I saw your Vice video and got extremely motivated to figure this out. Found a supplier, been getting product in and been grinding on tiktok and fb. Already over 5k in rev in 2 weeks (Nothing like yours ofcourse) but been moving thanks for the extra tips :)
Really cool stuff, thanks for explaining. I'm not looking to get into selling cards but i do want to start my own business so any extra nuggets of info are appreciated.
I'm just starting out! Thanks for all the great info! The major difference between a Business Credit Card and a personal credit card is that the utilization of the business credit card will not effect you personal utilization rate. That can be a big deal for some people. It helps your personal credit look good to creditors if you expect to have a revolving balance on credit cards. Not an expert, I just researched it! Thanks again!
Thanks for making this video. I appreciate your time and effort in helping people start their own business. I’ve always dream of having my own trading card business selling yugioh, Pokemon and other tcg. But i don’t really know how to start. This video is very helpful. Not a lot of people want to put out all the info out there of how they did it, but thank you for doing this.
Really glad to have helped! We have a 2nd video up now that will help A LOT! www.pokene.com/so/64Nppmzvm?languageTag=en&fbclid=IwAR1zajdkGIMO5lAcUBcV_-7nIb-0wn2TlqTD7bBkJRaiuyOyAM0OdDmBUvQ#/main
Thank you very much. This was so informational and put into words I can actually understand. Im honestly not sure how this doesn't have more views. Especially considering how many people ask these questions all the time.
Looking forward to following along. Hoping to be a part of the slim margin that can share a success story anywhere close to yours lol. Pretty excited about selling TCGs, love them anyways. Would love a video about how to get in contact with Japanese suppliers.
Thank you!!!! Wish my fiancé and I luck. I’m a union carpenter in Seattle making 50$ an hour, and she works at a church make 24$, but, Seattle is so expensive we’re still barely able to make it. We have three kids and we all love Pokémon.
Just bought 2 booster boxes of Raging Surf on ebay.. I could sell each pack for 3.50 to get my 30% of it. Starting small. First of all, I wanna check if there is a market for Japanese cards in Germany. You inspired me to try. Saw your first video yesterday. 😅
I did have one question actually. I got my start on whatnot and seem to be growing relatively quick buttt I am just now realizing that whatnot takes a lot more than other platforms. Where would you go from that point? Try to redirect my following on whatnot to another platform? Keep growing on whatnot and then start a website? Just curious where I should go from here.
When I was younger, I hated that people would raid walmart and other stores and buy up all the stock to flip on Ebay. But today, it's just as bad with all the content creators who do the same thing in order to open pack on their channels, especially the bigger guys like Pokerev who will literally make a video opening 15-20 boxes of stuff he says he bought at walmart. Now I know he can buy all that stuff online or through his distributor for less, hell, he can even buy it on TCGplayer for less usually, so why not leave the stuff in the stores alone so kids have a chance to get something? Just douchebaggery in my opinion. Anyways, enough of the ranting. I just recently started slowly getting into the business, sell online and also at a local flea market on the weekends. Flea market isn't bad business. Only seller I competed with there basically charged scalper prices on everything. Like way high. $8-$10 for a lot of V cards with a market value of less than $2. I showed the office staff this, and they banned him from the flea market b/c they have a rule against scalping. So now it's just me selling $500-$800 per weekend with a 30-50% profit margin on most of my stuff. Good side business, but I want to expand.

Thank you for this video! I may have found a supplier. I am doing a test order today. Do you have any tips on how to spot fake japanese pokemon cards.
I'm in kansas city, and would love to get a quote from you to pick up in person considering it be cheaper than shipping.
Haven’t watched the other videos yet, but how do you keep shipping cost low?

Website on wix and stream on twitch. Trust me

Question.
What did you use to build your site?
