As someone gearing up to start vending at shows, I love seeing the transparency in this! Everything from "oh man we have to rent cases" to "this is what sells and what's not and why". It makes it feel incredibly doable even for an average collector like myself.

that part! it really is doable for most folks, especially if you keep an open mind to feedback and ask a lot of questions. I have been vending for a couple years now and I still learn something new each time. :-)

10:36 as a vendor and having vended myself, the hard part about conventions is not selling, it’s acquiring product to sell later. The huge money is made in getting good deals on inventory 🙌

Just did a show this weekend in Nashville. I did about $1,000 in sales, but picked up $4,000 of new inventory (market value) for $2390. Deals on deals all day from people bringing their stuff up to you.

i’ve done over 20 vending shows and it’s exhausting every time. Takes high organization and energy. Most people the first time are unprepared with all the side things that are helpful to have. After the cost of the table space and taxes profit margins are usually pretty slim. Buying to resale now days in pokemon is not easy and it’s a grind no matter what way you sell. Depending on the show and the turn out it can be worth it if you’re mainly just trying to move the huge inventory, a big pro is no shipping. but trying to travel with high end slabs and buy hotel and rental car etc adds up. also now days many buyers are looking for discounted deals of current low market. every selling avenue has its pros and cons

I'm not sure most people are expecting below market average prices. I think people buying cards in person anywhere, at a shop, convention, etc. would expect to pay a bit more for the convenience and understanding of the vendor trying to not lose all his money lol. At least that has been my experience recently this year.

@@Infamous159 i think it's becoming more prevelant for folks to ask for discount, like "whats the best you can do on this?" and try to negotiate.. most people are cheap and frugile wanting a deal. at the end of the day it's how each vendor prices and works with their customers, it's common in our culture here to haggle a little or have back and fourth to reach agreements, or maybe coin flip lol

Yo it’s John thanks a ton for buying my evolving skies boxes and all those alt arts it was amazing meeting you bro

I’ve watched a decent amount of your videos and I’ve always had the criticism that a lot of your excitement didn’t seem genuine, but you seemed genuinely excited and happy to be at Card Party and that was really cool to see. Nice video + followed 😊

Vending is so fun. First time doing anything is always a bit scary but seems you did well :-) I love interacting with people face to face.

Convention looks so much fun. I guess you can chalk the pricing error mistake down to a learning process.

16:20 - Thank you very much for your kindness! We had a great time with that booster pack!

I love the way you take care of your whole team as well ❤

Have you ever drawn a charizard onto a card again as an autograph? 😂 Thank you for being my next-door vending buddies! Cory was totally awesome! Great video, much love.

Hey Brandon Well Done Mate I'm Super Proud Of You I've Been Following Your Journey From When You Posted Your First Episode Of Pokémon Go And Man You Have Done So Well For Your Self And Inspired Me To Start My Own Channel! Keep Up The Great Work.

Yooo! So fun to see you vending in this events and bringing niche japanese vintage packs, Maybe more japanese vintage packs and modern japanese packs for those who want to experience those.

This is great Brandon. I really enjoyed this video a lot. This video format is great and informative. I appreciate it!

How much do base set unlimited blisters go for typically? I was able to get one

Brandon…need to look into going to the NSCC in Cleveland July 24-28. The biggest convention in the world and a lot of Pokémon not just sports.

Hey that´s me buying the Unified Minds booster box from you @6:17 Thank you for signing it too!

@11:05 leg day was skipped 100 percent

mystic did you meet one of my friends that asked you to sign one of the card party jerseys and a sudowoodo? the card was for me cuz i couldnt make it this year im hoping to go next year

Dude at 2:50 into the video putting his trap in a freaking claw grip lol

Always wondered how the cases worked. You rent them. Of course 😂

Shoutout to Corey. Legendary stuff. 🎉

card shows never supply any card case displays?

Probably walked by ya guys SO many times and being new to meeting so many people, just didnt know lol

That must have been a bit stressful

Any chance you’ll be at the Pasadena convention on 9/7 and 9/8?

13:12 How you rate before and after ?

Nice video mystic :)

Yes Mystic, cash is very cool. Never forget it.

I feel so bad for Corey having to use that price gun, same one I used to use in retail, horrible stuff

If you don't use cash bro, your helping them take it away from us that much easier. Everyone should use cash atleast once a week and make it a habit. Says Catherine Austin Fitz. We can't let this happen. Digital currency=you being told how to spend your money, and goodbye to savings.

Another video about how much money he has and how much of it he is going to spend on Pokémon cards. Yay!

Just gonna throw this out there. Not trying to be a hater but you stated that you sell everything at market value at 22:20, but then at 22:15, most of the alt arts you have listed are way above market??? Where's the transparency in that? I understand that you may be pricing off of multiple sources, but I still find it to be a bit ridiculous, unless people kept low balling you then I understand. Maybe be firm on just actual market price instead of marking up prices to sell at actual market price??? Not trying to be a Karen, but just striving for transparency to build a more transparent hobby when it comes to selling lol.

12:32 the vibes felt off. I don’t think they fw you.

My God....another way to market cardboard.....renting out a spot that is rented.....you people are ruining the game
