I was there for my first ever toy convention when I bumped into this transaction. What I can say is that this guy was a total jerk from start to finish. His approach and mannerism brought my attention from multiple booths away, and this fool was loud, arrogant, and obnoxious. You will see me passing by, time stamp 12:13, with a man-bun, long beard, a black jacket with my left hand holding my book-bag strap with my sloth hanging, looking left to this transaction. Ryan's patience and total respect to this clown amazed me, even though he felt disrespected. Thank you, Ryan, for making my first choice of toy convention experience, well worth it. P.S. this is the soldier you met who just came from his overseas deployment. Thanks for everything. You rock, my dude! 🤘🏻
@bradpoc2791, you're right, my friend. I was at the Toy Federation's Toy Convention last November when I bumped into this bizarre transaction, plus the one who gave Pixel Dan the mint Toxic Crusaders Apocalypse Helicopter.
The irony of his shirt saying “Be Kind”. Dude was overly aggressive, arrogant and just liked hearing himself talk. Didn’t deserve any of your business. Props to you for standing firm! Nice video as always.
The way I see it, it's just business, nothing personal. They're both out there trying to get the most for their dollar. Seller could have closed the door on the buyer at any time if he really wanted to. End of the day they both walked away happy.
that guys name is james and he was arrest for running a tag switching scheme on toys at targets and walmarts and his house was raided pretty sure you can google him.
The guy haggling claiming he wants to do more business doesn’t have a clue about creating serious business relationships. Haggling like that will make you never want to work with someone again, even if they have the money.
I think that dude in the “Be Kind” T-Shirt is the author of “How to Enjoy the smell of your own farts, never win friends, and absolutely not influence people”
As a reseller, you get so many people that come in and low-ball you. They act like they are going outof their to do you a favor buying your stuff. I'll light it ablaze in the street rather than sell to some people. I have it, you want it. I don't need to sell. Be nice and respectful things will usually turn out differently.
"When are you going to get me in the actual store?". Bruh, you're barely tolerable for 5 minutes at the convention. Chased Ryan off quickly, and then tried to arm wrestle other person. "Cause I'll win". Absolute wacko.
I'm not going to lie...One reason I like selling at flea markets is so I can tell "pickers" to go eff off. I'll be glad for someone to make me an offer. As long as it's not insulting, I'll work with them until we get somewhere. But if some picker jerk comes up and tries to buy everything I've got for ten bucks, I get no greater joy than telling them I'm not going to sell them anything for ANY price! Some people just want to get a great deal, whether it be show or a flea market. But some people just want to act like know-it-alls and pretend they're on American Pickers. And I'm mainly there to relieve stress from my real job by telling off scumbags. God help the morons that want to get over on me. I've sold a box full of first edition Pokemon cards to a kid for four bucks just to spite some rich kid who shoved him out of his way. Life is good!
I now regard the Toy Federation with even greater respect in terms of business and management. Even though the customer is always right, that doesn't mean you must give away a sale. Sometimes, walking from the deal is the better option.
This might be my favorite convention video yet. I usually like the horse trading in the shop more, but the negotiations here were really fun to watch. And credit to your camera person and editor for presenting the selling process in a way that was easy to follow.
The last two guys were awesome. Loved how the other guy helped his friend! And you were really generous to him, calm and understanding. Even when you were 'so mad you walked away' you were still nice.
this is very valuable to watch, how to handle hagglers. I could tell youd had enough of that guy. My dad always said never enter a negotiation unless you can walk. "ill just take em home with me"
Toy federation once again showing what a classy guy he is dealing with an obnoxious douche. Tell the guy you’re price and walk away. If he doesn’t like it then take a hike you were more than patient.
He goes to a lot of cons seen him before in other videos, sometime he'll buy a whole booth out, no idea who his clients are, because he drops at least 10k+ at the shows.
This was an awesome episode, showing the negotiations was interesting and entertaining,everyone trippin off dude but there’s people like him in every part of the business,they usually don’t last long… S/o Travis.. dude has really good art skills! And he knew where the missile was right away lol.
That buyer looks just like James Adkins from Murfreesboro Tennessee who was arrested in 2019 for being involved in a toy theft ring. May or may not be him.
I appreciate your patience with the dude with the Warrior Beasts. Its like you had to literally hold his hand and walk him through how you MAKE MONEY in your business. Paying him $200 for a figure so you can hold it for six months and sell it for $200 is not a recipe for financial success lol. It seems like he's not really understanding that? He seems like a good dude, I hope he keeps learning and having fun in the hobby.
