    Working full time and coming home to work on your business 100 hours a week was so hard. You didn’t let your dream just be a dream. You did it!

    I will take the shot but I'll wait for the time to be ready. I took a small step in getting my own apartment for the company, which is considerably cheaper down here than commercial realestate that starts at like 5k/mo. Only problem is now you need a brick and mortar for distributors so I'm kinda screwed on that end, but at least I can still buy and sell bulk and singles, graded cards etc.

    thanks for the insight, i 'll send that to a friend, who dreams to open a geek shop
    I'm already selling magic the gathering stuff, started casually, and now it grows, becoming kind of full time, earnings not sufficient but better than nothing (especially with unemployment, increase of everything, for just life expense, it's hard)
    i get that too, now a regular job would be really great, guaranteed pay, clock out and stress free in the free time, real days off and free time, not paying to work (as in buy/sell, we have to buy a lot first, no guarantee to sell, when, at what price, it's stressfull, with not much savings)
    But still, there are nice part too, doing what i love, learning a lot, earning a few for now but it grows quite significantly, free cards paid by sales, lots of stuff i couldn't discover otherwise

    Found your channel, and i have to say it's fascinating. My question to you is, do you think say a pokemon only shop would be sustainable? The lgs in my area all seem to have their niche, some are more geared toward say magic, or other things entirely like comics....

    • @rng-gamez
      @rng-gamez  Před rokem +2

      Pokémon only I don’t think would work. You need to sell everything in order for things to work, if one card game dies down your business dies.

    I'm slowly saving up for my goal of opening a shop. I have just over 10k. A ways to go still, but your videos have been inspiring and a great help. Have you noticed since we are past that covid boom, if getting distribution and inventory is still tough? Also, If we have more specific store questions should we ask here or in the discord? I saw a general questions tab in the discord but wanted to make sure. Thanks!

    Your numbers don't add up on the cell phone cases. If you bought them for 8 cents a piece and they sold for 19.99 and your initial investment was roughly 180 bucks, you should have been sitting on like 45,000....so my question is...how much does Amazon take? Even if they take 50%, you should've had like 20K.

    • @rng-gamez
