    On the patients thing, even if u find that best deal or price, don't just jump on it. Listen to your gut. I've walked away from good deals and a couple times it turned out it to my benefit. So even good deals u need to walk away from sometimes.

    People sell themselves short for opportunity cost. The idea that if they sell it now they can purchase the next big thing that will go to the moon.I have fallen for said witch craft.😂 Do you have a profit margin in mind where you would feel comfortable selling everything? 20%, double your money, etc? Great video bro🎉

    • @vaporself
      @vaporself  11 місяців тому +2

      Depends on what product it is. I'm not really sure on an exact number but probably at least double (before fees and shipping etc). Thanks!

    Spending $80 more on a case might not having a thing to do with looking for it cheaper. Maybe they really really trust the person they are buying from and know they won't be ripped off. That's worth it to people with all the scammers in pokemon

    • @vaporself
      @vaporself  11 місяців тому +1

      I guess so, but even trustworthy places have them for cheaper. And I guess eBay has good protection for buyers. Some people also probably don’t know of online card shops.

      ​@@vaporselfI'm sure you'll probably touch on this in the video but I think space is a huge limiting factor on those collection boxes. I love them too and wish I could pick them up to hold, but I just don't have the room so I stick to more compact items like booster boxes.

      It had all its gains at the start, RRP of around $50 straight to $150. Everyone waited for it to come down and it did a bit. But sellers were happy to hold.
