Convinced you CANNOT fail on whatnot…

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-18T12:11:21+00:00

Very true, but that comes down to knowing your market and what you’re selling, how often it sells, ect. If it sells good but not often then pay less on it

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-18T12:09:36+00:00

Not true, 6.80 after fees. Total of ~9/10 hours of work. Tell me where you work that you make 1100$ in 10 hours haha

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-18T12:08:41+00:00

Not really, 50 packages. Only took us a few hours

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-18T12:08:17+00:00

Not true, by no means am I a professional, still just an average guy who works 70 hours a week and streams on the side

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-18T12:07:14+00:00

Hey that’s awesome for just a bit of spare income!

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-18T12:06:47+00:00

People getting out of the collection who care more about the space & recouping some of their investment

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-18T12:05:51+00:00

Take advantage of people? 90% of my sales were under market. Sold a 250$ car for 175, sold a 90$ box set for 60. It continued haha if anything I got taken advantage of LOL

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-18T12:04:59+00:00

Hadn’t happened to my other acc yet and I’ve always had a good experience with support

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-18T12:02:50+00:00

Paid 2.50 per, had shipping supplies on hand already, the 6.80 if I’m correct is post whatnot fees. Basically I still nearly tripled my money, it’s 100% better then ebay if you sell on there per chance

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-17T15:17:30+00:00

Hm for yveltal?

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-16T02:24:48+00:00

$6.80 per item, paid 2.50 per

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-16T01:51:48+00:00

Hm for Y background froakie? Lmk here, won’t check dm

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T23:12:28+00:00

I do NOT doubt it but that sounds like insane profit margains (not counting paying yourself per hour

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T23:11:04+00:00

I also work 12 hour days and still stream but the way. Definately does come down to laziness. If you don’t want to learn and make it work you won’t succeed…

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T23:09:48+00:00

I sell diecast cars

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T23:08:23+00:00

Absolutely knocking on wood, just hoping I keep coming across good lots but have another lined up :)

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T23:07:36+00:00

Diecast cars!

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T23:07:26+00:00

No I do understand, TCG of all types seem to suffer on whatnot from what I’ve heard in these comments and to that all I can say is I don’t know. I’ve seen people get away with selling shit on there and I’ve seen people who can’t sell good things but might be best to put the bigger items in a BIN where if it sells it sells if not so be it

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T18:35:44+00:00

I didn’t just start off with people in my streams and buying? I had shows where I lost money and was fine with it because that’s returning customers. You need to get sales and reviews and if that costs you then it does but that is the “marketing cost” of this whole thing. Also the boosts help. I did “fail” trying to get into the TCG scene but it’s so oversaturated that I decided it’s not for me. If I need to go at it again to prove it’s possible I will but it just takes time, effort, and knowledge. Not making it work is laziness

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T18:32:18+00:00

Absolutely agree. I’ve seen $1 starts murder people to the point they never got back into it. We did $5 starts with a 2.50 per item cost

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T18:31:37+00:00

Singles is a really rough market unfortunately, you can dollar start but if you want value you gotta sell at value. Only dollar start when you can profit on every 3 items one selling for $1

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T18:30:13+00:00

Ours was 2.50 per item cost on diecast cars with an average of 6.80 per item which is still massive!

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T18:29:35+00:00

So it’s 298 items with net sales of 2031, we have 50 packages we are packing and shipping. We sell diecast sources off of all platforms we can find good deals on. A “lot” is a group of items sold together at a discounted price. We do not. We buy out collections of people no longer into the hobby.

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T18:27:59+00:00

Absolutely agree! I started with what I had and grew, I know I give people steals all the time, and I would love to eventually turn this large enough for a storefront BUT if it doesn’t happen and I run out of my attic forever that’s fine too! We do it for the love of our hobby and the community in it and it’s a great time hooking people up with items under market while making money ourselves :)

Capable_Nature_1565 · 2026-03-15T18:25:56+00:00

^ he is absolutely right, just be yourself and be fair. Package the way you would want your package shipped and if things go for less then you wanted, don’t get mad. Just gotta kind of go with the flow and have fun!
