Trade-ins are Completely OUT OF CONTROL

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

I had one of those Casper Pizza Hut Toys when I was like 7. I wanted him to get REALLY bright and charged, so I set him on top of the light bulb in our living room and left to watch TV while he charged up. I was alerted by our smoke alarm going off and my parents going ballistic. He didn't survive. LOL. Completely pancaked and toasted.

You should limit inventory past a certain amount honestly. Or start cutting the credit a bit.

I love these store videos. I wish I lived closer to your store honestly. Such cool stuff comes in there

[@MysteryAGMLegend]

Sports games and certain slow moving shovelware games you might want to slow down trades on, or basically offer .25 on sports games and like .25 to .50 on shovel ware games unless it’s a rareish game. Even some ps2, ps3, ps4 games aren’t worth that much unless part of a collection box.

[@pinToable]

I hope you dont accept every trade that comes in! You will have so much overhead!!!!! You should show what you accept and dont accept with trades too. Regardless, love your content!!!!

Shouldn’t you limit how much trades you do from a business standpoint? The people trading in are more likely using it to buy banger titles, your losing out on selling them for cash and then waiting on their items to sell instead of selling a banger title faster ?

50%! That's a great percentage for the customer. Most retailers take 30 to 40%.

It's interesting, RR is such a fan he doesn't seem to pass on ANYTHING, his shop is looking overflowing already, if you're not extremely careful with your bottom line you can run into cash flow probs REAL quick.

[@trollzone1]

Most retail stores make 15%-30% margin. So 50% is pretty good. Personally think he’s over paying a bit as he has other overhead (staff, rent, utilities, etc)

[@lyrand6408]

@@trollzone1 I would agree but right now I think it's also a 'plus', it's positive exposure for his store and it gives him a very smooth start. Maybe in a year or two he will go down to 45% and eventually 40% perhaps. Time will tell. But right now I think it's passion, combined with generosity and, of course good business.

I gotta say that I think it's really unprofessional and inappropriate for Rick's accountant to advise him by commenting on his videos like this.

[@UnmatchedSkills]

I think he's unloading a lot of it on watnot-- i've never seen anything for a good price on that app. it's more convenient to simply buy from ebay.

[@tyst5927]

He probably will never turn a profit on this store. Not only that he is paying interest on a loa n he took out to even purchase the original inventory. Horrible investment.

[@UnmatchedSkills]

@@tyst5927 i think he's banking a lot on watnot and youtube to bring in sales. you can kind see money signs in the eyes of some of the people coming in to trade in their stuff. it's an extra red flag when another store/booth owner is selling you their overstock. that would only make sense if you're starving for inventory.
