In today’s video I go over every single thingthat sold for me on my weekly Whatnot Auctions that I host every single Wednesday at 6 P.M. PST so if you aren’t doing anything, feel free to stop by and say hello and to chat with our community over on Whatnot :) this week was an amazing week for me personally because I finally move a lot of the basketball and Disney cards that I hadn’t been able to move at prices I was happy with getting for them, it’s really nice to be at the stage of my Whatnot, that I can start seeing the gains increase and the amount of support that comes through my channel is definitely amazing to see. I’m very much hoping to be able to increase the total amount of streams that I’m able to do, but I’m worried about properly being able to source the quality of inventory and the quantity of inventory that I like to sell; one of the things I’ve realized is there’s a big need for me to personally get out of my comfort zone with deals and to explore into the higher dollar cards, to explore into those oddball and the sets that might not be widely offered to those patrons on Whatnot who are looking for anything to do with some unique Disney cards, to Star Wars, to wrestling. Expanding my different segments and offerings can be a very important and key part of being able to offer more streams while not impacting the quality and quality of my inventory.

I buy Elite Card Savers on eBay. $117 dlvd for 2500. Less the .05 each and as good as the CBG ones I have always used. Nice videos, will check out your whatnot.
That’s a good deal, yea I like the cardboard gold ones, I might try out some different ones eventually but not sure. Thanks for the suggestion :)
I would love to get back into selling on Whatnot but i have no time to promote myself on Social Media to get the amount of followers I need to hav ea good show. Please do a in depth video on how to run a good show as I sell on ebay but would love to get some cards to fly on whatnot. TY for all you do
Make sure you subscribe so you can enjoy more content I post in the future, honestly before I started posting consistently on TH-cam, I’ve had the same amount of average viewers as I do then, as I do now that I have a TH-cam channel. It’s just something you might think impacts my sales, but most of the time I don’t really think it impacts the amount of people in my rooms. One of my goals is to create a program to help further people’s ambitions of being a successful whatnot seller, im a little hesitant to post all that I know about whatnot because I have had some people in real life that I’ve shared my knowledge with, just pretty much start streaming directly after I start my stream, and also seeing good success just by what I’ve told them in the 5 minutes I talked to them.
Very well done, James! Close to $600 in profits. The break down at the end is stellar!
The profits were ~ 300$ but yes a very nice stream! The total sold is referring to before fees and shipping, the “revenue” is what is paid out to me after printing out the shipping labels :) but I’m still very happy with the stream this week, I went double over time on it and they wanted me to do another encore streamed for like 4 hours and 50 minutes and still ended up getting every single package shipped out by the end of the next business day :). It was very nice meeting you in person! As always I appreciate your support
That's a Good Amount
Yes it is! One of the higher quantities of cards I’ve sold in a single streams, especially by only doing 1 and 2 card auctions for the most part

Hey, great variety of cards! As a Whatnot seller, I’ve only sold baseball cards, although I have football and basketball. Since Whatnot forces you to select a single category (sport), I’ve always selected baseball, which I have the most of. How are you able to attract people to your streams for multi-sport and non-sport and do so well? Also, do you ship without top loaders without having any complaints or issues? Are most shipped without top loaders?
