WOW IMAGINE PAYING YOUR CUSTOMERS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARKET. WHAT A STAND UP GUY. Honestly though you are doing way more than you need to. Building that good reputation,
Sadly it means very little. One time he Fup and people won't care. Just a matter of time.
@ant_989 What do you mean? Do you mean people won't care that he fucked up and even though he is trying to correct things they'll see him in a bad light. Or are you being a hater and saying that even though he is going above and beyond he should be seen in a bad light?
@@ant_989 oh be quiet lol
@@DoctorHazy Real, You sound like a grandma.
@@GayToad1157 You sound like a hard R
Love how genuine you are, doing your best to fulfill orders because you posted them inventory rather than taking the easy way out and cancelling en masse. Bearded dragon looks awesome.
Bro I emailed you... I think I can help you out with the allocation you didn't get for Prismatic.
I'm a simple man. I see PokeNE video, I click.
You should become his gimp
I love your content
my theory is scalpers/investors from sneakers, mtg and nba is now in pokemon
Yeah, sneaker idiots go away. Wear my flip flops😂
It’s factual
That would mean their 5-10k bots
It's not theory, its fact. All the facebook marketplace bafoons in my area are the sneaker goobers and same with the ones causing issues at costco's up here in Canada...
Awesome example for us new and little guys! Sounds like Scottsdale was awesome. Glad yall had fun, man. We missed ya! 2025 is obviously gonna be nuts! This is gonna be the year of the little guy. Haha. You’ve given us all the tips and tricks to help us grow and make it in a responsible manner. Now it’s time to execute. I too, took a bit of TH-cam for the Holiday and I need to get back after it. Adding more sealed product to the site soon. Selling loose packs has been less than slow business so I’m gonna invest a little more into getting the sealed side of things to take off. Thanks for the update, the tidbits of advice in your experience, and the example of how to run an ethical store. We love ya, Brian! Here’s to a 7-8 figure 2025!!
Congrats on the lil bearded bro pickup and good on you for taking time off and setting boundaries within your business. Algo has not forgotten you from my end.
I think your handling of the pre-orders is really exemplary. Best wishes from Germany.
People can’t get prismatic, so they are buying whatever they can…Pokémon is an addiction.
Joking, but that would be my best guess.
Gambling / investing, both classified as addictive
Glad to hear you and your family are doing well. Been watching your videos for a few months now and finally taking the plunge on working on getting my first youtube video made of my small business. My short video I posted a few days ago got a lot more view than I thought it would.
this is the type of business that makes you lead the show. Great job bro. Ill be strictly buying from you for all online orders.
If all business owners had your integrity we could all enjoy this hobby
Its literally madness. I started my online store 2 years ago (that's how i found your content, appreciate you!) and I would have been thrilled to have a couple sales a week as this was just a side hustle. Its now 5-10 orders a day which is crazy! The market is moving sooooo fast. Welcome back Brian and GG's to all the store owners out there. Hope you all are doing well also. 🤙🏼
Based on google trends, interest in the Pokemon TCG is surpassing even the Covid boom. Exciting but equally scary times!
Wow I was waiting two months for someone to finally notice it. I've even started checking r/PokeInvesting daily to see if they realized, but nope, they got no clue. Shows how much effort they put into it 😂
Yeah this guy is clueless saying many LGSes will close. On the contrary, more LGSes and businessess will open this year than ever. But he got this basement dwaller mentality, that his small business is mark of anything.
All you did was hear "they will close" and didn't hear his reasons. Where he is wrong or right is remaining to be seen though.
Man the majority of people that are just now getting into the hobby. Are in it for the money and will probably rip people off
@Jarvik I think I know where you're coming from but a lot of people like me played tcgs growing up and are rediscovering the hobby. Most of the stuff I've bought I want to keep but that could just be me
I cant speak for others but Pokémon pocket has hit me hard and now im buying shit loads of real cards again for the first time since i was a kid.
I bought a booster box of paradox rift and charizard battle league decks
Im guessing theres a lot of new collectors since pokemon tcg pocket on mobile
Kinda lucky I started my online shop a lil slower. We are about a year old, happy with our current progress. All the way up to Stellar, could get as much as needed from my distros and then Surging and Prismatic was nuts. Luckily I did not have to cancel anything for Surging but I learned that I cant do assumed pre-orders anymore and have to wait for final allocation numbers before doing anything. Prismatic I am probably going to be the last store doing pre-orders because of this but no cancels which is nice. Still working my full time career on top of it so the smaller numbers luckily wont kill us/I just do things to order for whatever is available so I will be able to weather this :) Not having a physical shop has its perks.
Bro thanks for your authenticity and transparency. You’re the GOAT. Haven’t bought from you before but will look to buy from you in the future because of how you handle your business.
Welcome back! Glad to see you making videos again. I used to live in Arizona too-it’s such a unique place. Hope your time there treated you well! Looking forward to the new content. 👍
I'm glad you had a good time in PHX man much love from AZ!!
