Why we called it
An older Pokémon collection box still sitting on Asda shelves at £20.99, against roughly £45 on the resale market. Better than 2x on something that has been discontinued long enough that most people assume it has gone.
It was spotted by the same member on the same Asda run that turned up the £9.99 Minecraft Switch cartridge, which is the point worth taking from it. Once you are already walking a Pokémon route, the shelf either side of it is free to check.
Mega Charizard tins were flagged the same hour at £22 against roughly £40, so the trip was worth more than the one product that started it.
The edge
What members knew before everyone else worked it out.
- £20.99 in store against roughly £45, so a shade over 2x on a discontinued box.
- Found on a normal Asda Pokémon route rather than through a monitor or an alert.
- Mega Charizard tins flagged the same hour at £22 to roughly £40.
- Older sealed collection boxes keep, so there is no urgency to sell into a specific window.
- Both finds came from a member checking shelves rather than waiting for a ping.
How it played out
- 24 Aug
Spotted in store
Flagged by a member mid-route and posted the same lunchtime, alongside the Mega Charizard tins.
The takeaway
Two of the better cheap finds of the month came from one person walking round an Asda with his eyes open. Monitors will not catch a discontinued box that never went out of stock, which is why the in-store lane is not going anywhere.
