Selling Japanese Pokémon Card Singles - Pokémon Business
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- This week is a little different because I'm primarily selling Japanese Pokémon card singles. If you know me, you know that I specialise more in sealed product such as booster boxes, decks or sealed packs, so this is a little new to me. Usually when I get pokemon cards in, they're from people online in Japan and they're more often than not in terrible condition. This time, I went through my supplier who had contacts at a local store and bought in "bulk". Now we can talk about the definition of bulk all day long, but for this scenario I considered it bulk.
In this video I wanted to talk about why buying in bulk is better for your business. If I bought only one card, I would be paying $20 on that one card for shipping, and quite obviously lose money. However, I bought 102 cards and that brought the shipping down to $0.83 per card, which isn't too bad. It isn't GREAT but it isn't bad either.
Furthermore, this is a more relatable video for a lot of you. I know a lot of my videos talk about buying booster boxes and such from suppliers, and it quite simply isn't feasible to you. This one is more tailored to people who have less cash to spend. I spent just over $250 for all of those cards, which includes 3 day shipping from Japan (remember you can cut costs quite significantly by doing airmail which is 2-3 weeks longer but much cheaper).
Thanks for watching as always!
Sees all the beautiful old backs *contacts supplier* please buy me more
🤣🤣
Admittedly a good video, however how does the average person access japanese markets and establish contacts like you clearly have from watching this video.
Middleman services, request services such as Otuskai, searching on IG. Use a wide range of services to get products
@@PokeJebel What is Otuskai?
Awesome video! How to you find these sellers to buy cheap cards?
Where do you buy theses sir, please let me know
The Title is "Selling Japanese Pokémon Card Singles" where is that information?
This is definitely what I want to try next, the Japanese art work is just sooo much better! Lovely cards Jebels!
Thank you Josh!
Bro that intro bangs
Where did you buy the singles from? Is it a website? or do you actually have someone in Japan to buy them from their stores?
Thanks
I have a supplier I buy from in Japan, they go to local stores and use local sites which I can't access and send things to me once or twice a week
So, I love your videos but I would love a video that showed the process. Start with you sourcing the cards, packs, boxes. Then the shipping process. Following my how you organize them and list them. Finally the profit and loss of what you listed. Like, a month in your shoes with actual numbers.
Great idea, I will definitely think on the best way to do that without boring you all to death. I'll get on that!
that is some sexy Japanese bundles. 89c a holo is a steal. always had a soft spot for that nidoking from gym series.great bundle to. buy man. got to love a spreadsheet, this journey from now to back when makes me cry with joy, keep going !
Thanks for watching my king, just trying to make my collection 1% as good as yours 🤣😅
Where is the best place I can go to sell my Japanese Pokémon singles?
I would say eBay is the best spot right now
You’re killing it you’re nearly at 3K this is just outstanding
Thanks so much bro
Excellent, another really interesting and informative video. Thanks Jebel.
You said Scizor right in this video, the way you said it in the other video was like you were starting to say Psy-duck opposed to Scissors idk if i explained that right, and i didn't really care i just found it funny
Thank you 😅
I like how people think they can just get a hook up from a japanese supplier so they can spend under 500 on singles...it doesnt work like that 😂😂
I work where these cards arrive to be sold
If you wish i can deal with you in more reasonable price!!!????
Great to see you back how u been?
Video way too long. Literally had everything you said in video put in the description box. just going on and on about the same thing
Where do you buy from please want to know appreciate your videos
Do you still have a Sabrina Alakazam? Im tryna get that card but I dont have much money
Absolutely insane my friend!! You are killing it and I am so proud 🤩 Can’t wait to see more!
Thank you Mitch! Really appreciate your support bro, means a lot
can i pretty please be introduced to your supplier my bro ?
To be honest my friend they are a proper steel for that price to think they are that old
great videos, where do you buy these singles from please?
How did you find your supplier and do you pay him
How/where do you resell the cards?
Do cards become worth more once PSA rated? I bought a few japanese booster boxes and got some cards that i see selling for 100s or more in a PSA 10, how difficult is it to sell them, am i doing the right thing buying a box, getting the nice cards then reselling them?
It’s not guaranteed but generally PSA 9-10s are worth more than ungraded cards. Usually you have to be picky choosing the cards to get graded. Not every hyper rare is worth something. Cards which are inherently rare are usually worth more. So be careful what you grade
Yo bro I feel privileged to be the first one
誤商品 goshouhin - means its mistaken merchandise
Hey man, great video as always! I myself have been trying to get in contact with a Japanese supplier for old back cards, but I’m not sure where I should start looking. Any advice?
