The unsung hero of this video is the guy pricing the figures. He did a good job of explaining everything.

I really like that Connor showed that selling them isn’t really a scam. If you’re good and you’re able to get a bunch of figures for 3-5 dollars spent and turn them around for 7-8 profit you can make money. It’s just hard

As someone who collects action figures, I knew they weren't going to make any money going to a reseller. They are never going to give near full price because they need to turn a profit on what they buy. Like Connor said, you could make a profit by selling to other collectors if you're willing to deal with all that comes with doing that.

I always love Kaho's energy. She's the bright and cheerful opposite of the grumpy brit

The reason why you can't sell back as a non-resident is because if you bought something as a tourist you often do not have to pay the 10% tax. it would technically be a form of tax fraud they would be cooperating with if the item does not leave the country.

Only Connor casually returns after 2 months to make money from Japan's crane games, glad he remembered the password

Kaho was legitimately worried she wasn't gonna be able to keep the plushies. So cute :)

35:23 it’s basic pawn shop rules that are pretty global. Basically, the shop needs to keep record of your ID just in case you are selling something that belongs to someone else. If that were to happen, then they can press charges on the thief and give back the item to the rightful owner.

Let’s GOOOO, I absolutely love when Connor films with kaho 🤘🤘

Kaho always makes Connor's videos just that much better.

You know its gonna be a good video when Kaho is in it

The shopkeeper telling the prices was so nice and informative.

You know there's such a thing as being a "Crane Addict." We will now refer to that addiction as the "CDawg Syndrome."

Kaho telling Connor how to _sumimasen_ with the app was surprisingly benevolent of her! I guess she felt guilty for torturing the Welshman the last 10 times they hung out together.

Can I just say I love the cameramen on this video? Their commentary and reactions are so fun!

33:59 had the same energy as “Mum, can I please have another dollar?” Especially with the whole “The duck looks so cool, I just gotta get him!” Part before it as well. Very wholesome exchange, could really see Connor’s inner 7 year old at Chuck E Cheese sneak out to play❤️😂

The crane game episodes have become my favourite CDawg videos.

I would love a video where Connor has a budget and has to eat out of crane games for a week.

It always warms my heart to see how sweet Kaho is. "I need more money Kaho" "It's okay. You don't have to ask"

I think the favorite part for me was seeing the dread on connors face when he realized he was absolutely not making money

Not gonna lie, that guy explaining and pricing the winnings was the most interesting part. Idk why but that guy can tell me anything and I'd buy it. Kinda learned something from monke channel, who would've thought?

Connor, please make this a challenge with your crane game series. I wanna see if your guests could make more money from crane game than you.

I don't know why but watching Connor descend into a sort of gambling addiction is next favourite content after watching him get lost into sunk-cost fallacy time soak ragebait games.

I wasn’t really seeing many comments about this, but I’m really impressed by how much the audio quality improved, it’s really soft especially compared to his other crane game vids, great job Conner!!

I love how Kaho basically is Connor's bro at this point. She's a strange mixtures of a drinking buddy and the cutest person ever. The fact that I was introduced to her under.... different circumstances... just makes her whole character so intriguing.

I'm not exactly surprised by the prices they got. You also have to keep in mind that the store needs to make a profit, so you're not going to get the same prices you see the store sell their figures for.

I moved to Japan 8 years ago and this was my first job when I came here lol you gotta know what the figures are worth though, so being a collector already helped a lot but also being good at the game. I got really well known in my area at the sega and namco bc I would go in daily and win huge bags of stuff and I would win many in 1-2 tries. The sega wasn't really cool about it. The staff would follow me around and peak around machines and watch me etc. They also would use their little mic and then I would see them opening up the machines and mesing with the controls to weaken the claws etc. I would have to rent a locker to put all of the stuff in to not immedietely get spoted and even then eventually they put up signs on all the machines saying 1 prize per machine bc I would legit clean them out bc its so easy lol On the flip side the Namco was great and they used me as free advertising basically. They would announce when I came bc all the staff knew me. They would say on the loud speaker " The american pro has returned " etc and people would follow me around and watch and always tell me how hard it was and i'm like Idk about that I find it easy lol Some people would ask for help or I would even watch people and give them tips on how to get the item in 1-2 tries etc. each machine has different tricks but you get really used to it after awhile. Some places are scams tho. So I would just do 1 coin to test the claw strength and in lots of cases it was fine and I would even get the item on the first try but if it was weak I would move to another machine or shop if need be when you are winning figures, roombas, towels, games, gaming systems, ipods , plushies etc it add up especially when you are winning them for very little money. Even just the figures alone. In about a month I had a room in the apartment stacked to the point of where you could barely walk in the door and if you kjnow which figures to go after they sell for good money. Especially if you sell to people in the US. Of course there is a lot of basic figs that are worth nothing. Just gotta know which ones to go after / what sells for what. I would also have a limit of how many times I would try for something based on how much I knew I could sell it for.

