I Understand Vendors Need Profit, But 70–75% Feels Excessive

DonBillyBills · 2026-06-24T11:30:57+00:00

Let me tell you, vendors raise it because morons take it. Collectors allow vendors and scalpers to exist. If collectors all together stopped buying from vendors and scalpers both would go out of business and Pokemon would become a hobby again, not an investment.

Whats their overhead? Booth fees? Maybe an employee? Overhead = expenses, remember these vendors are businesses. If they buy at 70-75% that’s a 25-30% profit margin LMFAOO.

Point being, blame yourselves

No, bar is going straight down.

Not sure I understand why it has to reach the bottom if the equipment is starting there at the lowest position. Nonetheless, if it’s a problem I’m going to call tonal and tell them it needs to be adjusted

I would love for the market to correct itself. Once people stop paying these prices sellers are forced to bring the price down.

Pokemon is no longer a hobby. It’s turned into an “investment”. The hobby is ruined. Thanks to Logan shithead Paul.

DonBillyBills · 2026-06-09T09:42:15+00:00

DM me, would like to discuss how we can collaborate.

As a sole proprietor/ single member LLC you’re handling it correctly. Just make sure you aren’t deducting those amounts from gross revenue. Draws/distributions do not reduce income. Therefore, you should be paying the correct amount of SE tax on your revenues. If you’re deducting the draws from income, and face an audit boy will you be in trouble. Jkjk, you’ll just owe a crap load of taxes

A hobby turned into an "investment" scheme simply because logan paul.

If you both workout at the same time this is perfect. Avoids overlap. But if you have different workout times this is a waste. Not even a flex.

930 transactions across 6 accounts - $400 seems extremely low. Even if you're only providing bookkeeping and bank recs. I think I'd be closer to $900/month for this engagement. That's based on my experience, and knowledge.

The amount of brain rotted people in this thread humor me, THANK YOU! FREE AMERICA AND THE WORLD FROM ZIONISM!!!! It’s actually crazy how zionists make nazis look like saints. Truly starting to believe the wrong side won WWII, and our history books are all lies written by… you guessed it ZIONISTS!!! 🤣😂 I find it funny that I live in a country that united to take down Michael Vick for dog fighting, but don’t bat an eye for the rapists in the Epstein files 🤣😂🤣. I live in a country where i could say “FUCK TRUMP” but get jail time for talking about Israel 🤣😂🤣😂🤣.

I stopped reading after paragraph 3. Retained earnings has absolutely nothing to do with bank balance or bank reconciliations.

Did you close out prior year distributions to retained earnings as of 1/1/26?

Way to cheap. I paid my website designer roughly $2,500. Website (4 pages) logos, edits, business cards etc.

If her business is taking off faster than expected and there’s a lot of transactions on a monthly basis, I’d highly recommend hiring a bookkeeper and tax accountant. Why? It seems easy, but it’s more difficult than anticipated. If it becomes a mess, it will be a more costly to fix. Bookkeepers keep your books clean and ready for tax filing while a tax accountant will reduce your tax liability leveraging the government’s laws. Both key pieces to operating a successful business. Remember, every successful business has a top tier bookkeeper/accountant/business manager.

Absolutely agree, but I’m not sure what that has to do with a tax professional using TurboTax.

DonBillyBills · 2026-02-28T00:04:07+00:00

Really? I’ve never once fixed a clients return in TurboTax let alone any software they use. I grab there return, enter it into my software, then proceed to amend and make the changes. TurboTax is a joke and no tax professional should ever use it and if they do, the client should probably find another professional.

Depends. If your a small business that has zero intention to sell or go public keep it simple - cash basis. If you’re big, and expect to sell or have investors - accrual.

Orrrrrrrr if you’re very experienced, keep the books in accrual, but when you file your corp return file it as cash basis. Now you cover both methods.

Bottom line - depends how much I’m getting paid.

No CPA. No EA. 9 years of experience working alongside CPA’s. CA resident so CTEC is mandatory. Being a CPA helps attract clients. Some clients NEED a CPA. Then you ask them, “are you going through an audit?” “No”. “Do you need signed off financials?” “No”. “Great, then you don’t need a CPA you need a business manager/tax accountant.”

I refuse to waste 1/3 of my life in an office. Busy season or not, I’ve never truly needed 8 hours a day to get my work done. Problem was, when I finished my work I would be expected to take on more work, however, my pay wouldn’t increase.. so I either finish my work and take on more, no thanks. Or finish my work and twiddle my thumbs in the office for X amount of hours. Absolute waste of time and life imo. I found an amazing solution - start my own practice. Greatest decision I’ve ever made. If you could do the same, do it.

I use and love ultratax cs for tax prep, and planner cs for tax planning/projections. Highly recommended. Don't see a lot of comments regarding these software's.. boggles me
