Why it worked
The video leverages the scarcity and high demand for Pokemon trading cards, specifically highlighting a below-MSRP deal at a popular retailer like Costco. It effectively uses a soft sell by promoting a Discord server for alerts, which is a valuable resource for collectors and creates a sense of urgency and exclusivity.
