“My boss is about to raise the price” is code for, “I need to create a sense of urgency so you’ll hurry up and buy before you realize how bad of a deal this is.”

They saw a bunch of shiny stuff and thought it was valuable.

To think the 12 dollar one was more valuable than the 99 dollar one.

That’s what happens when something gets popular and secondhand stores get a hold of that product. They don’t know anything and just assume holographic means valuable

Dude, I have been checking thrift stores for years for Pokémon cards. One time I found a box of fakes. But never again have I seen any more cards. $99 dollars for cards at a thrift store? That’s nuts!

Actually one of the biggest scams was charging $50 dollars for three Celebrations Packs.

Not sure if someone else said this below but what you went to we call, here in the United States, a pawn shop. A thrift store is usually a store where people drop off donations and the store staff sort it for quality and then price it based on their store guidelines. A pawn shop is where people sell their items and the shop then turns around and sells it for an increased price. Pawn shops tend to do due diligence on pricing or, as you found out, price them way higher for tradeable goods. You can get good prices from pawn shops, but rarely do you get good savings. I would never buy cards from a pawn shop for these reasons.

I think you got totally scammed... These were clearly made to draw in people hoping for their biggest random find, but I am pretty sure they were combed through ahead of time. If someone's boss is going to be doubling the price of a pack, that means they have some idea of the value of the cards. So there's no way they didn't already remove any valuable cards and leave behind just a bunch of garbage for unsuspecting onlookers.

What a lesson learned! Just don't go easily believe what you saw on TikTok coz it's not always true what videos you'll find there!

Whoever sold those thought reverse holos were the most rare things on earth … such bad luck

Came back to watching this channel for the past few weeks. I’m 13 and it’s crazy because I watched him so much a few years ago. He’s still the same enthusiastic person.

Hi UnlistedLeaf, your videos are so good to watch, I am starting to be interested in collecting Pokemon Cards so now I will watch your videos a lot more!

"Let's pretend we're not filming" 2 seconds later: "So guys, look at these cards" XDDDD

This wasn’t someone trading in their collection, this was someone trading in their BULK. Sorry to see you get ripped off. Thanks for building the awareness, though!

I also think you will get scammed, definitely with that "double" the price thing xD

Ando, anything in a showcase at a "thrift store" is gonna be marked up and sometimes ridiculously. You gotta look at the rest of the store when it comes to these big box resell shops. Look for the stuff on random shelves and in the baggies hanging off the pegs. Another great option is smaller stores like church thrift shops and such. I know you probably don't need the advice as this is something you probably don't have the time for or need to do but maybe someone reading this can find this useful.

Went through all that effort to seal those cards up, people are taking advantage of others through Pokémon!

I love your videos so much and you are my favourite Pokemon KZfaqr!💖💖💖

Ouch saw you coming mate that’s horrible 99 bucks for what 😂 keep up the awesome vids

Definitely got scammed on that 99dollars one! Should never of brought tgst from cash converter at that price

Hey Ando! Love the video/channel like always! Keep it up stay safe hope you reach 2.5M subscribers and have an amazing night! 😁👍

Whoever packed that is the same guy who hit your car in the parking lot and left without saying anything, and invented the oval shaped carnival basketball hoops

Scams are scary 😳

Good luck.. hope you find something worth while..

That last pack was so bad unfortunately. Not even close to being valued at $99… fun to watch though!

An empty celebrations tin for $30 wtf lmaooo

Expensive bulk is what I call this... you were definitely scammed.

Ouch, that $99 brick should be priced around $10 tops.

Whoa, crazy to find out my man Ando be listening to Macklemore

I wach u almost every day ! :)

hahah it was fun watching last expensive ones :)

I really like ur filming room! :D

Dankpods has ruined me😂 i saw cash converters and instantly yelled "CASHIESSSS!!"

They definitely thought reverses were more rare.

Have any of you seen the Shaymin VStar Alt art? I think it might be the greatest artwork ever on a Pokémon card. I’m not even over exaggerating.

