I knew we'd break Paypal :-)

Philip Chiu

You are amazing, Rudy! I Hope to get some boxes of the standard Ikoria when you get that in.

Chris Tam

I didn't realize that when everyone was talking about the crash of 2020, they were all foreseeing Rudy crashing PayPal.

Edwin

Bless your heart, Rudy. I know I wouldn't be able to buy any boxes right now but even I would have never predicted this outburst of sales coming your way. Either way, if there anyone in the MTG universe who earned these sales, it's you.

Amazing pulls? I wish! My wife is making me keep it sealed! :P

Got my shipping info as well. T.y. Rudy! And hoping everyone gets amazing pulls!

Chris Aronica

Just got my shipping confirmation. Rudy is somehow making this happen everyone! The fearless leader that he is.

Lol Rudy broke Patreon.

We didn't break his account. A red flag was setoff internally at paypal since he gathered half dollars in 5 min. Would be similar if you showed up to a car dealership with 50k cash to buy a car. IRS papers be mandatory

Fasty

Yeah, we broke his account. That was a bit savage.

Rudy, I didn't order, but wanted to thank you for your candidness and being upfront. It can't be fun. Thanks for doing what you do.

Douglas Kettler

Got my confirmation at 6:05. I'm nervous lol.

Joe Baraona

Same here..... transaction time was 06:02:01 too lol

Steven Ramon

Daaaaamn no shipping label email for me :(

Got PayPal confirmation at 6:02 PST hope I was the lucky early bunch

Steven Ramon

Agree. That video is going to be epic.

Greg Scalzo III

would love a post mortem video about this :D

Koda

So, $500k means somewhere around 2400 boxes sold in 6 minutes (or 360 seconds). That's just over a case per second. I know a lot of much larger businesses that have never had a single minute that good in their whole existence. Rudy had 6 of them in a row, and would have had more, except that we bought up like 2-3x his entire inventory in that time.

Andrew Shelansky

This just hit the news Rudy is now the biggest drug dealer in North America lol

Christopher

Lolz yea I saw those too the same dude just kicked the price up after

Gold

Do you notice what also happened? Rudy reset the market. Those 190 listings are gone. All are now above his high price as it is clear people will pay it. Oh the power of the Alpha. Not that I would ever do it, but Rudy could make a killing in a profit share arrangement with some other person with lots of capital. Not me of course.

NOLA0977

I foresee some changes coming in the near future (for the better) regarding this historic blowout.

Mike Mags

That how it goes for any online sale of a limited item in high demand. Online craft beer bottle sales, limited run VGs, collectibles ect ect....

Mike Mags

I thought the same. Rudy mentioned in his ikoria video he wouldn't touch this with our wallets. I was planning to order a case but that floppy taco talked me out of it. I will wait until Mr. DC plummets to put in my collection and hopefully score some 1st print runs after the hype comes down.

Holy monkeys it was that bad!?

Sean Fallon

And btw now this will break PirateShip also LOL, if we asume that Rudy has exact same order from each one quantity will be about 115 shipments if there are more one box order that can reach as much as 1000. Just crazy...

Yoyigo Tintor

Would love to see a video on this too!

Brandon Nolte

Rudy maybe you should make a quick video explaining! This was brutal my alarm sounds 5 minutes before, I open PayPal and Patreon and take me like a minuto to desdice if I want one or two, and one more to make the payment and then I see the sold out and then I see this one!!! Crazyyyyy!!!

Yoyigo Tintor

Ikoria standard boxes will be 79.99 this is fancy collectors. Standard boxes will take time to be sold by Ruby.

Yoyigo Tintor

Solid!!!

Marv Cole

Not that it helps much, but could you write fragile on the collector boxes you ship, last order was so sad how they handled the box :.( ace Ventura style

CallitBreeze

You woulda thought Rudy was selling some sort of Mythic Edition through Hasbro

Don't you mean Haseo

Wow those sold out fast. (I am not complaining, I was not planning to order any). *popcorn*

Greg Elliot

My confirmation from paypal was also delayed by a similar amount of time. Was also checking to see if that was the case for others.

