I think you're doing well with your videos and I enjoy spending time watching them. I'm from Denmark. I also watched your other videos, but I'm gonna make like a joined comment here :) So it was very interesting to see how bullish you've been in booster boxes. I've done the same, but I've invested 1/3 of what you have, but my question is. What is your exit strategy? Cause I have struggles with my boxes like I have three evolving skies and I'm considering to sell, but I don't really need the money, so why sell? One thing I'm scared of is that selling in Denmark can be a bit hard and the larger the price become the less people can afford it. So exit strategy, please :) How/Where do you plan to sell your items? I really don't like the idea of eBay since they take a cut, which will bite into my profits. / Rasmus
@@rasmusbertelsen6129 Greeting from Singapore! I will eventually make a video about my overall plan which will include my exit strategy but let me give you a quick summary of my thoughts. 1. I will hold till at least 4-5 years after release because history tells us there’s when you’ll see a big jump in demand (price), if you see earlier, you risk missing out on the big jump, even for sets like surging sparks. 2. I will sell sets that are doing less than around 10-15% gain a year and invest back on new products (at wholesale price) because average sets will gain more than 15% per year after the price jump in 4/5 years. Good new sets will do much better than 20% a year. As for platforms, you can try selling on Instagram, Facebook marketplace, local forum if you want to avoid platform fees. The next best thing is build your own website, create a reputation especially when it comes to selling high priced items. People find it harder to buy expensive items from “stranger”.
@@Poképathfinder Alright, so I'll be looking forward to your next video. I like the point of the 20%, cause there are many sets, so you could get them all or as many as you can and keep the ones that are doing good. My strategy is I search the market in Denmark to find cheap new sets and try to get a position in them. If the set gains some hype or I believe it is too good to fail, then I'll place some preorders, like I've done now on Prismatic Evolutions and 151 (Blooming Waters). This strategy did make me miss Surging Sparks, and I for one believe it's a really uninteresting Pikachu, the mail chase card, and only find the Milotic nice. The rest to me is a doll set. Journey together so far looks like the worst set i've seen in a long time, only what Meowth and that dog with the sword in it to carry a whole set? Or atleast people are already preordering with only that infomation. Insane to me. I think, Like Rudy points out. We need a correction in the market, but it seems very very strong right now. I can't get myself to sell my Fusion, Evolving and Lost Origin positions, but I whish I could, cause I do believe we need a correction! Sorry for the rant, thanks for listening :D Let me hear your thoughts!
@ if you have access to good price at release like what they have in the US, it is OK to get a little of everything and buy more of the good ones after observing it for a few months. Average set will return around 15% after 4-5 years after the price jump but the “worst” set will take much longer. The problem I have is that I can’t get booster boxes in the USD90+ range so I need to be more strategic in what I buy. Unfortunately, we can’t predict accurately how most sets will do unless it’s obvious like Prismatic Evolution (eevelution and master ball, just take my money) or Surging Sparks with good looking cards and Pikachu. What’s the price point in Denmark for new sets?
@@Poképathfinder In Denmark prelease on a booster box is usually around 155 USD, with the current high dollar valuation. Normally it's 160 USD, I'd say. I only buy boxes around 110 USD from private people, so the hustle way. Only when the set is really good I'd get it on prerelease. My strategy is working well, but man did I wish I lived in a country with a Pokemon Center!
@ you’re not missing much. Pokémon center in Singapore is totally out of PC ETB. Booster box is at USD 180. The Pokemon Centers at UK and US are much better.
