I guess you're glad the set booster allocation was halved?

I was thinking that when I went back to previous videos! So the $160k you spent, did that take into account the halving of set booster allocation? Wishing you the best with this situation, like the attitude of getting down, rolling up your sleeves and working to fix this

Hey buddy, let me please remind you that burning the candle at both ends, losing sleep, and stress will eventually take a long-term toll on your health. Right now you are a young guy but long term you will have to find ways to mitigate these issuesSo that you don’t burn out with a bunch of health problems by the time you’re 50. Your positive attitude will help you a lot. I wish you the best of luck.

The person you are going to be, after crawling out of the hole you have fallen, is worth every step!
Sucks to hear people were taking joy in your suffering, hope you dig out sooner than later. I know the pain as a fellow traveler in the space that owns a store that deals in product such as this.
I also went quite hard on CMM product, cracked 250+ cbbs and have sold nearly 40k in singles on tcgplayer since monday. It's not too hard to get out of this hole because the singles are still really good and people want them.

Luckily for the store owners the prices are going back up quick thanks to low supply and high demand. A bit unfortunate for us players but you guys really need it right now clearly, sorry the set was such a bust for you guys.
Based on Rudy’s last Commander Masters vid, my guess is that he saw your video too.
I've purchased from you before from shop pay and you did a great job getting my products to me!

Awesome!! And thanks!
Love the honesty and showing everyone the hurdles of a LGS, look forward to future videos on the evolution of commander masters. I know youll crush it and continue scaling the business.
Thank for the honesty, that is the reason I watch you're channel
Love seeing more videos from you. There’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll be fine long-term. Not listing the singles right away was a very smart move and with how much prices have risen since Friday/Saturday, you’ve certainly saved yourself a ton of money by choosing to hold off
Love this channel, teaches me about some of the backend my local LGS's have to deal with. Thanks!

Liking the positive attitude and after that last video, i started watching your older cardshop start up videos. Cool to see the back end cost and all.
Good luck man. Stay positive.
Feel for you brother! Things will get better!! Keep your spirits up!
I love this, please make this a series! Journey to breaking even with the set.
Hey bro. I think the market has this set wrong. I think it is going to sell slowly and be successful in the end. But this is what happens when they have 2 high priced sets release right after each other. The normal everyday people that bought into lord of the rings haven’t had their wallet padded again yet. I think set boosters are the way to go in the end. When the singles in the set recover. Which they will over next few weeks. I think wizards only mistake here is releasing 2 premium sets back to back. I realize you work on percentages just like the rest of us. I’d almost lean into other games. Lord of the rings drained the average consumer of mtg. They haven’t recovered enough to drop the kind of money wizards wants for this product.
Its still amazing the fiends have money to buy the product after LOTR.
Love seeing the redemption! Keep the series going into tomorrow for sure! Would be interesting to see how day 3 goes, especially knowing you had so many sales within 1 hour with that .99 shipping
Love the channel and just ordered the new pokemon set from you site to show support.
Hey continue your passion, love your videos and as I am a vendor myself I love your input into the business. Keep going.

Rob, we run on demands for CMM. Only need a 4 man pod. You should be at a break even with our structure of $50 a draft. 3 packs to winner of pod, pitty pack for everyone else.

Question. How much will the Jack Atlas crimson king structure deck cost.
Could you imagine if this was a premium set instead of a non premium set?
Feel you on the year+ thing. Wanna swap CMM for Streets collectors? 😂

Silly question. How do you stay profitable at 99 cent shipping? I'm worried about sending product machinable. So I've been sending non machineable at 1.06...add in the top loader, sleeves tape and envelope and in at roughly a 1.42...any tips would be greatly appreciated lol
Im sorry that your going through this! This may be a stupid question but could you not send excess product back to distributors?
I only buy .99 cent shipping cause the cards on direct are way more expensive
A year plus? Holy shit
you should start a second channel just to do box openings
Can you juat break the boxes and sell on tcg to at least break even? Or not worth the risk?
@rng-gamez

We already opened everything looking to be break even if I’m crafty and the prices stabilize
Unfortunately wotc have booted ALOT of its customers away from its products because of its greedy horrible choices. Will they learn? Who knows. Sad as shite though. I love mtg but I refuse to buy boxes anymore and it sucks. Thankfully sorcery contested realm is a thing!!! God bless and good luck friend

I feel like if you're doing "local" you really need to make people want to come to the store and sell drinks and snacks as a side hustle and generally things that provide additional revenue. From personal experience I will be humming and hawing over paying 2 bucks for this or that card but then don't blink an eye for "overpaying" on a drink or snack or eating out.

Really terrible how WOTC treats retail stores. Jacks up the price they have to pay on sealed product and then basically competes with them directly on amazon.

Glad you could survive the financial loss. It's Hasbro's fault for not having MSRP and for undercutting you guys by selling on Amazon directly and fire-selling products below distributor costs. They steal money from you with bad sets. LSG's deserve a reasonable profit margin on the products they sell. Chris Cox and management at Hasbro need to go. The 30th Anniv boycott didn't last long enough for them to get the message.
I still got no clue why you dug such a deep pit for yourself lol was there even a tiny chance this was gonna pay off? Selling bulk with 99c shipping is definitely profitable with an employee, especially with the level of inventory you have. Even with free over $5 shipping, it would still be profitable, but the workload might end up being too high for one person. At my peak I was doing like 150 orders a day by hand and I only had maybe 10k inventory, you have 300k...it won't be perfectly 1 to 1, but I'm sure you'd still do at least 2-400 easily
