Need some advice

[softballa04]

Okay so for the last couple weeks I have been hanging out at a card shop in my town of Des Moines. This last week I have started to help sort through bingders of cards. Pulling out any cards that book for $10.00 or over. He gives me cards in return for working for him.

Well today he offered to let me rent a case from him. $20 a month and he would take 5%. I have a lot of cheap gu's and autos and a lot of rookies in the $5-$10 range. Since Christmas is coming up do you think I should do it??

He has a lot of business come in there but I'm scared that poeple are only buying packs and boxes.

WHat do you think??

For $20, I would do it for a month and judge interest from there...

[Aikman_TheGreat]

So he is wanting rent AND interest. I dont know about that. But yeah I would do it one month or so and see if it works.

I used to do this and it worked great. The shop I used to use went under, and I havent yet convinced my new one to do it. I was also charged $20, but 10% per card as well. Good luck if you decide to do so.

It's not interest...it's a consignment fee.

viking did you make any money on it and what kidn of cards did you sell. also what kind of prices compared to book value.

If you are scared then I would not recoment that you do it. I know that I would not do it. Either the guy needs to charge you rent, or a consignment fee. I can only think of one reason that he would charge you both. Does anyone know another place that does this.

llike 99% of places do that...in this hobby and others.

yeah im not scared because of this. that is the standard i think. I'm just wondering how 10 gus and rookies that range from 5-15 will sell.
