Sounds like a dream job working within the industry, with great potential for earnings. Too bad I live on the West Coast. Good Luck.

edmundfitzgerald

Send in your resumes you young Mr. Mint's out there.

Best of luck Rick.

I thought Wes Spece took this position? Oh well, if my new store wasn't doing so well I would be interested.

RonBurgundy

What's your new store selling?

Is this a fair salary?

edmundfitzgerald

TTT for people who were busy on Christmas day.

BossierBill

My new store is selling precious metals. I'm doing quite well, thanks for asking.

Probstein123

Is this a fair salary?
==> its a sales job, they can make more than 150K is they produce....

Got to love the used cars salesperson approach regarding "producing".

==> this isn't social work or a teaching position....what terminology would u prefer ?
ever see glengarry glen ross ? well, its less intense than that ....

I think this is a great opportunity for someone looking to get into the business as a professional.
Very cool that Rick is posting the opportunity on this forum.

jackstraw

You are on pace for 14 million in sales on Ebay? Is this the only avenue of sales?

twalker

In these tough times this sounds like a great opportunity. Good luck Rick!

I think we all would've appreciated a thread announcing that the Wes Spece era had come to a close. I think that's the least that could've been done after we invested so much time and energy. To not give us any closure is just wrong.

14 million for 2013 and 2014 combined?

It looks like they have done a little under 4 million in the last 90 days, so my guess would be he meant in the last 12 month period. Edit to add that PWCC has done 2.8 million in the same timeframe and the next closest seller in terms of volume that I have seen is 4 sharp corners who sold about 1 million dollars in the last 90 days between their 2 accounts.

NickM

4SC sells an awful lot directly through their website, so the volume number there is not very meaningful - if it dropped by 50%, they might be very happy.

Nick

Wonder what percentage PWCC nets off the consignments he takes in?

Probstein123

==> yes , this is correct....we only sell on ebay and we did around 3.8 million in the last 90 days....around 58,000 auctions , average sale is around $65 per auction ....

mesapsa

Probstein, has this been filled at this point?

grote15

Calling Wes Spence!

Probstein123

I'm still looking....would love to add somebody to the team....also, we are about to move into a larger office....

mesapsa

Probstein, as stated it says you will have to work out of the office in NJ, what part of NJ is this office going to be located in? Are you looking into the possibility of a store front location or are you going to be web only? What would be the main duties while in the office?

mesapsa

The reason I am asking about location is if its in Newark, anywhere NY the cost of living would eat up that $150,000 if I were to make that level.

His e-mail and phone number are listed in his signature. It might be a smart idea to call him instead of post these questions publicly...

No he's right, I made $150k selling Bubble Gum Cards there before and ended up on the street begging for change by the end of the year.

curious if these figures include the cards that are listed multiple times and ironically never paid for? ie. 1977 Eckersley psa 10. think it was listed and/or auctioned off 3 to 4 times before it was finally listed as a realistic buy it now. understand the "volume" aspect and that some times people flake on paying, but is 4 times a coincidence?

No horse in this race, but I'm pretty confident that Rick knows how to capture and recognize top line sales. He doesn't get paid unless he gets paid.

I have purchased cards off Rick and had him re-list in the store before. Multiple occasions. I think it looks weird, but nothing shady going on. Cannot attest to the multiple auctions.

begsu1013

not implying anything shady by rick himself and I guess I am talking auctions...theres a 73 ryan opc 8 that is on the block now that has been auctioned now 3 times...I understand that he doesn't get paid unless it gets paid for but I would say it's the exact opposite of normal for the same card to be auctioned 3 or 4 times without getting paid for.

If he was committed to gaining top line sales for hockey cards he would ship to Canada.

mesapsa

If he doesn't currently ship to Canada that can always change in the future!

A great opportunity for someone here who may live in the area. I think it is pretty cool the offer is extended to our great CU community.
