits yet they have never sold a booster box in their life.
@@snoopy5413 this is true, however when you have big ticket items in your collection there are less buyers willing to trust a brand new account (that's what a known fraudster would be forced to use)
Great video! I'm older and my son got me into Pokemon cards when he wanted the Mega Charizard from XY Flashfire. We opened over 100 packs chasing that dang Charizard and never pulled it. The same thing happened with Phantom Forces, we opened a bunch of packs chasing Gengar EX 114. We never pulled anything of much value but the chase was fun and real. I started investing in Pokemon in 2020 just like everyone else, but I wanted the old XY sets that we opened when we started collecting. Although the XY booster boxes were already expensive (so I thought at the time) so instead started looking for any cheap XY checklane or 3 pack blisters and sleeved packs. I tried to buy one of everything and our china cabinet now displays a beautiful sealed collection of XY packs, blisters and tins. As you say, "vintage modern" is a real thing, and the memories of that era are awesome for my kids and I.
another great vid man, thank you for all the informative vids you upload. ive learned so much from you in the last months. I notice how much knowledge ive accumulated in the last months and its thanks to you. keep it up man!
Thanks Oz! I always open up 1 booster box of each set to still enjoy the pack opening experience and will pick up any singles I want for the collection down the line. Other than that, keep em sealed!
Hey brother I have to say you were early with Chilling Reign, FS and Lost origin and looks like all of your predictions were correct. What sets from Scarlet and Violet do you think is worth keeping an eye on? If one is to get in early. Thanks in advance and great video as always
I found your channel maybe 4 months ago. I have really been enjoying the videos you put out. Just saying thanks and I hope you keep making content for us all.
Having fun with it tip would serve all of us best for the long term - looking at my modest sealed collection definitely awakens some degenerate thoughts on opening something but then I just order myself a couple of packs of something modern to scratch that itch a bit :)
Number 6 for me is, thoroughly inspect what you buy from ebay! Had a few resealed product that came my way, would be horrible to hold onto something and it goes up big in price and turns out to be tampered with!
They tell me to love what you collect then they tell me don't open the product but, then i'm like what i'm suppose to love collect boxes that i can't touch for years for some profit? Makes no sense to me. Why are we not doing stocks or bitcoins? I would say change it to open 50% of the sealed stuff you buy.
Yeah my plan is to buy a case of booster boxes every set and open 2 for my binder, have 1 sealed in a case of my collection and the other 3 keep sealed to sell later on after a year i’ll have a lot of boxes already but i’m gonna do this for along time
Interesting one for ya . Do you Think packs of sealed Coles builder packs are a good investment as a lot of people are chasing that $80 au or so mew / Mewtwo rare . I went and bought a lot of marketplace to hold long term
I always sell pokemon lots and add bonus cards to get my feedback up. I make no profit but I am doing it for feedback for 5-10 years later when I sell my heavy hitters like umbreon vmax alt arts and giratinas.
Hey mate I sent you an email would love a reply lad!! You’re a legend honestly!! You’ve been around for a while and appreciate all the knowledge you’ve made the journey of returning so much easier thank you mate truely ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
everyone it’s gonna be so hard not to collect tons of booster boxes and then look at them for years and one day open all of them and then scream at yourself after and rage and go crazy after opening them 😢 that’s what i’m scared of
i opened 10-12 20th anniversary break boxes, 15 best of XY booster boxes 16 eevee heroes booster boxes... I hate myself, haahaha.... oh and like 25 boxes of gx all stars..... was chasing a god pack max I paid was 200 aud per box, but still...
This is some basic bi*ch stuff but I got a fusion strike booster box just too sit on got like 5 years just too see what it goes up too, also bought one too open just for fun.
@@pokeoz91 I was gonna buy a few shiny treasures booster box’s also there only 35pound, no clue what that is in your money but seems okay too me too keep a few years
Honestly, I don't understand why nobody is just selling singles for half a year and then taking that cash and going through a distributor to make a business out of it and really start making money.
@@pokeoz91 I’ve been searching for psa 10 potential cards and buying them at market value or less then grading them for a 10, most the time even a 9 gains money and you take that cash and buy a bigger card, rinse and repeat the process

100% …another bonus when selling on eBay are followers, you can build a great customer base with repeat buyers if you’re constantly selling.
solid take, but it’s so easy to make an ebay or TCG player account to sell your pieces of your collections

Wow! 6k items man, that would be busy!!

That's awesome mate! Glad you're enjoying the hobby with your son 👌

Glad to hear it! You're welcome!

