Hey! Great vid, unfortunately I had to learn a lot of these lessons the hard way, but they are important lessons nonetheless. One note - unless it’s changed in the last 6 months or so, TCGplayer takes their 13% fee out of the shipping cost as well as the principal listing price. So the correct workbook layout would actually be “sell price” then “shipping price” then factor in “13% TCGplayer fee”. I used to list every card I got until I realized there were orders for small value cards where I was actually taking home less than the $0.55 stamp cost. No bueno. Hope this helps so others don’t waste time on loss listings like I did
You're literally the best at explaining things thoroughly and clearly, man. Greatly appreciate you taking the time to give these tips. Super informative.
Man anyone missing these videos is really missing out! Danny brought up things I didn't even think about. Thanks for all your helpful insights and help with this! Amazing job
I've been filtering through a lot of your videos recently and you have absolutely became my favorite PokeTuber. I appreciate the fact that you aren't screaming at me and playing a bunch of "Hype Music" in the background. Super informative and you treat your audience like an adult lol. Keep up the amazing work!
That was a great video. Your genuine which is a rare find on youtube. My son is not going to be with us much longer, hes sick with cancer. I started collecting again to keep myself occupied and now that i cant work to take care of him i am looking to make some money. This was exactly what i needed, thank you so much ❤
I have wanted to get into selling for a while, and did not know how to approach it. Two years (or more) after you made this vid, I am watching it today and learning the things that I need to know to become a seller. Thank you Danny!
Great video Danny! I’ve been researching Pokémon cards a lot recently because my buddy is getting married and we’re going to be selling his vintage Pokémon collection. 300-400 cards all 1st edition base set immediately sleeved and top loaded upon open. We will document and make a UA-cam video of us opening the storage box and laying everything soon :-)
Would be so awesome if you could do a short (even long!) tutorial on how you work and connect your excel spreadsheet. Something I know I need to do but is foreign to me. Just a suggestion, thanks for all your great content. Love videos like these.
Please keep in mind, Mercari is a buyers app. Sellers have a 10%fee as well as another 3% selling fee... if you make a 100 dollar sale they are taking roughly 13 dollars.. if you offer free shipping, that is another 4 dollars minimum. It can eat into your profits over time for sure
Josh Foreman haven’t opened the store yet, because of my shipping supplies haven’t come in yet :(, but I have an IG: @palkiapacks, I’m gonna list a lot of my cards, soon around November 1st
Seen your most recent videos so now I’m looking at old videos to backtrack this channel and see other great tips n tricks. Thanks for your hard work buddy keep up the success 🎉
You can always save your searches on ebay to. There are also websites you can use to do auto searches, set parameters like price point, auctions, buy it now, how often/what time do do the searches and you can get emails (and texts for VERY good cards/offers) whenever new items are listed that fit your parameters. Then you could just check your email each morning.
Love your content ever since I discovered your channel! One of the only people providing the true information that helps others step up their Poke business!
I havent really sold much, more so trying to accumulate. But then again this was more so from the perspective of buying to sell or people with the goal to sell? Super insightful and will come back to it when I trying to get rid of things I have !
Thank you so much for this. I'm a manchild looking to start a passion project and just found your videos today. I'm a few weeks in to research and development and your videos have been very helpful for methods and resources for me to ponder! Please keep it up and keep giving back to us, the community! All the best on your endeavors, cheers, Bal.
I just sell all mine as lots on my eBay, takes too much time for me to sell them individually I’ll break the prices down for each card then put a bulk deal on them ! I’ve sold 1st editions/base set/ Neo & More ! Still have some of them up as well
REALLY digging all the info - albeit a bit out of date my son, is u=huge fan but my interest is pure business with the cards and these videos have some good insight. Thank you for sharing
there are full class videos on UA-cam from colleges all over that teach classes on excel. All my classes from University at Buffalo are on there i think
I was gonna sell my collection for 650 to start investing in a buissiness but I organized my whole collection and put good margins together. I’m gonna sell my collection for 700 but be way more confident in it selling fast because of what’s in it
Thx for another video! You are my biggest inspiration Danny - I started my Pokemon online store month ago and your knowledge is very important for me! Thx thx thx
good stuff Danny good stuff thanks for the info cuz I was more of just a collector I've never played the game except for when I was 10 years old on original game boy THANK YOU FOR THE INFO
Hey so I have a decent sized collection past 5 years, and a few 1st gens. few gx and full arts and secret rares and prob 2-3,000 bulk how should I go about selling the ones I dont care much about. Would making a mystery pack be a good idea or just single out
Idk if theirs a video but how would you get into doing Slabs of randoms? PSA / EX / V etc cards in a slab people buy pick numbers and get a random card. That's what I really wanna do. That would be interesting :)
Man I appreciate the knowledge, I have bulk on bulk, and it just continues to pile up. I never thought about being able to recoup some of my investment through bulk. I’ve been on UA-cam since 2011 and just recently started posting videos, and giveaways... so it would be nice to bring in the extra cash flow to be able to continue posting openings and giveaways.
Literally just put my first two listings on eBay. Thank you so much. I want to start getting all the boxes like you and Pokémon trainer Ryan and yourself
Does anyone know how to source sealed product? I am collecting sealed blisters and all the early XY ones don’t appear on any of the usual places like ebay, Amazon, Troll & Toad, etc. I have begun joining forums but any other thoughts would be much appreciated!
Thanks for the information didn't know there where so many options in platforms to sell from. Would you say that it is worth to even invest in like cards that are around the 100 to 150 in popularity. It would be a lot more work to look for so many cards but still a steal could be a good deal. Would love to get yours or other peoples feedback on this. And thanks for al the information you give us.
I feel like now everyone prices so competitively and everyone is looking to buy those cheap gems it’s really hard to flip cards. People always look for the cheapest they can find and if you bought it for cheap they’ll probably just go that route and just skip you entirely. Unless you’re selling at a brick and mortar or a community event in which people will impulse buy or decide to support you it’s really difficult to flip online. I’ve worked out the spreadsheets with cards that I already have( I see a card that I have and look for the lowest price I can find and then I see how much I can sell it for to make a profit if I were to resell it. I’ve listed cards using this method and it just doesn’t work online. I know my LGS buys cards for way cheaper than their market value through their website but I feel like people are more inclined to submit cards to them because they’re a brick and mortar and it’s something they know or it’s something they want to support. I know they flip those cards for a profit but that’s the only way I know how to do it reliably. Maybe I’m wrong, but it’s harder than people make it out to be.

