I been wondering what is the purpose of having multiple TCG player accounts and what they are used for. Like is one used for bulk and another is for higher priced cards?
I signed up for your Patreon, that in its self, is worth while as for someone like me who is trying to take my TCGplayer to the next level and my side hustle. I appreciate your video's, information and the ability to give newbies like us a chance to become legit.
Hello RNG-Gamez thank you for answering my question in this video. When you are listing/sorting huge amounts of inventory what is the process? (Over 30,000 cards) do you sort through all them first based on what parameters? or just list the cards per box as you go through them? I find I waste a lot of time when it comes to listing cards/finding cards after I made a sale and often times I will list and selling one bulk card for 50 cents then a week later find that i have a ton more.
Great video! I know previously you shipped up to 26 cards in PWE is this still true now? Also what is your minimum before you add tracking for an order?
Thanks for the saving us all so many headaches by giving us content like this. Speaking of youtube content, can you give me your top 5 creators you follow in the industry? Mine are Chase at tcgbulkkings, Mason at CardNAll, Louie at kitchentabletcg, Brian at PokeNE, and last but not least that rng-gamez guy.
I have been in MTG buying and selling for close to 15 years. I am looking to do this from home (Unless I can run a store from home via employees) as I have a 100k a year IT job that I cant give up at this time. How much did you start with and can I do it from home buying collections (I live close to the post office to ship) and I have room to do singles not a huge amount but I can move a bit if needed
I have a Pro Account and am primarily into bulk Pokemon, with a few other products. On my bulk cards - how can I save on shipping, outside of hopefully-not-fake eBay stamps? I got your tip of having a floor but worry I'll price myself out. Your channel is amazing, thanks for the great content!
Do you keep up with your sales from each set you list on tcgplayer in order for you to determine your profit? And if so, how do you do it since tcgplayer only goes back 120 days?
I tried to find this in your old video… but what are those bulk box cling-on tools that keep your cards from falling over in the storage boxes?? Can’t seem to figure out what they are called and would solve a lot of headaches picking cards for orders.
Can you talk about the automations you have in place. I know you have the sorters but you have mentioned automation a few times and I was wondering what that was.
Here is my story: I started my RU-vid channel and TCGplayer seller account around 5 months ago. The idea was to buy discounted sealed product, do an unboxing video, and then sell the cards with the goal of breaking even (of course try to make money where I can). Then get monetized on RU-vid, the ad revenue would then be rolled into dividend stocks. So far, it's working pretty well. I have about 700 more subscribers to go though. The stats on my tcgplayer store are: 100% rating, Seller lvl 4, and $2,737 Net sales. I opened a $1000 credit card to buy cards and pay the statement balance off every month. My question is, is it time for me to expand my buying power and go well beyond the $1000 limit? Should I start buying $5000 at a time? Or will there be pitfalls that I don't see why boosting my inventory?
I'm a part owner of a used auto dealership and we found that having more cars didn't increase our profits by much. The work increased a lot but the profits didn't reflect the extra work put in. So I'm wondering if it's the same way with selling cards. The 1k was just a limit I put on myself and with sales I never had to dip into personal money (or any of my money at all since it's all on credit that gets paid off).
At first I wasn't doing great until I pivoted away from opening sealed pokemon boxes at MSRP. Once I started buying out clearance boxes of pokemon and other TCGs then I started doing good. Every time TCGplayer deposits into my bank I pay some of the credit card, so I'm buying more than 1k, it just stops me from buying a large amount at one time.
I am selling on tcgplayer and am doing over 50+ orders a day. In Your opinion what card sorter should I buy? I am doing mostly bulk and want to speed up the set sorting process the most. I know it will change my life as I am currently working 12+ hours a day to maintain livable lifestyle doing cards. Thank you for being who you are and showing people the real side to slinging carboard as a job.
Hello. I have a question for you. You mentioned your patreon, could you give more details about this. What products are available, how much is shipping, is there a limit on what you can order and how much? I may be interested, but the site doesn't give enough details for me to know if it will suit my needs. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
Hi Rob, loved your videos. I'm getting to the point where sorting cards is becoming a bottle neck and thinking about investing in a card sorter. I see you have the roca and one other, can you go into the pros and cons about using them?
Dude your tips and advice are invaluable to those of us just starting out that want to turn a passion and the work ethic into a dream come true. Will you be offering more spaces on the Patreon anytime soon?
How do you “vet” people to work for you? I am basically the person you’ve mentioned selling cards out of my closet (I have bigger goals but I don’t think having a store is one of them, nothing wrong with it obvs). I am at an impasse where I still have a job and if I grew a little more I’d probably need people to help, at least for a day or two during set releases and have been considering something like taskrabbit but also would be nervous about having people in my house. Probably some people in my playgroup would help if I asked them but that’s not a solution long term.
Great video! I love your transparency. You’re writing the manual on how to open a store. The questions people asked were so thoughtful and new. Keep them coming!
If just getting started with a sorting machine (and you could only choose one to start with), would you recommend the Phyzbatch or the Roca as a first machine and why? Thanks!
I would start with the roca because of the was it alphabetizes. It does it way better than any other machine due to its bin systems. The other machines are limited. If I were to do it over again I would get the biggest machine they offer as well totally worth it.
@@rng-gamez Thanks Rob! Just picked up my first Roca yesterday. Got it off a guy here locally that owns a shop but wasn't using it the way he thought he would. It's the smaller capacity one but only a month and a half old. I also picked up 125k pokemon holo/reverse bulk from him (which will keep me busy for a while). Ran my first 4 sorts through it yesterday and i'm hooked! It's literally addicting watching and knowing cards are being sorted while I'm doing other stuff. I work out of my house/workshop here in Texas (so between my wife who stays up late and me who wakes up early, we can have that thing running nearly 24/7) Thanks for all your videos. I've probably watched them all and they've been a big part of helping me make the jump to where I'm at now.
@@KyleHandy make sure you reach out to TCGplayer and let them know the changes in ownership, and pay for support and parts because you do need to change parts and do upkeep. Congratulations on the machine well worth the money
@@rng-gamez yup. sent a message over the long weekend to previous owners rep letting them know and they said they'd get with me today about an orientation session and changing everything over. Seems like their support is great. Happy new year! Here's to a great 2024.
Hey Rob, I just wanted to say thanks started on tcg player in November and already went from level 1 to 4 and direct/proseller 1000+ sales and 10k in first month. If you ever come to Michigan look me up I'll get you and your wife dinner!
I'm deeply moved by this video! Just subscribed, can't wait for your next one! - "Triumph arises from relentless dedication and unwavering commitment."
