Yeah I guess you’re right… seeing as the deal flow is limited, I remember when this popped up on CC I looked into the solds and listed and if I’m not mistaken it had been a while one had sold, so then I checked Heritage since I know I saw it sell in the first week of July auction and when you account for the buyer’s premium vs. CC 13k vs. currently listed - eBay fees (if you’re the seller) it just all levels out to pretty even lol so it seems its what current market price would be for that box is something like 12-13
I have bought boxes off Joe and done some decent trading and they have always been polite and reasonable when emailed directly.
I bought one of the three 1st ed destinys they had listed in January at a discount after some to and fro at a fair price.
DAC is a business needing to pay overheads and supporting livelihoods so of course you aren’t going to get steals, they know the asking price is beyond what anyone will pay, Joe has said this openly on virbank and other pages when advertising product, he knows the prices are outrageous though if something’s listed at current market and its snapped up immediately thats potential lost income to a business needing to make profit…
Nah was talking about trade in value to buy his WOTC boxes. He offered me $800 for each of my 5 1st ed base set blisters 2 months ago when I was trying to trade for a 1st ed jungle box he had. I said “you’re kidding right?” He said “no it’s the best I could do”. Again he’s uninformed at times and obviously doesn’t know the market that well as he offered me about 67% less than what I could of sold on eBay at the time.
He gave me a decent deal on my aquapolis packs but I decided to just go forward with ebay sales and I ended up making more than his offer already and havent even sold them all yet. Its really about how much work you wanna do
isn’t that life in general? you buy the cut up pieces of poultry at a supermarket for 4.99 a pound, or you can try to raise your own chicken…just as an extreme example.
it’s how much you value your time and the experience/effort of doing something yourself.
Lol ya he was trying to make a quick buck. However, he needs to be more informed on how to make Pokémon deals as he 100% thought I didn’t know how valuable my stuff was I was trying to sell. I can’t stand low ball offer people.