You'll hit the 50k in no time. Enjoying the business content.
Happy New Year Brian & Andrea! I hope you guys have a great time away. 2025 will be nuts for Pokémon. To answer your question (you know already), everyone wants Pokémon and if they can’t get Surging, Prismatic, etc..... they grab anything Pokémon from previous sets.
If I lived in the US, you would definitely have been my go to store long ago. You operate with integrity and transparency and you are such a genuine person. I truly have appreciated your content since getting back into the hobby. Up here in Canada i got wrecked from cancellations from trusted sources. It's very disappointing.
Thank you again for the content and I wish you and the family the best for 2025. God bless!
Great videos dude. More importantly, did you form those biceps by lifting all those booster cases?!
Happy near year bro 🎉🎉
Very nice video legit never bought off you but that's pretty sweet to get them orders out and take a loss for the buyer that's very very rare keep up the work dude 🎉🎉
This is the first video I’ve watched from your channel. You really deserve all the customers that these scalpers are taking advantage of. You’ve definitely earned my business. Times like these really show who’s in it for the long haul and who cares about their customers
This is so odd to say. You watched one video. How do you really know he deserves " all the customers that these scalpers are taking advantage of"?
Congrats on the beardie. I no longer have mine but she was amazing to have around. Good luck keeping the crickets where they're supposed to be 😂
Sounds like you had a great trip. Good to see you back.
Happy New Year Man great to have you back.
Boost boost!!! So happy you took time for yourself B! The dragon is beautiful. So happy you’re back though 😊.
Love the new dragon!!! My buddy growing up had one for several years, thing was massive!! Good to hear your trip was good! Keep it up fella!
Awww, welcome back PokeNE, and welcome back Brian. This was a very good video to watch on your return. =),😁👋🏾
Appreciate the insight to order numbers.
Have fun with the Bearded Dragon!! They are a ton of fun. You need to get him a buddy! Thanks for all you do for the community! Rock on!! 🤘🏻
Welcome back Brian! I normally listen to your amazing content while I’m doing cardio. Reason to stop what I’m doing and pull out the phone: “So I got a dragon..” 😂
Awsome content keep the legit way you working becouse some people they make this hoppy looks like stocks. Prismatic evolution looks so attachable for many collectors and for people that play the tcg game
people involved only for profit this hobby supposed to be for people that love pokemon ❤
Welcome back. It looks like Walmart is getting the lions share of product based on how often I see things come back into stock on their site. You still have to be quick but I've been able to get etbs, poster collections, and binder collections on various days over the past two weeks. They just listed the tech sticker collections which I haven't been able to get but I have a feeling ill be able to snag a few over the next few days. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate your integrity dude. Here’s a comment for your algorithmic god
Cheers to Pokene for always trying to do right by the customers, it’s why I keep buying from you
Welcome Back! Hope you had an amazing trip! Thank you for the great content! Cheers from Denver! 😊👍🏆🥇
I've seen and heard great things about Bearded dragons being friendly and chill. Glad you had a good time with some friends recharging your energies. I was one of those putting in some orders so cheers for packaging it up so fast not everyone buckles down getting it done.
Hey glad to have you back, glad you had a good time!
Always appreciate the honesty! Love your vids bro
Nice work straight forward and great stories 🎊
I just snagged a box of Obsdian for 138. Sheesh this market is crazy. As a 25 year long collector I must say, I love it. Great video fam.
Obsidian is garbage you fool
Excellent video. If I was purchasing from you I would feel safe. Likewise, if I got screwed over from someone else I would buy from you. This is an honorable take and someone who clearly plans to be around for a long time, not just a good time. Major respect gained
I visited my local store this past week. Was chatting to the guy and he told me he normally gets allocated $60,000 for specialty sets and only got $10k for Prismatic. Sounded nervous.
Aye! glad you took time to enjoy the holidays with your fam and friends, well deserved and glad to see you're back!
Hey man welcome back and I’m glad you had an awesome vacation.
Dude glad you had a great break. It’s awesome to have you back tho 🤙🤙🤙
"What's Up" per Brian request 👑
I appreciate both you, Brian, and Danny, for having uploaded/dropping REAL vids, and it just happens to be on the same day, 3rd of January 2025 Friday! 💕
early Early EARLY EARLY Happy Birthday Month (April) Brian! 🎉
the TL;DR of trip was a nice touch.
Kai~talks of baby (not blue eyes, oh wells) white dragon~Ba was sweet.
edit: I messed up, was suppose to say 3rd, at least I had the Friday! 😅
❤just subbed great video bro glad I discovered you
Your honesty and understanding towards the market and community is why I use your site
Everything is insane 😅
Hope you had a great holiday vacation!
Bearded dragons are so cool! I’ve had a couple.
Welcome back Brian!! Glad u had fun! U r such cool guy to honor as much u can to your buyers. Continued success for 2025 and beyond. Nice to have orders waiting and u got back fulfilling the orders! Awesome taking care of your buyers. Keep rocking- always appreciate your intel, perspective and content !!❤ Let’s go to 50K!
