Taking a Second Look at Quicklist for TCGplayer with My New Scanner | Scanner Workflow Part 2

- I had to reshoot this one twice you guys, so I really hope this gets most of the info across to you all while still being mostly interesting ^.^ This is me explaining how I'm currently set up to use the new scanner with TCGplayer Quicklist to add my inventory to my TCGplayer store quickly and accurately. I like this tool better than a card sorting machine for a couple reasons: 1) it's considerably cheaper, and is very much something attainable and useable by any seller at any level of skill or any size business; 2) it takes a subtle but large amount of mental load off of me compared to that cost. I hope you all enjoy this video, and if you have any questions or tips, please feel free to share them in the comments.

Hey man, I just hit lvl 4 today after a month of working my butt off and Im so freaking excited. I just want to thank you for all of the videos you have provided to the community of sellers. I would love to have a conversation with you sometime to bounce a few of my ideas off of someone who clearly is a leader in this industry. I have a lot of respect for you bulk king. Thank you so much again.
That's really humbling, thank you for your kind words. And C O N G R A T S!!
Nice update on your workflow
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Hey tcgbulkkings, i decided to try out using a scanner after watching your videos, picked up a fujitsu 6130Z for about $50 that im waiting for in the mail, will update you on it in case you decide to upgrade to an inexpensive higher end scanner! Did a lot of research before buying, seems like it gets the job done rather efficient
Yeah I've heard great things about the newer ones, I just wanted to make sure I had something that could do both CDP and QuickList, but I'm certainly interested in hearing how yours goes 🦾🦾🦾
Following this thread because I'd like to know too. Does the 6130Z work with Quicklist? If so, and if you can get the 6130Z scanning without any kind of consistent scratching, I'd really like to know how. I tried to follow the instructions on how Chase modified the S1500, but I think I ruined my device. I need to replace the pick roller cover, at the very least, haha.
@@FaryaWolyo_ as far as I've heard, the fi series doesn't work with QL, but I haven't had one to test with personally, and there's very little documentation or info about all of this out there
@@TCGBulkKings I love my 6130Z - I have scanned over 40k cards and I've had no issues
@@RogerAdams86 dude how did you get Quicklist to recognize scanner??? having a tough time.
Thanks for sharing bro, I saw the card scanner vids a couple weeks ago but didn’t watch them and have just continued to scan stuff in from my trays. After seeing this, I appreciate your opinion - it definitely looks at least a hair faster overall, but absolutely far less mentally monotonous (still monotonous lol) then double / triple checking quantities, and sets, in the middle of scanning stuff in 😅 and as you mentioned, avoids user errors when listing, which end up being costly or embarrassing (having to fulfill or cancel orders 😢) on the back end, if there’s any errors listing manually. I’ll definitely consider one of these if I continue to ramp up my bulk in take
Yeah, it's definitely a little quicker, and very helpful with the consistency, which is harder to pin down the value added, but when you think of it as reducing the risk of problems on the back end, it becomes much clearer of a positive thing
@@TCGBulkKings absolutely a beautiful way of phrasing it - couldn’t have said it better. It’s a serious consideration for me if I continue pursuing bulk, tbh. Just the sheer ease of eliminating most back end problems, honestly seems worth it in most applications
Great video. Something I’ve wanted to do for a while with my scanner. How do you get quicklist to recognize the scanner since it’s not a camera. Thank you!
TCGplayer we're developing using scanners with QL in the past, apparently a particular series of Fujitsu ScanSnap machines are compatible. When you hook up the right kind of scanner, out will give you the option to switch to the scanner in the settings
Are you concerned with the slight increase in postage coming?
Not really, tbh. Of course, any amount of savings I can get is good, but this shipping increase is and should be a relatively small hit compared to other costs
Would you recommend this over using the pricing tab to list cards?
I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to start my bulk business. I finally made it into TCG player direct and can’t wait for what’s to come next. Thank you!
Congrats on getting into Direct, that's a big milestone and level-up! Personally, I'm liking this over the Pricing tab, not because it's so much quicker, but because it's a significantly lower mental load, so the friction for me is lower, meaning I'm more likely to get around to doing it
Would you do a video on the mass price feature on the pro side?
I would like this as well. Thanks Chase!
Also could you do an up close shot of the stuff you did to the wheels of the scanner? Thanks!
That's a great idea! I'll do this soon
And this would likely be a great short video
Hey tcgbulkkings. I just recently picked up the S1500 and cant find the driver to install onto my computer. Do I need one or will tcg quicklist run without it?
It's less of a traditional driver. If you get the software called "ScanSnap Manager from the Ricoh website ( www.pfu.ricoh.com/global/scanners/scansnap/discontinued/s1500/s1500.html#idsoftware ) it will work for you and integrate with QuickList (at least, it did just fine for me)
@@TCGBulkKings Thanks I got it to work! Pretty awesome to say the least
@@mattthomas1758You got it to work without scratching? I'm stuck in a pickle trying to get my own to work. I'm trying to reproduce what Chase talks about; scanning it multiple times without scratches, but I can't even get 3-4 scans on the same card without lines of some kind, despite rigorous sanding... Do you have any info you could share?
