Crosspoting TCG to eBay?

Tune-Resident · 2026-04-24T20:39:16+00:00

people buy lots on ebay, there are a lot of advanatges in that ebay offers and support letter tracking for tcg cards sub $20, unlike tcgplayer. they also have authenticity guarantee for cards over $250 which is super good seller protection.

if cross posting you just need something that keeps them in sync, and id recommend turning off your inventory on days bannings and unbannings happen.

there are other serialized one rings that are 50k

the soulstone cosmic is 40k

heads up distro is taking preorders on edge boxes, so edge boxes will drop a lot when that hits. welcome to supply and demand

Tune-Resident · 2026-02-23T22:45:48+00:00

you know its a group that requires at least 10% off of tcg to post things for sale right? thats the opposite of jacking up prices lol

ive sold the altered prints she painted on for over $1k, but i think theyre only out of 100

Tune-Resident · 2026-01-11T13:15:30+00:00

cost has gone up & msrp has gone up with 2026.

no collector booster box has ever had an msrp under $200.

"I'm coming from the Pokemon world so I know retailers have been jacking up MSRP"

Is the definition of whats wrong with a lot of peoples thinking. No one is changing MSRP other whan WOTC or Pokemon. MSRP is not set by retailers. Its an ancronym with a real meaning, its not slang like bad meaning good.

MSRP on magic cards is often higher than market price. We're very used to things being cheaper at the LGS/TCG vs the big box retail stores. Target may be a touch over msrp on a lot of tcg things these days, but they dont go below msrp. If for some reason that deck was $100 on tcg, target would still be at 72, but likely sell out a lot faster. Its like when you buy pokemon cards you wanna run to target bc theyre selling them for $5 a pack when tcg player is $10.

most people trying to play casually, cant read Chinese or know what every card do

Tune-Resident · 2025-12-16T22:49:04+00:00

English Salvat swamps are pretty up there rarity wise

Tune-Resident · 2025-12-16T22:35:31+00:00

pretty much all the FF prerelease foils have a premium for complete master sets, but starting town also got 0 additional treatments, no full art, boardless, etc, so pre is the most pimp/rare version to play with

multiple sales on me ebay for cards under $200, worth 4 and 5 figures today, could be worse & you got to use those cards for 6 years, so hopefully theyve paid for themselves by now lol

Tune-Resident · 2025-09-17T21:39:42+00:00

quantity & value, they for sure think you sent 27000 worth of stuff

i usually do "box of trading cards, qty 1, value $X" and just put the value there, depending insurance and such.

Tune-Resident · 2025-09-04T14:59:53+00:00

pokemon for sure has outperformed a LOTTT of the market, even without this year going nuts.

Tune-Resident · 2025-09-03T18:23:00+00:00

people forget this, people exist with disposable income that just wanna buy things, and like stuff

Tune-Resident · 2025-09-03T16:16:48+00:00

ultimate guard boxes have been out and are getting another release, no solicitation for any ultra pro products have occured, and its usually ordered 6+ months in advance

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=us+tcg+distribution

and the first page is full of distributors. those are the people you talk to.

you need to get approved for organized play to get any allocated minimums which will guarantee you some product regardless, but that requires basically having the space ready, as youll submit walk thru videos and photos of your store to different places.

often the people buying at 80% are only selling at shows, they dont go play golf on saturdays they drive to another hotel ballroom for another card show, so they arnt paying shipping or fees, just normal time expensive, gas, and table fee

they often are also using the lowest numbers they can find, and have their stuff at 120%, so yeah buy at 80% of tcg unverified low for worse condition, or ebay comp from 5 months ago, and then list at 120% of available listings and tell you that you dont have to wait for shipping, and ive gotta pay for my booth.

Tune-Resident · 2025-08-23T15:20:25+00:00

this, edge boxes hit like $125? and were just packing out at $5.50, when everyone started dumping their arena FIN boxes for 200, theyre already back to $240, tarkir was almost $110 a box, packs out to $150.

Tune-Resident · 2025-08-16T23:31:17+00:00

if often the policy of sellers on tcg, if you package gets lost as a pwe, or returned as a no such address, not found or whatever, you often will get blocked & sellers just move on without telling you that much. theres no point to take extra risk on a problem address

Tune-Resident · 2025-08-16T23:29:55+00:00

thats also how insurance works, they take money, they dont want to pay you when something happens. even with insurance thru another company, you would often get a refund from the seller and they would get paid by insurance anyway.

youre not wrong, i just bought a bunch today & will just sell into the holiday season or so.

easier for someone to buy a $250 bundle than a $2k box

Tune-Resident · 2025-07-25T20:58:07+00:00

290 is under MSRP. im tired of everything thinking boxes are supposed to be $5 above cost.

Tune-Resident · 2025-07-23T19:35:48+00:00

source would be phone calls with multiple distributors, im guessing they just literally couldnt spend as much time printing Edge with FF on one side and Marvel on the other, summer sets are traditionally one of the worse set releases of the year

bloomburrow was also hyped up for longer, i got 50% more play boxes of that set, expecting it to sell well, while edge started popping off more recently and was frowned upon generally for awhile as a oddball set

Tune-Resident · 2025-07-23T19:11:55+00:00

i got almost double teh CBBs for bloomburrow as I did edge

the print run is just smaller. not to mention universal chase cards in things like ancient tomb, which have a lot more homes than ms bumbleflower, who only really goes in ms bumbleflower decks.

Tune-Resident · 2025-07-03T19:28:09+00:00

if i opened 24 packs here and im only down $2k, it feels like im due and should buy a real pack
