The early kick-off to Black Friday weekend by the e-commerce platform generated some interesting sales data in addition to the gross numbers.
Of the $1 million in total sales in the 24-hour period, the way sellers used TCGPlayer.com broke down like this:
- 43% used TCGplayer Pro (TCGplayer’s own platform for managing inventory, selling on TCGplayer.com, and selling in-store)
- 30% used Crystal Commerce (a tool that manages inventory and places products for sale on multiple platforms)
- 27% used Individual Listings (these are items entered onto the TCGplayer platform as individual items for sale, mostly by sellers not part of TCGplayer’s Certified Hobby Shop program).
The $1 million in sales was generated from sales of roughly 400,000 items, with 100,000 shipped out of the TCGplayer warehouse on behalf of sellers.
The top-selling games in the 24-hour period were led by Magic: The Gathering:
