I think you've missed the point a bit. This video is about the difference between buying at market price and holding for a time until market price increases to then sell later, versus buying below market price now in order to sell at market price now. It definitely isn't about defending or attacking the notion of buying low and selling high

I have several, but I'll have a new one coming soon =]

I don't see any problem selling different kinds of cards - as long as you follow the recommendation in this video about making sure they are higher demand and at least $2

Not at the moment - it is unfortunately not available in any kind of massively referential form as far as I know. Not in the MassPrice tool; not in the filtered csv files; not in the API.

So nice of you to say, thanks yourself =]

Hey thanks for watching! The 4-row boxes I use are these: www.bcwsupplies.com/monster-storage-box-3200-cards?acc=tcgbulkkings Now this is an affiliate link, so I get a little kickback if you purchase from here, but you can also use my promo code 'tcgbulkkings' to get 10% off your total order. You don't have to get them here either, there are many available on Ebay and a lot of times your LGS will carry them or can get them =]

That's what I'm about - my stance is that the more info everyone has, the better for the overall health of the market

Glad you enjoyed it

I definitely had Princess Mononoke flashbacks for a second ngl

At least it wasn't a regular human bar tender.

Glad to be helpful =]

Aww shucks

Think of it more in quantum mechanical sense in that we are determining the average velocity of a large system of particular by determining what ratio of the number particles that exit the perfectly black box they are contained in over a certain period of time to the number of particles contained. If you want a direct physical analogue, you may have to model trading cards sales as a quantum thermodynamics experiment But I think that's a bit much for trying to buy a card to sell, we can use the classical approximation and be fine =]

Glad to be able to help!

It's been a big help. I'll have a video about how I'm integrating it into my overall system coming soon

Up and down, but definitely back on track now. And the CardBot has been a big help! I'll have another video about it coming soon

Yeah, sorry about that, had a bit of an unplanned mandatory break from content creation, courtesy of the autism x.x but things are looking better now, which means MOAR VIDEOS!!!!1!

Hey, glad I could help! I hope this info gets looked at by a lot of sellers, we could all use a better understanding of the market forces

I'm back! Lol And I've been up and down, but definitely getting better, thanks for watching!

hes low key the best tcg player channel

i literally seen the vid notification and was like YES!

@@mrguymanjr5777 thank you for your kind words 😊

Yeah, sorry it's been a bit since I've posted anything, been a lot of extra-business activities absorbing my time. It's definitely a great tool. It's mechanically very functional, and works really good for Magic. Pokemon is in late beta and works pretty good, and they are ramping up other games as well. Getting a lot of stuff done with it that would normally have taken me a lot of personal attention. I can drop cards in it and have it run while I sleep, or while I run to the store, or while I sort cards from a game outside its purview, or whatever. It's been nice, and I definitely think it's worth the price, especially compared to the rest of the market

If you end up reaching out to CardCastle, let them know I sent you lol, they love hearing that and it makes me look good =]

Definitely a grind, and definitely something you have to be at least okay with, if you hate sorting, you won't suddenly stop hating it

I think I can do that =] I'll try to put something together before too long

@TCGBulkKings Thanks! I do have one question maybe you can answer! How do you store cards in your inventory? Does everything get a sleeve or just more expensive cards. Thank you.

@@romansky1720 it's... Complicated. Currently my TCGplayer inventory is unsleeved and my eBay inventory is sleeved while in inventory.

Hey, thanks for watching. I offer free shipping on TCGplayer, and I've recently gone to $.99 shipping on Ebay, just because it seems like the sales didn't really drop while giving me a bit more room for offer negotiations =] For Pirate Ship, there isn't a bulk import option, so I just copy the address from the order page and Pirate Ship has a paste address option I use

@ isn’t that a constant loss for cards basically under a dollar on tcg player? Do you change the shipping price on ebay for cards over a certain price point?

@Mountain_Peak_TCG when you have free shipping set, TCGplayer still will charge and pass on $1.27 if the product total is below $5. So it all works out 👍

@Mountain_Peak_TCG and I do have a free shipping for orders over $10 discount set up on eBay

Not long after the big collapse seems like a terrible time to dump, wait a long time they'll be worth more

I just think they're neat!

YGO beta is still quite a ways behind the other two, it recognizes the cards for the most part, but their database functionality is quite a bit lower

Just keep making sales - that's all you need to do to get to the next level. If no one is buying your cards, adjust your prices a bit aggressively. Get some more cards to list, and get them listed. You can't sell what you don't list. If you only have bulk to list, then find some higher demand cards to get them sold quickly

I've been doing it myself for years, this just helps out a little so that I can do more in the same amount of time, without having to hire an extra person. And this machine is much more affordable compared to pretty much the rest of the market.