Instagram! That is where I've found all of mine
That Nido is a beautiful CoroCoro exclusive 😍 some phenomenal cards here man, I'm still looking for a Japanese gym Scyther to complete my holo set for gym 👀
CoroCoro exclusives are so so cool. Keeping that Nidoking for sure
i think its like (size or)
Hey man, I’ve recently taken the leap and started a Instagram page and the community has been really kind. Don’t worry I’m not trying to self plug. Great video! You’re the reason I’m actually taking Pokémon card reselling semi seriously ❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome to hear! :)
Where to sell?
Awesome lot. Hey man seems like you have a great system down . Strive to get there sometime in the near future. I took your advice about the fb groups . Wow over saturated is a understatement lol. Still going to keep searching for that magical lot to buy and flip. Keep up the hard work.
Thanks as always my man 🙏
where are you buying these? the prices on ebay are much higher and i dont want to buy from there
I want those gyarados
Hot damn boi almost 3k subs 🥳🥳🥳
Wooooo!! 😊
First time checking out the channel!! We recently opened a Tag Team GX booster box and we had such a fun time.
These prices your getting are absolutely insane, $250 for all these cards is mindblowing. I literally feel like I need to stop spending any money on pokemon cards until I get a Japanese supplier. Love the channel but damn dude this hurts to watch. Seeing these prices makes me feel like I've massively overpaid for every Japanese holo I've ever bought.
Please let me know if you find anything!
Problem is that they’re only cheap in japan. English is crazzzzy expensive in japan compared to here and Japanese is crazy expensive here compared to japan. Just the way it is with shipping and import costs unfortunately
Is your supplier an English speaker?
Yes, fluent English! Excellent guy
I got into trying to find vintage japanese and went to my local card store and found no rarity symbol cards for 25 cents and a bunch of other vintage japanese cards for 25 cents. I got really luck with also finding some banned cards too!
Woahhh, no rarity for that cheap? That’s insane
@@PokeJebel yeah it was crazy I got a no rarity sabrina's gaze and a bunch of others. The sabrina's gaze was the best. I got a sabrina's gaze with a rarity symbol that I am looking to get graded and it looks like a solid 8 or 9.
😃
So the biggest hurdle seems to be getting the contact in japan lol how do we do this?
Sy-Zor is how you pronounce Scizor
Lifesaver!
ighttt do you think japanese tag team gx all stars will hold their value?
I do, Japanese exclusive sets are something I really think are good investments.
@@PokeJebel thanks channels epic, good chilled vibes
Thanks for the video.
Read the comments and liked your IG suggestion to look for contacts.
I found some stores, but their prices are very close to ebay prices. I presume you don't buy from such stores?
How do you determine if seller is overprices and good priced? I bet many these days are focused on wester market and price accordingly. So forth not much margin left after postage, tax etc.
Thanks
I say SIZE-or. But I feel like people should call pokemon whatever they want to call em.
You should do a 30$ challenge like Arboks den that would be interesting you’re videos still 🔥🔥🔥 tho
Also one more thing for clarification.
This is not the actual shops which sends you cards? or you have a person who goes to these shops and buys cards and then sends them to you. Thank you
I just saw a video about a Japanese VS set?? Is that something you've ever messed with?
I would think base set japanese cards would be worth more. Maybe I need to wait another 25 years lol
How would you recommend finding those connections/distributors? It’s fairly difficult on Instagram to find people who will go out of their way to find you cards
hey you know Japanese base set when you a have holo thats a stage 1 or 2 evolution. you know you have the box in the top left that shows which pokemon card it evolves from when you can barely see the bit that overlaps on the holo artwork is it fake card please help if you can.
@PokeJebel any chance I can buy directly from you? If so where would I go to do that
I’ll buy some of those nidokings. Been looking for the extra one you got actually.
Do you need a distributor to buy these singles from Japan?
Hey Jebel. Love this video. In your opinion, why do you think that 1st edition isn't as big a deal in Japan as in US?
How do you get a Japanese supplier
What is your ebay store?
Hey where did u buy them?
Where can we buy from you?
Contact me on IG @pokejebel
So no ebay at all?
No eBay at all! I honestly haven;t bought anything Pokemon related from eBay in two months. The only thing I get from eBay at the moment are shipping and card supplies - everything else is too expensive
Love these videos! :D