Dustin Marquis

I sent a payment at 9:03 but didn’t get an email confirmation until 10:44... hope mine went thru...

Allen Le

Warning! FOMO levels running at all time high! I'm heading to get my limit of party packs before Taco Hell runs out!!!

Neil Eldridge

No we didn't

Fasty

Thanks for all you do Rudy

It's all good bud.

Gregory Price

I'm not sure whether to send my condolences or congratulations. I think both are in order.

I would think the mans doing something right with half a milli in orders in 5 minute when nearly all retail is knocking on deaths door..

Where did you recieve notice of a shipping label?

Kevin Jones

Let this be a lesson. Sending bitcoin would not have triggered an audit 😉

I ordered a box of Spark and Core 2020 cos for some reason I was thinking the Ikoria's were gonna be 79.99 as well. Hope this didn't make things harder for Rudy lol

Same. Don't eat a refund fee. If I was too late Ill get other boxes. Thanks for the hardwork you are doing to get out these boxes to everyone. Good luck to all the investors / pack openers out there.

I'm super happy that they where a big hit bit I feel bad for Rudy man think about all the work for nearly 3000 boxes to package and ship now a audit from PayPal and on top of all the unhappy patreons he will get from missing 6 minute window or having to be delayed and wait for the order . It sounds like a big pain in the ass and I hope it goes smoothly just hast to be another way to make it easier on him

There has to be a better way to do this . Selling out in six minutes is ridiculous.

Maybe, recession might have different plans

Thanks for the clarity Rudy, appreciate it!

he was way broken before this )

Great, y’all broke Rudy...

I disagree. The video is why I bought 2 instead of 1.

Scott Rogers

Rudy, if my Ikoria order didn't make it in time to be filled don't refund me. I'll take some other case/cases from ya so you don't have to eat the $36 PayPal fee

Holy crap

Philip Aldrich

I hope sometime in the future you are able to find a better way than through paypal. It's such a crappy company.

Awesome thanks

You better make a video about this...

Chad

Rudy is now officially the King of Kardboard!

I second this, this event was incredible!

Bro, Rudy has been posting about this extensively just scroll down a bit on his posts don't blast him it will only slow things down.

Thanks for the transparency Rudy, hope PayPal clears this up quick!

Bro I literally went to take a dump came back it was posted and sold out lol FML

The ikoria collectors boxes are garbage, Rudy even made a video about it, y r u people buying it, I don't get it ?

We broke the taco 🌮!!!

Zach

Damn... I was waiting all day. Had to run outside to mow the lawn in the afternoon and I missed this one. I am not a happy camper

We did it boys and 3.5% women. we broke it

Zac

Well slap my taco with double meat, reinvest into strictly vintage positions and start buying out the market Rudy.

I am definitely in the wrong business. :) I am not envying Rudy the next five days of audit, since that is what I do every day.

Steven M.

You're the best Rudy, keep killin'!

Thomas Burkhart

Just commenting to be part of the history!

Nice link but is concerning that they still selling commander for example. And box is quite cheap to my taste, on my LGS they are selling for 280.

Yoyigo Tintor

Oddly mostly porn rules lol

Well this tells me that the product is VERY popular, knowing wizards and all this crap about the virus they will print it into oblivion in the next months

Considering the price of these that 500k isn't even that big of a deal honestly. Like you could have easily done that with just 500 transactions. If wizards continues to drop product with a high pos this could be a serious problem for you and anyone else who uses paypal to process payments

Well, this is the first time I wasn't able to make it due to an emergency. I guess someone else will get my $$$ now.

Prabal Singh

that is crazy and cool, but sad that I missed out. have fun week Rudy! Stay the course!

Sangmin Lee

That's awesome

Good times...got notification item was sold out. 5 mins later notification sale started 🤣

I know this sucks but I find it funny a circuit breaker was hit.

