How to get started with Tcgplayer direct with workflow

[@MurktideRegent]

Insanely helpful content dude. I expected to learn all these things myself when I got to this point in my life, but the knowledge you throw out every video is just so valuable. Thanks!

[@josephtaylor5044]

Thank you man for all the information! Your videos have been helping me start my own TCG player store! Keep up the work! Hope to meet you one day!

[@rng-gamez]

Awesome!

[@GradedInMyLivingRoom]

Enjoy your content as I recently inherited mtg cards and figuring out what to do. Enjoy learning about the process and reselling market for mtg. Thanks again

[@kingaloha]

Awesome stuff, Rob. Thank you for continuing to put out fantastic content.

[@EnochTheMuffin]

Thank you so much. Videos like this make me want to get into bulk singles. Looks like so much fun. 🤓

[@crafteded2645]

Thank you so much for this. Incredibly helpful

[@StevoSupremo]

Great video again! For those of us working from home and one TCGplayer account who want to go direct, should we remove anything over a certain price limit? I know you said under $3 they take half, but what about over $3. It almost sounds like the way you do it with $1 and under cards is the way to go. I would just hate to work up rep on another seller account, but will if it puts more money in my pocket in the long run.

[@rng-gamez]

For you guys it really doesn’t matter I was saying that for stores just starting out just so they can hold onto inventory because everything sells so fast on direct

[@KilatSilat]

THANK YOU for these videos. So is the invoice organized first by set then alphabetically within each set?

[@Julnlecs86]

Would you recommend direct to someone who doesn’t buy inventory often?

[@birria4]

sorry I'm new, how often you send to Direct? I know it depends on orders but can you give a rough estimate, great content BTW!

[@TKEstar]

rob ill be your store bouncer. ill work for booster boxes!

[@TCGBulkKings]

The struggle is definitely real 😂 Do you have a price floor for your direct inventory? I won't price mine below $.05

[@rng-gamez]

I do it’s about the same, I remember getting a 4000 card RI and I was like never again

[@Russell_Cards]

What’s the lowest you’ll list a card? What do you put your shipping price at? Level 3

[@rng-gamez]

.25 listed .99 shipping

[@Russell_Cards]

@@rng-gamez even .01 cards?

[@Russell_Cards]

@@rng-gamez even the .01 cards?

[@rng-gamez]

@@Russell_Cards you have to do what you can with the space you have. If you have unlimited space than yes, but they will sit for a while. If you are limited on space than try to only focus on things with a market price above .10

[@Russell_Cards]

@@rng-gamez thank you for the information, been selling a little while just wanted a better understanding

[@hagopn2409]

I wonder how much shipping costs on the direct fulfillment orders that you send them. Wouldn’t that realistically eat into your profit margin when we are talking about 4000+ cards

[@rng-gamez]

The most it ever costed me was $12

[@WBell]

Ty for the updates. I am curious how much of your business is due to tcg player and how much are you generating locally, if you are willing to share. I sell online, but have considered brick and mortar.

[@rng-gamez]

I would have to say 50/50

[@WBell]

@@rng-gamez awesome. ty. I have thought about brick and mortar. keep up the great work.

[@RocketGruntDave]

When you say organize alphabetically, does it matter which way? Specifically, can I start my As on the back and have it progress to Zs as I move closer to me or does it have to be the other way when I send to tcg

[@tcgworldorder1000]

I want enough TCG player business for a roka sorter!

[@isaack7457]

getting 50 sales at level 1 ... takes awhile since u can only list 100 total cards.

[@milootis3662]

How exactly does the tcgplayer shipment come about? I'm assuming with the invoice all of the cards have to be processed onto the manifest?

[@Mistybrooks84]

Where is your store? With love from Los Angeles!

[@rng-gamez]

We are located in south Plainfield NJ 👋🏼

[@TachibanaTengoku]

I believe it's actually 3000 Pokemon, Yugioh or Magic listed, individually. I don't think 1500 of each would count, but maybe if you email tcgplayer support they'd let it slide. I currently have 930 between Pokemon, Yugioh and Magic, so I can't get in haha, most of my inventory is Digimon, hope we grow enough to get added to direct How are you separating the inventory you add so that it's only for direct?

[@rng-gamez]

I only put cards under a certain value in my direct account, my store inventory is only integrated with my non direct account.

[@bertrammorris214]

Rob this was an awesome video! Thank you for the breakdown on Tcgplayer direct. I've got a ton of cards I want to bulk away. Now I understand the direct method. One day I'm hoping to open my own store. How much is the card sorter again?

[@dexterward1887]

What do you do when you run out of bulk for tcg and you can’t find anymore in your area? Also is it possible to sell $.01 on tcg direct

[@rng-gamez]

I really don’t think I’ll ever run out, it is possible but not worth the work

[@pokeronin]

Do you sort the sets alphabetically and the cards or just the set alphabetically?

[@rng-gamez]

Sets are done in order of release

[@pokeronin]

@@rng-gamez okay thank you that makes sense

[@adamsme1314]

i rang up bananas and didn't know how i don't really eat.... so the complaining then forced the i don't talk into not really having any banana's because no one is sweating over the 14 cents to put whatever is on there or some odd of me having to talk but asking for directions is a sin.......

[@NJ_TCG_Show]

First!

[@steezyg1665]

Hey buddy I just started direct a couple days ago. Any way I can chat with ya for a little ?
