  • In this Pokemon cards opening, I reluctantly bought all of the mystery boxes I could find under "Newest Arrivals" on Amazon. Will these new mystery products be any good?

      Or the seller advertises exactly what the contents were the mystery will pictures of the cards in there ie pictures of the slabs raw cards and booster packs. I agree majority are deceptive in what is in the bags/boxes. I am someone that is attempting my mystery bag and the biggest thing I’ve received opinion wise is make sure the value is there ie if you’re selling a bag for 50 make sure value is there most eBay sellers that did them had some horrible odds like 30 dollar bags with a floor of 8 or 12 bucks and a ceiling of 175ish out of a 100 bags 30 of them were equal or greater value the other 70 bags were the bottom value. In my opinion if a risk is being made on a purchase in my opinion the most you should lose out on in a mystery bag is 15-20% meaning you get at least 80% of your money back. Getting less than 30% of your money back will definitely make you not spend anymore with that seller.

    So you say that getting $15 worth of cards from a $45 mystery box is a scam, but you also sell your own mystery packs with 5 boosters for $50…
    *EDIT: 6 boosters for $55
    I don’t have anything against that, it’s a gamble for the buyer and a business for the seller and I’m ok with that, but why trashing other mystery packs while selling the same product?

      No the official packs are truly random with what cards and fair probability of what you get, some third party companies remove the high rarity and cards from their own custom made packs so you literally have no chance of winning.

      @@mng8680 I wouldnt exactly call it fair probability. The probabilities are made to profit. Thats why so many people have so much bulk. And do we really need energies in every pack these days? Everyone has a box full and more. From ETB's etc. I feel that its time that Pokemon can sell those separate and make packs better with some guaranteed hits. Might be a .50 cent card. Might be a 100 card. All in all in the end they still make their money. Just make these damn sets a little easier for the kids to finish collecting. The game in my opinion has gotten away from kids and all around the scammyness of gambling.

  • @ZacharyGalloway
    @ZacharyGalloway 9 месяцев назад +5

    Worst part with Amazon direct they ship Booster boxes, ETB's and UPC's in bags so if you collect sealed the product always has some sort of dents or tearing. 3rd party sellers get away with murder by opening product and barely reseal and ship it to amazon to fulfil. Amazon doesnt bother checking so even after they get caught and someone leaves a negative review amazon removes the negative review and leaves the same generic auto generated response. "This item was fulfilled by Amazon, and we take responsibility for this fulfillment experience". And nothing happens to the seller and it keeps the ratings high.

    Let's be clear. Mystery items are always questionable and could contain anything. Not to justify any of this companies or items but going from packs you sell PokeRev packs for 54.99$ you could get boosters in value of 25$...and going by simple math for higher tiers you are always in plus so it does not make sense for most of the people who buy this product. Everbody who sell this kind of producs are to make money..more or less. You are direct and transparent about the odds so kudos to you, but again it does not make sense for most of people to buy this kind of products.

    I mean that's the point of "mystery". It's basically the same as a lottery. The floor is gonna be super bad, the chase is gonna be super hard to get. And then the average cards are just gonna be meh. It's a way to market products and make money for the business owner. This doesn't even just apply to cards but it applies to many other things like blind box toys, sealed Pokemon TCG packs. I do agree that most of them are kinda "scammy" because the price for it doesn't justify the floor. The better mystery products are ones that the floor isn't too far away. Just remember nothing is too good to be true in life before you buy something. And unless you're willing to gamble and ok with the floor, then don't buy it. Also not everyone reviews products so it's hard to get a completely good idea of the pull rates of these products.
    I do enjoy your videos and the fact that you'd get these and open it so people will have some idea of what's inside them before they buy. Appreciate that.