You think an island only costs 500k? That's an optimistic viewpoint

Daniel Langworthy

Ahh well. Tried for an order of 3 and paypall broke.

Matthew Berndt

So.... I sent you money just now. When will i get my boxes? /s

Robert Sutphin

Auditor: "Boss, what the hell is Ikoria: timmy's death taco?"

DuGiOh

He has made videos in the past about hiring help. He won’t hire anyone he doesn’t implicitly trust with the way his business is because of the huge amount of money and product he controls and goes through. I don’t blame h8m for that one bit. Thanks for all you do for us patrons Rudy.

Us: "You see where those truck tires stop? That's when you left us behind!" Rudy: "No my son-- that is when I carried you."

DuGiOh

1/2 mil in 5mins not bad lol

Basically, Rudy installed a new water heater too, and it broke within 6 minutes. Then the utility commission knocked on his door and wants to know why he has $500k in tacos.

DuGiOh

How did he not see this coming? I dunno man...I guess I’m glad I got what I needed before the sh!t hit the fan...best of luck to all!

This just made my day. You're the man Rudy don't overwork yourself. Stay the course 🤙

Rudy. You need an employee my dude

Mr. Batsquatch

Man, that was crazy and cool at the same time :D

Have fun with the bean counters! It is surprising that the circuit breaker tripped for deposits versus withdrawal must be all the anti terrorist and money laundering rules put in place after 9/11 and regnms rules...

You know Rudy was at home slapping his Taco and bing a message from PayPal of account balance $500,000. This guy blew sour cream all over the greed monster.

Alex

This was his ultimate play. What IF he just pocketed 500k and went to a newly purchased island?

Robert Sutphin

Damnnnnn i totally forgot about it and i come back to see everything sold out and Rudy's paypal got DDOS'ed pretty hard. Good luck Rudy i hope it's a smooth process!

Derek

does this mean rudy can move out of his parent's basement?

WOW we need a video on this!!!

Can we get a Godzilla roar like at the end of the movie. Another chapter in MTG history!

Michael Keith

Wow!!! I hope the audit gets resolved soon. It’s strange how in this case it’s a good problem lol. Keep it up!!

Rudy is the true GOAT. Don’t even care if I get the boxes.

Aaron

Had to replace my water heater today so I missed all the excitement :P

Christopher Walsh

If everyone chipped in 1 dollar to Rudy it would make it so he doesnt lose money in opportunity cost

dustin saunders

my only request is make a video about it.

Steven Clary

This is the most hilarious and amazing thing I've read today.

😮😮😮 Holy shit. That's insane. Congrats to all! Lol

You rock Rudy!

John Moberly

I was just thinking, this will probably happen again for Commander 2020. Poor Rudy. He does this because he loves the game, too, ,and fans of his show. Maybe he will make a tiny profit (or maybe not) but the work he will have to put in to get the boxes out is beyond anything I'd be interested in doing.

Misread. Well future sence

Its sold out.

😂

Same, lol

Matthew Boe

Rudy is the new "Florida Man"!!!!

Scott Pysher

in before commander 2020 breaks paypal again.

Rudy I need 1 box. I'll pm. First time for one of these.

Np, patient patron here

Not bad for a days work. (I know it will be more than that)

@Rudy may be prudent to mention you have another batch coming up. Imagine the rush for c20 lmao

This is the coolest post. Still sad I missed out.

Firecrest

Take your time Rudy no rush

That's wild 😂

F

Haha 😂

Get that taco party pack, sit back and watch those labels print lolz.

Gold

Sorry for busting up your account Rudy, but thanks for the update!

Aaron Paolozzi

So is or was this a record the was just set??

Benjamin Montanez

This will make for an interesting video on the channel. Haha.

That's about 2500 collector boxes...

Yoyigo Tintor

Let us know what happens.

Haha must of been a dumpster fire

History in the making.