Like 7.
Just were looking at TCG and not hoping POKEMON will pay the bills alone.
For sure, no other Poketuber goes this in depth about this side of the hobby
He’s almost there!
He made it! 100k

I've recently gotten into this over the covid period and your Information is great ! Thanks for all the help dude! :D
Had to come check out this trip down memory lane (2 years after posting). You are a gem in the Pokemon UA-cam community. Thank you for all you do!
Love seeing your old videos compared to now. You did great in this video, and i am happy for you and your success 🙌 keep killing it fammo!!

@John Hugh you’re right, no one cares about your spam.
Really nice of you to share this with us!!
This video came at the best time, I’m about to open my eBay and mercari store next week, thank you so much!
Mercari is great
Please keep in mind, Mercari is a buyers app. Sellers have a 10%fee as well as another 3% selling fee... if you make a 100 dollar sale they are taking roughly 13 dollars.. if you offer free shipping, that is another 4 dollars minimum. It can eat into your profits over time for sure
Hey dude I use both lol. Shoot me your usernames or how to find you! I get paid friday and love old stuff mostly but some newer
Josh Foreman haven’t opened the store yet, because of my shipping supplies haven’t come in yet :(, but I have an IG: @palkiapacks, I’m gonna list a lot of my cards, soon around November 1st
Bro wats your mercari store?
Seen your most recent videos so now I’m looking at old videos to backtrack this channel and see other great tips n tricks.
Thanks for your hard work buddy keep up the success 🎉
As someone opening a new Pokemon storefront this is so immensely helpful. Thank you for being so transparent and clear!
How’d it go?
really appreciate all the help as i've recently started selling my own singles lately
Super good info almost at level 4 seller on TCG thanks to you!!! Will do my best to learn the competitive aspect!
Always sharing knowledge, which is why we adore you! 💙
This is incredible information for someone like me who is doing research on getting into this market. Thank you Danny!
This is exactly the video I've been waiting for!
Just found your channel, your doing a great job. One of my favorites now.
Thx for all you do for the pokemon
Community
enjoying this and learning 2 years later thanks Danny!
Thanks for sharing Danny. Awesome information, it's not often people share valuable insights like this.
You can always save your searches on ebay to.

