I used to be able to see video thumbnails but it's not showing up for me, it's just a link. Weird

Some videos embed fine for me in the android app:



I think it's up to HOW it's linked (format of the link, so that SA adds tags or not) if it'll embed for everybody or not.

I mean, it seems the video that started this entire thing is an attempt to scam people into selling their duals low.

Lmao, that is definitely an opinion op. Tcgplayer is showing certain duals (hell it might be all of them) have been on a trend downward for the last year. Rudy saying that they are going to continue to fall and you seeing that as an "attempted scam" might be a bit silly.

He doesn't scam as much as grifts, and I think there is a real distinction there. His grift is patreon and people seeing that as a "deal". Much like the professor, his youtbue feeds his patreon. Rudy's revenue stream is people staying subbed to patreon, him selling those subs sealed stuff at a profit, the small amount of youtube money, and also people selling him old cards at a content creator discount.

the video is about buylist prices dropping not the actual tcgplayer market prices. that's it. people are dumping their duals and the sites with buylists are lowering their prices because people are apparently desperate enough to sell it because they think those 30th anniversary edition duals will tank revised dual prices.

or at least that's what he asserts.

no. the video is about the drop in buylist prices.

1. mark rosewater lied about reserve list being printed, his blog said they wouldn't even print it in a non-legal format.
2. lots of angry people have been selling their revised dual lands to cardkingdom. so much so that they've lowered their buylist price 50-60%
3. starcity games has not lowered their buylist price so if you're looking to sell, look at starcity, not cardkingdom.
4. love it or hate it, 30th anniversary cards is going to make wizards a lot of money. guesses that every $950 per $1000 will be pure profit for wizards.
5. based on #4, rudy thinks they're just going to do the same with 4 horsemen sets

i don't know who named it that but it certainly wasn't that dude using the name for a kickstarter to use cards only from that set.

How the gently caress did they spend appox. 80 cents per card? Are they made of gold? They're just normal cards but they cost like fifty times more for pure greed reasons.

Huh? There are more costs than just the materials. Printing, development, shipping, advertising, preemptive legal vetting. A lot of these are fixed costs so the limited nature of the run means the per card price will be more heavily impacted.

You could be right and the actual profit margin is even higher than 95 percent, but 95 percent is already obscene.