I beat my plastic addiction a few years ago. It took getting a few key pieces along the way to realize I ultimately don't do anything with them. I don't resell. I just look at them. But yeah you have to check it off and satisfy the nostalgia craving before you realize it's just plastic.
Why go down to the beach to see the sunset/sunrise when you just look at it? Awareness of why you collect and realistic expectations of the rewards makes all the difference.
He had one chance to buy the deal he wanted you had a possibility of selling to anyone there. Hold firm. He wants them more than you need a massively reduced sale (specifically to someone like that)
Bros already getting 30% off but just wants that ONEEEE more dollar off. Hate those types of ppl. I get haggling but at some point it just becomes GREEDY. Shirt should have said “be annoying”
Big fan and viewer from Canada, not whole lot of conventions like these here makes me wish i was able to be at this one. Would've definitely purchased that Fortress Maximus from you guys no questions asked!
this is so entertaining and some of the best barter content online. most people don't barter this hard, the toy market is different. i don't even collect toys and its entertaining
I appreciated the last guy telling us what he got it for! I definitely wouldn’t have known those were even worth the $3 he paid for them. Would be awesome if you could ask people that after a sale!
We are the last generation to collect 90% of this stuff, after that its worthless. I love seeing people haggling when they are already offered so much money, crazy. I stopped collecting vintage anything over prices and it was the best decision of my life. I feel bad for Toy Federation dealing with these people.
I WISHED I had $2400 to spend Silverhawks. If I did, I wouldn't be squabbling about $100. I've been getting the Super7 figures because I love Silverhawks, but can't afford to replace my vintage collection I had as a kid. Man, I love those vintage figures! Those packages look SO super nice and clean with their monochromatic design. Super7 figures are super nice, too. I'm VERY thankful I can even get those.
Just wanna make sure I know which dude you're referring too. The one that made an economics/potential Republican in the White House comment, right? Do you not like them because they said something you disagree with, or you just feel like they shouldn't have said anything political at a toy show? From my perspective, I wouldn't care rather they dissed Republicans or Democrats, or simply said anything pertaining to politics. Like this is a very informal situation, so why would it matter if someone spoke their mind with making an innocent analogy? If this was just a handful of years ago, you wouldn't have one person commenting on that (maybe a few chuckles here and there); but not this big 'hopping on the bandwagon' with a cognitive dissident mindset to obtain clout type hypnosis.
@@Chalor. can I have some of your millions? My father needs help after his stroke and the Republicans don't believe in free healthcare. My dad was foolish enough to serve this shit hole of a country and got nothing to show for it. The V.A. won't even help.
2300 guy really got under my skin somehow and was hard to watch and you did well to keep it together around him. He is what a cartoon version of an American is as someone from the UK. I had to shower after the video 🤣
There is always be some dink at any kind of meet where people sell stuff. It’s all the other people that make it worth it. The conversations are better than the actual toys in most cases.
To give the satisfaction to those also collect is amazing to find away to complete or another peace to bring closer on their completion....we applaud u seriously 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯💯💯 what a exciting video to us say to our selves "I WISH I HAD THAT N THAT"
I love collecting toys and I like most people in the scene but there are always the few who have no respect for others because they have no humility in themselves.
Here here! I mean I can have a civil discussion about politics or whatever, but that's not the climate of today...so just keep that childlike behavior off of a channel about man children enjoying toys. I'm a man child baby! But no man baby!
Guy was being a jerk. When you're trying to haggle a seller down and you reach a point that the seller isn't budging anymore, you pay what they're asking or you walk away. You don't keep pushing for your price.
Negotiating is about coming to a fair price and establishing a relationship of trust and building a reputation as someone who others want to do business with. Its not about winning or coming out on top or getting a "steal". Way too many guys think it is.
I couldn't hate the guy at 12 minutes in more haggling when he put his hand on dudes shoulder like that trying to take food out of his mouth at 30% OFF! TF dude couldn't be nicer about things.
I would’ve dropped 5 percent off the discount everytime he argued about it with me. He offered the buyer 30% off, argued with the seller well now it’s 25% off and I would’ve kept going down from there.