I agree Danny, might as well dive in whole heartedly and learn everything you can and go to pre release events, etc. playing the game is awesome.
Very informative video man! Your content is really good, keep it up!
Dont stop your video thanks for the tips and help 🤘
You must 100% be a south park fan coming out with little jimmy then little timmy 😂 awesome video 👌🏻
This video is so helpful I had to watch it twice. 😁 great content Danny
Best! Pokemon UA-cam channel
even though I'm just a collector this video is still very interesting and helpful
keep up the good content man!
The hyperlink stuff is a great idea I will definitely use it but probably on more collectable cards!
Love your content ever since I discovered your channel! One of the only people providing the true information that helps others step up their Poke business!

This is my first time watching u I instantly liked subscribed and notifications
These last few videos are full of great information. Thank you!
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could automate all that stuff for you ? Like a piece of software where it finds your greatest price margin on what to buy ?
Thank you so much for this. I'm a manchild looking to start a passion project and just found your videos today.

Man I litterally opened a eBay sellers account 2 days ago. Sick tips, great video.
I love the vids Danny! He is so genuine! Love it.
Can you do a video on how you use Excel. That would be helpful.

Very helpful video. Really opened my eyes even more, on making money off my hobby, basically just feed my addiction haha !
Great channel! Keep up the grind brother
Consistent, informative, and excellent content. I really hope you keep making videos!
Only guy on youtube who shares a ton of useful information gleamed from years of experience and then apologizes for it!
This guy is humble and amazing

Great video as always! What do you think about 50-100 card lots as a sales strategy for singles? Does it work in your opinion?
He made a video about it already like a month ago
@@AlfredoMartinez-nr9xx thanks!
bro all facts about the scoop up nets I sold 2 last week for $3.50 each appreciate the video and tips ✊😎🔥
Dude I'm glad I found your videos. Great stuff.
my question is you said 50 cents x 1000 is 500 a week but my question is how do you get 1000 of them a week
You're vastly underrated.
Sick video keep up the great work 🤘🏽👍🏻
Hey so I have a decent sized collection past 5 years, and a few 1st gens. few gx and full arts and secret rares and prob 2-3,000 bulk how should I go about selling the ones I dont care much about. Would making a mystery pack be a good idea or just single out
Thanks for the advice, it's really interesting info. New subscriber here :)) keep up the great videos!!
youre the best man. best info out there thanks for this
Thank you again for another great informative piece! Are there certain days you release videos?
I've just started selling my collection and this is a massive help thank you
How can i get a distributor for pokemon products?
Idk if theirs a video but how would you get into doing Slabs of randoms? PSA / EX / V etc cards in a slab people buy pick numbers and get a random card. That's what I really wanna do. That would be interesting :)
Man I appreciate the knowledge, I have bulk on bulk, and it just continues to pile up. I never thought about being able to recoup some of my investment through bulk.

Hey any updates?
Danny, you're awesome. Thanks for a very informational video!
I really would love to start a business of this 🥰
Did you make any progress starting your business?
tcg player isn't available to sell on for non US residents :(
Does anyone know how to source sealed product? I am collecting sealed blisters and all the early XY ones don’t appear on any of the usual places like ebay, Amazon, Troll & Toad, etc. I have begun joining forums but any other thoughts would be much appreciated!
Where can i get booster boxes for $90? Most sites telling me at least $100 or more
Could you post an example spreadsheet
Phan-clan!!! Love it!
Thanks for the information didn't know there where so many options in platforms to sell from.
Would you say that it is worth to even invest in like cards that are around the 100 to 150 in popularity. It would be a lot more work to look for so many cards but still a steal could be a good deal.

Hi, administration is a pain for me. How do you keep track of what you spend and the profits ROI etc?
Great videos man! Awesome information.
you can only make a seller account on tcg player if you live in the US, its not open for new international seller accounts :(
Thanks for sharing. Your videos are always helpful.
Great info here! I have two questions... If we want to sell breaks live on our live streams.. should we get an LLC and a reseller certificate?
Bruh you are my new hero. Lol subscribed. This is awesome information as a collector. Need to fund my hobby some how.
Dude your videos are great! Subscribed for sure
Can you sell on tcg player even you live in germany?
Definitely earned a subscriber after this video
If your starting a business and it’s based on Pokémon just don’t 9/10 times just do it as a hobby that might make you money
Not starting a business, but it is a good side gig correct?
@@MichaelLanham67 if you keep up with prices yes
You’re a gem, man!
