@gempulls you got over 100 subs now
how much is shipping? I found someone selling battle partners boxes to me for 12,600 yen (80 USD) and they are about $120-130 on tcgplayer rn. I just dont know how much shipping is and don't know if the margins will be worth it after shipping on my part and tcg fees
ive started this too, im only 14. I started with about 500 dollars, and now I have over 2500 value in around a month. 500 is liquid cash, and I have about another 2600 in value (counting as 2000 considering fees, ability to sell, etc.) I want to know how can I expand from here? My current operation is either buying local collections from people who no longer play and flipping in bulk at auctions, or looking at auctions ending soonest on ebay for snipes. I also look for grading plays to flip. What else can I do or do you recommend?
If you don’t mind me asking what did you pay for your single case of terestal fest
My distributor explained to me that it would be cheaper for me to simply buy 20 boxes as opposed to the case of 20 for terestal festival
Is it not cheaper to buy sayyyy 20 boxes compared to a case of 20 boxes??
Great video man. Trying to find my first supplier right now. Keep up the great work!!
Here's what makes no Sense to me. At $120 valued card purchased at $90 and after ebay's fee at 15% your walking with $10. Now considering you have To pay taxes too because it's 1099 applicable, you now are below what you paid for it and in the negative. These are some of the things no one talks about. Food for thought
no offense man but this to me is just another Fear mongering comment that I get all the time, that has no base. I literally can make videos explaining and showing my profits (which I have) demonstrating the profitability, and people will legit still come up with reasons to not do this, which i honestly can care less. I don’t pay 15% on eBay. I pay 12% + shipping. I’m a Top rated seller. But let’s assume your example. $120 sold price. $90 was the amount I bought it. 120 x .15% = $102 Shipping will be $4.5 (EBAY GIVES YOU 30% DISCOUNTS ON USPS LABELS) $102-$4.5 =$97.50 Bubble mailer supply = .25 cents Final amount = 97.25 97.25 - 90 =7.25 final net profit. Now depending how much your total profit is in a 12 month calendar will determine which tax bracket you’re in. The IRS will never tax you more than 40% if you make a 500k-1mil + PROFIT. So I’ll take 40%. Just for shits and giggles. $7.25 x .4% = $4.25 So guess what? Taking extreme examples of eBay fees + extreme taxation. You’re still left with $4.25. What kind of math are you calculating where it’s negative? Comments like this just annoy me at this point & it’s absolutely wrong. Just don’t start a pokemon business then. Do something else if this ain’t for you 👍
@gempulls I let me first say I apologize if I came off rude. I'm glad you responded with very well explanation on profit and taxes. Don't get me wrong this model works and to offer productive criticism here, I'll say that my calculations were based on a regular seller (15% eBay fee and 15% on taxes) who isn't a top rated seller. The margin for profit are very tight but can work. Please don't think I'm just being negative. Just passing my experience too based on what I sell. I too make make profit but since I don't do it often I'm very picky on what I pick up and limit my spending on product to minimize potential loss.
Thank you, this video was really good
Im just here with my popcorn chill'n and watching. Lets have some fun and see what happens lol
What do you do to prevent fraud or switch to the single card on eBay
I don’t worry about that. I’ve dealt with 1 I incident of someone trying to commit fraud against me on eBay. eBay obviously took my side. I’ve done over 6k sold items. Only dealt with 1 incident. You’re good 👍
I agree, I've been saying this in just about every comment section around!.... Thanks for this video, my son and I started our channel to make memories and build a positive community and it's been that way so far, but now there's a ton of negativity and finger pointing and its tough to see. I'm just putting my head down and making sure to shield my son from this part of the hobby the best I can!.... Good luck to everyone on getting your hands on whatever you want to rip for fun. :)
I think they like spreading things out. More collection boxes. More margins
You should have left out "in 2025" from the title
Toi many "right" and "okay"s
Ducks in a row! 🫡 🦆
Listening a year later XD looking to move into the Japanese market myself...gotta find someone on IG.