I recently caught a stream where Kaho was showing char around her apartment. She had enough pieces Dragon Quest, Quintessential Quintuplets, and Pokemon merch that it was easy to tell what prizes here she wanted to keep ahead of time.

I love how kind the staff are. Like literally giving you the item. That's good business! These types of videos are always fun to watch and makes me want to go hunt down some of teh prizes you got

the real profit was the ad revenue we made along the way

Honestly, with what Connor talks about with prize figures being cheaper in Japan, I’ve turned from US resellers, to using proxy services for like Mercari Japan. Even with international shipping, it’s saved me money.

Kaho is so ctue. Her surprise when she wins is adorable.

Thanks for all the content, Connor. It's also such a joy when you collaborate with Kaho! Thanks also to crew and editors!

It'd be awesome to see a crane game tournament where you have many content creators competing with each other. Every round you vote for the one who got the best prices in your opinion and that person moves on to the next round. There could also be some kinds of challenges or somethin similar to spice things up.

Tips for selling crane game figures: Get popular characters Get ones with less stock availability (rarer) Look up which colour variant is more popular Dont damage boxes and dont get ones without box Q-posket sell for less Tbh as a figure collector I could guess a lot of these (q-poskets arent that popular, box damage, etc) just from experience

Having Chris as a cameraman is not a feat that's easy to achieve

Kaho and mouse must really get along for their infinite love of cinnamon roll plushies I want a stream of them just talking about Sanrio characters and cinnamon roll.❤😊❤

The woman helping them win the prizes deserves a raise

I love how in every video that isn't Connor centric, Kaho is the older sister of mass torture. And in every video that is, she is the small child asking if she can have the plushies she just found.

I think if they instead sold the items on eBay International, they could have actually made a lot of money considering that they sell at much higher prices and are rarer outside of Japan and China.

Anyone notice the couple trying not to obstruct the camera at 00:53? That was so considerate of them!

This was such a fun episode to watch! I recently found your channel and have been binging all the crane game stuff in preparation for my trip to Japan in February! Thank you for all the fun and the tips too! I hope you try this again and make a ton of money next time!

I need someone in my life like Connors Camera Man. Dude is forever just bringing the positivity and trying to keep Connors spirits up. Real bro right there.

I love when you film w Kaho!! Your crane game videos go way back for me and I love watching them

You know you’re in for a fun ride when Kaho joins Connor for a bit of tomfoolery, lol.

Kaho is always so positive, I love her for it

I could be mistaken, but these shops also exist at Pachinko Parlors to avoid some gambling laws: ball-bearings for plushies for back-shop cash. If our heroes didn't travel far from the UFO center, the values would be a little less than if they went to a distant collector shop, or if they used an online collector marketplace perhaps. Still, price is fair enough!

Great to have you back! Hope there's no more sponsor problems.

this was such a fun video to watch. Kaho keeping the snorlax made me so happy. she's so fun to watch in these videos and seeing them interact is so much fun -- bubbly kaho and snarky connor.

A nice mix of informing and hilarious. Brilliant editing. I already had a general expectation of how it'd go from playing crane games online and looking at their resell value here, but it was interesting to hear how their shop calculated values.

I love these crane game videos, they're always so fun with the great editing

Kaho and Connor is always a welcomed sight in my notifications.

No kidding I love seeing Connor n Kaho together, I could watch them not talking for 10 mins straight.

This is such a fun concept! Would love to see it again!

