You look like a nice guy who loves his job
You just keep coming with all this great knowledge! Your transparency and dedication is mesmerizing! Thanks again for all that you do for this community!!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for taking the community into consideration first over everything else. 🖤
dude so humble, but so open, my soul is warmer
Should make a playlist for this! Super good info, thank you!
People like you are the reason why I love this Pokemon community. So helpful and informative. Thanks for everything.
Yes please make a follow up video. I have been looking all over for this kind of insight. Thank you!
I like hearing about the business side of things even though I have no interest in being a business person 😁😁
I know this is a few months old but your the best man im trying to start a business and if I make it ill remember you! Thank you for this information.
I watched one of your videos a few months back when I got back into pokemon. I was about to sell my bulk for a booster box. 3 months later I've made a little over a grand, not counting postage, envelopes, sleeves, top loaders, etc. I've mainly sold vintage cards, a dozen or so rares but mainly common, uncommon vintage and trainers. Your videos are awesome and planning on becoming an online retailer soon.
As a collector this whole thing helped me to understand the Pokemonmarket better! At the moment I‘m not thinking about how to make profit out of single boxes, cards or boosterpacks but you explained as good as no one else could! Thanks for that Danny and keep up the good work! Greetings from germany and stay healthy
You presented all the information needed to start a business. It's very circumstantial for where you live so there is so much you can do there. Like you said there must be a love for what your doing to be successful.
He was just 14 his parents built a very strange machine. Then he took a look inside of it there was a great big flash everything just changed his molecules got all rearranged He’s a phantom, gotta catch em all cause he’s DANNY PHANTOM
I love that Goku posted this.
?
Danggggggggg bro your videos get me hyped!!!!!! I just launched my channel on the first and I can’t get enough!!! So much fun and energy!!!!! Keep on collecting!!!!!
I really respect you for helping us understand the business aspect of it all. I am serious about the TCG and I really want to start up a business with pokemon cards. You're awesome for what you do! 😁
I’d love to buy sealed booster boxes through this guy, I collect sealed ones and the amount of resealing going on is insane and they’re insanely good at deceiving ppl. Wouldn’t mind paying a bit more to know that it’s factory sealed.
I've recently started exactly what you're talking about (in Australia). Margins are indeed razor thin and competition is wild; I wouldn't advise someone starting this if you think you're gonna make bank from day one. You need to work at it constantly, build solid relationships with suppliers and do everything you can to keep customers happy. They key is I love Pokemon so I find it enjoyable to stay tuned in to what the latest sets are and why they are/aren't selling. I also collect for myself so that can be a big bonus if you enjoy what you sell/are involved in!
This guy is good. Loved Pokemon growing, good see you making so many people happy
I would love to do this for my personal collection.. I keep having to pay over retail to regular retailers.
I actually enjoy your videos because you seem very real. Keep your website up, I like what you’re going for with prices and would really recommend your site from what I saw. I’ll be doing business with you soon!
Hey Danny, thanks for following us on Instagram really appreciate it man. Just subscribed keep it up !
Thank you for the honesty! I haven't seen a poketuber talk about the wholesale business aspect of it. Subbed!
This is the guy to purchase from. You want to purchase trust-worthy packs and support someone who cares about the consumer base, this guy is the guy to support! Just purchased 10 champion path packs from The Colosseum. Can't wait to see my pulls!
You're really inspiring me to get this going. I've been buying packs for a while now and just started debating on selling. Your tips have helped me lean towards starting up a store even if it doesn't grow as big as I'd like it to.
Keep up the great work. I see stores with empty shelves. Im a trucker. When I see that they had some in stock and none are there. It means even distributors are struggling to get product on the shelf. I wouldnt be surprised if distributors stop distributing to walmarts that let people steal the cards.
man I've just started getting into this and you just made so many things so so simple I thank you my friend
As a hobbyist, would getting a license be a good way to save money if I like opening product? Do distributors look at how much you're selling/is there a limit to how much you can open from your orders?
Bro the way you just drop knowledge on people even though you have done all the leg work is amazing..thank you for all you do!!!🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤
Much love from the UK you've really helped get me through lockdown.
I'm happy a found this video and your website. I would happily rather support someone like you than a major business!
just found this channel, and it is so much fun to watch and so much to learn. keep it going. much kudos from a sealed collector from Norway.
Just checked your website and subscribed! Love the site and your pricing is literally less than half of what I see on other places 😳
Can you readdress the topic of starting up a storefront with the current climate of Pokémon and supply chain issues etc. just a 2022 version of the same video? Maybe more in depth? I’d watch a 20 minute break down for sure! Keep up the great work and thanks for all the info!
I've been working on trying to set up a business and your videos have been extremely helpful!
Was referred to your channel by a friend, thank you for the insight very very useful information.
Thanks Justin!
Been debating asking you these questions in DM for quite a while. Wasn't sure if it was appropriate or if I would be stepping on toes by asking, thank you so much for sharing! Cannot wait until part 2
This was super informative! Im personally in it for the hobby and the community. Awesome stuff!