Bro you went to cashies that's on you hahahaha

I bet the guy that wrapped these he is probably laughing 🤣

I can’t believe ando is calling cash converters a thrift store, it’s a pawn shop so everything is overpriced

Very informative video! Thank you 🙏

HEYYY, Cash Converters is the same shop my family owns a branch of in England :3

Holy Aunt Jemima in West Virginia! Sorry you got scammed Ando! was really hoping to see you knock over your chair!! I love your videos!!

Lol! Spewing mate!

This reminds me, probably like 8 or so years ago I found a tin full of gen 3 pokemon cards at a thrift shop and my dad didn't let me get it and I'm still slightly salty at him for that to this day

Unlucky mate

Noooooooooo I need all those regular rare legendarys for my binder and I love your videos so much Keep it up

very nice dear.....very beautiful dear....amazing presentation ..speaks a lot about your passion and hard work..stay blessed and happy forevever....🙋‍♀🙋‍♀

Yeah pretty much how I thought it'd go lmao

Damn that’s sucks but love ur vids keep it up

They thought they were base set!! lol

man that was rough

I've saw that tiktok and I was like THIS HAS TO BE FAKE

When that guy sees your youtube channel lol dude you just got scammed 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cash converters isn't exactly a second hand shop. Its a large company that rips people off for pre used items. A thrift store or charity shop would be independently run where things are cheap. It's a shame this all you have over there is cash converters.

WHAT A MUG 🤣

Poor guy, scammers are everywhere

I always thought thrift stores were similar to charity shops

Great video!

Holy West Virginia what a crazy find

Nice video Ando!

So you basically bought your own Stockx Celebrations pack O.o

Oh man I feel bad for you haha

I really wish those people did more research on Pokemon Cards before selling them for that much

man you get something I will tell my family to sub

Really don’t know what you were expecting dude

Why wasn't Mr. Stanley deployed to open that shrink wrap?! 😮

lol if that happened to me I would turn into a human bomb

Oh no! I hope you are okay...

That sucks sorry to see man , not cool of them

Bro every time u rotated the cards made me mad lol Also you got scammed bad

I dont want to ever go to a thrift shop to buy packs or cards

Hey Ando. Over my birthday im going to he’d to my mall they have this store with a huge display with cards shown in front.

When u don't go to a thrift shop, a thrift shop is a charity shore like vinnies, cash Converters is a pawn store

The full art one

Sadge I was happy to see a good unboxing

They probably thought evolutions was actually vintage base set because they aren't collectors

hey whats up keep up the amazing work

Great video and truthful

Happy Valentine's Day dude

Never ever scene Pokemon cards at thrifts stores in my area.

I saw cards once at my thrift store I wasn't collecting at the time, Yes, I always think what was in em

The thing is that i’ve saw videos claiming that evolutions are $2000 a pack and that some cards (reverses) are worth $100’s each maybe they saw one of those videos.

I highly doubt they are random. You will get all common and some uncommon and of course the pikachu cards from celebrations, everyone pulls those cards lol. there ain't gonna be no zard or blastoise or anything. Those guys at the thrift store seen you comin and they took full advantage. No way for 99 bucks

Cash converters are dodgy though. Suss out Opshots as they wouldn’t price everything at a couple bucks

Nice Video! !

Luckily there weren’t any gi joe packs.

Thought this was gonna be him buying his own celebrations packs

Too good to be true.

Seems Pretty Expensive For Non Sealed Pokemon Card's!

Hey man , I got a arceus V but it’s in Japanese and different from the typical US cards , is it real and could I sell it?

Bro every time u rotated the cards made me mad lol

Good video. No more second hand stuff.

Wow those were horrible man sorry 🤣🤣🤣

The guys at the shop may be basing their idea of valuable cards off of when they were young, I remember me and everyone I knew thought holos were insanely rare

Ouch…

Unlucky 😭

Yeah you got screwed

thats b.s we got the same thrift shop out here.... stay away from that company!

I love reverse holos!!! 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Bro got giga scammed

Cashies is a pain shop lol
