Just firing the stream up from 🏴 congrats on getting to where you are, Retro! You’re a grafter and it’ll keep paying off more and more as time goes by. Looking forward to following your journey. Now back to the video!
Great Video!! You definitely have a group of good, honest, and genuine guys who will be 100% real about what is going on, how to deal with it, and what they think people should be doing at a time like this. Also, they don't just preach what they say, they also do what they say and believe in it. We need more of these types of videos!!
everyone has their own Pokemon Journey. i have mostly sold sealed product after 3-4 years of holding. I have made videos on RUclips and Tiktok. my priorities have shifted now, but i still stay up to date on the market and like to see how my “stonks” are performing
Isn’t what Alex said @24:00 the exact thing z&g does? His fees are so much lower than the eb 13% fee in higher end items that it effects the market the same way. Idk why his fees are that low when he has so much room. I remember Dan started doing eBay consignments but ended up leaving probably because he couldn’t compete with James cause he just keeps lowering fees. IMO his fees are way too low and actually hurts the market.
57:00 ish Dan Opinion from a complete nobody: I think the fact that distro is doing that is actually why pokemon has been going so hard on big box stores. Distro is not doing their job, and I think that should be against some sort of rule? It is so weird.
You are 100% correct. You paid a percentage to ebay for the platform to reach a widespread of buyers. But selling to someone of a platform or to a vendor or local shop, they all want a percentage off as well.
Great thought provoking discussion. Unfortunately in my experience I’ve found RUclipsrs that comment that don’t upload content are mostly keyboard bullies. Facts. Really great discussion!
the dude who commented about "never selling on ebay" doesn't consider how he limits his scale if his solution is "drive down and meet me at walmart." How many times a week is that model going to work for someone?
Not only that, but the loss of word of mouth or the lack of a front face to the business. Far less people are going to spread a name if a transaction is done in person
The tins were 15 dollars for 3 packs of evolving, and 2 brilliant. I also got a diffrent varient with 2 evolving, 2 fusion and a chilling. They were highway robbery at 15 bucks. So glad I took the gamble👍
I think people are very optimistic to think booster boxes or any early sv set is getting reprinted. If pokemon isant using every printer for prismatic for the next year they are fools
i get why older boxes would skyrocket in price but why does this need to happen to new products? I hate how pokemon products which should just be on shelves have basically become sneakers. I'm praying things get better as the year goes on, but I'm not hopeful
Around the 30 min mark I don't quite understand why it's a problem for people to use tracker and buy out remaining. That's part of the game and its very smart. It's going to run and itd going to crazy invthe current market. Like why not. Didn't get the ego or looking down at people for being savy
I think you should lean more into your transformation from a Timmy, Retro. It probably makes you the most relatable person in the room to all these new people. Next thumbnail should be "From Timmy to 1.4 Mil" Left side Timmy Turner in a walmart parking lot, right side you driving a forklift with 1000s of booster boxes on a pallet. You're welcome 💅 Also: I know you mentioned you wanted to cover it on cardboard hands, but I dont think you ever got around to answering my question about the value of clout. I asked when you think selling yourself for a lower rate than you would get from Z&G for example is worth doing as a means of building your store. I don't feel entitled to an answer, but think it would be a fascinating video for you to do sometime due to your heavy focus on scaling lately. Just if ever you want something to talk about.
dude I literally screenshotted the first time you posted it and sent it to josh to make a topic out of and we totally spaced haha I am so sorry I will remind him and add it in
Giovanni and Dan are scammers/scalpers and Nomics used to be a scammer and moving into being a businessman and PokeNe is a straight businessman. You can tell all this just by the way they talk during this
Excellent discussion. Thank you.
Heck yea man thanks for getting this panel together
As a sports and Pokemon grader with PSA since 2017 I really respect the style and grind sir! Good for you! All the best 2025 luck!
Channel I’ve never watched assembled the pokemarket avengers. Well played sir
lmao fr fr. when he said "if you've made your way here you definitely know who these people are" I felt very attacked

James sells things on auction for all time highs consistently he’s definitely not pushing the market down
57:00 ish Dan

Dan was definitely scolding the distros that's for sure

❤
i know we're booming bc 4 of you basically agreeing on almost every topic more or less
Evolving Skies is hitting $3k by Summer. You can quote me on it.
The tins were 15 dollars for 3 packs of evolving, and 2 brilliant. I also got a diffrent varient with 2 evolving, 2 fusion and a chilling. They were highway robbery at 15 bucks. So glad I took the gamble👍
Niceeee
Evolving Skies is already at $1200-$1300. $1500 is definitely not too bullish
Great stream

Pokémon’s fault not the people taking advantage of a market

I got two prismatic pc etbs.... 1000 dollars each, who wants them?! Lol
