Title: Current value of set 14
Post by: domse on January 13, 2019, 05:16:25 AM
I am currently digging through my collection to put things for sale. I was wondering how much a full  Expanded MiddleEarth set (14R1 - 14R15, 1 card each, mint, english) is going for nowadays. Also, I was wondering whether these are sought after as sets or individuals (I have seen high variance in singles prices on some sites).

Sorry to open a new thread, but it felt better than posting it to the ancient sticky one.

The market has died off so much that it's really hard to tell what things are worth.  I recently bought a set of all 3 draft packs for $164 (US), which come with 2 copies of each card, so at most 1 complete set was worth $82 (assuming that I only care about the Expanded Middle Earth cards, and don't want any of the bloodlines packs).

It seems like a few more EME draft packs have been showing up online in the last year or two; prior to that I almost never saw any, so the price might have been higher then.

Due to the slow market, it's important to remember that cards are worth what someone will pay for them.  Yes, there are overpriced sites out there, but if no one's buying at that price, it doesn't mean much.

Thanks a lot for the quick answer. That was roughly what I was expecting. I will put up an offer in that ballpark range soon. Any knowledge about what the german version has been going for?

I don't really follow non-English markets, but someone told me in March 2018, "I can get the set of 3 [draft packs] in german for 35 shipped," so at the time it would have been 17.5 for a complete set 14.  I didn't clarify if that was USD or Euro.
