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.

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.

@pxpin89 Жыл бұрын

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.

@TheLabTCG Жыл бұрын

Fair point, and poor wording on my end. It's definitely not something I would encourage doing, though.

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.

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

@jorgegaytanjr.3609 Жыл бұрын

Would also like to know the most cost effective way. Been looking into sending as “flats” so bubble mailer without tracking

@TheLabTCG Жыл бұрын

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!

@gamelockbreaks9607 Жыл бұрын

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.

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 😭

@TheLabTCG Жыл бұрын

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

@TheLabTCG Жыл бұрын

I do list them individually, but more often than not, people buy more than one card at a time.