I've all but given up on this hobby/dream. Thank you for being a good dude so will try my best.
Welcome back! Really enjoy your content and honesty.
We are getting into reselling and haven’t been able to find any Battle Partners booster boxes for less than $77-$79/loose box or $1,020/case. Is that even competitive? I think MSRP is like ¥5900 or something like that.
I wasn´t even told my allocation yet entirely. Right now it is at 40% for 1 distributor in Germany, so I guess I'm quite lucky in combination with a good account.
What a win. Very glad to have you back. May need a Kai cam for the future lol
I think FOMO is hitting a lot of new and returning collectors. It is crazy to think that 151 didn't do it, but everything else in 2024 got them into the poke craze.
50k! Here we come 🥳🥳
Whats happening with the Pokemon market is distributors are withholding stock giving card stores the bare minimum.
They do this without getting caught by “selling” to 3rd party online/ebay stores that are actually owned by distributors themselves.
Cheers on the lack of preorders until you get allocation. Best practice for sure.
This dudes biceps are poppin in this vid 😂
Yup I pre ordered surging sparks Booster Box and store canceled my orders.. sad but oh well. I haven't gotten any surging sparks til this day..
We are selling Surging Sparks Booster Boxes for $225 (TCGP market price is $240 ish atm). We offer a 10% discount code to first time customers as well. Not MSRP but slightly under market ATM.
@@Poke_Reaperrcrazy. German displays are at 169€ atm
"We sold shrouded fable etbs" was the most surprising one 😂😂
Wow just found this channel. Gotta say, you seem like a solid guy. Will definitely be ordering from you.
Happy new years! I was about to snag Lost Origin BB, Fusion strike BB, and Silver Tempest BB before it spiked up!
People with deep pockets are buying out undervalued under appreciated sets, I’ve seen first hand certain products with fusion strike get sold out with thousands in stock hours before GONEEEE then all of the sudden the packs and booster boxes go from $175 for 36 packs to $270-$450 overnight, it’s wild.
Glad your back and Happy New Year 🎉
We don't know man! Things are just crazy for the sake of it. We're here. And that's about the best explanation I've got. It's absolutely nuts, and there's no one in the world who can fix this lol.
Scottsdale is beautiful. Had a great time on a long weekend I spent there! Did some hiking
Im probably going to japanese cards for the next year or two. The new sets are going to be hard to find, and there will most likely be few reprints of Prismatic Evolution.
Camelback Mtn!!! Going back to Phoenix in April. I go atleast twice a year to visit my daughter. I expect to see lots of videos/pics of your new family member.
So… those prismatic binders I bought from hills yesterday sound like a great buy after hearing this 🤷♂️
pokemon is crazy almost as it was when I was a kid. Its sold out in every store in my area of LA, besides card shops.
Question, are you getting in those N and Lillie collection files for Battle Partners? Everyone on eBay wants wayy to much for pre-order and no one here in Toronto Canada is selling it or can even get it (I've asked 7 stores).
Sup, glad to hear you had a relaxing holiday season man 🤙
Arms looking pretty good man keep it up
Love the Bob Ross like bearded dragon check in. I can’t wait to get more of them in the future.
Thank you for the update. Good for you for treating yourself to a vacation.
I'll be watching for more streams and shopping at your store. Glad to see your back.
I ordered 5 Shiny Treasures, can you make sure a Bubble Mew is in each of them. : )
Looking forward to more content and buying more product from you. Love this guy!
I used to master every set until surging sparks and I was taking a break and everything went crazy. I couldn’t master this even if I wanted. The reason I was able to master every set was all sets were available and prices were reasonable. This is bad and I don’t think I will be back.
Really respect what you’re doing with Prismatic orders. I hate it has happened that way for you though… keep up the great work brother!
People are on the Pokemon hype train! That coupled with sellers taking a break (drop in supply) + people having holiday cash and time (uptick in demand) = a nightmare for wallets :(
Happy New Year Brian! Welcome back!
Maybe you could do singular item pre-orders for more loyal and consistent customers? That way they can stress free buy from you and never have to shop around
Sounded like a fun vacation! Welcome back =)
Thank you. Stand up guy. So much respect.
Happy New Year 🥃
Welcome back! I’m pretty frustrated with the insane hype that is this market. People need to calm down lol
You described the text book case of market manipulation. People pump the prices on TCG Player, people freak the hell out and buy things up like crazy. The holidays were no help and TPC confirmed we're seeing a rotation in the TCG within a couple of months, so everyone that's looking to "invest" is just buying absolutely everything for the sake of it.
Dude got an IRL Sceptile that eats crickets … love it
Love you're information
My guess is it’s the Rip N Shippers.
I’ve never seen so many.
honestly i jsut found you from that dudes video where he interviewed you about the business
Can’t get anything in stores. That’s a big reason.
so what dictates the distributors pricing and quantities? can they just jack stuff up at no warning? Does the greed start with them? SICK dragon btw!!
