So assuming I have 540 AUD (around 410 USD) in bank and have the following options for buys, which would people claim to be the most profitable/wisest to purchase in regards to demand, possible resale and collecting.
2003 Best of Game *Winner* Promo, Rocket’s Mewtwo (PSA 10) - 180 USD
2002 Best of Game *Winner* Promo, Electabuzz (PSA 10) - 115 USD
1999 Base Set Unlimited, Charizard (PSA 9, possible regrade) - 175 USD
2002 Neo Destiny, Shining Raichu Unlimited (Ungraded, small whitening on one corner. Okay chance at 10, if not definite 9) - 75 USD
1999 Base Set 1st Edition *German*, Venusaur (PSA 10) - 85 USD
Legendary Collection Booster Pack - 140 USD
Chinese 1st Edition Base Set Booster Pack - 55 USD
Honestly, almost all of those are overpriced. Legendary Collection packs are almost half of that, Turmoil decks are less, Raichu is less, PSA 9 Char is less, etc. I don’t know if there is an extreme premium from living in Australia but I would definitely shop around for a while. Even on eBay right now you can find all of those for cheaper. Hope this helps
Where are you seeing the lower prices? I’ve tried looking for lower turmoil theme decks, legendary collections boosters, etc and those are literally the best, if not all I was able to view on ebay. I’m not sure what other sites to use and in terms of local traders I could contact I really have no clue :s
A lot of listings are filtered out based on your location settings.
Probably stay away from foreign sealed stuff and theme decks though. Your returns will be meh.
A PSA 9 unlimited Charizard would be good because there are a lot of them in circulation so it’s easy to be patient to pick up a cheap one and it’s base set charizard, you can never go wrong.
But if I was you I’d do some research and flip pokemon center exclusive product instead imo.