Use the international shipping program then ebay sees it with there own eyes... don't give up
The same thing happened to me on a five hundred dollar card. After talking to ebay, they're the one that suggested using the international shipping program from here on out. I've had a couple issues since, but they take care of it on their end. No frozen funds no nothing. It only took me 4 years to figure this out. No one ever told me until I talked to a really nice agent
Not me. Started with $1700 and not buying more till I sell through what I got.
bro yappin' in JUST my right ear.... LOL
Negative title worked. I clicked 😂
Right Now Both English and Japanese sets are volatile. Future English sets will be in demand that both ETB, and Booster boxes will not be sold at MSRP. Like Pokemon Journey Together, Blooming Water 151, and Prismatic Evolution. On Jan 9 Pokemon center dropped the New Set Pokemon Journey Together, and it sold out, On Ebay Sellers are selling it at 200 to 300 hundred dollars. so the End Result is that the buyer will move over to Japanese sets, but now we are seeing those sets rising like Pokemon Battle Partner, the English version is Journey Together Right now the best thing is to look for low-demand sets like Scarlet and Violent base set, Paradox Rift, Right now everyone should be extra cautious about Japanese sellers when dealing with wholesale because some people got scammed, and lost a lot of money. For starters only, use Paypal Goods and Services. Because Japanese sellers know Pokemon cards are high in demand, the bad Apple will come out in full force to scam people. Right now English Distro, doesn't have anything, no ETB, OR Booster Box. Inventory is limited. Everything will be purchased in the secondary market. Great Video
Off subject, and you may have mentioned this before but are you doing the as sole proprietor?
@@Crocodonk yes, sole proprietor
Yes
@@franklinmedianews2871 This is a business with small margins where volume is king. However, more people support themselves by doing this side hustle than you would be willing to believe, obviously.
@@franklinmedianews2871 I dont sell anything on ebay anymore
How much revenue did you generate from selling Pokemon?
sorry to hear this bro. i'm on your page now. wishing you the best. stay blessed.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
On the auction are you starting the bid at $1.00?
Yes
Don't give up! I just opened my online store and haven't gotten a single order and thats ok. Gotta keep at it! While I am not packing orders just yet I am using this time to perfect my website and consume as much content on eCommerce.
thank you for showing this
No problem!
Good stuff! I just joined the movement. 2025 is going to be a good learning year for me and my online store.
I wish you the very best!
I’ve noticed that prices for all Japanese sets has gone up recently, why do you think they’ve gone up so much and are you still buying at these prices?
Good question. So I’m buying things that are stable Super electric breaker - buying weekly Terastal - waiting for prismatic to come out. I think once the English comes out, i believe Terastal will retrace & stabilize for awhile since the new money will be flowing into English. Battle Partners - extremely expensive & I don’t know how the market will react to it. I don’t have a position yet for this set. Little over priced in my opinion. I don’t think it beats terastal.
made, generally refers to PROFIT not gross sales.
It’s called Clickbait, & you do notice I never said “50k in profit” in the video. Happy new year.
@@gempulls proud of your clickbait, nice.
Can you explain the partner ship with rip and shippers? Like you’re buy their bulk sealed product and how would that work?
I basically buy out their inventory that they essentially have left over. It’s usually high end cards that are raw & high end slabs. New concept for me. I’m working with a couple guys that allow me to buy out their inventory super cheap every week. Hopefully it goes well. So far it is.
@ interesting concept I dig it hope it goes well
Do you have a rough estimation of how much you spent for 2024?
I probably spent 30-35k this year. Once I do my taxes I’ll have an accurate amount
@@gempulls yikes ..all that for $3,000-$5000 profit on year 😮
Congratulations man that's impressive! 2025 going be 150k easy! As an ebay seller myself, hope i can keep up with you! Also Congratulations! 💍
Thank you for your support! I appreciate it! I wish you all the best this year too with your pokemon business as well! 😊
My local scalper Raul that hangs by the local TCG store thinks his revenue will be 350k this year. Insane times.
