My Back Story:
I originally started buying and selling Pokemon Cards on eBay in 2009 (Sophomore / Junior Year of H.S.). I immediately fell in love with eBay and the Pokemon Business! After building-up a fairly-successful eBay Store (Old Skool Pokemon Cards) through high school, I went off to college in the Spring of 2012. I tried keeping-up with my eBay Business while in college; however, I unfortunately had to close my eBay Store during my sophomore year in college… Going to school, working part-time, and running my eBay Business just got to be to much - so I shut-down my eBay Store / Account and sold-off my entire inventory.
While my eBay Business was no-longer, I never stopped browsing eBay and the Pokemon Category - still not knowing that one day I would re-open my eBay Store! After graduating from college in June 2015, I received my first “adult job” onboard a RO/RO (car carrier). I spent from August 2015 until January 2016 onboard the RO/RO working as a Third-Mate. When I finally returned home in January, I quickly realized that having four-months off with nothing to do once all my friends went back to school and/or work during the week would get REALLY BORING, REALLY FAST! One night in Early-February, I was having a few drinks and browsing eBay - low-and-behold I found someone selling-off his ENTIRE COLLECTION of Pokemon Cards (15,000 to 20,000 Cards)! After having placed the item on my Watch List for a few days, I decided to go for it - I submitted my Best Offer and the seller Accepted! The rest was history; I created another eBay Account for my new eBay Business, opened a new eBay Store, and began selling Pokemon Cards!
I still work as a Third-Mate with a four and four rotation (four on / four off). While working, I place my eBay Store on Vacation Mode. When I return from work - after spending a few days relaxing and partying - I re-open my eBay Store and spend an un-healthy amount of time during the week sorting through Pokemon Cards and Browsing eBay! I truly have the best of both worlds - am able to spend four months traveling the world with my dream-job; returning home for four months to run my eBay Business! While my eBay Business is profitable; I no longer run my eBay Business for the profit (although that part is nice) - I now run it for “fun-sake”! I truly enjoy buying and selling on eBay!
The Tour:
I enjoy watching YouTube Videos / Tours of “eBay Offices” - and have always wanted to one-day show-case my eBay Office! However, I have never gotten into the whole YouTube Thing and never really considered my eBay Store / Inventory that impressive - until recently that is!
Back in Aug. - Sept. I purchased a large collection of Base Set R. / Un. / C. Cards from Not Zelda Gilroy. Recently, I came across a “wholesale auction” from Rock Carolina. After getting in contact with him, I learned that he was shutting-down his eBay Store and looking to sell-off a portion of his inventory - so I was able to grab Jungle Set through Neo Destiny Un. / C. Cards, Black-Star Promo Cards, and Japanese Vending Series 3 Cards from Rock Carolina (among other things). These two purchases - among other smaller purchases - have led to my current eBay Inventory. After WEEKS of sorting and organizing, my eBay Office is finally back to an “organized state” LOL
Without further ado - here we go!

Walking into my eBay Office
Fortunately, my parents have allowed me to take-over our spare-bedroom! It’s a fairly small spare-bedrrom, so I have my Postage Scale and Printer in my bedroom along with my computer (got to have something to watch Netflix on at night)! Majority of my packaging / mailing supplies are along this wall and inside the Dresser - Flat-Rate Boxes, Bubble Envelopes, Packaging Tape…
Opposite Wall of DresserAll of my back-stock is sorted and organized and placed onto this shelving unit.
Top Shelf: Used to have A LOT of Flat-Rate Boxes filled with Late-1980’s and Early-1990’s Sports Cards. I finally managed to sell-off most of those cards to make room for more Pokemon Cards / Items!
Second Shelf: Rock Carolina Purchase - Jungle Set through Neo Destiny Set C. / Un. Cards and Black-Star Promo Cards. There are two boxes roughly 3/4 Full and two boxes PACKED-FULL! There are also a few sealed WotC-Era Products I have yet to decide what to do with…
Third Shelf: Not Zelda Gilroy Purchase - Base Set R. / Un. / C. Cards. All six boxes are PACKED-FULL!
Fourth Shelf: Ultra-Pro Supplies - Re-Stocking Order has been Placed 
Bottom Shelf: All of the cards that I have yet to sort-through and organize - majority being Japanese R. / Un. / C. and Vending Series 3. There is also a 1st Ed. Neo Destiny Set - that is going straight into my collection!
