One more thing: the box has been dropped in the years since it was new, and a corner is crushed.  It's possible that some foil uber-card got munched.  I'd be honest on eBay, of course, probably posting a picture of the moderate damage.
Do you have a picture of it? The damage could greatly reduce its worth.

Thanks for asking to see the damage.  Here's a image:  http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/17553061

Assessment welcome.

No decisions yet, but I did find more forgotten product at the local game store: 6 each ROS and T&D boosters at the bottom of a box of mixed boosters, under a gaming table, lost since a location move.  And did I mention half-price?  It pays to rummage.  After similar deliberations, the pull was good, proportionally: HtttoG, an RF Faramir BoQ, and a Legends Masterworks Beorning Axe (which I kinda wanted) ... This makes me want to open the rest.

So tell me that the box is hopelessly flawed, and I'll dive in.

It looks fine. Very little damage.

Not to threadjack here, but I would be interested in the RF Faramir. If you are inclined to part with that card, please send me a PM. I'd trade heavily for it and I would be interested in buying it, also.

If we could work something out, that would be grand.

Cheers!

Me again.  This again.

I chose to resurrect my old thread as I finally have an answer:

Any news? How are you going to sell them?  :whistle:  ;D

I am selling it (and a comparable booster box) sealed on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/adomkim/m.html? nkw=& armrs=1& from=& ipg=

The single-booster idea -at least for the Hunters- might have been more successful overall, but baby-sitting those 36 auctions all at once would be quite absorbing.  I've been very tempted lately to open these cards so that I couldn't sell them, but I'm now able to let them go.  In a not-for-profit sort of way, in fact, quite unlike my original Ferengi-like post. 

No need to go back to read the lengthy OP, but much has changed since then: Thanks to these fine boards, I now understand Gollum and his threats, and I've made some trades and some decks. I've also found a local gaming buddy, and I have enough cards to share with him to make it fun.  What hasn't changed?  Ket remains a very helpful 'voice of reason'.

As a small thanks to y'all, I will consider international shipping for regular contributors here, despite what the auction details read.  PM me.  I know who you are, since I bear the Lurker keyword.  Thanks for looking!

PS - I reserve the right to resurrect this once more if I learn what fabulous cards were found.  I'll let you know.

From what I have seen, individual packs are the most profitable way to sell them, unless you want to gamble on getting a few of the power cards that can go for a lot more online.

Selling sealed product is better in any case. I never understand how people are willing to shell out much more for sealed boosters and boxes on average compared to what you get when you buy singles. I always thought it would be the other way round...if only people would play the game instead of only collecting the cards...

Good luck with the auctions. Let's hope they go for more than the price you expect them to fetch. Cheers!

P.S.: I would not know what to do with a sealed box, either! I mean, I don't need any more hunters block cards and it seems silly to me to sit on sealed product and not use it. Selling it is the way to go.

About what I expected actually.
The Hunters box went for around $350 if I recall correctly. Less that I would have thought actually.
