Anyone register their store as a buyer? If so how did you do it?

I haven't done it, but as I understand it you gotta be a Direct seller. I am not a Direct seller yet.You gotta put some money into your buylist account, which is just like some amount of dollars you're willing to spend. Then you set prices. All cards are shipped to TCG, and then credited to your account when they arrive. TCG does the grading. They charge you the price you set + 10% of the cost of the items you receive. So when stuff comes in, you decide when you want it to be shipped to you. That costs a fee every time, but you can wait until there's a bunch of stuff to ship. They hold it for you in the meantime. If something sells on your seller account, TCG will pull it from the stuff they're holding for you if they can. So you can save sometimes on shipping if you wait. From my understanding, there isn't a limit to how much stuff they'll hold for you. Which I guess means your inventory can theoretically be entirely in their possession. A lot of it is laid out on their site, but since TCG's HQ is pretty close to me I know a few guys who work there. If you have any specific questions about it I can ask them. The employees, at least the ones I have met, seem to love working there, and are generally super jazzed about new stuff that TCG rolls out. So they're all pretty helpful. This buylist thing I think is gonna be bonkers once it gets going.

Yeah I am not a direct seller. But i looked at some of the buy prices and they are worse then Troll and toad, cardkingdom, and abu...etc But I also wanted to just be apart of the buy system and put buy offers on 200-300 cards that would be better then the ones listed. As I could sell the cards myself instead of tcg. I just thought they would like more buyers to increase the likelyhood that someone would use their buylist because they are worse then some of the big boys.anyone know, do you put a deposit with them for card buying or do they take it out of a bank account?

You have to send them a deposit for the initial amount. I think it's check, paypal or bank transfer. You can also have them take it out of the money they would have transferred to you for sales at some percentage per payment. Like you can set it to say 25%, and they'll take that much and put it into your buylist account.The prices don't look all that great right now, but I think it could be very good once it gets going. The fact that any shop in the US can sign up for it is huge. Your small stores can have a presence equal to that of the big timers and likely offer competitive prices on some cards.

They announced today that they will be buylisting at Gen Con this year. So if you get your stuff together by then you might end up with some cards.http://store.tcgplayer.com/help/gencon2016?utm_source=tcg-fb-ad&utm_medium=tcg-fb-ad&utm_term&utm_content=magic&utm_campaign=tcg-fb-ad-gen-con-2016-buylist-announcement The idea of your shop being able to buylist at effing Gen Con is pretty awesome.

yeah unless I missed something only direct sellers at this point can join the buylist.And to be a direct seller you have to sell a lot of cards. Unless I missing something. As it stands I just want to put 200-300 buy prices on cards that I would like to acquire or keep or sell non tcg. But thanks for the info. I really just wanted to give them 5k and then have them use the money up for buying duals, fetches and other what nots

To be a direct seller you gotta sell some cards, but apparently I'm eligible and only do 3 something sales per day on average. Many shops are averaging 100+ a day. Right now my inventory is sitting at 2100 cards, so real small. A lot of that is uncommons and commons.I imagine your inventory slurpee is actually larger than mine is, so I think you could get there. It may not be worth it for ya, but it's not super difficult either.

Based on hilikus' numbers, I have a much smaller inventory and I've already been invited to be a direct seller. slurpee shouldn't have any problems once you get through the rigmarole. __________________
