While the ROI looks nice on paper, the reality is when he begins selling this stuff, shipping, fee's, and taxes are going to eat a large portion of that ROI as it stands now. In 10 years that may be different, but I feel it's worth mentioning for anyone just getting into this stuff.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comment! I wrote and read my following reply and it reads pretty attacking. That's not my intention, I'm just trying to tell things from my point of view as honestly as possible. Appreciate you being here and commenting, truly!
The ROI is calculated based on the lowest price on Cardmarket at the moment of filming. Shipping is not included in those prices, so the only extra fee that's not included is the 4,5-5% fee Cardmarket takes. I should have included that in the potential sales price. Taxes are a part of life and any investment so I don't really know how that is relevant. The illiquidity of the product is obviously the main negative thing but if you take that into account from the start and understand that you can't sell everything in a day/month it's fine. The ROI is outrageous compared to any "real" world investment and most definitely is not sustainable in the long run. That being said the returns for Pokemon sealed product post 2020 boom have been extremely high (all extra fees included) and if I only read your message I would think they were only meh. I understand that you're trying to maybe look out for viewers who get exited seeing these returns but the actual risk that is involved is the eventual market correction (crash/slowly declining returns) and not the current returns (which are, for the time being, great).
Great vid! Learned a lot
I loled at the stand up bit😅
good job mate ~~~
Don’t give up like most people, it’s so sad to see lol
If you wait years you do well. Just dont have paper hands
Nice video and congrats on the gains! I'm wondering how you got some of the products that low. I recall around September~November getting Silver Tempest 125 local cuz shipping from CardMarket wasn't worth it and would go over, Lost origin 130~135 not shipped. Were these local deals? Mew UPC 105? daaamn :O
Maybe i didn't notice a dip in the market after i bought but doesn't hurt to ask ^^
I was actively looking for the best deals. I also bought quite a lot of product per order to get the shipping costs per product as low as possible. Lost origin were cases from kelz0r and almost everything else from games island. They have free shipping for orders over 500€ at their site and also the best prices most of the time.
@@SayerTCG awesome thanks!
Great content and ROI. Have you considered japanese sets? esp now that you can pretty much get them at MSRP, and long term return is 3x-10x greater in japanese side.
I'm not a huge fan of adding an extra middleman into my investments. I've bought some Japanese cards but I don't really enjoy the concept of fully predetermined pull rates. So because of that I don't really feel the need to invest in them. There's plenty of opportunities in English cards so I choose the products I can get more directly and enjoy more in general.
@@SayerTCG fair statement. but if talking fully about ROI, Japanese really makes every nuance worth it.
I'm not too familiar with the Japanese market but wasn't there pretty much a boom in 2022/2023 that kind of dwindled down? I would not expect future sets that are readily available across the globe have the same kind of growth as those that weren't. I could obviously be wrong. But hope everything goes well for you!
@@SayerTCG Yes there definitely is. It's just a market correction. but once Japan's recession corrects and Yen-Dollar corrects within a year or more, Potential gains is so insane. I just have so much faith in the original creator of Pokemon TCG. thanks. Hope it goes well too.
Great roi + sexy music 😂
Your voice is sometimes weird when u are zooming in on the investment itself
Yeah, its just a problem with my mic. I'll probably rerecord and edit those kind of bits in future videos and also get a decent mic at some point.
@@SayerTCG good video!
Is that at the end financial advice????
Nice to see a fellow European!
Ofcourse, sell everything you have and put it all on cardboard! 😅 Nice to have you here!
i have some awful news for you, that evolving skies booster box is unfourtnley fake, the poke balls are much smaller and theres more of them. all the other booster boxes you have look legit, suprised no one caught this. sorry.
Mine looks the same and I got it from the Pokémon center. It’s real
Yeah, I'm pretty much 100% sure it's real. The ball size lines up pretty much perfectly for example with the pics on dacardworld.com for chilling reign and evolving skies booster boxes ( www.dacardworld.com/gaming/pokemon-sword-and-shield-chilling-reign-booster-box & www.dacardworld.com/gaming/pokemon-sword-and-shield-evolving-skies-booster-box ). The balls look smaller on the front side than the back because the plastic isn't as tight on the front and plastic has a habit to stretch. I would advise you to be more careful in the future with commenting stuff like this, someone might actually believe you.
So you hoard then sell overpriced
Nah man, I sell at market price. I buy a few booster boxes when they're readily available. Then when the market price is higher years later, I sell them. Are you telling me you want less competition and higher prices for older products?
