What would y'all value the following foils at:

Foil Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul
Foil Desert Lord
Foil Stone Tower
Foil Citadel of the Stars
Foil Captured by the Ring
Foil Morgul Brute
Foil Morgul Destroyer
Foil Ulaire Cantea, Faster Than Winds

Having purchased all except for two of these cards in the last two years:

I bought two Shotgun Enquea foils for $5.00 each. That said, I haven't seen them for less than $15 since.

I bought my Desert Lord (foil) for $7. I considered that a steal.

I bought my Stone Tower (foil) for $5. I thought it was a little high, but it's okay.

I traded for two copies of Citadel of the Stars (foil). I definitely won both trades. I have seen them for as little as $2 and as much as $6.

I am still looking for a Captured By the Ring foil. Whatever that guy offers you, tell me and I will consider outbidding it.

King89 sold a pair of Morgul Brute (foil) for $30 I think. I thought that was a little high, but that is just my opinion. Definitely a good card.

Morgul Destroyer (foil) has gone for as little as $2 since I've been around.

Cantea, Faster than Winds (foil) should be a $4-7 rare.

Edit: They are all power-rares in Movie Block (some more than others) so if you are selling them in a lot and the average comes out to $5 each or more, I'd say that's a win.

What would be a reasonable price for a Rise of Saruman booster/booster box these days?

I haven't seen any Rise of Saruman boosters reasonably priced so I have no idea.

I'm planning to sell some boosters or maybe even whole boosters box(es) on this site, but I have no idea for the price... According to the handful of sellers on ebay they cost about 20$/booster, but I think it is a bit expensive, so I want to hear your opinions first :).

I would say 5-10$, but this is just my opinion, not a good one because I want to buy theses boosters or box... BTW Hunters, RoS or TD are way to expensive even if this set are rare, some people just scam other people because we do not have the time or money to buy this set when they were released :)
If your price is not too extravagant I will buy you a couple of these boosters, if you want to sell them to me.

I feel the same way, I have 12 unopened Hunters boosters, but I couldn't sell them because I know I would be ripping someone off.

Actually, as I know distributors didn't bring T&D and Hunters to our country, only some packs from Rise of Saruman, and I'm pretty sure that Hungarian players are not the only ones with this problem, so I think prices are high because of this.

Still if I would sell them for 5-10$, I won't really have a profit on them, so I think the price would be around 13-15$ (only if I won't end up like little Timmy and crack them all up :))

Just put them up on ebay. Start the auction at $1 and see what happens. Usually things escalade and enter silly territory rather quickly, but you may not get quite the same levels of insane bidding, because you are based in Europe. Make sure that you put your auctions up via ebay.COM. That way you get the most exposure.

If you wanted to sell to forum members, you most likely would not get the price you wanted. Taking the ebay route, however, is morally sound. It is not you ripping people off (as long as you describe everything accurately and don't overcharge on postage...). Let the people decide how much they want to spend on the cards.

The best option would be, though, to simply open the booster and enjoy the cards. Maybe, you want to keep one sealed booster as a souvenir. And you should not throw away the boxes, either.

I don't get why boosters are so expensive. These prices would only make sense, if you found an RF or an MW in every other booster, but you don't. Most likely you end up paying $15 for Destroyed Homestead or a Vengeful Primitive...

Unforunately I don't have an ebay account, and I don't really wanna bother creating one, Europeans don't really use it anyway :). I don't want to sell huge amounts though, and the possibility that I open them all raises every time I look at the edition in the database here (because most cards are just a way better and more expensive then the above mentioned Destroyed Homestead and Vengeful Primitive :)). Anyway, if I decide to sell some boosters, they will still be considerably cheaper than on ebay.

Anybody have an idea how much the double-sided oversize promo featuring Gandalf and a Moria orc is worth?

Is there any worth in a foil Aragorn KIE or Gandalf TGW foil?

No, just sell them to me for 0.01 $ :) JK

I wouldn't know how to value them, but I know Aragorn would be worth some more since it's a lot more playable and it's freaking Aragorn :)
