Can You Make Money Selling Low End Sports Cards On Ebay?

- There's always a debate on low end sports cards and the market for them, especially when it comes to base. This debate has only intensified with the increase in sales and attention to the high end card sales at shows and EBay. So will low end base cards sell? Is having a monster store of them pointless? Will those cards sell? Or will they sit?

Having a store of 15,000 items can be a chore, even with sports cards. Here's how I inventory and keep it all in line - czcams.com/video/JtDO3V-BxRw/video.html
Just came over and subbed and joined your ebay store. I'm considering starting a small ebay card hustle to add to my flea market booth later on. For now, I'm learning all I can from you guys.. Set builders like me buys oddball cards folks..
I totally agree with you...listing bulk will not make us rich, but someone needs that 'ONE' card to complete a set.
they 100% do!
New Subscriber and love the content! Love the different prospective and info
thank you sir, appreciate you watching!
Enjoyed your insights and thank you for sharing.
thank you, and thank you for watching!
Great video!
I have a box in the shop where I put all the new rookies and base cards from collections I buy and packs I open and I rotate them frequently. So $.50 a card and $1 for rookies and that's any rookie. Kenny Pickett? Brock Purdy? Sure, they're all a dollar. You have no idea how many "base" cards I sell a day💯
thats awesome, base cards are huge. for a lot of people its likely the only cards they can afford too
@TheFlippingSportsGuy Yes, I love seeing their eyes light up and they always ask "is this really a dollar?" makes me smile every time lol
Thanks! That helps answer part of a question I had a few days ago.
Good! i didnt forget about it, i've just been swamped with youth football starting this week. I just made a price change in my new listings and want to see how that goes before fully answering for you
@@TheFlippingSportsGuy No worries! I know what it’s like. I had three girls in youth sports and helped coach them all. I’m still on the little league and youth basketball boards, but my “kids” are 22, 20 & 19. I still love to give back. Spend a lot of time with your kids, and create those memories! You will never get to go back and do it ever again. I miss those days for sure!
Awesome info.
You never know who is looking for what card. I'm sure every player is someone's favorite. Loe-end sports cards is a volume game not a sell through game
What a great video! I’m a collector and have an opportunity to buy a massive collection at a very fair price, a lot of it I will probably sell & only keep what I really like. So this video was great, loved seeing your set up and process for packing. Keep up the good work.
thanks for watching brian, appreciate the support!
First time watching. loved the video. quick question i'm about to start selling mine and i'm really hung up on tracking do you or don't you include tracking? i'd rather drop off at my mailbox down street which i think means no tracking
tracking is automatic, its just not the standard tracking that the USPS counter or mailman can scan. its machine scanned at local sorting hubs
I sold that same Jose Alvarado at one point, they do sell!
Hey there really enjoy your channel. How do you print your labels and what are they called
i use a rollo printer and thermal labels
Well done 🎉
thank you!
Do u have a Shipping video and shipping cost video?
So how do you profit? Is it all in the shipping? If you (the seller) pay for shipping you are only profiting around .80 cents per card, or less considering labels, envelopes, & time. Is that even worth it?
Do you have people who buy only certain players. How often do you have people buy bulk amounts of cards.
What do you make on each base card it seems like you go through.a lot of supplies and it is a lot of work
when there's no promoted listings i'll get.39 cent/card at $1.50 before supplies. i just upped my prices on new listings to $1.60 because of the ESE increase, which is getting me .47. the Supplies cost me about 0.14. It's small amount per card when individual but increases on the multi-quantity orders.
The longest part of my whole process is actually the shipping portion which is around a minute per card. If im focused on that doing nothing else i can do a little under.
Ton of cards sell for potential autographs as well
great point mike! that too
Have tons of these listed. But slow selling....
that they are !!
