Gonna echo most comments - this is really useful for someone who hasn't used TCGplayer before. Really appreciate the video and all the content!

[@TCGFunhouse]

Thanks so much. Appreciate it

[@michaelsraj4783]

I've never actually shopped on tcg before. This was insanely helpful and I'm definitely adding it to my toolset for collecting cards. Thank you!

[@nevercold808]

Great advice! I hope people stumble across this and put your advice into practice. People need to stop overpaying for modern. Stop feeding the scalpers

[@ErnestoPogi]

I really prefer buying in tcg instead of ebay... less risk in my opinion. 😄

[@TCGFunhouse]

I agree 💯

[@JKPokePals]

Thank you for this video! I was looking to buy singles instead of always buying packs but didn’t know how to go about it this was very helpful!

[@TCGFunhouse]

You are welcome

[@unknownjorden2461]

Appreciate the guide, just started to buy on TCGplayer

[@TCGFunhouse]

Nice

[@Romulus2099]

I literally just learned so much from this video, Thank you so much!

[@TCGFunhouse]

💪💪💪

[@zekeybear5323]

Great tips as always, Travis! Noticed a slight increase in prices these past few days, probably just cuz of the holidays. Everything should settle down again after next week

[@TCGFunhouse]

Yeah holidays is always super weird time for product across the board

[@matthewl1187]

I like videos like this. I buy a lot on TCG player but the problem I find is if I find a card at a good price from a reputable seller, the other cards I want seem to be overpriced to me.

[@TCGFunhouse]

Thanks Matthew

[@kb6530]

I honestly don't worry about them being reputable, bc if they don't send the correct quality or quantity, they must fix it or tcgplayer won't pay them , I trust tcgplayer to handle it for me if the seller don't deliver what they listed. The sellers always do me right and if they don't tcgplayer customer support always got my back. For example I had got an empty envelope the other day and I got a full refund , I got the wrong quality the other day and I got to keep the wrong card and got the correct card sent to me for no cost Never lost buying on tcgplayer Just make sure you check each order as they come , for quality and quantity, and contact seller immediately if there is an issue

[@sirventagod]

My son & I recently got into the hobby. Your videos are super dope!

[@xHULLxDADDYx]

This was very helpful. I've never bought from TCG yet. Their site can be a bit overwhelming at times, with so much stuff. I know the obvious stuff. But you made a couple of good points that I wouldn't have thought to look for/do. Thanks for a good video.

[@TCGFunhouse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sideshowqc8579]

your really making a difference for me i watch others and they never like or respond to my comments wich i think is sad plis those giveaways are nowhere to be seen and these guys have millions subs but you have more likes and more comments in almost each video so big thumbs up to you keep doing what your doing thank you 🙏❤

Legit video! Love TCG player sight for singles, even when I have trouble with a purchase they always fix it and hook it up. I recently bought evolutions reverse holo and holo charizards and received two reverse holos by accident! They sent me the holo and I got to keep both reverse holos, was pretty pumped.

[@TCGFunhouse]

Thanks terry. Trying help some people save money

Much better video this week brother, glad You took a step back to look ahead. The market singles are still not quite at the floor but it will be very shortly within the next 1-2 months. The 1 pickup I will share with you & the chat is to definitely pick up the 25th anniversary Lance Charizard box. Box is $30 rn. We all know charizard boxes skyrocket. Thanks guys! & nice vid TCGFH!

Thanks for all the useful tips!!

Always Clayton !

[@pokethread3956]

One thing I've learned is also don't be afraid of shipping buying in bulk. If someone who has $.99 shipping has 10 cards you want that's only $.10 per card. If they're $.50 below the free shipping that saves you $4 for example

[@TCGFunhouse]

Yes. Always good to look at the numbers in total

[@pokekeelaytcg]

The first person I ever did an online trade with threw in the amazing rare requqyza because he was 1 day late on shipping his stuff and he felt bad.

[@TCGFunhouse]

Geez. That was super nice of them

[@bleuberton]

Love the info but How will smaller sellers get experience if people don’t shop from them?