The First One!!
Love those warrior beasts!
Warrior beasts
Silverhawks..some of my favorite figures growing up. Was never into Joes. Silverhawks,Voltron and Thundercats.
Last one for sure. Both sides were happy

That's how those people are. I'm surprised he didn't try fight him about it.

Guys that haggle like that after getting a discount are same ones that list everything over market and won’t come down a dollar.
that guys name is james and he was arrest for running a tag switching scheme on toys at targets and walmarts and his house was raided pretty sure you can google him.
rofl
This should be pinned
The guy haggling claiming he wants to do more business doesn’t have a clue about creating serious business relationships. Haggling like that will make you never want to work with someone again, even if they have the money.
When TF is willing to drop 20% that shows TF is serious and sincere about doing good business. Asking for more than that is just being a pest.
Nothing like a guy in a "Be Kind" shirt whining that 30% off isn't good enough. Enough refusals of a fair deal and the price starts going back UP.
yeah. 30percent off and crying for more. ultra douchy
That "Be Kind" and "Anti-Asshole" crowd are covert jerks who demand civility...from others.
He was so LGBTQ
'Be Kind' more like 'Be Delusional' :D
the Valhalla Project shirt tells me everything as a veteran myself. that dude sucks.
Love how he wears the be kind shirt and acts like an asshole😂😂
People with a preoccupation of others being kind and not having enough empathy have borderline personality or some other serious pathology.
"BE KIND." lol
You really kept your composure with that guy!
Most people are really cool to deal with but there's always a few that makes the job sometimes difficult. Patience, Patience patience .
That guy trying to nickel and dime on the silverhawks was ANNOYING. What a …
I think that dude in the “Be Kind” T-Shirt is the author of “How to Enjoy the smell of your own farts, never win friends, and absolutely not influence people”
This guy is a prick… bringing politics into toys…..comes off like a jerk…..

Like everyone else already said…that one annoying guy. 🤦♂️ Glad u held firm and didn’t sell to him. Great show. Awesome sales. Thanks for sharing.
As a reseller, you get so many people that come in and low-ball you. They act like they are going outof their to do you a favor buying your stuff.

That was fun to watch. I'm glad you held firm at $2400. I was drooling when the Megatron and Optimus G1's were on the table. Jordan
Bald guy is so annoying 😭😭 he definitely scares girls away then questions why they don’t want him
The last two guys were awesome. Loved how the other guy helped his friend! And you were really generous to him, calm and understanding. Even when you were 'so mad you walked away' you were still nice.
Dude wrote the book on "How to be a Tool for Dummies!"😂
Be kind guy is TOOL
this is very valuable to watch, how to handle hagglers. I could tell youd had enough of that guy. My dad always said never enter a negotiation unless you can walk. "ill just take em home with me"
Obviously someone bought him that tshirt in hope.
I would have charged the arrogant Silverhawks collector double. So arrogant!!!
Guys is famous.... for stealing.
Toy federation once again showing what a classy guy he is dealing with an obnoxious douche. Tell the guy you’re price and walk away. If he doesn’t like it then take a hike you were more than patient.
“I’ve got other things to do.” Loved that.
2400 or walk
Im in a similar business, guys who negotiate like that really only hurt themselves, makes the seller NOT want to be friendly with prices
He goes to a lot of cons seen him before in other videos, sometime he'll buy a whole booth out, no idea who his clients are, because he drops at least 10k+ at the shows.
This was an awesome episode, showing the negotiations was interesting and entertaining,everyone trippin off dude but there’s people like him in every part of the business,they usually don’t last long…
S/o Travis.. dude has really good art skills! And he knew where the missile was right away lol.
Imagine someone giving you 30% off anything, and you still haggle...
Resellers be like that
Depends on how much the price was jacked up before.
That guy was such a clown, I had to fast forward. Tell me you peaked in high school without telling me you peaked in high school
That buyer looks just like James Adkins from Murfreesboro Tennessee who was arrested in 2019 for being involved in a toy theft ring. May or may not be him.
thats def him lol
Looked it up. Yeah, it's him.
@@BoBo-tx9sp - I was racking my brain trying to figure out why this dude looked familiar! Crazy