That's exactly the way to do it bro! 👌

I think he said paldea evolved is the best in a recent video
Hey, legend, I think Paldea Evolved is it 👌 and 151 😎
I found your channel maybe 4 months ago. I have really been enjoying the videos you put out. Just saying thanks and I hope you keep making content for us all.
Glad you like them! Welcome aboard!
Love the Etb wall ours is coming along slowly
Awesome mate, you'll have to keep me informed with how it goes!
Having fun with it tip would serve all of us best for the long term - looking at my modest sealed collection definitely awakens some degenerate thoughts on opening something but then I just order myself a couple of packs of something modern to scratch that itch a bit :)
Exactly right mate 👌
Best advices I heard, thanks a lot! 😊
You're welcome!
Number 6 for me is, thoroughly inspect what you buy from ebay! Had a few resealed product that came my way, would be horrible to hold onto something and it goes up big in price and turns out to be tampered with!
Agree, got a great deal on a card because it was damaged on the back. Luckily was able to cancel with not too many issues.
Very good point mate!
They tell me to love what you collect then they tell me don't open the product but, then i'm like what i'm suppose to love collect boxes that i can't touch for years for some profit?
Makes no sense to me. Why are we not doing stocks or bitcoins?
I would say change it to open 50% of the sealed stuff you buy.
I always open some packs for the cool sets as well 👌
Yeah my plan is to buy a case of booster boxes every set and open 2 for my binder, have 1 sealed in a case of my collection and the other 3 keep sealed to sell later on after a year i’ll have a lot of boxes already but i’m gonna do this for along time
Nice work! 👌
@PokeOz do you have a recommendation for cases to store all your cards in?
Sealed I go ultra pro and same with sleeves and toploaders 👌
Thanks for the tip! love your videos@@pokeoz91
Keeping sealed products is like being an addict when u know that fix is on display right in front u
I've learnt the hard way with opening sealed product haha
Interesting one for ya . Do you Think packs of sealed Coles builder packs are a good investment as a lot of people are chasing that $80 au or so mew / Mewtwo rare . I went and bought a lot of marketplace to hold long term
I've seen them in Coles but I haven't done much research into them 🤔
Great insight and advice
Glad it was helpful!
Nice 151 addition to the display ;)
Thanks mate!
The difference is the everyone takes REALLY good care of their cards now
Definitely, straight to grading if it looks 10 worthy!
Always buy 4 boxes per booster box.
One for my collection
One for resale
Two for opening with joy
Good plan bro!
Great content as always. I hope people listen.
I appreciate that!
Yesss new video!
Legend!
Oz the fusion strike price is crazy!!!
It's starting to go up here!
I always sell pokemon lots and add bonus cards to get my feedback up. I make no profit but I am doing it for feedback for 5-10 years later when I sell my heavy hitters like umbreon vmax alt arts and giratinas.
Great idea mate 👌
Nice video mate. Great info.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love fusion strike so much as a set
Same here, one of my all time favourites!
I have nearly 3000 feedback on eBay I have learned to take the average of the last 5 sold of that item.
Nice mate, good job!
Hey mate I sent you an email would love a reply lad!! You’re a legend honestly!! You’ve been around for a while and appreciate all the knowledge you’ve made the journey of returning so much easier thank you mate truely ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Hey legend, did I get back to you via email? Because I don't have a fresh email in my inbox. Thanks heaps man!
Please explain dragonball ccg
I've done a video on it if you search for it man 👌
everyone it’s gonna be so hard not to collect tons of booster boxes and then look at them for years and one day open all of them and then scream at yourself after and rage and go crazy after opening them 😢 that’s what i’m scared of
I've definitely learnt that the hard way over the years! 😅
I agree I have no exit strategy , I am a collector first . A lot of people here like to flip for 10 bucks 😂
Got to hold!
What’s up gang
Hey legend!
i opened 10-12 20th anniversary break boxes, 15 best of XY booster boxes 16 eevee heroes booster boxes... I hate myself, haahaha.... oh and like 25 boxes of gx all stars..... was chasing a god pack max I paid was 200 aud per box, but still...
Happens to the best of us bro!
Well that's weird. We have almost exactly the same time on eBay and amount of feedback. 😂
Haha what a coincidence man!
I sold my moonbreon psa 10 for $1030 because of my ebay reviews. I also always add extra cards in my sales ($10 of cool cards) too.
Awesome work man!
That's pretty average isn't it? I just hopped on ebay and saw a moonbreaon at auction with four days left for $1000
First 🎉

This is some basic bi*ch stuff but I got a fusion strike booster box just too sit on got like 5 years just too see what it goes up too, also bought one too open just for fun.
Nice work mate!
@@pokeoz91 I was gonna buy a few shiny treasures booster box’s also there only 35pound, no clue what that is in your money but seems okay too me too keep a few years

Honestly, I don't understand why nobody is just selling singles for half a year and then taking that cash and going through a distributor to make a business out of it and really start making money.
I always try to keep some singles ticking along!