I use an EcoTank printer, the ink cost becomes basically negligible, something like $.0001 per page, which more than pays for the $200 up front cost for the printer

I'm not sure why UK sellers couldn't use Card Dealer Pro. May need some extra steps in generating the csv files to upload, but I would think it could be done. I suggest reaching out to the folks at CDP to see if they can help you out, they are really nice and accomodating

TCGplayer have actually put an indefinite hold on onboarding new accounts right now. Supposedly to they can make some changes to the basic process, but it's been weeks and weeks, since towards the beginning of the summer if I remember correctly. Not really much you can do, other than find a different marketplace such as ManaPool, CardTrader, or Ebay

You may need to look for a box that is automatically checked, something to the effect of "skip changes that would change the price by greater than 50%" or something. I bet that's the culprit

THANK YOU

That is exactly what you do, yep! I know it can feel stressful, like you're just letting go and hoping, but 99%+ of the time, things work out how they are supposed to

@@TCGBulkKings thank you so much!! Also what do you think the cut off should be for white envelopes? Like once I go over like 5 bucks I should start using mailers?

That means a lot to me, I'm so glad I've been able to help =]

I don't, mostly because it's really pretty much a plug and play situation. There isn't really anything to make content about. Most printers will work just fine for whatever purpose you have, but I'm not really able to get into the details of all of them. I'm currently using a Rollo printer for 4"x6" labels, and in the past I've used a Dymo for customer street addresses. But I'm currently just printing those directly onto the envelopes since I've gotten an ecotank style printer

BSC requires all transactions be of product value at least $3, so those transactions only happen when people buy a bunch of cards on the same order

@@TCGBulkKings ok that helps a bunch thank you. Do you think BSC is worth it over eBay for the lower end cards?

I'm afraid of that, yeah

At the beginning, getting to Lvl 4 is most important when selling on TCGplayer. I'm glad my videos have helped you achieve that first big goal. Now the fun really begins! Let us know when you get that channel going, I'd love to follow along =]

Yeah, especially right now, it's hard to dial in that pricing floor. My current floor on TCGplayer is $.10, but I'm not 100% convinced that's the necessarily the best place for me, let alone for others. You will just have to experiment and see what feels right for you and your business - it's different for everyone

@@TCGBulkKings that seems like a high floor on a Vivid Voltage common 🥲 lol Keep up the hustle. 😎

Up to a couple hundred, I just do team bags in a large bubble mailer. Beyond that I use a small box. If you use USPS Ground Advantage, especially through one of the discount postage services like Pirate Ship, it can still be pretty affordable. Though, you will definitely get a better rate of postage per card if you are sending larger amounts in one package, 4k-6k in Ground Advantage, or larger lots through UPS I think. I don't use the flat rate mailers at all now, simply because the relative cost is considerably higher

@@TCGBulkKings Do you happen to have the sizes of smaller boxes you use for cards in the range where it's too many to fit into a bubble mailer, but not quite enough cards to put in a 4-6k box? I'm thinking about selling smaller bulk lots and have been trying to figure out a box size that would be good for the 300-600 card range. I'm not sure how many cards could safely be mailed in a bubble mailer, as I would be afraid of the different team bags of cards would move around a lot in the bubble mailer, thus damaging them. I have heard of people using BCW boxes, but would you just slap a shipping label on the box and call it good? Or do people typically put that into a bubble mailer so it's at least concealed and not seen as a big box of cards? The main reason I'm trying to not use BCW anymore is because I've been burned by them after spending nearly $400 in supplies. The quality of their boxes are also not as good as I thought they would be. They had refused to take the code you have provided for the 10% off after I had placed my order. I've been watching your videos for a few months now and have gone back to watch some of your older content as well. I'm not sure if you ever listed all of the shipping supplies you use like the team/poly bags, various box sizes and brands and any other must have shipping supply products. I know you're a fan of the shipping shields and have even shifted the type of envelopes you use for bigger orders that would be in between a PWE and bubble mailer. I'm just not sure if you have ever gone in detail with all of the products you use.

I haven't used the Magic Sorter myself, but much of the feedback or reviews I've heard about it are that it's not simple to get set up and often comes with a lot of maintenance or even repair work that needs doing to get it going smoothly, which is why I've not jumped on getting one. Haven't really had any similar kind of issues with this CardBot though, just some fiddling with settings to get it dialed in
