Buying Bulk and Selling Bulk Trading Cards as a Service
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Something I've wanted to do for a while. I'm finally in a place that I can get it off the ground. My Bulk Distribution Service! I've managed to make it a FEATURE of my processing system, rather than a major disruption to it. And I've found a pricing model that makes it be a decent deal for the buyers while still reflecting the value I add to the cards as they move through my hands. Even though I'm just one guy going through it, there's so much that can be done.

Your prices are very reasonable. I also love this video format and production. You’re continuing to kill it, and I’m glad things are going well Chase! Thanks for being a friend❤
Aww shucks Mason. I really enjoyed your Race against Rotation video, sorry I missed the live while editing this 😂
Let's keep crushing it, friend!
Ill definitely look at you! I'm looking to start selling singles, so i can fund my hobby. Im starting with my old bulk, to build a presence on tcgplayer, etc... Great videos btw!
Thanks for your kind words, and for watching! I hope you end up enjoying this as much as I do
Leaving a comment cause i love your channel
That means a lot to me, thanks so much for your kind words
I love how your brain works
Me too, thanks!
I’m a fan of your videos. My main game is Yugioh and I’ve picked bulk since 2015 and have 25k sales across eBay and tcg
If I’m being honest I personally feel sorting bulk the way you do just isn’t worth the time for the reward. I understand direct plays a role in your business so that’s certainly a plus.
Maybe what I’m looking to see/something that would change my mind is knowing the amount of time put into sorting a few sets, and then showing the returns on this sets sorted.
Again what you do is great and I really liked this video, think it’s a great idea 😎 I personally just find it hard to believe sorting out 3-10 cent commons adds up (even when tcg takes 50% for orders under $3 in direct).
Also I really think you need an employee if you don’t have one already. I’ve been thinking about doing this myself. The problem is that an employee should generate about a 4x return for the work they do, and in this type of business that isn’t easy. There are many many tasks anyone could do that just wastes my time. One of these things for you would be packing up this bulk. Optimizing your time in the most efficient way is key.
It's definitely not for everyone, and I've worked really hard to make it as worth my time as I can. It isn't ready to quantity the returns on a specific bulk purchase, because those returns can keep paying out in perpetuity. I still get significant sales from cards I listed 2 years ago. I'm not hiding the amount of work involved, but it's mostly front loaded, and you would be surprised at how quickly it pays for itself and how consistent listing ends up generating a good deal of return. It's a compounding marathon, not a sprint.
Thanks for watching, and for your kind words, and your perspective!
@@TCGBulkKings yeah I was thinking what you’re saying while writing. The work you put in now pays off later 100%, keep the grind up :)
"Hey Napoleon, Can I get some of your bulk?!" Omg my sides detached from my body and are ascending to lower earth orbit.
The thumbnail game is so strong rn!!! Haven’t watched yet, just wanted to mention it!
Appreciate you and I just made my first 2 bulk purchases! Hopefully it goes well! Fingers crossed!
Hey, I hope it does as well! If you got a good price for it, you ought to be able to make it work for you. Congratulations!
Typically, how long will it take to make a profit on the bulk?
@@Shortcxke1 it really depends on what's in it, but usually there's some higher demand stuff that sells more quickly and for a bit more than the base bulk single price. Sometimes there's like hidden gems in there worth $1, $5, &c., that really accelerate you to the breakeven point. The Weiss Schwarz bulk from my last video is already profitable, with 95% of the cards left over
I wish I could give you a "typical" time frame, but it just too widely varies for it to be any kind of useful as a data point.
Keep up the great work 👍 you are my reference for all things related to selling bulk. I've learned so much. Thank you!
Thanks a bunch! I'm always glad to hear I'm helping people out
Great idea and follow through. Wish I thought of it and acted on it first. I wish you the best of luck
I'm not going to get upset if you also bought and sold bulk 🤣
I love your channel and I’m subscribed
Thanks so much!
congrats on bringing this idea to life, would be interested to hear updates on if/how well this scales up for you, so far looks like good added value for your patreon subs
Oh I'm definitely going to keep updating about this if it keeps doing the way it seems to be. Glad you're enjoying it!
Good system I used to sell my fab bulk in flat rate boxes like this. Seems like a really nice service for people.
I'm hoping so, especially as geared as possible towards transparency so there's no mystery or secrecy by which I'm appearing to exploit anyone. It's neither in my own interest nor the interest of the market as a whole to hide anything, and I'm hoping that is helpful to people as well
I like this idea. I will have to pick up a box of Magic from you so I can get into that. I currently only have Pokemon. Thanks for the content.
I should have some magic available soon, keep an eye on it
thx for posting.
This is a timely video! I accumulate a lot of bulk, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to sell it. I'll probably sell via my website rather than eBay due to their high fees.
Hard to replicate the traffic that eBay gets though too. I'm going this route because I don't like selling bulk lots to the end consumer because I'm afraid it will come across as overcharging prime who don't know better. I'd rather sell to businesses who are going to break it down for singles.
Awesome news! Good luck
Thank you!
Bulk broker. Nice!
i wish you luck dude :)
Very much down to get some bulk from a trusted source!
Thought that might be useful, and I'm humbled that you can think of me as such a trusted source
Great videos as always! quick question, by any chance do you also sell bulk soccer cards or know the best place to find that? thanks!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I don't know of any sources of bulk soccer currently, but I will certainly be on the lookout for some after I get some more sports stock in :thumbsup:
Do you have a video explaining how to submit for bulk selling? What are you looking for, or better yet, what are you not interested in? Im just not sure how the process works for sellers to send you bulk cards. Thank you!
Not really, but that's a great idea, I'll have to do one soon when I'm ready to start accepting bulk again =]
At this point I think I'm just trying to figure out what the best way to acquire office and storage space is. My selling isn't quite up to the level that would enable me to make this a full-time career, but it can easily get there if I keep selling. I'm also not sure if where else besides TCGplayer I should list singles and bulk to offload cards. Eventually I would like a brick and mortar store to accompany the online.
I was lucky and found this location, but I feel like there is more depth out there for locations like mine than people realize. You don't have to have a retail location, even if you are eventually wanting one, you don't have to start with one
+1 for Napoleon Dynamite reference
😂 glad someone noticed
Come to Canada I’d sell 300k bulk magic cards to you! Literally not worth me shipping in Canada
Hmm....
So I know the margins are thin on bulk sometimes. I have a question. So when you sell online on tcgplayer how do you not get hammered for taxes later? Like if you bought say $1000 worth of bulk and you sold $2000 dollars worth of bulk through the year.
Can you subtract the $1000 you paid from your taxable income?
In short, yes. I'm not a tax advisor, but inventory costs are costs. Even so, increasing your income by $1000 is very unlikely to cost you much in the way of income taxes
I have 10, 000 common un common pokemon cards, is there any chance your interested?
Sure 😁 shoot me an email to tcgbulkkings@gmail.com
I just started buying bulk how does yt know that?
The real algorithm is the friends you made along the way
@@TCGBulkKings Any friends of mine would themselves need be algorithms. A bifurcating set of algorithmic friends making more and more friends, branching haphazardly until a turbulent phase shift leads to Fractal Friendship Final Forrme (psa 7).
@@rockslidetcgs yeah, I hear those are a tough grade 😂
are you still selling bulk
Yup, check out my website www.tcgbulkkings.com
@@TCGBulkKings I did but you guys sold out?
@@leekichang8359 it's only available to paid members from Friday night to Sunday night, as I upload new inventory to the bulk on Friday night. You should be able to see what's available if you're logged in 👍 if it's not working, let me know at tcgbulkkings@gmail.com