If I lived near you I’d come work for you for free. So much knowledge to be gained. Great vid.
So Cool, I finally made it in a Toy Federation video, Thanks Ryan! Retro Toy Con was so much fun!
Love this channel! Makes me so nostalgic for my childhood. Brings back so many happy memories of my brother and friends. Love from the UK🇬🇧❤
The funny thing is its all only worth what u are willing to pay for it in the end!
Wouldn't have sold anything to that dude. Bad vibes from him.
Been watching all the episodes , can’t believe I’ve only just discovered you ! This guy seriously knows his toys .
You open with my favorite line that I collect! Kenner Super Powers! My Saturday is complete 😁
That is awesome!
Look up James Adkins Star wars toy theft ... Lol be kind 😂
Really enjoying the convention videos! Another great one, love seeing the variety!
The Gi Joe Bat was my favorite back in 86.
I beat my plastic addiction a few years ago. It took getting a few key pieces along the way to realize I ultimately don't do anything with them. I don't resell. I just look at them. But yeah you have to check it off and satisfy the nostalgia craving before you realize it's just plastic.
It's so hard tho
Why go down to the beach to see the sunset/sunrise when you just look at it? Awareness of why you collect and realistic expectations of the rewards makes all the difference.
Someone forgot to take his medication 😂
Or his next steroid injection.
Dang, I had all those toys now I'm depressed at how valuable they are. That age old story of parents throwing your toys away.
I know that feeling I had so many cool toys growing up and my parents gave them away to nephews and some in the trash.
He had one chance to buy the deal he wanted you had a possibility of selling to anyone there. Hold firm. He wants them more than you need a massively reduced sale (specifically to someone like that)
I always say if you don't have the money to buy something don't expect charity from someone who's giving you a good price already.

Yes it is!
Ryan’s a lot nicer then me I would have said there now $2600…..
That would have been great haha.
Totally loved this one! So much vintage goodness!
You gotta check out the Chinese manufacturer plant worker who kept one of every toy produced from 1981-2001.
do you have a link?
Always great content! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed watching the Warrior Beasts sale and trade
That guy was a sight to see lol made me feel bad for Ryan

I love how patient you are , you can put whatever you want on them ! You are pulling there leg . Keep up the great work love your videos
I feel like you sticking at $2400 was MORE than fair. That dude sucked
im all for deals but dude was asking for 40% off i wouldnt be comfortable asking much more than 20% off
I appreciated the last guy telling us what he got it for! I definitely wouldn’t have known those were even worth the $3 he paid for them. Would be awesome if you could ask people that after a sale!
ROFL 3:02 is the best thing ever, I love it when kids clearly embrace their parents passions as their own

Atleast we got straight teeth
That one guy is what most people think of Americans (ignorant, stupid, pushy, noisy, revolting).

Ive done this before his probably a store owner or owns a business.

There is always be some dink at any kind of meet where people sell stuff. It’s all the other people that make it worth it. The conversations are better than the actual toys in most cases.

I'm a man child baby! But no man baby!
boy i tell you what, that feller was standing right there ready to swoop in i tell ya what.
To be fair he was polite about it. He could see they were flapping and let them know he was a serious buyer if they said no and left them to it.
He shoulda played it cool and let them walk away from the deal.
All of them !!!! So much excitement like a championship fight in Vegas . Fun
The seller is such a passionate cool dude. Great channel great store great content and great merch/toys
Guy was being a jerk. When you're trying to haggle a seller down and you reach a point that the seller isn't budging anymore, you pay what they're asking or you walk away. You don't keep pushing for your price.
$2200 for a pile of $20 plastic pieces made in China
Seems like a fair offer to me.
Negotiating is about coming to a fair price and establishing a relationship of trust and building a reputation as someone who others want to do business with. Its not about winning or coming out on top or getting a "steal". Way too many guys think it is.
