I Vended a Pokémon Convention 

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.

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 🙌

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

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

2:30 dude in the corner side eyeing you both 😂😂

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.

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 😊

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

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.

18:33 my stomach and hands 😂 with the belly drumroll

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

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.

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

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

You should do a challenge when you go to a convention with nothing but a table and you have to go buy your whole stock

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.

Good bro!! Awesome experience, keep it up the good work, blessings!

Was great to meet you at Card Party! Keep up the content, and hope the crew liked the Norwegian chocolate -Sivert ☺️

i love your content bro i hope you make it far in youtube!

W for showing how much u made always been curious how much vendors made

At 14:35. My son PokeLucas956 is asleep but he’s gonna flip in the morning when I show him.

Hey our binder made the video!!

13:30 damnnnn dude

Awesome video! Those booster boxes at the end of the video must have cost a pretty penny lol.

Man I’ve always wanted to go to a Pokémon card convention. Maybe this year! 🤞

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

I'll have to watch this one later tonight. Gotta get ready for work now.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 not a bad set up

Kelvin's aerodactyl collection is my dream 15:22

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

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.

@11:05 leg day was skipped 100 percent

Your both was the best!

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

Do you have the Pikachu Poncho Pokémon card box available on your online shop?

Bro this looks so fun❤️❤️❤️

what % do you typically offer when buying collections?

Dude I’m so happy for you

nah I love Cory's sweatshirt. KLMF

this is what it's all about.

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

🎉

That must have been a bit stressful

card shows never supply any card case displays?

Yoooo mystic fammm it’s PokeMook and I was wondering where you got your acrylic cases for the booster packs?! Which ones do you guys use!?

Great location right by the doors!

Awesome show 🔥

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

13:12 How you rate before and after ?

Tom hung over was 😂

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

2:23 dude inna back acting like he never seen a camera lmao. staring like a mf

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

What’s good mystic?!

Nice video mystic :)

islandgrown cameo? Lets goooo

I am the Lyrical Beast. Call me the Microphone Fiend

Lol someone definitely got fired

While still losing money!!

dude said "yea i know what i can sell stuff for so that helps me buy and make a decent margin" meanwhile selling everything for a huge loss.. that sucks man lol

amazing video

it was so hype he lost his voice

Cash is king as they say!

You going to collect-a-con in chicago?

I wish I could get Pokémon but my parents never let me get anything but I really want a a full binder of Pikachu

I can see COOP

Do you have an online store? I haven’t had any Pokémon Cards since Junior High back in the 2000 era.. LOL..

10 min club

Found u!

Lincoln thx for putting me on the video

Cash is digital now (millennial)😂😂😂😂

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.

if u like pokemon you should try pokemon go

If it were 'HIS' own out of pocket money, pretty sure things would be different here for real. You bet? 😂 nah, JK, let the guy flex. we always want to look cool dont we?

Nice

24:24 them singles prices are mad disrespectful to the Pokémon community everything is marked way up

Worst part about first time vending?

Your prices are slightly high for sure

F

W

Sheesh. 4300 for pokemon cards..

1 minute 2 views. Fell off

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

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

second

First

🇭🇺😫

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.

Did see the 17 teen year old

Can’t believe I got to be In a mystic video 🥹I have. Been watching him for so many years crazy experience such an amazing guy. Can’t wait till the next time ❤️
