@@ROBO_NUKEYO I wake at 2 am and blend a 64 oz shake full of egg whites, Turmeric (organic, obviously), broccoli sprouts, salt I grind off rocks from a local beach, and protein powder all before I start a 3 hour workout consisting of a 5 mile run (barefoot, by the way) and 10 exercise CrossFit circuit.

@@erncollects lmao first of bud I didn’t ask for your “off day” 😂 second you’re crazy if you wake up in the middle of the night to workout. But if you want to know I get home from my job at 5am. Make breakfast kiss my wife before she heads out. Take our daughter to school. Take out my two huskies. Then do a 45 min workout at my home. In my socks 😂. You got so triggered it’s funny that someone actually grinds salt from their local beach ☠️ but you keep doing you. All I was saying from the beginning is if someone is doing something why compare them with someone else? Doesn’t make sense to me. Rather if you’re doing the same thing he does compare yourself instead. Peace ✌🏽

Dude this is an awesome video. I learned a lot and appreciate you candid attitude. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

This was a great video. I have five cats, including a big orange one who is 'my guy', and I totally get it. We sleep in the same bed, and he usually wakes me up. That connection makes everything work for me. This was also fascinating as someone who just recently got back into the Pokemon TCG hobby and is messing around with some light reselling. I love how involved you are with the local community.

I’m loving all these business vlogs popping into my feed lately

This was a really interesting video! I’ve contemplated selling Pokemon cards before, but hadn’t really put much thought into the operations. Great work and much respect 😊

Not boring at all, i found it very interesting, i yust started with pokemon card hobby again after more then 25 years so happy to learn how others do it. Great video and give those 2 monsters a treat from me.

we have similar days. im currently doing pkmn cards full time. it's honestly pretty rough with the market right now, it seems everyone is a pkmn card seller now streaming etc. one of the hardest parts is doing taxes, most people don't even start a business to sell cards and keep track well. i have over 5000 graded cards and like 4000 singles to work with. smart to have a store to do consignment with, as that's still less than ebay. the process of listing on ebay is extremely tedious. it was cool to see your cats too lol

Hey Java. Quick question about Buyee. What’s your experience buying Charizard cards on there?? Everytime I look at them there’s a warning about the listing containing the word ‘lizard’ which is prohibited to ship, so they won’t ship it even if I win the item. Always held off buying Charizard cards for this reason

I would definetly buy all of that newer bulk you have next to E-series lol I need more bulk for decks 🤣

Hey man I've just seen your video, and subscribed in first 10 seconds. As the saying goes normally 10 seconds need to hook you up to good content. I like your content, I'm an accountant and I would LOVE to see a video of how you do your excel sheets. P.s I've paused on 3:00 to try to figure it out, but I'm few percent off, so I would be glad to see a video of that manner. Anyways thank you for the content, new here, hope to see more.

Question I still have is about the grading of cards. How often do you send cards in? Or do you not do that? Buying cards already PSA graded then reselling?

The boxes for shipping are called "RUSPEPA Recyclable Corrugated Box Small Box Mailers". You might be able to find others but those are what I use currently.

the plastic bag is for sure a lil cheap/ghetto. you can buy bubble wrap for very cheap, or just use a bubble mailer instead of a box.

Id personally prefer a box if I was buying a slab so that's why I choose to use it, but I know lots of sellers and that do the bubble mailer and it seems to work for them. The bag surprisingly gives good protection as shown in the video but I can understand the perception of it as being cheap.