Thank goodness you're back for Crane Game vids! Miss it so much

Awww I loved Kaho’s little “can I keep some 🥹?” Like yes qween take them all 😭💗!

So the lesson is: making Japanese claw game prize winning a legitimate, profitable side-hustle *_REQUIRES_* selling and shipping them to other countries!

Kaho is such a sweetheart and always a delight when you do these videos together, I hope you can keep doing fun stuff together in the future 😊

Great video Connor, cool seeing you and Kaho again

"Put the box in a good position and you get sumimasen'd a lot Teach someone to properly grab it and you feed a whole village" or something like that

“I’m sorry Kaho, I need more money,” said the gambling addict husband.

thanks man for upload

Seeing Kaho go up against the Palm of Judgement, I realize that its totally possible that they up the difficulty when a machine is cleaned out or stock gets low.

You know the video gonna be unhinged when Kaho is in it, absolutely love this duo

Only gotten into watching Connor like week ago because of the crane game stuff I came by through chance. So its pretty cool to catch an upload the moment its uploaded.

love connor just jamming along to the hand machines music xD, also mudan's editing is always on point

I would love to see more of these! ❤

There is no way he's gonna make money, unless it involves selling cinnamonrolls to mouse 😂

It's always great to see Kaho on the channel.

I think this got potential to be a great series honestly. You should keep this one going Connor. Is pretty good

These past couple months it seems like the edited is just amazing, it's hilarious and literally transforms the videos

The Big Head Kaho edit going HMM with the Ram figure was HILARIOUS 😂😂

Now do an episode where sumimasen is forbidden. I want to see the pain

Love the humour in the editing. Kaho and the door got me

Loved this video.want more of these type of videos

I’m currently in Tokyo, for a vacation, and went to an crane game place the other day. First item I got was a 20 dollar chainsaw man figure for 2 dollars. I was so happy :D

the editing is so good

something about this video has a feel good vibe and exactly what i needed

Look, I’m in the toy community, and some of those plushies go up to ¥50,000 or even more hahaha Charmmy Kitty, Vintage/Vivitix/USJ/Tan Hello Kitties, Sumikkogurashi sets, Maison plushies and a bunch more are expensive as heckkkk

Just realized this is the first time a Crane video without Meilyne at the back of Connor

wow learned alot. nice vid as always connor, love kaho too.

Love the crane game videos as always, but this one was super interesting at the end with how they value the figures. Would love to see another video like this so you and Kaho can apply what you learned from it! 😊

fun fact key master and its alternatives are almost always rigged with drift. for keymaster you can tell when its ready for a payout when the key hits the bottom of the lock instead of the top. unless its the green keyhole (where all the holes are the same size) then those ones are skill based by default (though at least here in the west they kick you out if you win them too much), also watch out for key masters with a notch at the bottom of the key because those are fake keys that will always hit the bottom and never win. the hand one I dont know exactly but im pretty sure it drifts to the right a bit more.

Any video with kaho means a fun time. Connor with the caffeine control 😅

Banger video! 🐉 💪 Hope there will be more videos coming soon!

Is it just me or does Kaho’s cameraman have the best accent?

Connor is clearly the best crane game player, lets ignore the other attemps

I always miss your adventures with Kaho I'd love to see more videos like this and you guys also checking out cool and out of the ordinary places again I really enjoy those videos so much!

I love their unique chemistry, and it was a great video overall! 👏🤣

it's funny how Connor thought he could MAKE money with this in the beginning xD should be more like a "how to loose not as much money as possible" xD

I love the camera man banter, makes it feel more organic

I am as hopelessly addicted to your crane videos as you are addicted to crane games. It's a match made in heaven!

the edits are killing me, i love it

Kaho and Paul is a duo I wouldn't expect but a definitely a welcome one

Hey connor congrats on the 3 mil subs dude, love the content and how your career is going. It's such a trip to remember that you were doing black buttler videos. Anyways congrats!

A Kaho video. Nice! Always fun.🥳

Conor: *Needs to make money and immediately goes for Chrollo* Me: *Excellent choice*

You have to sell them yourself to get back what you paid. The store has to have their margin to make something.

i like how these crane game vids are evolving. its like going to be a new genre of entertainment.
