    Great video! Here’s a bonus tip. . .don’t bother printing your label on a label maker, print it directly on the envelope. Most printers have an “envelope” setting so you can just print direct to the envelope.

      @@TRIKESportsCardshey I know it’s been 2 years. But I still can’t figure this out- the only way my cards get attention is if I promote them, which when I’m selling 100$+ cards, takes around 20% off. It’s just never worth it for me. Any way to fix this?

    I agree with everything you said except about the amount of money you can make. If you put in the time an effort you can absolutely make as much as a full time job. Now obviously everyone’s opinion of the amount of money you make with a full time job will be different. For example I’m sure a lot your subscribers are making $400-$600 a week and that’s 40 hours a week. You can most certainly make that especially if they use the exact steps that you showed with the scanner, the listing the card from someone else’s listing and investing in a label printer which all save a huge amount of time. Great Video! 🤙

    Hey, just another tip on the ebay envelope, is that it includes tracking so instead of getting refund requests for low dollar cards that don't arrive, as long as you ship it, it goes on the post office if they lose it.

  • @perryengland1574
    @perryengland1574 2 года назад +9

    One thing to add to this is, you must list a few things at least everyday. I have noticed when I do list I get more traffic and sells. When I go a few days or a week even my sells drop off! Very good video, I think investing in a feed type document scanner may increase your efficiency as well!

  • @GelatosLottos
    @GelatosLottos Год назад +1

    love the instructional video!! only qualm I have is the way you're showing people how to ship. Using a top loader in an envelop is the WORST way to send a card. First off, the post office sends them thru a machine, ive seen too many instances where the card was eaten up and permanantly bent because of that. bubble mailers with proper protection is the way to go. If you HAVE to cut those shipping costs, use CARD SAVERS not TOP LOADERS....either way your spending money, but card savers dont have rigid siding, so they go thru the machines better.

    The part that confused me was when you said you use the scanner to take pictures of four cards at a time, and there is no cropping. Well, if there are four cards per scan, wouldn’t you need to crop that photo to sell as individual listings?

    • @ResellerNiche
      @ResellerNiche 2 года назад +1

      @@ffbuddyguy8159 I think you were talking to me, so if you weren't sorry I just thought I'd answer. I'm very new to card selling. Got in this June after I saw a lot of people trying to sell and I LOVE a down market. Only problem was that I haven't really looked at cards since 1992. lol. It's going ok, I got burned a few times buying junk wax, which is what I had in my garage anyway, so I just have more of it now. I would say this channel was really good because it didn't talk only about million dollar cards, it covered the basics. I probably list about 50-100 cards a day and it's super fast. I know some people buy scanners to speed up the process, I'm not buying enough to make that make sense. My goal is to only buy cards with card profits. I didn't start like that, I probably put in a $1000 because like I said I only had junk wax. The cliche is true though, go with what you enjoy. I'll stop here because I can go on forever. To answers your question though, it's going well, I'm basically breaking even right now but growing slowly. 1. Pick your card niche. 2. Buy a thermal printer as soon as you can as it will save on ink and printer paper in the long run. 3. Pick your place to sell, I like eBay, but there are many places. 4. Set a budget for buying. 5. Do some research. Compare eBay prices to wherever else you may be buying from, this will give you an idea of how cheaply you can buy for. I sell more than just cards, the money is usually made when you buy. 6. Visit a card shop/card show (I'm still yet to go to a show myself!!!) Use the research you did earlier on eBay to see what they sell things for. 7. Enjoy yourself and take everything you see and hear with a grain of salt. Everything I do seems to adjust daily because I'm so new, so I'm sure others will have more knowledge than I do, so make some contacts and talk to people. Good luck and have fun!

I can't wrap my head around some of the crap pictures people post on eBay of their product and the prices that they're asking for something so poorly represented. So many eBay sellers are just lazy and don't want to put forth the effort to be or look professional.
