    As someone gearing up to start vending at shows, I love seeing the transparency in this! Everything from "oh man we have to rent cases" to "this is what sells and what's not and why". It makes it feel incredibly doable even for an average collector like myself.

    • @gameboidrew
      @gameboidrew 3 месяца назад +5

      that part! it really is doable for most folks, especially if you keep an open mind to feedback and ask a lot of questions. I have been vending for a couple years now and I still learn something new each time. :-)

    10:36 as a vendor and having vended myself, the hard part about conventions is not selling, it’s acquiring product to sell later. The huge money is made in getting good deals on inventory 🙌

      Just did a show this weekend in Nashville. I did about $1,000 in sales, but picked up $4,000 of new inventory (market value) for $2390. Deals on deals all day from people bringing their stuff up to you.

    i’ve done over 20 vending shows and it’s exhausting every time. Takes high organization and energy. Most people the first time are unprepared with all the side things that are helpful to have. After the cost of the table space and taxes profit margins are usually pretty slim. Buying to resale now days in pokemon is not easy and it’s a grind no matter what way you sell. Depending on the show and the turn out it can be worth it if you’re mainly just trying to move the huge inventory, a big pro is no shipping. but trying to travel with high end slabs and buy hotel and rental car etc adds up. also now days many buyers are looking for discounted deals of current low market. every selling avenue has its pros and cons

    • @Infamous159
      @Infamous159 3 месяца назад +2

      I'm not sure most people are expecting below market average prices. I think people buying cards in person anywhere, at a shop, convention, etc. would expect to pay a bit more for the convenience and understanding of the vendor trying to not lose all his money lol. At least that has been my experience recently this year.

    • @Churmander
      @Churmander 3 месяца назад +1

      @@Infamous159 i think it's becoming more prevelant for folks to ask for discount, like "whats the best you can do on this?" and try to negotiate.. most people are cheap and frugile wanting a deal. at the end of the day it's how each vendor prices and works with their customers, it's common in our culture here to haggle a little or have back and fourth to reach agreements, or maybe coin flip lol

    • @chrispan3033
      @chrispan3033 19 дней назад

      @@Churmander Yeah it's common to haggle in all hobbies where you are buying collectibles. Trading cards has always been paired with haggling since the early days of trading with your friends in person before the internet. Of course there are those who don't haggle and only sell based on the market price or whatever price they put on the product, which is perfectly fine if that's what they want to do.

  • @chrispan3033
    @chrispan3033 19 дней назад

    Hope I misheard or it wasn't intended to come out this way but when you are talking about buying and trading from other people you mention it's fun because you know what sells and the prices different products go for so you can buy a $100 product and be confident in flipping it for $150.
    Personally I find this mindset a bit underhanded and crappy, especially at conventions and places where the whole point is to buy, trade, and sell products in person. I'd much rather price it in the middle so the seller gets more than they initially thought the product was worth and I still am able to make a profit after flipping it. Buying something low while knowing it could be sold for a lot more later, but not saying anything so you can maximize profits on the resell is so slimy, especially when you want to make a good community of buyers and sellers.
    Again I hope I misheard your intention in mentioning this and saying arbitrary money values.

    Just gonna throw this out there. Not trying to be a hater but you stated that you sell everything at market value at 22:20, but then at 22:15, most of the alt arts you have listed are way above market??? Where's the transparency in that? I understand that you may be pricing off of multiple sources, but I still find it to be a bit ridiculous, unless people kept low balling you then I understand. Maybe be firm on just actual market price instead of marking up prices to sell at actual market price??? Not trying to be a Karen, but just striving for transparency to build a more transparent hobby when it comes to selling lol.

    • @chrispan3033
      @chrispan3033 19 дней назад

      I noticed that too. Also it might have been me but I thought it was slimy to say he'd buy product from someone for $100 when he knows he can upsell it for $150. That's not being much of a good community member when you are constantly looking to buy product that is underpriced. Haggling is at the foundation of this hobby so meeting somewhere in the middle sounds fair.