How do you balance work life with personal life? Your dedication is amazing!
I’ve been trying my best to leave my phone in my bedroom when I get home from work so I have time to spend with my family for a few hours. Then after the kids go to bed I hit the grind!
I know the video is old, but thanks a lot! I've always wanted to start a business and pokemon interests me the most
You are growing so quick! Thank you for all the information. Your so appreciated.
Awesome that you're in Wisconsin. Ill definitely have to get a booster box from you soon.
Danny I love this, thank you so much. I love pokemon so much and I have always wanted to start a business, I love the collecting and money aspect in this it hits a spot in me that makes me so happy. Thank you for the info to help my pokemon business journey!!
Man I love how you explain things so well, keep up the great videos I learn so much from every video I am pretty new to Pokémon so you are very helpful, Thanks 🙏
Thanks fam :)
Thank you Danny ! Really look up to you for all the information, I’m really excited to get my business started in the future like I can’t wait I think about it everyday and I know it’s going to be really hard and a grind but I am willing to work days and nights to get my business successful very thankful for this video !
I subbed because I am thinking of doing this. Thank you for your information and time!
Another good one man, a different type of video when it comes to Pokemon TCG. Pulls are great but whats all that behind the pulls amirite? Love your work, keep it up, hope to buy from colo sometime soon !
I'd say the 5 year mark is where u can start crushing when the sets go up huge in value and you have cases sitting around
small businesses do not have the capital to wait for price appreciation, which is not a guarantee anyways
Super helpful info. Thank you. Appreciate it you taking the time to share this. It’s really helping with me with research I’m doing to sell TCG cards
I’ve actually seen your posts on my Instagram explore page! Glad I stumbled across your youtube channel in my recommended!
same!
Great video. I learned a few things that I didn’t know before. What distributors will actually sell to you without a B&M? In my experience a lot of distributors won’t even talk to you until you send pictures of your store.
Following for an answer. A lot of this business really feels like a who you know kinda thing without opening a B&M, so this would be a very helpful starting point.
This is the most informative and interesting vid I´ve seen so far yet. I am in the process to look for distributors, which are delivering to Turkey (Istanbul) at same time. Its kinda pain in the butt but there is high demand for TCGs in Turkey. So next spring/summer 21 I am definetely going to open a store about TCGs and other merch articles. THIS VID IS JUST GREAT ..... I appreciate your efforts of making this video :)))
This is the first video I see on your channel and it was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much. Got yourself a new subscriber.
I have a small business myself, sole proprietorship in industrial resale, and selling Pokémon cards through distributors and resellers is the exact same thing I do with my business, except its industrial equipment such as hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, valves, pumps, adhesive, filters etc.
I’ve been looking for something else to do for more income and this is perfect. Not sure if I need another tax ID though, I might if its a different company name. Anyways, thank you for the info and look out for a new reseller in west TX. GO! PACK! GO!
you're just a kind dude. thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Love the transparency in your videos and all the useful information
Loved this video and I’m excited to watch your other stuff. I have seen you on instagram for awhile and I totally respect all the hard work I see you do
I like the hustle, I've been doing the same. I work for my salary Monday-Friday then I hustle after work weekends and all night. Liked and subscribed for more info, I'm ready to learn from you
Amazing stuff.......It is a total grind in the beginning but can be well worth it.
This is the video I have been looking for for a really really REALLY long time
have been held back by stores telling me i need a brick and mortar store...selling through tcgplayer..wanted to start my dream. grading selling cards.. thanks for the helpful info
Love this video, Danny - super interesting. I think people who aren't involved with distributors see them as mysterious figures since not many people talk about them. So thanks for that info, and thanks for the brutal honesty of telling us how difficult it is.
Thanks so much!
I'm in the process of getting my business license and will get the re seller permit! Exciting times.
I looked up the websites of the distributors listed and there was only a couple that were A. Accepting applications B. Working with online retailers. Hopefully one of them will be willing to work with me, once I get everything set up.
Thanks for this I def subscribing. I’ve been reselling for about 2 years and I’ve been interested in this for awhile
Thanks Danny! Your videos are out of this world with value and behind the scenes insight. Thank you for taking the time to make these man!
crazy how thin the margins on most wholesale products pokemon is a great way to start off and grow into other realms of business
Didn't skip the ads so ya get a full hit :)
How are you able to offer free shipping given the razor thin margins and the cost of shipping and supplies?
He personally walks to every single persons house, good cardio though!
@@stephenward2743 LOL
@@stephenward2743 Such a serious question that I hope get's a serious answer soon.
@@charlesa3505 post is negotiable so are distributor prices depending on how much you are purchasing. Shipping is calculated into your cost of goods. Shipping isnt free it is just attached to the up front cost.