[@TCGFunhouse]

I’ve just been burned too many times by low rated sellers. It’s my obligation to share that with my viewers

[@bleuberton]

I totally get that, just wanted your opinion ☺️

[@chrisgraphs1015]

Very cool video. Just subbed. I started collecting in November of 2020 and I am so hooked as the artwork is amazing. I have made a couple buys on TCGPlayer and I have been happy using them. Only had one problem with one seller cards were NM but received played and bent but he made it right.

[@TCGFunhouse]

As long as they make it right at the end of the day. That’s fine by me !

[@chrisgraphs1015]

@@TCGFunhouse Yeah the seller made it right and I am grateful for that.

[@nicholasanderson95]

I’ve been thinking of using tcg to buy cards but they always seemed so expensive. Thanks for the help navigating the website!

[@fj7509]

Maybe he could add to this but it’ll be a bit more expensive if you use direct, but it’s totally worth the few extra change on the singles. TCGdirect ensure the cards are by their standards.

[@TCGFunhouse]

Glad I was able to help

[@awholemewworld4799]

Great tips! TCG Player can be really awesome if you know how to navigate it.

[@leviathongt]

I'm not sure what the algorithm is for ratings but I've recently had to give negative reviews (because improperly shipped items and bad communication) and they haven't show up for those sellers yet. One of them even laughed off my complaint.

[@TCGFunhouse]

Hmm that’s strange

[@mattdonato3290]

Once again fantastic information. Thank you for taking the time to post and educate. What, if any are your thoughts on the Brilliant Stars upcoming set?

[@TCGFunhouse]

It’s going to be a great set. Similar in value to Cosmic Eclipse I think

[@richiearanez519]

Merry Christmas!! Thank you for the information, you are always helpful! I am waiting for another Bonus Bucks before I bulk buy again!

[@Poke_waffles]

Thanks for puttin dis together

[@dumbyfiddler2376]

I love your content. I hope people that needed to learn something learned it. A lot of these techniques work for other sites and not just TCG player. Go out and save some monies.

[@tahliam4830]

Thanks for such an informative video! This does help out a lot as I don’t know where to buy singles if I need to as I’ve only just got back into collecting the start of this year.

[@aaaaaa-xo8om]

Super helpful! Ive been revisiting collecting cards again and ive come to the conclusion that opening packs is fun and all,but a major loss most of the time. i just want my binder to look pretty with cards i like so ill stick to buying singles for now

[@TCGFunhouse]

Yes. Very hard to profit on ripping packs

[@bocagelandscape]

Nice video, very extensive info. Maybe it's good to add you can select individual resellers if you found one that has a card that's already in your kart. That way you can get the free shipping easily.

[@TCGFunhouse]

Yep. It’s a big part of this video !

[@BudgetChase]

awesome tips!! Appreciate it. Happy Holidays!!

[@TCGFunhouse]

Glad u liked em

[@BlueCollarCollector]

I have been using TCGPlayer to see what pricing is looking like for the collecting aspect, but once I start getting into collecting again I would much rather open packs and have that excitement of pulling the card then to just go and buy a single card.

[@TCGFunhouse]

Do both !

[@flockscruz4316]

U gonna get tiered trust me

[@dericktramel9680]

Thanks for this great info! I’m going to be picking up a lot of singles this week off TCG Player, and this video was really helpful!

[@TCGFunhouse]

You too man

[@JusZard]

Idk man I usually agree with you . But everyone has to start somewhere I mean take a person like me for example. Buy huge rip packs huge get nice pulls know what I’m doing and talking about . Probably would give a cheaper price , yet I would be new on the site if I chose to start to sell . If you recommend to never buy from a new seller how will they ever prosper ? But if you rather give your money to a big box established store that’s your obligation,I just beg to differ . That being said i appreciate the video I understand where your coming from but if the person has a picture of the item in detail with a name a date in some paper I’d go for it . This video did teach me something very valuable thank once again for the knowledge greatly appreciated great video , though I’ve never bought from the site I may have to especially sealed boxes it seems like a great deal ! Thanks bro !

[@TCGFunhouse]

Remember I’m coming with these thoughts to protect the buyer. I agree that it is tougher for newer sellers to get going but I have been burned by too many small accounts and don’t want my viewers to fall to that either.