I ship on eBay and rarely use top loaders. Penny sleeve then team bag and between two pieces of cardboard. Always get good reviews for my shipping packaging. And I’ve hardly sold 472 items in the last 2 years on eBay. Thinking I need to get over on what not asap
I make sure to ship every single card either in a toploader, a card saver, or a one touch. I’ve found I just would rather give the customer the best service possible and ensure that they are happy when opening their package up. For me, eventually I’ll be putting every single card into a new Toploader as well, if the Toploader gets too scratched up I don’t send it in that one, but the lighting in my house isn’t the best so sometimes I might miss our on ones worst than I would want to send. Also what seemed to have helped me is just going for it, I mainly do football so I stream in the football category but I sold some baseball, some basketball, and some Disney cards all during this weeks stream. I think it would be different for baseball streamers though because a lot of baseball fans like baseball alot more than other sports and might only collect that one. But if you do varierty, sometimes you gotta have cards that might be more popular cards for the ones you don’t usually do. Like if you ran a game used Dwayne wade patch during the baseball crew, typically more people might be interested in that card than something like a xavier worthy card who’s a rookie wr for the chiefs
You definitely have to grow your whatnot in order to be comfortable with the prices you realize for cards that you sell on there, it’ll be a lot of sales that you might have been able to get a bit more for, but the nice thing is once you grow an audience and do take those risks and chances you can then start to make higher margins, I’m currently hoping to increase the number of streams I do each week, which then would in turn increase the reach and then in turn increase the prices I get hopefully as well
@@ruffasportscards have you ever figured out how much you spend to actually ship a $1 card? Thats the whole reason I stopped using top loaders. I used to send everything in them until I realized some sales I was only making .$40 in the end after packaging and shipping. Top loaders are pricey unless you buy them in huge bulk orders. I haven’t had any negative reviews ever on my shipping and most people give good feedback for my safe shipping. But I guess 472 sales in a day you can make a little less per card 😂😂
@beliedat2457 that’s an amazing question :) I offer the first class mail letter program; so on orders with 2-5 cards when I’m able to I send them in a card saver in a plain white envelope, for single card orders I send them in a envelope in a Toploader because the Toploaders are just slightly cheaper, and typically you have more cards you acquire in Toploaders. This also allows me to stockpile Toploaders each week whenever I don’t use them because of the 2-5 card orders, doing that 40 or so times can really increase the supply and thus increase how long my supply of Toploaders last, I haven’t had much complaint other than the occasional one with shipping via this method because of the cheapness of the shipping program, where they save on shipping, I can then make it directly and then also cut costs as well by not having to offer a bubble mailer, Toploaders for every card, and stockpiling supplies. But it would really depend on the situation; like if they only bought a single 1$ card it would cost me the price of the envelope which is 2 cents, the cost of half a piece of paper, which is about .5 cents or so, the cost of a team bag which is about 2 cents as well and a shipping label which seems to cost me 1 cent; so I’m only spending 6 cents to ship a single 1$ card order. For 2 card lots I use a card saver costs me 13 cents (now cheaper tho because I bought a case which new cost would be 7.664 cents) but the two Toploaders I would potentially gain saves me 7.364 cents I would’ve instead spent later on for Toploaders, then the 2 cents on the envelope, 3.357 cents for a graded card sleeve (I’ll look into cases for these next purchase I do) and then half a piece of paper which is .5 cents so as of now it costs me 18.407 cents for 2-5 cards, but averaging it down, The 2 card lots cost 9.2035 cents per card, for 3 cards 6.135667 cents per card, for 4 cards 4.60175 cents per card, and for 5 cards 3.6814 cents per card, which the money I’d then would have spent on the Toploaders I potentially got off the cards I put into the card saver would have then been higher! I’m gonna make a video on this because I’m amazed with this that I’m technically saving money by shipping cards, but sometimes you buy cards with stickers on the Toploader so those become useless but I’d say at least 50% or so of the cards I get come in useful Toploaders. For orders with 6 cards and more that would be a different equation and conversation however.
I can never sell on whatnot and idk y
Appreciate your support, if you haven’t already make sure you subscribe so you can enjoy more content in the future. I’m gonna make a video or 2 about how to increase sales, but the First class mail letter is an absolute game changer… one of the biggest things about selling on whatnot is the shipping price.. no one wants to spend 5$ out of the gate for a card that they can get for 3$.. it’s just natural human psychology. If value is added, they will enjoy the purchase and thus end up bidding and winning auctions, if value is taken why would they want to bid on anything. The first class mail letter changes this because of the cheap cheap shipping! The shipping cost for the customer on 5 cards might be a maximum of about $1 and change compared to if you were to have only the ground advantage and other bubble mailer shipping shipping options enabled.. you can pay 4$ for shipping, 1$-X$ for a card and then after all of that you need it to be a 6$ card for it to make sense to spend 1$ at the start. Let alone that but no one ever knows the next inventory You’ll run.. I’ve ran shows with the first class mail letter and buyers know what to expect they can expect 200+ auctions weekly on Wednesday at 6 PM PST. I know each week I NEED to have a show planned to sell 200+ auctions all at 1$ that should sell. So I plan accordingly and make sure I have a nice lineup of inventory for them before hand and then rapid fire auction them off.
