Greetings. First post. I've been enjoying myself reading up on improving my old Moria decks in these forums as I return to the game from a Elf Lords-era hiatus. I can't say that I understand the threat & token metagame yet. Why would Golum want to remove threats? Oh, wrong board.
I purchased a new booster box of Hunters this evening, forgotten way up high on a shelf of the local game store. I've read that it's VHTF, so I'd appreciate some advice.
In general, I'd like to profit from this good fortune, and this mostly likely means eBay (sorry). Options include:
- I could sell the whole thing in a single transaction, which would be no hassle at all.
- I could sell individual sealed booster packs.
- As for sets like those recently sold, I wouldn't expect to pull a whole set of anything but commons.
- I could try to sell them all as singles, but this would be time consuming.
- I could keep some of the cards, and sell the rest, with the proceeds easily covering my costs (that's how I used to collect MW: DA).
- I have nobody to trade or play with in the South Puget Sound region of Washington State.
- I could give it away to the first guy who posts a purple smiley. Or three.
Or not. So regarding the option to open it and keep some; how good are the cards? Worth forgoing profit? I can look through the card database well enough, but as mentioned above, I don't really get it anymore. I know that worth a personal judgment, but what would you do? I can state upfront that I have no interest in the newer Shadow cultures: Evil Men, Uruk-Hai, and Orcs. Why did Decipher have to do that? Wait, don't tell me, Wizkids pulled the same tricks. So am I in a minority there? Aside from Ugluk, those aren't in-demand, are they?
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.
Ideas welcome. Thanks in advance.
PS - This isn't meant to be a manipulative eBay advertisement; that would be a cheesy first post, eh!?
