What kind of idiot lists a FOTR Booster Box starting bid $99? There's Buy it Now listings for $35 each. It reminds me of that guy who listed Certified Mint Condition common singles for $35 each.

EDIT:

Better question....

What kind of idiot buys a cornflake for... how much was it, again? Several thousand dollars.

All the guy has to do is keep listing it, and eventually that darn thing's gonna sell for some sickeningly large amount of money. All he has to do is sit back and wait for an idiot to come along.

Ok the Rofl Copter is hilarious.

I remember when I would've killed for a box of Fotr for 35$. 99? What HP said.

Hobbit_Pizza · « **Reply #10 on:** May 14, 2008, 09:54:37 AM »

The best deal I ever got was a FOTR Box for $15, and a TH Box for $30 (from which I pulled both a foil and non-foil Ring of Doom).

FingolfinFinwe · « **Reply #11 on:** May 14, 2008, 10:12:00 AM »

WTH a Hunters box for 30!?!?!?!?! How'd you pull that off? unfortunately since I got back into the game when T&D was released, its been tough. 118 for my only Hunters box.

I was checking out a local card shop that I'd only been in once before, and was snooping around looking at his glass display case. Far in the back, behind a few other things, I spotted the Box. I asked him how much as I could tell he had no idea and must have had the thing sitting there for over a year. He said $30, I said sold!

Oh man that's nice!

All the shops around here stopped keeping stock of Lotr after RotK. I've checked them all to try and clean out any back-stock they have... but its all Ents of Fangorn and Helms Deep that they're still trying to sell for $2 a pack.

I'd like to complete my BOHD Foils, but the set sucks and I can't find boxes cheap enough to justify completing it.

You can easily get a booster for those sets on ebay for $8-10 with shipping included.

It was also hard for me to complete my Siege of Gondor complete foil set... that took quite a while.

who what? where'd that come from?

eBay often has complete foil sets up for sale. I got a Mine of Moria foil set meself, as it was cheaper than the SoG one, which was ridiculously expensive last I checked. Almost $100. Well, I guess that's not *too* bad given its rarity. Hm...

I love opening the fotr booster boxes the most. I bought two on ebay after some guy listed 2 of them for sale buy it now for 4.95$ each. This was a few weeks ago. Also got about 15 booster boxes of seige of gondor fotr and several other sets for about 130$ And most recently the seige of gondor box that someone posted about on here I got for 29euro and only 5euro shipping to place in germany. Theres a lot of good deals out there you just have to be online enough to see them. Thank god I play poker for a living online so i can check ebay every minute

About the sets wildthinggames runs those every week which go for a good amounts. mines of moria for the past 2 months on ebay has sold on avg 35$. segie of gondor goes for the highest amounts along with mount doom but you can buy them and break them up and you can make a lot more selling them individually.