What is the lowest priced card you would sell with free shipping? Ive seen ppl list cards for $1 + free shipping and I wonder why they do that when they are obviously losing money from seller fees and shipping alone. The lowest have sold is $1.50, but lately I won't go under $1.59.
Ebay has a shipping option for cards and coins sent in a plain white envelope for like .63 cents, So anything over that can be profitable.
@@CorsbieGaming if you sold card that ship search for $.69 for $.70 you’d be losing $.36 eBay still charges final value fee of $0.30 + 12.5% of the total sale price. On $1.50+shipping sales I make $0.87 cents after fees before factoring in 1 cent for my business card, 1 cent for a penny sleeve, 3 cents for a cardboard mailer, and 5 cents for a rigid case.
Personally I will list anything that I will make more after fees than the post office gets
@@earlgendron4893 yep my calc is usually for a $1.50 card, selling fees is at least $.50, shipping is $0.63, and cost of materials is $.25 (assuming it needs a top loader, penny sleeve, envelope, shipping label, (I made custom stickers for my store which I include) so that'll get you to roughly $0.40. And then you can finally factor in the cost of how much you paid for the card. So at $1.50 sale, you only have $0.10 profit max. So for me I still will sell them once in a while just to boost up my numbers and get turnover.
Im seeing the ebay envelope shipping price to be $1.11. If Im shipping at 1.11, have a listing/final value fee, and buying an envelope, tape etc, even if the card was free, am I not just breaking even at 1.50 w/ free shipping? Please tell me where Im going wrong. Thanks!
1.11 is for the 3 oz rate. 1 card should be the 1 oz rate which is 0.63 cents
Got it! Thanks man. Ive been selling sportscards on ebay since 2007. Ive focused on mid - high end stuff that whole time. Found a few of you guys on YT and Im looking forward to moving the thousands of cards that I thought "werent good enough for ebay". Thanks for all the help. Im making my way through all your playlists right now while sorting cards! @@TheFlippingSportsGuy
@@TheFlippingSportsGuyhave you run into specific USPS markets where they refuse to deliver ESE at the 1 oz (or even 2 oz) rate and send it back to sender requesting additional postage at the 3 oz rate? I’ve run into this issue in Seattle, WA recently, and have another card currently held up in that facility again. Pretty aggravating, just arbitrarily up charging us because they feel like it, essentially they’re forcing us to lie about the weight. Wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same issue anywhere else.
Good job,
I’m new to eBay card selling, my question is, for you and the community.
what does everyone do with all the cards they don’t want and seems like can’t even sale ??
I have a large stack of base cards of non all-star players and I just give one of them for free with each of my orders. Based off what they are buying and/or where they live, I try to pick a team I think they are a fan.
1.50 free shipping = net profit on each card ?
its low, especially when running promotions. i just recently started listings at 1.75 now
60k listings?? Dang Paul🤣
Would be nice to fill up the store package lol
U got many NASCAR cards for sale?
No,no nascar
Hope on not stepping on toes, but since you don't have any, figured I'd try to help. @cajunreseller are you looking for new or old? Because I have like 20 packs of those bright yellow '91 Maxx Nascar Race Cards packs that I'd be happy to part with for nexta nothing.
And same reaction to your other comment about 60k listings, like Ice Cube & Chris Tucker said in Friday, "dayummmmmm!"
I do
You can’t see all flaws in a picture.
That is true too! Thanks for watching and commenting
I gave the low end singles a serious shot, but without having unlimited free eBay listings, you can’t really scale it up.
I maxed out my 100k free listings with an Anchor Store and got was doing ~$5,000/mo off of $1.99 free shipping cards like what you talked about. The challenge is that 70-80% of the sales will always be for just one single card. Even when I’ve ran a Buy One Get One free coupon, over 60% of orders would still be for just one card (most people didn’t even take the free second one)!
I ended up ending all 100k active listings and started over a little over a month ago and I’m selling the same cards, but as lots and in bulk. The profit per hour is WAY higher with this method.
