24 Hour Notice for incoming Sale

I pulled up to Target while they were Re-stocking! They had just put “their only two” ToE collector bundles. They should be replenishing their stock of collectors boosters and 2 “Gift Bundles” just FYI. The employee said every store only gets 2, so I scooped one up for $52 + 9% tax. Not terrible. They had about 12 or so collector blister packs. I bought 2 and ZERO Foil Box Toppers. I picked one from the front and got no extended foil. I went back in and picked from the back, still the same. Not complaining since I did get a “Once Upon A Time” Foil and a “Rankle” Foil with a Kenrith. Extended arts were weak: Outlaws’ Merriment (M) garbage fire and a Faeburrow Elder (R) garbage fire number 2. 😂

ITS 9:00!!!!!!!

30 seconds or so

We need a discord for the poor Timmy's to coordinate.

Do we not even know the items or price yet?

Nobody knows yet

What’s the sale for again?

Michael Tran

What is the sale?

Anybody in VA and want to go halves with me, not sure my wallet can handle the shock...

Waiting I can’t wait to see!

Floppy tacos are worth their weight in gold.

Wish I knew the sale was going to be happening earlier then expected, would have left some room in my monthly budget for it. Tacos are a valid form of currency, right?

Press F to pay respects to all the wallets tonight

Scott Pysher

F5 is my middle name.

scatt

My birthday 😄

yes to all

Francis

That's my fear for sure.

Scott Pysher

Has the reloading already started? Will Patreon go down? Will PayPal survive? And what about our wallets?

What information from PayPal you need to order? Sorry first time.

(Disappointment is my flavor text) all I care about is out of print boxes To decorate my game room for the next 25years!

Thank you Rudy for your videos really kewl insights on the one today. Time vs the Timmy is something people still are surprised about...hopefully some people learn from it so the negativity out there can at least die down.

I'm curious to see what the sale contains. In the video from the first of the month Rudy said if you like summer sets you'll like my black friday sale. I'm looking forward to it and hopefully increasing my position in these boxes.

One more hour boys!

Naw, you could do better than 500 for that on eBay...

Battlebond, Moho and cons! 500$ shipped????

🎵It’s the final count down. Da na na naaaa. Da an na na na....🎶

Hehehehe. What is the environment you see here is my question.

Cheers

Why not? If not done too frequently it is actually good for your health! What you spend your money on matters not.

Get your @$$ there! 😁

Magic only...is almost assuredly.

Yep

Guess we find out what the sale is when it happens. Wonder if it includes those annoying Gift boxes... wait those are on allocation... nvm...

Kevin W. Werges

I did my best to try and lay out the process as I see it. Please let me know if my understanding is incorrect. Thanks again!

James Viola

I come just for the speculation.... NEVER DISSAPOINTED

Ralph Brinton

I'd like to express some concerns about this strategy with respect to PayPal's recent changes to how they refund payments. Under the current process orders are taken in a first come, first served order. If I send payment and then find out you're sold out, I am then not refunded the PayPal fee, so I could potentially lose a lot of money on a "chance" to get a special deal. If this is how it works then I won't even attempt to place an order for a special deal if there's a chance that I will lose money. Am I wrong in my understanding of how PayPal refunds now work? Are patrons at risk of losing PP fees if you are sold out when they place their order and have it refunded? Edit: The "edit" feature is really crappy in Patreon

James Viola

i think he tries to do one every month

People run each other over for toasters on black Friday so, the bar is low

Does Rudy do a special sale in December aswell?

😂

This is a good marketing strategy but I’m pretty sure if people are leaving for the holidays the internet is going to follow them. Just saying we have invented the smart phone it’s crazy what you can do with these things. It would be funny if Rudy had to send us messages on our pagers and we had to call in.

Christopher

I’m assuming this will be crazy. The power of Rudy: 3000+ people stop what you are doing at 9pm on Friday and look at me. He has us trained very well. Wasn’t it Pavlaws dog ring the bell for food and begin salivating. Replace food with cardboard rectangles and we go nuts. I’m sure if Rudy was Walmart people would be getting run over this pre Black Friday sale.

Christopher

It will probably be described in the post. But you can go to his latest first of the month post and read how you order things right now. I’d bet the farm that the payment method in that post will be the way you will have to pay for this special. It’s PayPal. Read the whole post or you might be out 3%.

Christopher

He isn't selling those. He made a video about that

Jason St. Mary

I have subscribed to Rudy, but never bought anything. If his sale is within my sadly small price range, how would I go about paying Rudy?

Jugs of Creepy Guy Used Only Once PSA 8.5 Mouth Wash: $16

You have to wait until he says go. You don't need to post a response, just send a payment, although he might include instructions to leave a certain message with your PayPal payment. Sales are open until he says stop, so make sure patreon is refreshed before you send the payment. This is how it has worked in the past.

Would definitely like to know about the ground rules for this, especially considering the PayPal refund fees... Are we posting before sending payment?

Brandon Nolte

How much is this going to cost, anyone know?

