    dude not gonna lie, even tho i am a grown adult this is a nice reminder how to put things into perspective in what i need to know and do before going to a card convention. And this is really good for anyone knew into the scene so they can go in confidently and wiith a good head on their shoulders in trying to get everything they want or getting the most within their budget. Love the videos man, hope i get to purchase from you some day at a con

    Dude this is incredibly helpful and such a relevant video. As someone just coming back into tcg’s after like a 15 year hiatus, I went to a con a few months ago and was completely overwhelmed with all of the different vendors and variety of cards themselves. I was constantly stepping aside to check the value on cards to not overspend and was so intimidated. This kind of video reminds me of why CZcams rocks with connecting people with content that answers questions we didn’t even know we had. Thanks alot man!

    i went to my first show(mid-atlantic sports card show) last weekend with the goal to only buy. it was fun but i really need to pay the extra $8 and go early next time, not so much for the deals but because the place was PACKED. there were only 8 tables of pokemon but each one had a crowd the whole time. the weather was bad, raining and hot, so the place felt like a very smelly sauna by noon. did manage to drop $4k on BBs and slabs i wanted, and looking at market prices with tax and all i got well over $5k of value, so its 100% worth it to go. got a case of fusion strike for 1300!

Havent collected since i was a kid, my son has done it the past couple years but the 151 series pulled me back in. I decided im only doing psa cards and i just got my first one its a marill holo from the japanese southern islands set in a 9.

    I just wanted to say your channel is amazing
    I was born in 1991 and we obviously did not know that Pokémon as kids was gonna blow up like it did
    Now I am getting back into the hobby, is collecting cards and videos like these help me out very much
    It makes me feel not left out as a new buyer, and from your other videos, you seem like a fair seller
    I’m not exactly targeting the basic from my childhood, but I want to learn and grow in this community because everyone is a lot more accepting than back then
    To those who read this comment, I wish you nothing but positivity and luck and your card collecting journey

    Hey man. Love your videos! It’s actually the reason why I’m going to go to some local card shows soon. Question as a buyer. I fully understand vendors need to make a profit at these events. What can I expect to negotiate to pay for cards based on what I see for recent eBay sales on PriceCharting? Near the same? A few percent lower because no 13% eBay fees? Just looking for a fair win-win. Thanks!

    • @TheBulbaStore
      @TheBulbaStore  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Depends on the card really. More desirable cards are less likely to get crazy deals. I’d say if you find 10% under market that’s a solid score

    @gekhang Před 5 měsíci

    How do you make money buying at 80% tho? Everyone will always want a cut on it. You buy a card at 200. And it sells for $240-250 all day long. They are going to hit you at 200 right away, you try and negotiate and probably land around $225-230. Then if they want to buy with a credit card, that eats away about $7 already. I noticed when i went to KC collect a con, almost all vendors were stickered really high and wont sell at comps. Only a few were willing to work with you.

    • @TheBulbaStore
      @TheBulbaStore  Před 5 měsíci +1

      I usually only buy at 80% for stuff I’d want or wouldn’t mind keeping. Usually it’s more 70% for smaller things and 75% for larger things. Depends how I’m feeling about the item though really
