Title: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Hobbit_Pizza on May 07, 2008, 05:58:10 PM
Heatcardz is selling a lot of 4 T&D boosters for $250 Item number: 360049745990 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360049745990)
That's $62.50 a box. If anyone wants to go in on it, I'll pitch in for a box.

Whoa that's a good deal... too bad I'm low on cash right now. (I haven't won the lottery in a while :()

hmm.. I might be up for it.  I gotta figure out which T&D cards I need still... not completely sure its worth another box.  But definitely a good deal!

Well, I don't have any yet. It would be worth it considering how difficult they are to come by.
Like I said, I'll pitch in for a box.

Post by: Gil-Estel on May 08, 2008, 02:04:48 PM
the point is postage for me. I live in the Netherlands, but maybe I would consider it if the person it is shipped to would open my box and just send the rares and some of the uncs....

Just got the following PM from Heatcardz:

Just wondering if you are interested in the 4 boxes of LOTR Treachery and Deceit still. If they don't sell I will sell them to you for $220 with shipping included. Let me know if you still want them. Thanks.

That's $55 a box!

EDIT: NVM, they sold.  :'(

Anyone know where to find Hunters or Rise of Sauruman booster boxes?
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: FingolfinFinwe on May 18, 2008, 07:39:46 PM
Good luck for RoS.  I think I saw a box of hunters at one online store recently.  You'd have to google search for it.  I think it was 140's plus shipping   :-\
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: MR. Lurtzy on May 18, 2008, 07:41:07 PM
I guess I was lucky with aquiring one of each early...
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: FingolfinFinwe on May 18, 2008, 07:46:49 PM
yeah... i got back into the game a little late.  Paid 110 for my hunters box.  140 for two boxes of RoS starters.  Haven't seen anything since.  Oh and I nabbed 8 RoS starters off Ebay for 1.00 a piece.    ;D  Love mistakes!
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: MR. Lurtzy on May 18, 2008, 07:48:53 PM
Geez, my RoS booster box was $90 with shipping. :o
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: FingolfinFinwe on May 18, 2008, 08:00:10 PM
well you can feel good about that price now.  I think any booster box of Hunters or RoS on Ebay would go for 150 now
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Hobbit_Pizza on May 19, 2008, 10:27:39 AM
I would definately learn to live without a box of anything going for $150.
As far as TD, I'd probably not pay more than $65.
To this day I don't own a single card from TD or RoS.
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Mythdracon on May 22, 2008, 09:41:51 AM
I got some RoS cards by buying starters, and the uncommons and commons I bought on eBay.  :roll:

TD I got in boosters I bought from that same seller...my friend and I were hoping no one else would notice that lot, but I guess you guys found it anyway, lol. Still, I'm happy with my TD cards, esp. Glorfindel and the two Gil-Galads. So...I guess our Hunters, RoS and TD supply has officially dried up now....unless someone wants to pay $85 for a TD booster box. XD
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Hobbit_Pizza on June 04, 2008, 08:23:49 AM
Bump.

I just got an offer for 6 TD Boosters for $350 s/h included. That's $58 a box.

Once again I can't afford them all, but if anyone wants to pitch in let me know.
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Mythdracon on June 04, 2008, 08:54:57 AM
I'll pitch in. :)

Where did you get the offers from?
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: FingolfinFinwe on June 04, 2008, 08:55:14 AM
I could probably go for one... depending on how much it would be to ship it to me.
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Mythdracon on June 04, 2008, 09:46:58 AM
How many were you thinking of buying, Hobbit_Pizza?

I got a message from a seller on eBay. He wants to sell them within 7 days or less.

Quote

2-3 perhaps?

I'll keep a head count and once they are spoken for I'll let him know. He wants to do a money request via Paypal, but I'm going to try to get him to set up and coordinate the sale on eBay so I have protection.
Shipping is included so I'll have to figure out the shipping costs once I get the boxes.
I'll use whatever carrier you prefer.
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Gil-Estel on June 04, 2008, 10:14:15 AM
I want 1! So count me in.
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Hobbit_Pizza on June 04, 2008, 10:16:56 AM
Me = 2-3
Mythdracon = 1
Fingolfinfinwe = 1 (depending on shipping)
Gil-Estel =1

I'll get 3 and if anyone wants one of mine I'll negotiate later.
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Mythdracon on June 04, 2008, 11:40:02 AM
Sounds good. So what now? How shall we transfer money to you? Or should we talk to the seller and transfer money to him? :S

[I would definitely want to buy another box from you later.]
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Gil-Estel on June 04, 2008, 11:54:35 AM
yeah and mine can be send to one of the others, cause I'm only interested in the rares...that will safe on shipping I guess. If no-one wants to accept mine and seperate the rares from the rest and  then post the rares to the Netherlands, send it to NappyKorn, the Faithful......
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Hobbit_Pizza on June 04, 2008, 02:30:16 PM
I have enough to cover the costs up front.
Once I receive the shipment, I'll hit you up for the $ + shipping and then send them to you.