Wow rudy, You sure are selling off a lot of PSA 10 reserve Cards (which you said you would never do). Whats going on? Plus the large amount of insane stuff for sale on ebay?

The sale will be for 57 sets of Arabian Nights. https://www.ebay.com/itm/57-x-Complete-Sets-of-Arabian-Nights-Magic-The-Gathering-Alpha-Investments/163337600286?hash=item2607adfd1e:g:QnoAAOSwLKNb035P

Taco hats i hope

Jake M

I’m military, message sent.

Oh well, I’ll be at the Penguins vs Devils game tossing back a few. Good luck to everyone else! Cheers!

Guys Rudy needs to raise some capital, let us all throw our money at his hairy legs.

Ryan Butcher

what is happening? Is it all over? Have my evolving wilds tanked in price?

Krepsy k

Oh god, I'm scared.

scatt

My guess is you're right on the price, but with conspiracy 1 and 2 and Battlebond

Please let us know the price. Need to check funds before hand.

If it’s not a live panda, what’s the point

What if we work at night Rudy and can't make the special deal. Do we email you or do we miss out on the deal???

Chris Segura

does "date night" count as a unique situation? jk everyone knows MTG players dont have partners ha!

Francis

Guys, I got in at the Early Bird rate ($12k) and I’m happy to tell you that you will get: 1 ABU card (foil), 1 Birds (full Monty), 10 collectors booster from the Dark (not searched, probably) and 100 squirrel tokens (they were piling up). Marriage of old and new. Good luck.

Aaron

worst timing ever, most of us will be at FNM trying to win packs at the same time of the sale, wtf Rudy!!!

Liwen Li

Loose Eldraine Packs + Global Series, $499 bundle calling it now

Reminder set on my calendar!

Its loose throne of eldraine collectors packs! #HypeTrain

Rudy, you're brutal doing this on Friday evening when all these magic freaks would want to be at FNM.

This is the real Thunderdome!

Matthew Gibson

Me: Need a taco hat and reach around too.

Rudy: Box of Worldwake, box of Eventide and box of Stronghold, $695 shipped.

Moder horizons, unstable, battlebond for $450ish

Rudy is selling his mother in law....low mileage but requires some body work 😄

Philip Chiu

Vegas Odds right now are OVER $400 (-450) / UNDER $400 (+350) :-)

Or you could donate your plasma! Donate Media...jk. Don’t do that!

This sale is going to be dirtier then a coal miners loofah, can't wait.

Gonna be out of my budget whatever it is!

I am going with a $695-$895 price point. Cheers to all the Top Ramen eaters for the next 6 months. Take me to pound town baby.

Is this a "I need to sell a Kidney" or "just whack off into a cup" type of special? Asking for a friend! :-)

Well, I guess I won't be going to play FNM then.... alarm set

Maybe he’ll send out uncut sheets to the losers. Lol

Anyone forgetting about PayPals cancellation fee? How is this gonna work?

I’m putting the over/under at $400. Takers? Lol

$1000

Prabal Singh

I'm betting it will be around $1000.

Prabal Singh

Per his post, contact him. Assuming via email or msg

Prabal Singh

Wasn’t last year final fantasy and Pokémon?

Nick Vovk

Hey Rudy i work nights so I'm gonna miss out on the sale if there is any way we can work something out please let me know.

RUDY PLEASE PRICEPOINT

Me: “Hmm, spent a lot this month, probably shouldn’t buy anything else...” Ruby: “hol up”

He hinted something in one of his videos about summer sets. So could be like a Conspiracy, Battlebonds, type bundle. I don't think anyone knows at the moment which kind of sucks lol

Rudy, do we send paypal funds as soon as the clock strikes 9pm EST, or do you want us commenting instead?

Agreed

I hope you only accept payments that come in from 9pm EST and after, any early go to the back of the line?

is this just going to be magic boosters or other products as well?

I'm saving up some funds for Drano booster boxes when they drop a bit more hopefully after Oko Abs ban

Selesnyan Envoy

We can assume 20-30% will not participate due to wallet fatigue and being close to a major holiday... so, 1 in every 3 will miss out

With the PayPal cancel fee let's hope the first one

Mutation666

Maybe Drano booster boxes at the $270 to $280 price point? Hype!!!!

Selesnyan Envoy

Lol his blackfriday deal

Mutation666

Any predictions? I'm thinking 1 of each masters product!!!! Hype!!!! One can only hope 😁😁

Selesnyan Envoy

what is the product on sale?

So... 1 out of every two will miss out...

I bet he has enough for at least 50% of the patron

The real question is, will it be a comment first and see if you are in or race to paypal?

Does every order include a Taco* for us? (*some assembly required)

Andrew Gerber

Yes! What’s the pricing so I can be READY!

A little savage but lol 🤣

Tease! I mean... thanks for the heads up Rudy. :)

Joe Knight

What's the pricing? So I can set alarms if need be?

A million dollars so don’t bother checking...I’ll let you know 30 minutes after he posts the sale

Ohhhh. This has peaked my fancy

So I know if I can buy it or not

What would the price point be?
