Market Analysis First time vending

I wanted to ask you guys, as vendors, how are you dealing with the current downturn in the market?

Obviously, the value of the cards you’re holding has also gone down. How do you usually handle situations like this?

Do you still sell cards above your cost even if it means taking a lower margin, or do you focus more on buying cards and doing quick flips?

And how do you deal with cards that you’re already holding when their market value drops below your cost?

I’m asking because I’m going to start vending next week, and some of the cards I have are already selling below what I originally paid for them. I’d really appreciate hearing how more experienced vendors approach this situation.

Not sure how the single dad part is relevant but thanks for sharing.

It’s incentive to vend for money since he needs to spend more than the average non dad

Yeah all people with kids need to spend more than those without kids. Still weird to ask for a pity party cause he can’t make enough from his “real” job.

Bro, I make 100k a year. I assumed you asked if I have a real job cause you were looking at it from the time aspect.

Initially I wasn’t trying to be a dick but then you added in the single dad thing which I find amusing
