What would you do with a sealed Hunters booster box?
« on: March 03, 2010, 09:00:55 PM »
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!?

if you really want to sell it, sell it as the entire box.

Hunters boosters are very hard to find. You might be suprised how much people would pay for individual sealed boosters.
There are alot of hunters single cards on ebay most of the time and you can generally find any of the rares. Hunters RFs and Masterworks are much harder to find on ebay, they do appear but not as aften.
I recenlty sold twenty RFs and Masterworks on ebay and got close to $400 for them (about $20 each.
I too once found a bunch of boosters at a local store and opened them all straight away. If you really want to make profit I would suggest selling them as individual sealed boosters (I NEVER see these on ebay).

 ??? ??? ??? :suspect: :suspect: :suspect:

Do these count as purple smilies?

JK

Personally, I'd hold on to them for now. They are unlikely to decrease in value, and you can figure out whether you want to open them or not later.

Sell the packs individually. You will make more.

That probably is the way to make the most $$$, but I myself never buy individual packs.  Maybe I am cynical, but I assume the person selling the packs opened packs until he got a MW foil then sold the rest!  LOL.

Wow. Didn't think people would pay over $400 for Hunters boosters. O_o
