    Dude thanks so much for making this I’ve always wanted to open a card shop especially lately since my city had a thriving scene and hasn’t had a shop since the last one went under a few years back …but the amount of videos on the topic was limited and you can only rewatch the same ones so many times lol this was super interesting and informative!!

    Just found your content today. Very interesting. Except the Yankees hat. Well at least it's not the Mets. So you can only get product if you have a brick and mortar, is that correct? What about Diamond distributors can you get product from them?

    So my question is I also work at home ebay.
    I overheard u say u get your supplies sent to u through ups store or P.o.box places
    So how did u set up a supplier with out a store front to get wholesale there. ?
    Thx

    • @rng-gamez
      @rng-gamez  Před 2 lety +1

      You can still have a wholesale account without having a store front. You just can’t get magic or other brick and mortar exclusives

    GTS took my application but they wouldn't even take anyone without pictures of the store front, the walls inside, play area, and the point of sale station. I had to be almost ready to open with zero inventrory before they could even push me further into the process.

    • @rng-gamez
      @rng-gamez  Před 2 lety

      GTS took my application as well but when they got back to me they told me they aren’t taking new accounts.
      Most distributors want all that info in order to sell magic. If you want to be a WPN that’s a whole other process even more stuff

    Is a food license required for prepackaged snacks and drinks? Chips/Soda/Ice Pops? Also you said to get the distributor before the lease, but then talked about sending them pics of the store which I wont have yet.

    you say I need a fixed sign to the building to be a wpn what if it's a historic building so the city don't allow me to Modify the outside of it with anything permanent. I already own the building so I'm confused I can't become a wpn store 😕
