@JoshUnboxed8242 жыл бұрын
If it's a big order such as 10 cards, then I will have to ship it out first class which is around $4. You can probably ship in a standard envelope, but you would need a longer envelope. It can fit 2 card savers in there and you can put 5 cards in each card saver. But if the cards are thicker, then you will most likely have to ship it out first class. At this point, it's probably safer to ship it out first class.

Do you top load everything that sells or just higher dollar cards?
@JoshUnboxed8242 жыл бұрын
I top load everything. Sure it's an additional cost for supplies, but the way I justify it is that helps provide slightly more protection rather than shipping the card without a top loader. It comes down to providing good customer service so that buyers can continually come back to your store to buy more cards from you. The number of repeat buyers is an important aspect in my opinion. It's about establishing a customer base and building loyal customers.

Thanks John! When I source for inventory, my main area is through card shows, local LCS (Burbank Sportscards) and on occasion eBay.

Hi Hamilton, thank you for subscribing. I would say to start out slow and list everyday, then slowly work your way up. I started selling lower end sports cards in October of last year (previous to that I sold graded cards and video games). I started off by listing 3 cards a day as I didn't have a lot of inventory. Then I would take the profits to buy more inventory and started listing a little bit more each month. I went from 3 a day to 5 day to 7 a day, to 10, etc, etc. I now list 20 cards a day. It was a slow process, but the consistency has really helped me with eBay's algorithm. Hope this helps!

Hi James, I place them as buy it nows. I try to price them competitively based on the current market and recent comps. Sometimes when looking at current listing prices you'll see cards that are all priced around the same point, but they actually have been staying there for months. That usually tells me that the price is too high, so when I list my cards, I list them for lower than that and hopefully try and get a sale from that. I try my best to price my cards reasonably and will sometimes lower the price if my cards have been sitting for quite some time. You may also try listing in lots via auctions. They might not get the most bang for your buck and sometimes they will sell for less than what you would hope for, but hopefully you will get a sale from it.

Hi Julio, so far I have about 900 cards listed on eBay right now. I list 20 cards a day and have been doing that for the past month and a half. So far for the month of August I have sold 134 cards. So if you take the number of cards sold this month (134) and divide that by the number of cards I've listed so far (20 x 11 = 220) then the percentage is 61%. In terms of sales conversion percentage (which is the sales rate per page view), then the percentage is 4.9% for this month. I've been selling about 8 to 10 cards on average this month with the occasional large days in which a repeat buyer buys 20 or so cards from me. I also plan on doing this full time when I get older because like you said, its a lot of fun. Thanks for the comment!

I mainly use PWE to ship my cards - $0.53 to ship 1oz, $0.73 for 2oz and $0.93 for 3oz. I used to charge $0.91 for shipping which I think is a fairly reasonable price. I've seen many people also charge $1.00 for shipping. Most times it covers the cost of shipping and the final value fee ($0.30). I recently made the switch to free shipping to see if that can generate more sales and have more people buy in bulk. Which helped in this video with those 2 days of large orders. But I think you can't go wrong with charging $0.93 to $1.00, you just have to price your cards reasonably.

@JoshUnboxed8242 жыл бұрын
It's true that sometimes you will end up taking losses on some sales by providing free shipping. The one thing that I tend to focus on is at what price am I getting the cards at. Most times if I am able to get cards for less than $0.80 per card I can still make some profit even it's a few cents. My hope is to entice buyers to buy more than one card from me with the free shipping. I find that offering free shipping helps make it easier for buyers to buy multiple cards at once and that in turn helps you save on shipping costs and fees. Just the other day I had one buyer buy 19 cards from me and even though some sold for $1.50, I was still able to turn a profit on that entire transaction. I started off by charging for shipping, then as the sales started to become more consistent and I started to make sales everyday, I decided to change to free shipping in hopes of increase bulk sales. You're not going to always make a profit, but my thought is to sell in volume to offset those times when I take a loss. So far, I've been on the positive each month.

Thanks Matt! Unfortunately, I did not track those hours. But if I had to estimate, I usually spend about 3 to 4 hours buying cards a week. Listing, selling and packing I would lump together as roughly about 2 hours a day. The one that I do is create a draft bank to have listings ready to list daily. I don't try to list everything at once, but do so little by little each day - maybe about 10-15 listings per day to create a level of consistency for eBay's algorithm. So total number of hours spent a week would be about 20 hours give or take 2 hours more or 2 hours less.

Thank you Shawn. Buying hangers, blasters and mega boxes can be fun to open, but risky as well, especially if you are looking to make money off those rips. I feel that buying singles will net the most return over buying boxes as you need to get lucky to get that big hit with boxes. But with singles, you can focus on buying particular players and sets that you think will sell well. It's tough, it's a grind and it's also a learning process. When I first started out I bought a lot of cards that didn't sell well, but that just made focus more on the ones that will when I would go looking for cards. There are people who will buy entire collections, it may be worth reaching out to a few of them. Thanks for comment!

Why are you choosing to sell to a youtuber? Just curious as why potential buyers are actually being left out.

@@JoshUnboxed824 ya was considering a fellow KZbinr but I’d have to pay to ship them to him then he takes half. Since I’ve been watching your videos I’ve used a family’s eBay account to list them it’s just hard for me to price them because I’m in an unfamiliar position so I’ve priced them I’m guessing to high so I’m trying to lower the prices just to get rid of them but since I posted them on auction I can’t lower the prices until the auction is over this is a whole situation I’m completely in the dark on. I’d love to sell the whole Shabang to someone it would nice for me to sell all them at once and I’d love to give someone who is going to enjoy them and save them in there collection so I’d sell them to someone at a unbelievable price.

It’s tough to find someone who I could give a massive deal that’s difficult because it is hard to sell to someone who lives a distance away. It’s extremely difficult to list them on eBay because I’ve got to take pictures then price them I’m not familiar with pricing cards I’ve acquired what you collectors call slabs I got some about 50 I received them in a trade for my old bow with arrows that was locally the next state over on Craigslist

@@imperfectgamer54 I’m just trying to recuperate partial of my funds I’d love to give someone who would appreciate them a unbelievable deal it’s all most impossible to sell them because of selling to someone that lives states away I was going to have a KZbinr sell them but it would cost me almost 50 dollars to ship them plus the KZbinr takes half of the sale prices. I’m currently going to try to list them on a family members eBay account I’d love to sell the whole thing at once. I’ve got some all stars rookies even a HOF Steve Carlton autograph some really nice cards.

You stopped saying what they sold for halfway through, I was digging hearing the sales

That's nice to hear! Next time I do one of these videos, I'll make sure to continue with saying how much I was able to sell the cards for. Glad to hear someone enjoyed hearing about the prices as I felt it got too stale and repetitive halfway through lol.

So you MADE $426, and get to keep $110!? Hardly seems worth it. Between eBay and the government you're TOTAL PROFIT = wasting your time.

Definitely not for everyone. It may be a waste of time to some, but I only really do this part time and it’s something I really enjoy doing. At this moment I don’t really plan to make a living off of this or use it replace my normal full time income and enjoy my actual 9-5 job too. But I get it, time is money. Thanks for watching the video!
