People have been asking why I stopped doing Rocket League content. This is not a brag post, but I thought I'd give some insight on the financial differences between Streaming games (RL) for fun and hoping for Subs/Donations Vs. Streaming for Fun with Actual Products for sale.
@randomletters6_ @jerphisch@jeffthrowcards Just adding, no shop ever made profit at $90 on booster boxes. Standard distro pricing is approx $93.50 before all the fees that come along with it.
I dropped Journey Together at MSRP this morning and my website for the first time got raided by bots. I had to cancel like 70% of my orders due to one bot in particular. Does anyone know the legality of me refunding the bots? Since credit card fees aren’t refunded to me, can I…
Pulled a god pack during prismatic pre-release that at the time was worth a crazy amount based on eBay sales. Prices have dropped a bit, but wanted to post to test out the new X feature 😂
@itspokeminh@PokemonDealsTCG Yeah I guess it ultimately affects them if the stores aren’t selling out because then they won’t order more. But if they stopped making products like combined powers and Paldea adventure chests they’d be okay 😂
@PokemonDealsTCG@itspokeminh So it’s really going to be the online stores and your local stores with the best margin. Don’t pay $90 a box, but also remember that these stores have had atrocious margins this year with a lot of bad sets. With distro BBs being like $95 then selling for $100 sucks (MSRP $161)
@PokemonDealsTCG@itspokeminh My only thought on this is does Pokemon even care about the market for these boxes? They sell to the super distribution centers for the same cost as any other ETBs, and those distro centers (the good ones) are still selling these ETBs for $30 a piece before fees.