[@MitchZro]

I snagged a Neo Genesis Typhlosion for $60 the other day because the new seller didn’t realize that all the ones going for that price were Japanese 😈

[@TCGFunhouse]

Savage

[@sallywingles9057]

I wish near mint also included visually centered and without a clear visible printer line(s). Pack fresh is the same to me -- even pack fresh cards can disappointing. If you buy the cards to play the game it doesn't matter. If you buy the cards to toss into a binder for memories, it probably doesn't matter either. If you buy cards as a serious collector -- IT MATTERS.

[@TCGFunhouse]

Todays printing standard in English cards has definitely deteriorated. I really wish they upheld the same level of quality as what they print in Japanese

How has yalls luck been on no pics for TCG Player? Does NM actually come out as NM? Esp for alt arts, terrible centering and stuff?

[@TCGFunhouse]

Usually about 80% of time it’s good for me. I have a whole video up about it on the channel

[@andrewryan6286]

Great video. As someone who buys cards all the time on TCG player this is amazing but it did sting to hear you say skip over sellers with no reviews and little to no sales. That is understandable advice to buyers but as new seller on TCGplayer that doesn't have any reviews and very little sales, can you offer any advice of things I can do to be taken more seriously? I think this topic would even make a wonderful video topic and help out those of us who are who aspire to start an online business selling pokemon cards!

[@TCGFunhouse]

Just the experience that I have had. For me it’s just to be better safe than sorry. Not all new sellers are bad obviously, but I have been burned a few times

[@TCGFunhouse]

I myself am a small seller on there. So I feel you

Hey Dude, Just watched this video. Thanks. What do you think about selling cards. I have alot of original base set in excellent condition. What shall I do with them?

[@TCGFunhouse]

eBay or TCG player

[@georgiodespotakis691]

haven't bought from them before so i'm assuming all prices are in USD. it says ship to canada on my page but im not sure if prices are ajusted. i'm assuming they're not. also does anyone know if i have to pay duties for cards from the US?

[@TCGFunhouse]

Yes.

[@150andmore]

Thank you!!!

[@TCGFunhouse]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mrwright788]

Hey love the channel, but aren’t the 0% sellers new sellers? Wouldn’t that be doing those people a disservice just by not buying from them because they have 0% or is the percentage number different for new sellers?

[@TCGFunhouse]

It could be yes. But I have also known people to get poor ratings and start new accounts and such. Also, it’s one of those things that is just better safe than sorry. Reputation matters, doesn’t mean new sellers are bad. Just why take any risk at all…

[@mrwright788]

@@TCGFunhouse I understand, just curious because it kinda sucks for the honest sellers that are trying to get their cards to be sold, if other people get information not to buy from these sellers, i was thinking about opening up a seller account, but wanted to get others take on it before I went all in ya know

[@TCGFunhouse]

@@mrwright788 definitely open a sellers account if wanna get into the game. It really is a safer option for both buying and selling cards than other sites like eBay imo

[@WATER4KAYLEE]

Just subscribed but is that your experience with people with lower ratings? Or have you just never tried them out. Because I wonder with lower ratings they would care more about their actual rating so they wouldn't want to screw people over. But maybe I'm wrong didn't know if you ever tried buying from them

[@TCGFunhouse]

I have been burned by new/inexperienced sellers a few times. Not all new sellers are bad, but I have rarely have issues buying from the bigger sellers. And if I do, they refund very quickly.

[@sebastiansaucedo2825]

What do i do if the card i received is not the quality it was listed as?

[@TCGFunhouse]

Put in for a return with them. If they don’t comply file complaint with TCG player directly

[@jacobbrown7436]

Always used eBay now guess I’ll be using tcgplayer

[@TCGFunhouse]

I have had much more success on TCG player

[@joshuawork6867]

I understand the hesitancy to buy from people who have had very few sales, but some of those people are new to the game and trying to break into the industry and start a small business. After doing so myself I find that giving those sellers a chance goes a long way to making them verified sellers. If you only buy from sellers who have thousands of sales you're really only feeding into the idea that those sellers are the only reputable ones on TCGPlayer, when they were also in the shoes of new sellers at one point. If other people hadn't given them a chance and strictly followed the advice in this video those businesses would never have grown. I'm not saying to disregard everything that's said in this video, but try your best to analyze the data presented and make wise decisions when purchasing from a seller who only has a few sales. It doesn't have to be a big purchase, but it can go a long way in helping that business grow over the long term.