Hey Collin- depending on your volume you eventually get a pretty good discount on shipping. Working for UPS it all depends on the amount you're shipping. More than likely starting out you aren't going to meet those requirements. My advice is to factor that cost of shipping into it. A lot of people don't have the ability to eat that cost of shipping. Maybe incentivize if they spend X amount with you they get free shipping. I would maybe look into Pirate Ship. They offer a good service to use with USPS as I know a lot of people can't afford using UPS/FEDEX. Good luck!
Really helpful!! You know, I really dig your channel Danny Phantup! I really am happy I stumbled upon your channel!!
Could I recommend using some graphics/visuals to explain your idea? It helps me to actually see the things you're talking about. Great info in the video though!
Yeah I really struggled on what to use with this one, but it’s definitely something I need to start including more in my videos. I just need to spend the time to get things set up better. Thanks so much for the advice!
@@DannyPhantump If you need help with editing, let me know! I've been an editor for years and could help you :)
Lol can you tell that I’m not good at it at all!
@@DannyPhantump Hahah no not at all! Your video/audio quality and lighting is also great which is a huge factor. But if you want any fancier editing, feel free to DM me on Instagram @trainer_shinja :)
Thanks for the video Danny! Keep it up! Really good to see more from you on the topic of how to get into selling!
Thanks for the info! I’m on this tomorrow. If they haven’t changed yet! 🙏🏼
Awesome information Bro . It is definitely a grind and building relationship is the key
I have been researching cards for like 6 months and finally started a UA-cam channel about 2 months ago opening packs. Very interested in becoming a reseller for Pokemon cards and am curious more about the financial aspects. Would definitely check out another video on this!
So cool, going to check out your channel!
Danny - this was a great video.. keep them coming. I know i have always been interested in this because it has always been a hobby, but i appreciate you sharing all your knowledge!!
Great information! You are just amazing Danny and such a wonderful person helping all the collectors out there. Thank you so much!
I've been looking for a good video to help me with this. Great information, thank you!
First time watching ur channel content was great lots of great start up information. Much appreciated 🙏
Thanks for the great information. Can you please give more information about this. I really appreciate it
We get some ccg products from southern hobby supply. They have a warehouse in St.Louis where our store is located. They have been great and some stuff randomly comes through
Great video! This is awesome and I'm sure the grind is real. I'd be curious of what are the numbers or profits one could see after 5 years of slinging cards. Also how you re sorting and what toy do with bulk.
This video is epic, please keep these going! I just started on a much smaller scale but this can be the key to really ramping up!
That’s awesome!
I have been looking for exactly this! Thank you 🙏
Lots of information indeed. Keep up the great work Danny!
It is a shame because as I get older I've been looking for something I can do full time during my early retirement. I've collected since 1999, I sell my vintage extras, buy a few cards here and there. I purchase a few booster boxes -- one to open, and the others to sell (IF the price is right), and just tired of fighting with all the scalpers out there. I WANT to put that time in and try this, but no distributor is going to accept me because I do not have a brick and mortar store. It is a shame because I could make this work, but refuse to get a business loan to get a store front -- just to order from a distributor. It is a shame that others had to ruin it for us.
I really want to do this! Thanks for the content man. Currently selling singles so I’ve a long way to go.
I must say you gave me A LOT of things to think about still leaning to not worth it though.profit margins are to low for the first few years most times till print runs stop. Great video keep them up
When will you be selling the hidden fates EBT that is restocking? I would much rather buy from you!
wonder if you would make a follow up video to this? because of the boom that has built up since this video, most of these distributors are not currently working w online only sellers...which make sense, since they are wanting to ensure that local card/hobby shops and their bigger chains have access to the cards. definitely interesting to hear the thoughts of starting to get into Pokemon sales now in the current 2021 climate vs near end of 2020. and it being the 25th anniversary this year isnt helping either, as a lot of nostalgia will probably tried to be pushed
Loved it! Where the next one?
Great learning video. I'm also from Wisconsin. Definitely gonna consider ordering from you. Knowing it will arrive quick
Man thank you for being so transparent!
Really just don't want to get ripped off trying to share the experience with my kid 😂😭
Thank you, you just gave me an excellent idea on how to grow my Pokechannel, keep up the good work !
These vid was really well done. Hope there’s a part 2. Subscribing now
i had to go back and check. but this is the video i first watched and subscribed to your channel on.
thanks bro answered so many questions i always wanted to start but never knew how
Really good info I’ve been telling my wife I really wanna pursue my hobby in collecting and I do want to start up shop and this will definitely help out as I have been talking to distributors prior to getting a license and resell permit tax id but I will definitely get those before proceeding I just bought a booster box of the new shiny v and woulda loved to get a good deal on it as I want to start doing live breaks
Dang bro, I’ve never thought about how the TCG industry works. Talk about a tough sell for wanting to get into it
super informational, are you down for a zoom call to just chat about starting up a business to get those "boring" details? lol i would love to see those details. i'm also in the midwest and want to make meaningful connections!
This is great man, your content is amazing. I'm very interested in this path. Thank you!
danny is one of the only no bs pokemon youtubers 👍
