Yes,  good job at reading.  I said "unless you're doing a high volume of sales which add up".

You obviously don't pay attention to Ebay. KI's auctions close near or above average retail pretty regularly. He doesn't rely on "volume", he replies on his reputation and inventory.

Please have some sort of proof where you are trying to justify your "retail prices" All you did is avoid the question by saying that TCG mid is not retail.  Okay, how about we take all the big name sellers from TCG (2k + sales) and average their selling price for VoR.  Would you consider that retail?  Because it's still looking to be more than $50

TCGPlayer mid is not "retail" because TCGplayer mid is an aggregate of retailers. TCGPlayer low is realistic retail for cards in standard. Pretending like Ebay auctions don't exist is just stupid.

lol you must be checking auction prices.  Sorry I didn't clarify.  Only morons sell using eBay's auction  (unless you're doing a high volume of sales which add up). I was talking about how much you can buy one right now for.  Guess what? Auctions aren't right now. It might take you a while to win at the price you want.  Compare apples to apples.  Feel free to go back and check for buy in now prices.  You typically lose 10-35% of "retail value"  buy auctioning.   Last I checked, isn't TCG mid "retail" price? The price that's $12+ more than I'm asking.  Locally, the card stores i goto all have them in the $50's.  Please let me know which retail store is selling them for $40.

That's fine if you don't want to compete against auctions on Ebay, but don't pretend like they aren't an option. If people care about saving a few bucks, they're going to do that. KidIcarus sells a ton of stuff - including power, beta duals, and foreign foil staples, through auction on ebay and makes good money doing it.

And TCGplayer mid is NOT retail

Not everyone is cheap, but sellers seem to be delusional about prices sometimes. If someone is going to shell out cash for Voice, which is a card that is definitely going to tank, why would they pay you retail when they can get the card for ~38 shipped on an ebay auction?

Not argue with you, but there are zero on ebay for $38 (how about you do an average selling price for the last 7 days and report back). Sure, occasionally an idiot will post one for a lot less.  But they are probably hard for cash or something. It's not the norm.  Pricing and availability is always fluctuating there.  I have had a successful eBay business for more than 3 years (nothing to do with MTG) so I know very well how things work on ebay.  Asking less than what is typical is hardly delusional.  I could be asking $45 +shipping and I would still be in line with many sellers.  but jeez, if I did that here.  People would flip the F out like I was trying to rob them.

I just sold 6 (avg $38) in the past two days so the market may not be there anymore (for purchase that is) or they find $42 just a tad bit too expensive.  This serves as informatory only.

Not to offend people on this forum, but most seem cheap lol.  Especially the people who aren't playing actually playing standard.  The people who think their legacy/modern card's monetary value is some how worth more than a standard card's value.  I do understand that they want to trade against the future value of the card, but ummm.  This isn't the future, this is today, the present.  VoR is priced the way is it because Dragon's Maze sucked as a set (for the most part).  No one's opening boxes to sell singles like they'd normally be doing.  Supply and demand.  If people weren't willing to pay in the mid $40's for them, you'd never see TCG's inventory change.  But hey, I'm just a ranting.  Have a good day!

Cheapest on TCG (NM) is $45-$46 + shipping.  So I figured $80 shipped for 2 is a decent price.  No, it's not "cheap" but I'm not hurting for cash.

Let me know if you are interested in trading your Judge Karmic Guide for a Glimpse (NM).  Thanks.

Probably not for a glimpse, but if you see anything else let me know.

$20 card (Judge Karmic) for $21 card (Glimpse) - am I missing something here?  Prices are TCGplayer mids

I collect Judge foils and have plenty of other stuff to trade for glimpses.

Uh...name one thing cheaper on ebay?


LOTV can be had for less than 40 nm (and unsigned), zen full art lands generally go for .50-.55 each,  most recent obzedat selling between 8-9 shipped, etc.

You're selling at retail prices, which in no place qualifies as cheap

What other people have said...basically sell the big stuff to players through ebay, forums, and buylists and sell off the rest of it to a local player when you have gotten some value.

I also might be interested in buying parts of it smile

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why these are so valuable?  I found the deck lists, and it seems like there are two $5 cards, and a bunch of otherwise useless stuff.  Am I missing something?

P3K was mostly printed in Japanese and Chinese. English are harder to find.

I also understand that my shipping fees are on the expensive side. However, the $2.55 is the true cost it takes for me to mail an item with a bubble mailer and postage. If anyone knows of a way to reduce these costs, I could really use some help in this area. I admit, I too would be hesitant to purchase from myself with these costs. However, I can positively say that I am very fast at shipping out orders (same day or next day after payment is received). I place orders on TCGplayer all the time and most of the time it takes at least three business days for orders to ship out. Some of the stores on TCGplayer don’t even provide working tracking numbers and will ship you your product in paper envelopes (which is unsafe).

1.69 with delivery confirmation in a bubble mailer. Read the FAQ.

He's factoring in the cost of the mailer to the postage....although .86 cents for a top loader, sleeve, and mailer is pretty expensive.
