Very nice video, Will. There's definitely rising issues with Distributors raising cost. Once they begin acting like a seller, they should have their Distribution rights stripped, imo. They're buying so low from Pokemon already, and pretty much holding a monopoly on distribution rights with most of the tcgs out there, it's ridiculous on their part. Even Walmart has seen MJ Holding raising prices recently. But really enjoyed your break down and is very accurate. Keep up the great work and wishing you all the best in the future with the hobby

[@TheLabTCG]

Thank you for the comment! Yeah, it is kinda sad. Hopefully it starts to ease and fix itself over time. I think it is a far from perfect model.

[@ThisOffendsMeTV]

Just started my Pokémon pack opening channel, so I assume that’s why this stuffs popping on my feed (other than my KZbin pals that pack open) this was very informative man. I’m actually super impressed with the amount of knowledge you shared on here.

[@TheLabTCG]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for so much for the comment and support. Best of luck with your pack opening channel!

[@evertontsai4496]

Liked and subscribed. Everything was accurate. I sell Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! products for a living (while I'm still a college student) and it really isn't as easy as people think it is. Everyone is always asking for discounts, but they don't seem to have any idea how taxes work. I'm currently living in the Netherlands (Europe) and you pay a shit ton of taxes every 3 months. If you want to make this your side hustle, but don't have a lot of capital, I'd suggest you start with buying collections at a low percentage and flip them online or at random events where there are a lot of people.

[@TheLabTCG]

Amazing comment, seems like you have experienced the same stuff as me Everton. It really is a grind, props to you for doing it with me!

[@merus9220]

That’s what i’m doing. I’m buying collections for low with a potential profit in total with each card.

[@randomdutch5590]

Yo man ik wil dit ook gaan doen maar ben nog aardig nieuw in dit allemaal heb je insta dat ik je wat vragen kan stellen?

[@DatHondaBoi223]

Where can you find deals on large quantities? The only sites I’m finding require you to operate a business. I can’t really start a business without making money and getting product with a good profit in mind beforehand

[@bradleylouis4379]

Dude please keep making videos like this! It will definitely pay off. These are incredibly helpful.

"and future self". Thats a great way to look at it. Subbed for knowing the importance of self reflection.

Thanks Matt! Self reflection is super important. The main reason I created this channel was to document the journey, hence that statement at the beginning of every video.

[@toddkvamme]

I suspect it was a lot easier to get access to a distributor 5 years ago (which you allude to). I have a business set up etc...but no brick and mortar. So...no dice. Kudos for doing this at your age. When I was your age, I had no clue, haha!

[@TheLabTCG]

Hey Todd, thanks so much for the comment and the kind words! Yes, it was much easier 5 years ago. Surprisingly, when I signed up with my second distributor it wasn't that difficult. I got into that one just as the pandemic was starting, so it is possible the hype cycle hadn't quite started at that time. Best of luck in getting one!

[@tigerdriverVS]

I have an online storefront and brick and mortar and I’ve been turned down by everyone.

Dude, you are an awesome human being! Glad to have you in the Pokemon community

[@TKKCollector]

We found a distributor in Canada. We are growing slowly and didn't have a Brick and Mortar. We contacted them all, and one was willing to give us a chance. Likely because we are building a digital service product management tool for singles, so the sealed product access and the combination of our digital work maybe convinced them to give us a chance. (Many gave us a 'no' because we didn't setup a storefront yet. )

[@TheLabTCG]

Excellent! Congrats!

[@sergioscollection]

Great video! Another negative is the price creep from distributors. The distributor I use is now $90+ for booster boxes.

[@TheLabTCG]

Totally agree. I'm fortunate that my distributor still has old pricing in play. It would be pretty difficult to make profit margins at $90 a box imo if you aren't scalping. Thanks for the comment!

[@RyanDaRaider]

@@TheLabTCG Would either of you be willing to meet me in the middle on distribution? Such as buy a couple cases at a price somewhere in the middle of distribution price and retail? I’d be willing to buy in large quantity

[@costasevangelou5221]

The issue is all the distributors are not taking any business accounts that’s are not Brick and mortar

[@texhilarate4]

I agree, however, brick and mortar have much more overhead cost and they are more favorable of brick and mortar because someone with that overhead is much less likely to just duck out with bad sets because they need product to push for that overhead.

[@TheLabTCG]

Great points Texhilarate, I think the online model is the way to go, but it is definitely harder to get product with said model.

[@texhilarate4]

A little tip, work with LGS in your area I get discounted boxes from them since I can't get in with and distributors. I've become friendly with a couple stores and they sell it to me a bit over the distribution price because I've been consistent with getting from them and it allows them to move more product quickly

[@johndoering5727]

Earned my sub with this video. I've been trying retail arbitrage for months now and have terrible margins. If I'm looking to keep it going as a side thing, UT sounds like it might be worth getting a distributor. Thanks for the video

It was always a dream for me to have a mini shop since I was a kid! I hope things go well for you keep it up seems like your doing amazing!!! 💯 Ps: maybe you should do a video of Japanese distribution 👍🔥

[@SteveFisherTattoos]

Really liked this video. I have been trying to decide which way I would like to take this journey. I am debating on starting a break channel and eBay/ local sales business. But I’d like to grow my name in social media circles before getting the distributor. You got my subscription.

[@TheLabTCG]

Thanks Steven, I am glad the video helped. I appreciate the support and kind words!

[@BelowZer09107]

hey man i just subscribed, i like your knowledge on the market. I do have a question though, if you're not interested in achieving a partnership with a distributor, how else would you receive products then ? I imagine buying from other resellers will be far more expensive, then you have to find a way to flip that after you purchased it which wouldn't make sense, because people would just go for the person who sells for less.

[@theabner880]

I was looking to get into wholesale distribution of video games or TCG. I have an LLC and am tax exempt in my state. The main issue I had with deciding whether to do it or not, was the profit margin. Like you said in the video, the best way to make money is to sell large quantities because you are only making a few dollars per sale. Also for me, I do not have a storefront so it would take up so much space to store everything although I do have a storage unit with AC and some empty room in my house. In my opinion unless you are going to spend say $100,000 to buy product it would be better to use as a collecting/investing tool. You can get the item for cheaper than you would pay in store. You covered basically everything in this video. Much appreciated.

[@TheLabTCG]

It has it's benefits and down falls. I think it really sums up to a volume game. Thanks for the comment!

[@WhoisthiskidRay]

Appreciate the video! I've been having a rough time getting a distributor. Every one I contact is only taking Brick and Mortar accounts

[@Grunttamer]

The mindset of “only making $5 when you spend $100 so it isn’t worth it” is backwards. It’s essentially compound interest. Say you sell out once a week. In 15 weeks you doubled your money at that rate. Will the prices double in that time? Nope. In one year at that 5% growth rate you will have increased your stock by almost 55x what you started with.