Phillip Cross

Not surprising, this set has like 50 playable cards in it...plus godzilla...plus comic book art...plus that stupid death corona meme card. Very popular set and very easy money in the short term and probably big upside in the long term. Hope you get everything sorted out Rudy thanks for all you do :D

lol wooow, so many taco party packs. rudy, just be a carrot for awhile after this amazing achievement. :)

p-a-pi

Good work Rudy! Tough spot and you are the man!

Lol, this is a nice problem to have. 1st world problems.

WINDELL F COOPER

9:00pm EST Rudy sells IKORIA Collector's. 9:05pm EST Rudy buys a 🇮🇹🚘RRARI🚘🇮🇹. 😉👍

Craig C. Britt

Rudy-The-Goat keep up the great work. 2020 the year of circuit breakers.

CallitBreeze

Really? On a new release set?

daaaang. if anyone needed evidence that this set is going to sell like gangbusters despite the economy, there it is. my LGS was already out of pre-orders when i called last weekend too. time to brave the interweb.

sounds more like we got rudy grounded by paypal lmao

The Taco Truck may have broke down, but Rudy will get her going!!! STAY THE COURSE!!!

Wow, we broke Rudy! PayPal thinks you're shady. Well, you are, but in a good way. 🎼

Joseph Mckendry

CIA is investigating what "magic" is code for and why everybody only buys from a crazy haired man who never leaves his home and makes videos in his vault spoutting about tacos and caribbean cruise lines on youtube.

Ya done made too much money and broke paypal

We broke paypal!!!!

Zack Johnson

Thats nuts. Everyone is really excited about ikoria. Rudy have you ever considered hiring help? I lnow you say you do it all alone

Space godzilla for the win bwahahahahahah

Usually yes, but this is an unusual circumstance so who knows

Fasty

Rudy has been watching Ozark, Paypal is onto his laundry

Fasty

Still went more smooth than a Wizard's Timmy Edition release.

Rudy can place another check on his bucket list.

Thanks for all you do Rudy!

lloydray snider

Hey Rudy. For some reason it’s showing alphainvestmentsEBAY@gmail.com on the invoice I know for certain I copied mailto:AlphainvestmentsLLC@gmail.com and used that. I literally just hit paste it’s the last thing I copied directly from your post. If the invoice says that are we okay?

Man i bet rudy could go for 500,000 tacos right about now.....

Mattf

What a great problem to have, lol. Proud of you, Rudy!

We got grounded by Rudy guys. Way to go 🤣

Haha. I was thinking that. That is a lot of money being sent to one Paypal Account

Take the time you need. If anyone can't wait and be patient you don't want them as a patron anyway

XD wow. good luck rudy. sounds like a fun week

Florida Man makes $500,000 selling pretty cardboard in 10 minutes

Cody Moore

Man that's some stay the course shit there

Justin Dotson

Rudy broke PayPal. There must be a video made!

Lol no kidding. I have 6 minutes between you offering the boxes and them being sold out.

We did it guys! We broke Alpha Investments!

New video title: "I exited scammed over 500 patrons for $500,000???!?"

TempestCards

Respect

This is amazing. May the taco be with you

Yeah the patron cutoff has certainly proven to be the correct decision

Gojira

Congrats floppy taco stand! We broke it boys! (Sorry for the headache papa)

Garrett Boldt

Ha... Rudy maybe it’s time to incorporate and start hiring an accountant

Kenneth

Good job and good luck! Lol

NightTimeCollector

Thomas

Tyler

Haha thats nuts. Someone at paypal is gonna be scratching their head over this.

Blasmophet

Hell yeah Rudy!!!! Even if its delayed i have no problem waiting. Ikoria will be historically badass!!! Stay the course!!!!

We broke the Matrix

That is INSANE in an amazing way!! Yeah for sure take your time and just get to it as you can.

Damn, this one goes in the history books for years to come lol

Wow

Jesus Zamora

Awesome! Rudy you have won the PayPal games!

Eric Tracy-Cohen