@@FaryaWolyo_ I didn't do anything inside to the scanner. I did a 200 card test and all my cards had no lines or scratches. Might just be the scanner. Sorry I couldn't be of any help
@@mattthomas1758That's alright, thanks anyways. Going to keep trying with mine, or try out the ix500. Hoping to get this working somehow.
Whoa, this is neat. I've been using quicklist with a document scanning camera, which worked alright... I'm really interested in trying this though. I imagine I'll have to do a lot of work to get the scanner in good shape to do this. Do you know what the part was for the roller that needed replacing in the 1500? Just in case I need to replace it, don't want to accidentally buy the wrong thing, haha.
It was literally the rubber-ish roller material. I will be doing a short video about it soon
@@TCGBulkKingsI think I found it on Amazon, thanks!
Do you have any input to have Quicklist recognize the desktop scanner? I have an Epson and I can’t get Quicklist to see anything but the integrated camera.
It's my understanding that QL doesn't support Epson scanners, rather only a select few Fujitsu scanners from up to a few years ago. This is because TCGplayer have ended trying to improve this feature for whatever reason, and this compatibility with these scanners is grandfathered in
when I try to open my seller portal I get a blank screen what can I do to fix that and keep it from happening Again thank you from Owen Hall
Try clearing the cache in your browser, if that doesn't work, reach out to TCGplayer support I guess. Hope it gets figured out soon =[
I tried to fix it and it didn’t work what do I need to do next thank you
I have reached out to TCG player customer support before and they have not done very good for me
@@OwenHall-ky3vv I wish I could help you, but it sounds like an issue in TCGplayer 's end. If clearing the cache in your browser or trying a different browser didn't work, then they will have to look into it for you. I'm so sorry that's happening for you, and I hope you get it figured out soon
What is the best place to sell my cards Other than TCG player, can you do a video on that?
At what price do you keep non NM cards for ebay/ your own site. Do you run non NM cards if your not sure about the price?
I mean, it's mostly higher end stuff that I've listed so far, but I consider non-NM cards to not be bulk worn items at around $1 or so
Been using quicklist with a webcam but recently found a ScanSnap iX500 but haven’t inquired about purchasing it. Do you have any insight if it would work with quicklist just like
Yours does or are there only certain ones that work best.
The ix500 is what QL was designed to work with, should be great
@@TCGBulkKings sweet, I’ll have to inquire about the one that I found then
Hey thank you for the content. I just started selling some magic and Grand archive on player low in cards for the most part I was wondering if you can do something on shipping it says 99 cent but when you have somebody by like 40 25 cent cards shipping is more than 99 cent I'm a little confused do you have a video already or could you make one. I could really use the help.
I will be doing an updated shipping video soon for sure 😁
Cheapest option is using an oversized envelope (flats), more expensive option is tracked. Both of them would eat into your margin, but you have to do it ....at least it's still profitable since you got around $8.50 for an order that large, and the most you have to pay is around 4.50
Thank you for the response. I'd like to ask you another question real quick. what do the folks that sell cards for $0.10 a piece do when somebody orders 40 10 cent cards that would put your shipping over the total cost of the cards wouldn't it.
It's pretty close to breakeven there, yeah. I just ship them. If I sold those cards 2 at a time, I'd still be breaking even, so it's really not that different. Basically, I'm still getting close to the same margin on larger orders as I am smaller ones, on a per card basis. Some of the mid-size orders are better margins - if I could sell 5 cards at a time every time, it would be better. I treat those orders as opportunities to earn lifetime customers by showing how well I package, how quickly I ship, and giving them the chance to shop with me again
What model scanner do you have exactly?
I am using a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 =]
@@TCGBulkKings did you get it secondhand or new? I need to get a scanner soon. I have over 300k in bulk I still need to list and manual isn’t working too well haha. Do overhead document scanners also work with Quicklist?
I got it secondhand, you can check out all about it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/pmNace-H53U/v-deo.html
Quicklist is pretty particular, they were developing integration with the Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500, so the only scanners that work are those ScanSnaps similar to that one
what rules do you use for the tcg Price tool? I tried using that once and got confused
I'll be doing a video about that shortly, keep an eye out
Oh sweet I will be.
Do you normally use market price or TCG low?
I set prices initially at market, then use the autopricer to set prices at an average of TCGplayer low and market price. Minus 20% for my pro seller website
@@TCGBulkKings would love to see how you do that algorithm in the Mass pricing tool.
*Promo sm* 😞
???
The so chat was no good either
???
I can’t get my Fujitsu 1600 to stop scanning the backside
Do you mean - you only want it to scan one side but it is scanning 2 sides? Or do you mean that it is only scanning one side, but it is the wrong side?
@@TCGBulkKings I’m trying to get it to scan one side only . I have the 1600. I downloaded scansnap
Manage and not home . And it won’t let me interfere with the settings to disable the double scanning .
It seems like there was a way to do it, but I don't remember... sorry, I do remember the help files for this scanner not being very helpful either
