CSC#9: The TRUTH About Card Stores and Bulk

Super interesting look at it all. Thank you for sharing

Looks like a great store.

I work 60+ hours a week running a general construction buisness and youre conplaining about placing cards?! Kinda funny ngl

Just put all commons in a box from booster per set. If you have a good customer also buying commons grab them out and semi sort to add to his/her order. If some commons of a set becomes worth like $10+ take the common boxes from that set and start sorting it if not its just not worth the man hours or... Hire a swetshop worker for $1 an hour :)

I like going through bulk and finding the sellable goodies.

Bulk selling is more like panning for gold. You pick up 10,000 dimes eventually you make some good money but, it takes a ton of patience to get there.

As a used book store worker, please-PLease-PLEASE, move all of those cards sitting directly on the floor onto a couple pallets. At least one pallet.

I’ve seen 3 stores flood in the 8 years I’ve worked for them. Trust me, you will be thankful.

I’ve been wondering when someone buys a bulk box off Amazon. Those long white boxes. How are those cards chosen? Some sections of the box seems random but sometimes there will be 10 of the same card in a row like someone just grabbed a handful and stuck them in the box then went back to grabbing one here and there or 4 here and 3 there. Then 9 of the same exact card again. Mtg will have the colors pretty scattered then there’s a section of the box with 27 red cards in a row.

I don't own a game store. I love to see how well it looked established. Love that the fact you tell us! However I cannot understand that you even put time and effort in BULK. Its not worth your time and storage space and money.

THE AUTO SORTER IS AMAZING!

Happy to buy a chink of your bulk from you to help!

Eye opening video, wow

WHY would you disable the safety interlock on the ROCA cover???

I was trying to figure out how 1 inventory could be used for the main store front, channel fireball, and tcgplayer. I know some companies use a 3rd party software to manage and prevent the same item being sold multiple different times. I was wondering how you managed it?

what are those cards in the cases sitting in? Thats a sick display. I have a personal display like that in my house and I want my cards displayed like that lmao. Anyone know? The ones not graded just in the toploaders that are at an angle.

I liked this behind the scenes a lot. And you make a good point the man hours of work are costly for LGS that's why TCG player outsourced that lol

I bought about a million and a half cards about 6 months ago. Already had half million bulk is no joke my friend no joke...and I looooove opening each box.. you are right it is not glamorous work

talk about bulk wow lol i'd like to spend a month in there

Is there a way to recycle bulk to make new cards.

Does anyone know a good way to source bulk?

What’s up Mason!-Mason

Hello fellow Kentuckian!, the shop looks amazing! Great video.

Are you using BinderPOS? What are you using to inventory all this?

That shop looks amazing

Totally worth a like and a subscribe 👍

I also feel there’s gotta be an opening for stoner TCG fans to get work as bulk sorters 😂 pay me 10 bucks an hour and let me sleep in your store and I’ll do this all day long, as long as you don’t question where I go on break

It’s really refreshing to see such an open and honest video about the background process. Love it

How do you avoid overselling a single if you’re listing on multiple sites? I only use eBay and TCGPlayer, and keep them separate.

I am thinking about filling my singles letters with a bunch of paper. Like the maximum I can get in an envelope.

Hope it goes good...

so i have a theory depending on how Intune you are with your reality you can pick up a box of cards and the atoms with let you know thru how you "feel" and what you "feel" like when you hold onto your wife... lol. get rid of the bad boxes increasing your chances of opening the god packs more often...

I like this guy's vibes

Love your videos, your in my home state!

I’m a chef by trade and we waste absolutely nothing if we can help it. Bones are turned into stock that’s turned into gravy all of which takes man hours too but The concept keeps places open. This is almost the same thing. Fascinating to see.

For 10 and hour cash every week for 60 hours per week guaranteed I'll break my back so to speak sir np 😁😬🤤😅😄🥴🥱🤭🤔🤗🧐😒😑🥴😶😯😲🤯😳😖😵🤓🤑😎👹👺👾🤖

I build a decent amount of budget decks, ill definitely start giving you business.

x.75 speed

Wasnt it like 1 bb for 1500 cards? Then why are you saying 10$ for 1000

It feels like the storage size you have for the bulk would cost you more money every month then the actual profit you sell bulk for?

Tyvm 4 this video, very informative! But thank you &your staff for even doing this. Singles are the way, ill check out your online store, man if i lived near you i would love to work sort!

Where did you get that shelving?

Can you give me free Pokemon?

That’s so cool you are in Kentucky! This fall I will be starting college at Transylvania University in Lexington! (I am from Maryland so that’s cool to know an Awesome game store is near by!)

Thank you for making this video. I started my collecting process last month. My bulk has gotten large. I am thinking long term and you are right about sorting cards out. Definitely tedious. I’ll definitely be doing my research of tcg player direct

I just started selling my singles on TCG player and it took me like 6 four hour days to get a good setup going. I only have 5K cards so I can’t imagine what you guys go through lol

Maybe just sit on them for 40 years and not bother selling them (yet). Future pension 😉

Damn the square footage of that place is godly