He just asked if I would like 6 or 12 for the same cost.
He said he has enough to double the quantity at the same rate, but I don't think there's enough of us to do all 12.
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: CCCORNIV on June 04, 2008, 05:45:36 PM
I'm good for two Hobbit_Pizza.  I just started working on getting some Hunters block cards and this is coming at the perfect time. I know I'm new to the forum but Gil would probably vouch for me.   ;D

Ulmo can vouch that I've been buying cards like crazy this past month.  :up:

Keep me in mind if you need someone to pitch in on any Ros or Hunters booster lots that you may come across.
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Mythdracon on June 04, 2008, 08:14:04 PM
I'll gladly buy more than 1. Like, way more than 1. Maybe 4? We'll see. :)
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Hobbit_Pizza on June 04, 2008, 08:46:14 PM
Me = 3
Mythdracon = 4
Fingolfinfinwe = 1 (depending on shipping)
Gil-Estel =1
CCCORNIV =2

That's 11, one to go?
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: MR. Lurtzy on June 04, 2008, 08:48:10 PM

Perhaps I didn't explain enough.

He's offering me 6 boxes for $350 (or 12 for $700) with shipping included.
Since he's shipping them all to the same person at once (aka myself) your cost is $58 per box, but not including shipping.
I'll use whatever shipping carrier you prefer, but you'll pay for it (actual cost).

I apologize if this wasn't clear before.

Alrighty, so when will you be getting the boxes? :hey:
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Hobbit_Pizza on June 05, 2008, 08:56:38 PM
Um, I think tomorrow he's going to send me a Paypal money request or something, so as soon as he does I'll start asking for $$ from all of you. I offered to cover the $350 up front originally, but now that we have 12 people asking for boxes I can't afford $700 all out of my pocket up front. Once I pay him, he'll ship. I'll make sure to have him insure it with confirmation and something faster than ground shipping...
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Mythdracon on June 05, 2008, 10:12:30 PM
I can pay for one box now, the others will have to wait 3 months since my US account doesn't have enuff money. :S

Grr.  The one card I need most from the set is Gilgalad, sos I don't get him in my box someone will have to trade him to me.   ;D

Yeah just confirm that you've paid the dude, then let us know the shipping and I'll send Payment.  I live in Ohio.   8-)
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES

I'll trade you if get one Fingolfinfinwe.  :up:  Just send me a message if you don't get one.
Title: Re: T&D BOOSTER BOXES
Post by: Hobbit_Pizza on June 07, 2008, 11:00:49 AM
The seller ended up splitting them into two auctions. I already bought one of the two lots of 6, but the other is still up.
Since he ended up splitting the auction, I'll let someone else be responsible for purchasing and diviing out the other 6.
I just don't want to deal with all $700 worth of cards.

He decided to charge $12 for shipping since I insited on using eBay rather than Paypal money request. I just didn't feel safe that way.
So I'll pay the $350 plus shipping on my lot, and respectively $58 plus shipping to each of you.

Here's the other auction, whomever want's to take care of it.

So whatever the actual cost ends up being...which I don't know yet.

Someone please buy the other set, I'll pay for at least 2 boxes when I get back to my college in 3 months, + shipping.

Post by: Hobbit_Pizza on June 18, 2008, 12:46:23 PM
Well all the boxes have been shipped, let me know when they arrive.

After lots of head scratching over $7.75 of inccured expenses that I couldn't account for, I finally figured it out.

I'd divided the boxes up at $58 each (rounded down initially from $58.33) and forgotten about the change.
($.33 x 3 = $1.00) that I didn't collect.

But that still left $6.75 to account for.  :-\

Then I looked at paypal and found fees for each transaction amounting to $6.75.

That's a whopping $7.75 that I ate.  :P

Anyways, I thought I'd share the outcome of my confusion and let you know I took one for the team.  ;)

:gp: :hey:
