Sold my first cards on tcgp today and I cannot appreciate your videos enough man, good job and I will keep watching you for further advice
Thanks for all the information, you are a certified hustler with great business sense. Learning alot from your videos. Keep doing what you do!
Big fan of the channel, just had a quick question for ya:
D you have any idea of the general value of modern cards by rarity? I have scoured the web but have not had any success finding any material related to it.
Thanks Kyle! I do not unfortunately. I got a request to start posting more data driven information, so this might he something I can look into!
I’ve bought from you before bro! Great video! Thanks!
TLDR: spend many hours to sort your cards, they must be in MINT condition. Send them at your cost to the store and they will pay you 0.01$ - 0.08$ per each. It is the worst business idea I ever heard of. Better just burn these cards go to work for these few hours instead of sorting. Your income will be MUCH higher.
Another great video thanks for the info. Any chance you will do a video where u build a Shopify store , but go more in depth about it?
Thanks Gustavo! I'm going to save that for a live stream. Targeting sometime in March.
I took my bulk cards (commons, uncommons, reverses and holos) to my LCS nearby and they said no. So now I just store them for now. Thanks for the video. I have to figure out how to sell bulk later but this is great information. I love the idea of selling singles and will eventually do that but I'm working on selling my Vs, VMAXs and VSTARs first.
Aw that sucks... That is a good idea though, starting with more valuable cards is a good way to build up feedback.
I may be interested
I want them XD
Hey will! Love the video. How about a video for people who are in between level 4 and Tcg player direct. How to get to that level. Thanks
Thanks for the idea! I can do that.
Great content! Keep doing what you are doing!
Thank you! Will do!
@@TheLabTCG would like to pick your brain a bit on your process. Is there an email I can send a few questions to? I am kind of running the same model on ebay and tcgplayer with trading cards, sports cards and comics since 2020.
Sign up for pirate ship and a large flat rate box is $20 save about $5 in shipping. sign up is free too. I also use them to fulfill shipments from TCGplayer for high-dollar orders. Just bought 2k bulk from a friend from Scarlet/violet there were 20 nest balls that paid for the whole lot plus the other good trainers from the set.
Nice! I use pirateship as well.
Thanks for the tips! How can we maximize our profit cutting shipping cost for smaller bulk lots (50 card lots). I’ve have to break into 17x3 sections and added to PWE with 2 stamps…and pray to universe everything lands
Would also like to know the most cost effective way. Been looking into sending as “flats” so bubble mailer without tracking
Good question! It is not super easy to do with bulk lots. I have always shipped them out with bubble mailers and taken the $4 hit for first class shipping. When you get a client list going and good feedback, you can start to charge more and see a higher ROI. Otherwise, I would use a fulfillment service or stick to local sales. I hope this helps!
You are the man I going to turn this into a challenge and see how much I can make selling my Pokémon cards
That is awesome Lance, best of luck!
I gotta start getting rid of this bulk one day, but for now i guess im hoarding.
Hoard away! It could be worth more someday.
@The Lab TCG when sending in bulk do you guys want the hoils in sleeves in team.bags or no
@@jefferystanger7690 Nope, you can send holofoils in as is.
What's up loooowry!
What would be the best way to do singles like this on ebay you think? Just like listing other cards I'd have to assume which would take an eternity lol 😭
Yep... Creating a template to speed it up would be good. Other than that, you would have to create and take photos of everything individually or take photos from online.
So if I were to sell singles on TCG player, would i be shipping these $0.25 cards all separately and end up using lots of recourses for shipping? Are the cards you list in a bundle
I do list them individually, but more often than not, people buy more than one card at a time.
Lets get this straight though. You are not "obligated" to send your cards to an online shop because you filled a form out.. >_> These guys don't send you any money until after they get the cards so nothing is lost either way if you don't send them anything.
Fair point, and poor wording on my end. It's definitely not something I would encourage doing, though.
Great video mate? Do you still send to amazon?
Thanks Matthew! I do not.
Thank You
Do you have a video about setting up level 4 seller shipping? I need some insight on it.
I can make an updated TCGPlayer video. I believe I have this in my old tcgplayer video.
@@TheLabTCG Sweet that would be awesome.
@@TheLabTCGhey did you ever make an updated video on this? I’m a level 4 seller and would love to hear your advice for optimal shipping rates for bulk listings
Great information! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for this
You're welcome
respectfully, how much are you profiting monthly/yearly?
depends on the month and level of effort. 6k this year.
WILL THE GOAT ‼️
No you 😉
You say you list for 25 cents but what about commons that are values at 4cents how do you sell those and or make money
I only list cards at .25. So if a card is worth 4 cents, I list it for .25.
@@TheLabTCG do they sell?
@@CGCampUT Yes, but not all the time. Slow dime over fast nickel.
Can you buy my bulk I don’t want to list them all lol
Yes! Head over to thelabtcg.com and click the tab that says "sell us your bulk"
@@TheLabTCG I’ll do it sometime this week !
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣When your parents have money all is different.
I sell my Pokemon Cards at Jerseys!
Nice!
But i want warm soft cash :(
Fine, next video you can have it...
