Rubbercarp is the proprietor of that website.

Yep.

I was a player for many years (started with Fellowship), got out when Shadows came around, and got back in about a year and half ago. Once I built the 30 or so decks that I wanted, I turned to selling my extra cards, but selling singles on eBay got to be too expensive when they changed their Store Formats so I tried building a website. About half of my buyers are from TLHH. The other half wander in from Google, or god knows where.

P.S. You also have to keep in mind that 80% of those singles will never sell unless someone in a niche market wants to make a deck and happens to need Orc Scimitar.

Probably closer to 90 or 95% =)
The majority of the foils just sit there, but I'm not out to sell all my foils at once. If I was, then I would would expect to only be able to move a complete foil set for $300 =)

It's just what they sell for.

My site is primarily for buyers who need a few cards to complete a deck, or a set or whatever. And are priced accordingly.

And Ket is right on! Don't be disappointed in us for thinking the value is so low. Be disappointed that the value is so low.

And again, rather than take our word for it, post it for sale at a price that you would like. I'd love to be proven wrong! Most foil collectors dream of putting together "the complete set" I'd love to know that its value is on the rise!

In fact, I ran some numbers.

Less than 5% of the cards that I've sold have been FOILS since opening the site in March.

The reason for this is because there is a smaller market for foils, and my foils are overpriced. Like I said (and ket said) my foils are priced for the player who only needs a few to foil a deck or complete a collection. And even then are probably overpriced.

Unfortunately everyone so far is correct about the value. I've been piecing together my FOTR Foil set since the game came out, and it's still not complete. I don't build decks and I don't buy individual cards at market price. I Buy boxes of unopened cards when the price is a steal, or I trade cards I have duplicates of for cards I need to complete my collection. I only buy a single if it's IMPOSSIBLE to find, and I need it to complete a collection. Once I finish my collection, I won't ever sell it. Why? I know I won't ever get back what I put into it, and only some of the singles will sell for much money if at all. That's why I don't dump money into individual cards in order to complete my collection, since I know it's a loss already. BTW - I am interested in completing my collection if you are going to sell your set off in chunks. Here's what I need:

FE Foils

Ancient Chieftain (foil) Rare FE 1x
Boromir, Lord of Gondor (foil) Rare FE 1x
Celeborn, Lord of Lorien (foil) Rare FE 1x
Desperate Defense of the Ring (foil) Rare FE 1x
Gimli's Battle Axe (foil) Rare FE 1x
Pursuit Just Behind (foil) Rare FE 1x
Servant of the Secret Fire (foil) Rare FE 1x
Sting (foil) Rare FE 1x
