How do you guys find deals?
Hey everyone,
I'm a beginner TCG flipper selling on eBay, based in Australia. One thing that makes it tougher here is that PSA grading takes a few months to come back, so grading isn't a quick way to turn cards over.
I mainly try to flip One Piece (so far unsuccessfully) and I've recently started getting into Riftbound as well. My only profitable flip so far was a Boa Hancock card from the tin. I found it at a card show for $140 AUD and sold it for $220 AUD. Other than that, I've mostly just been losing money.
The main problem is that card shows seem to overprice most of their stock, so it's hard to find real deals. Card shops price their cards really well too, so there's not much margin there either. Right now I'm just buying whatever I think will move, like Boa, Luffy and Zoro.
I'm starting with a $1000 budget, and I'd love to know what your strategy is for finding deals:
- Are you sourcing mostly from eBay, card shows, Facebook Marketplace, or somewhere else?
- Do you buy sealed product and flip singles, or buy singles directly?
- Any tips for someone in Australia dealing with the long grading times?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Turn trading cards into cash flow using real flips, PSA grading, and compounding systems. No hype. Just scalable strategy.
