Liked and subscribed. Everything was accurate. I sell Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! products for a living (while I'm still a college student) and it really isn't as easy as people think it is. Everyone is always asking for discounts, but they don't seem to have any idea how taxes work. I'm currently living in the Netherlands (Europe) and you pay a shit ton of taxes every 3 months. If you want to make this your side hustle, but don't have a lot of capital, I'd suggest you start with buying collections at a low percentage and flip them online or at random events where there are a lot of people.
Very nice video, Will. There's definitely rising issues with Distributors raising cost. Once they begin acting like a seller, they should have their Distribution rights stripped, imo. They're buying so low from Pokemon already, and pretty much holding a monopoly on distribution rights with most of the tcgs out there, it's ridiculous on their part. Even Walmart has seen MJ Holding raising prices recently. But really enjoyed your break down and is very accurate. Keep up the great work and wishing you all the best in the future with the hobby
Was waiting to speak to the VA about doing a business. I actually have been doing exactly what is done with sealed but with graded cards going on 3 years now. This helps me alot thank you.
Dude please keep making videos like this! It will definitely pay off. These are incredibly helpful.
5k subs by JULY! Very informative and helpful for everyone trying to start a business and make a better future for them and the Pokémon community. Thanks buddy
I suspect it was a lot easier to get access to a distributor 5 years ago (which you allude to). I have a business set up etc...but no brick and mortar. So...no dice. Kudos for doing this at your age. When I was your age, I had no clue, haha!
Amazing video!!! I have always wondered about a distributor but most others do not give such good info. Keep up the good work!
I love this video and this man (no Diddy). But this helped me grasp the understanding of how things go as a person interested in making a business with Trading Cards and such. I subbed and put notifications up for the first time. 😊
So wholesome! Thank you for the info! Earned a sub today! I’ve been wanting to find a distributor for a while and you gave info that other videos didn’t that I needed to make the step forward!
This is some of the best and most concise info on this topic I’ve come across. Thank You!
Keep doing videos like this. This was very informative and very helpful. Currently I want to sell sealed products and didn’t know where to start. Keep it up bro🔥
keep this info coming I knew about needing a business license in nj to get them to even contact you
"and future self". Thats a great way to look at it. Subbed for knowing the importance of self reflection.
I have no desire to do anything of this sort but it was a fascinating video. Great job!
Dude, you are an awesome human being! Glad to have you in the Pokemon community
Earned my sub with this video. I've been trying retail arbitrage for months now and have terrible margins. If I'm looking to keep it going as a side thing, UT sounds like it might be worth getting a distributor. Thanks for the video
Really liked this video. I have been trying to decide which way I would like to take this journey. I am debating on starting a break channel and eBay/ local sales business. But I’d like to grow my name in social media circles before getting the distributor. You got my subscription.
I was looking to get into wholesale distribution of video games or TCG. I have an LLC and am tax exempt in my state. The main issue I had with deciding whether to do it or not, was the profit margin. Like you said in the video, the best way to make money is to sell large quantities because you are only making a few dollars per sale. Also for me, I do not have a storefront so it would take up so much space to store everything although I do have a storage unit with AC and some empty room in my house. In my opinion unless you are going to spend say $100,000 to buy product it would be better to use as a collecting/investing tool. You can get the item for cheaper than you would pay in store. You covered basically everything in this video. Much appreciated.
Watched this video years ago, now I'm back.