You sold 50k on Ebay. You didn't profit 50k.
Did you watch the video? Never ever did I say “50k in profit “ I said 50k in “sales” aka revenue
50k in revenue selling on ebay is probably a 12-15k profit ... 50k sales 12k selling fees . 38k profit Now let's say ur profit margin 40% Ur at about 16k in profit Then add federal and state tax ... 12k-15k ... Very hard to make money in pokemon...especially as a ebay seller ...almost impossible to make a living doing full time unless close to 1 mill in sales .. I would open your own website and sell
I disagree with this take & by no means am I discrediting this comment. It’s logical & well thought out. First off, if for example 15k was overall profit margin, there is no way I’m giving the IRS 14k off that. 15k (as an example) if 15k were to be my profit, then I’m paying the IRS 12% off 15k. So essentially 2k will be given to the IRS, leaving me with 13k left over, I don’t have state income tax in my state (Las Vegas, NV). Secondly, most people TCG businesses probably fail within the first 5 years because owners don’t have finance Knowledge. Most owners of TCG stores probably don’t have emergency funds, Savings, investments, nor any type of retirement savings. I’ve been fortunate enough to obtain financial knowledge over the past five years before even starting this business. I live off my investments outside of Pokemon. I generate a 4.35% yield from a High Yields CD off my Savings. I live off the interest. I live below my means. I also invest into the Stock market outside of Pokemon. I rent two rooms in a house. My bills are low. My car is paid off, no debt, good credit, & I have a budget every month. There is no way I’d be able to run this business full time if I didn’t have these things in place. I don’t pay myself 1 dollar from the business. I take all my profits & I reinvest it back into the business. Which I’ve seen great sustainable growth the last two years. I’m not bragging by no means by the way. I still am no where near where I wanna be financially. I have many goals. & I enjoy this pokemon business. Thought I’d be transparent, but I love this comment. Breaking down numbers is always educational.
@gempulls No small business can survive when your giving over 20% of your revenue to third party right off the bat . Unless your business is making alot of revenue ..I'm talking in the 100s of thousands
This is definitely the best comment I’ve read. Wow I think you’re right and I should quit now. No point of trying anymore. Just give up. You’re the expert and I should definitely be taking this advice. You’ve seriously opened up my eyes. Holy shit. Best advice I’ve ever read.
Thanks for showing real numbers I'm excited to break mine down soon
Thank you.💯!
I would not be sending $40K through USPS
You have to buy the insurance.
I sold some expensive cards to international buyers back during the pandemic boom. I got lucky, never had any problems. But I will take your advice and not list cards internationally in the future if I ever get back into selling. Thanks for sharing your experience and giving us a warning. Sorry you went through that unfair crap
I never do international, i never do returns, if its an expensive order, get insurance, which is an extra 5 or 10 bucks. If it was never delivered, the shipping service is responsible. Seems like common sense, this coulda been avoided easily... plus yea it sux to lose 400 bucks, but if ur actual business, you should be able to eat it. Ive taken 2-3k losses. It sux, cuz i pretty much worked for free that month. But it is what it is
I would stop if you do rip and ship. How do you expect to get more products if regular people can't.
I don’t do rip n ships… I haven’t bought anything pokemon from a retail store since 2022.
I'm from Europe and I do 0 business internationally besides Europe unless we talk about max $10. Always the same issues, no tracking, no proof, customs, extreme long transit, in case of damage the returns with extra fees. You name it it is too much effort you put into for cards.
😳 you need to get in contact with the Better Business Bureau and file a claim.
I may have missed it but did you have have insurance on the package?
Could someone help me out where to get Pokemon boxes for great prices as I am looking long time and no results 😓
Why not selling packs and boxes on TikTok people are very obsessed with Pokemon
Where do you get your Pokemon cards from could you send me a link or the name cants find any 😢for good price
lol your arupid
I don’t sell international at all because of this exact issue. On orders over $200+, I always pay for signature confirmation as well. Do the best you can to protect yourself.
That's good. Do something more stable.
