One particular customer came in and took a special liking to a SlowPoke plushie which he ended up buying for just $200. It was after the customer moved out of the store, one of the OTK members asked Mizkif “The Slowpoke went for $200, that’s it, and you were mad about me about the Pokemon cards earlier?”. 

Various OTK members proceeded to ask who was the person responsible for selling the Pokemon plushie for such a low cost. Mizkif immediately called out Jacob who immediately answered that he had asked Mizkif multiple times as to what price the plushie was to be sold at. Mizkif informs everyone that the Slowpoke plushie was put on eBay for $2,600. 

Esfand was surprised and asked, “Wait that is over $2,600?”. Mizkif explains that the Pokemon plushie was very rare so they are priced pretty high. But by the time they had realized the customer had left the area. 

The clip was uploaded on Reddit and went viral instantly. Redditors did their research and found out that the Slowpoke plushie was not that pricy and Mizkif was just propping up numbers. They also added that the plushie could be bought for around $800 on eBay while a person commented that this happened because he decided to move the dates.

Mizkif is hated for moving the dates
