Pokemon Cards

Are pokemon cars still all the rage? I think that they are great and I'm going to set up shop on my street corner and sell them with a side of candy. Candy is good. So are pokemon cards. I think it's a good idea.

Where are you located Envoy? It really depends to see if that's afad in your area. It's also easy for someone to think someting is a fad, when it really isn't. I would see if there are any local card shops and ask them if they still sell pokemon cards and how well they sell.

I'm thinking that the internet would be better than selling in a brick and mortar. I don't think you will make much of an income off the cards just selling in a single location, I wouldn't think that you would make much income off them anyway!! You could buy collections off people who want to get rid of them for cheap and sell to an interested group - maybe theres still a fan club on the internet somewhere?

My opinion on the subject, but you might be better off selling the always popular kids items such as water pistols and baloons, or similar items

Here is what you can do. Get a hold of some cards and go out on the streets and see how much you can actually sell. That will give you a realistic view of the market. Be proud of your product and don't try and hide behind a website like many. If you can't do that then it just means the market is not meant for you to be in. Avoid the babes though because you will get no play if they see you with those cards dude! I hope that helps.
