^^^ These videos are great for beginners!! ^^
The title and thumbnail play a huge role, but honestly, we just want to see how real people in this hobby exit the 9 to 5 and run a successful business. Everyone dreams of doing it, but are scared and don't know how.
It's not really about advice, but more a curiosity of how someone else is doing it. And your laid back and humble approach is refreshing to watch. Transparency goes a long way too. I like how you can show big numbers without bragging about it. I'm new to the channel, but I'll be sticking around.
If I had a video request, it would be more stuff like this. Show how you do different things no matter how small.
appreciate the comment, i'll keep making a few of these over the next month, see how we go :)
I like these longer style videos. I put it on either while I'm working or when playing a game. Works for me.
awesome, enjoy.
I think the reason people (or at least I did) started watching your video is because you're just a chill guy sharing your way of getting into the hobby and trying to make it into something more. No bs, just feels genuine. Also, you have a good podcast voice/vibe haha.. keep going bro :))
For sure, I have my faults I'm sure but if people get a benefit from these then there's no reason not to do them
I love these types of videos because they work great to have on while I am sorting or pre-grading/condition checking cards.
Glad you like them!
Love these long videos to play in the background while I sort cards and make listings. Recently started selling a lot more singles too and you're right about it being so much more fulfilling. It's much more of a time grind, but I find analyzing the singles much more interesting than graded cards. With graded it feels like everyone's sort of after the same high value cards and usually only purchasing one item at a time, but when someone buys mass singles from you and you see the type of collector they are, it just feels so much more wholesome and less money driven.
perfectly said, feels like you can connect between seller/collector rather than someone just buying a PSA 10 card for a few thousand, sure its monetary good, but empty feeling.
I just started watching and 10 minutes in I'm just amazed how nonchalantly you go through all the base holos and putting them in piles without any plastic sleeves on 🤣
I sometimes miss doing this, maybe one day I’ll get back to flipping for fun. Nice vid
I've always loved every style of content you created Z. At this point for us the base money has been made, just do what you enjoy the most now
Kudos to you for sticking through the teasing and jokes. Collecting in this hobby alone, we’re always prone to that stuff; hell the roots of our hobby are surrounded by the bullied and the outcast. People forget just how much of a niche being a nerd used to be. But trying to make a business out of it still isn’t something people take seriously, so huge respect to you for sticking it out and reaping the benefits of your success 🙏 always great seeing your videos Steve
Haha its not that bad, I have a good life so no random comment is going to get me down, and my yt channel is for my enjoyment mainly, so it's not like its a dire need for it to be good
Listening to your videos while sorting cards is very carthartic.
I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing but I'll take it
Came across the video that popped and really enjoyed it. I don’t really collect pokemon anymore but still find my self watching the vids! 👍🏻
Awesome. Glad I could provide something of value to you
I like the long form content, I put it on when I’m cleaning the house or on the subway to work. I’m a collector and sell some on eBay nothing major. Buts it’s very cool and helpful to hear your stories and perspectives. I hope you become the king of plush in Australia!
awesome, i hope so too, i love the plushy
The best thing to remember and/or consider if you ever take a sponsorship is to only ever take one on if you've actually used the product and believe in it. But I agree, always best to just sponsor yourself.
And there isn't anyone out there who is better than you who is charging money for what you give away for free.
I also think the best way to learn is to just DO. Even someone listening to your videos and mistakes will only really learn how to sell cards and run a store successfully by actually doing it and learning from their mistakes.
strongly agree, but im fortunate enough not to need a monetary boost from my YT channel, so i can just be me for now.
Sorting cards while watching Steve sort cards, perfect. 😛
Amazing
Hey Steve, I've watched/listened to this video a couple times. Really enjoying the longer sorting videos. Thank you for sharing your story. I would watch/listen to as many of these as you want to make. Awesome stuff! Thanks again, and greetings from Michigan 👋😎
Beast. I'll have to make some more since you enjoyed it so much
Steve can we get an order packing video? I enjoyed the how to ship video and curious what kinda orders you get on the daily. Excellent content btw.
He did one fairly recently :)
@@mattv2834 what one? I went back 2 months
Np. I have a whole bunch similar, sometimes it's harder to do as I need to concentrate when I pack them lmao
@@PokemonSteven keep up the great content 👏
I just started watching and 10 minutes in I'm just amazed how nonchalantly you go through all the base holos and putting them in piles without sleeves on 🤣 I'd have been trembling during the whole sorting process
lmao, they need to be unsleeved first for me to sort and condition check, and then we take photos and resleeve, majority of these are played or worse, so theres no concerns on damaging the cards :)
Hit 3k blinked and nearly 5K congrats
yeah wtf lmao, so wild, so many comments, fingers hurting from replying LOL
I dont sell Pokemon cards and I know nothing about this business but I am a professional sports bettor and I just wanted to say how much I can related to what you said about people teasing you when you start doing something that is not considered normal... I quit my job 5 years ago and never looked back
glad to see what you did has worked out for you. i know what it feels like for people to doubt you when you start something early on
Hey Steve, love these sort & talk videos. I'm also sorting bulk as I watch this ahaha keep up the good work!
glad you enjoyed
Great video! I looked the full video and play games ;) Thx for all your advice!
