All I want to do is talk about Sportlots

By selling large amounts of them and paying 1/4 1 cent for them. We also sell plenty of higher price cards.

Decided to give it a try and added about 200 cards last weekend. Sold 14 this week. Decided to keep going and added another 650 this morning.

Easy so far. Although had my first box sale which doesn’t make much sense on 2 cards from same buyer and that being only one so far.

Focusing on inserts and new releases first then will start adding more base as I go.

And now just 2 days later you have another 1,200-ish sold. That's amazing, and an inspiration to me of what can be.

I'm guessing you are not doing this from your house. I'm up to about ten 5,000ct. boxes (and countless random stacks) and barely have a foot path left to walk around in my home office. lol

Some days, I sell 1000's of cards. It's pretty crazy really!

I am selling all of these from my house! Ha! If you are planning on doing this long term, you will need to invest in shelving units, and come up with a inventory system, instead of 'random stacks'. Makes things 1000x better/faster.

Hi Bryan, you should repost pics of your storage facility again. It gave many of us to relook at how we are organized. You had the best set up I saw.

[bryanscs]

So here is some updated pictures of my basement. I currently have 2 million+ cards listed on Sportlots, and an additional 4 million cards being 'sorted'.

The box sale could be someone overseas like me. All my orders go to the box.

I have ordered almost 6,000 cards in the last month and a half.

But yea, if you keep your box shipping low you will get sales, I usually don't buy from sellers that have high box shipping fees. Sellers that charge little to nothing get lots of sales for that alone.

Hey bryanscs, you need isle markers like a grocery store. lol

Love the way you decorated your basement.

What kind of insurance you carrying on all of that?

I wouldn't want to move anytime soon. And if you did, I would hire a moving company. That looks exhausting.

This might not be approved by the Czar of Decor here at my place but I am a big fan as well.

That looks awesome!

[nam812]

Honestly, bryanscs' picture reminded me of this picture.

I'm pretty sure that I helped with that.

I have a question. I just got a box order and there was an order for someone else included in mine. i was sent to the box from MARLEW. I contacted Sportlots a few days ago and I'm willing to just send it on to the correct buyer, but I haven't heard back at all.

I'd hate to see MARLEW get nailed for something that isn't his fault, and I'd like the buyer to get there stuff.

Any suggestions?

Yes. MARLEW was the seller. I don't recognize the buyer. kevinc something. I already messaged Sportlots, but if you have a better way to reach them, go ahead.

I do hope they fix this.

One thing I wish was that if a seller didn't have one of the cards in an order, that you would be contacted. Some sellers have the same price for shipping (let's say $3.75) for 1-4 cards. I might want a $10 card that I am willing to pay that $3.75 shipping to get, and I add in 3 base commons just to get to 4 cards and to fill sets. The seller doesn't have the $10 card, and I get shipped 3 commons for $3.75 shipping. Obviously I would have cancelled the entire order if I wasn't getting the one card I really wanted.

Just got back to me and said he is behind on messages and will be caught up by tomorrow. Please let me know if that doesn't happen and will follow up.

I just got a similar message from a buyer this week.

It doesn't happen often but it happens and either inventory is added in improperly, a condition flaw is noticed after purchase or a card was sold elsewhere/misplaced. I ended up missing two of the five cards a guy purchased so I reached out giving him a few options (he ended up substituting for a card and a little cash) but he mentioned that it has happened every now and again and that he hates not getting notified.

I try to do it especially when it look similar to the situation you outlined above.

I often worry about that when I am missing a card and the order is small.