Glad I could help!
Maybe I should buy a few smaller bulk to test the water here, the older card were sold for cents each but I think I could drive up the price for maybe 10 cents by using a cheap plastic sleeve so that it won't be damaged since a common with a good art is a good card.
for sure, lots of small dollars to be made
New subscriber. Great video. I love going through/sorting cards and selling them part time. I got a great job and a family. This is like a little fun hobby. Keep up the great work.
awesome, good luck with your family and success =]
CollectorBoner Word of the day, PS thanks for the content massive inspiration big love from the uk
No problem. Glad you enjoyed it
sorting through a stack of heaven omfg
Super interesting stuff! I am an organizer myself and i love to sort. I’m wondering how you buy your bulk and how you can trust a seller.
I think every collector should learn how to properly buy and sell cards its inportant so i think your information helps the whole hobby in a way
I strongly agree, this is why im doing this, to teach people its okay to sell stuff, and build value, and try to come out ahead in the long run.
Steve this video helped me pass the time listing things on eBay thanks my man!
glad it helped you my friend
Searching through Mercari to this video. Very relaxing 🙂
Hope you enjoyed it!
Great content! I would personally break this up and have made it a series would help views!
Good thing I have 150000 cards to sort 😆
I wanna see the pancake video, great work mate 👍
i made it for u
@@PokemonSteven watched it this morning lol very good mate.
lmao im turning into a cooking youtuber@@DBZTCG
Really enjoyed the story, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Love listening to these. Keep it up
Glad you like them!
I have not been watching for a long time! In fact I came with the vid that blew up but I love ur genuine open honest content so I will watch more!
no problem, if i can help just ask
I sorted cards while you were sorting cards. Oh and btw, Japanese Classic set is not the best quality, like you mentioned. I am still gonna try to grade a full PSA 10 set anyway.
for sure, i think PSA 10 is easily obtainable, but for me i can just list the singles and sell them fast and do it that way, theres no perfect way to deal with anything :)
Looking forward to the pancakes and more stories. Love the content mate
on god, you are the idea man, just give me more :P
Great video!! Thanks Yoo!!
np
2 hour vid? What a dream come true 🔥
I enjoy these because of the unfiltered thoughts! Appreciate the work you’re putting in
enjoy it my friend
I liked this video I know it’s not for every1 but the information is great nice lil tidbits here and there
thank you
Exciting you broke through the algorithm with that daily seller vid glad to see it stevey boy. Think of all the sausage rolls you can buy with more views on stuff. Anybody ever told u that u look like lebron james?
yes all the time people think i look like lebron james actually
@@PokemonSteven thank u glad we can agree on that
How do you sell commons and uncommons
slowly
This is going to be one for when I'm sorting the washing out
wheres my washing gang at
Just came from the fancy voice over vid lol
lmao hello
Currently also sorting stuff listening to you haha
we are sorting bros
Absolutely @@PokemonSteven
great vid thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Next video Steven will be wearing GFuel merch from his sponsorship
Video title: How G Fuel Watermelon Lime made me a successful ebay seller (NOT CLICKBAIT)
I actually drink Gfuel every day.
Im still here 1hr 13 mins in lol
I've been wondering the entire video, Why Japanese sets and not english? Or do you just sell all?
I like japanese cards, so thats all i deal with, i think english cards are better to sell though, but i tell people to do stuff you love, and i love japanese cards so i will do them lol
Yeah, i do get that, do what you love man! Passion is for something is everything :D@@PokemonSteven
Guys we knew Steve BEFORE he was famous, POGGERS
OG OMF gang where u at
on god
Great video. You da man
You rock!
@46:23 You need to learn how to take compliments my man, I've noticed this since your first video
Haha probably but I don't really want them lol
Not being able to take a compliment reflects an inability to acknowledge what makes you talented and unique (WHICH YOU DEFINITELY ARE). It's also a signal to others that you feel unworthy and insecure. Because if you don’t appear to believe in yourself, why should anyone else?
@@PokemonSteven
Yay I'm a Pyscho 👑
me too brother
i am NOT a psychopath
i am brother
Are you calling me a psycho!!??
Yes
