Topic: Seeking Purchaser for my entire Tradelist

***************  IN THE ABSENCE OF AN OFFER FOR THE ENTIRE LOT, I WILL CONSIDER SMALLER TRADE/PURCHASE OFFERS  **********************

Hello all.  I'm searching for a buyer for my full tradelist (~3900 cards, ~2100 distinct).  The idea is to execute a win-win here.  The buyer will get the lot at a discount that is generally very hard to find, and I don't have to grind through selling it piecemeal to eek out a few percentage points worth of dough.  I wasn't able to find anything clear in Deckbox's sales terms regarding bulk collection sales, so if anyone has any extra info that is not present in the DB Market FAQs or guidance, please let me know ASAP.  My TL in its entirety is valued at $17,663.50 (Deckbox market condition adjusted), $17.6k for simplicity.  The lot value is distributed as follows:

UPDATED: 05.01.23
~$2800 (DB condition adjusted) of Cards > $100 each
~$7000 (DB condition adjusted) of Cards < $100 but > $10
~$7800  (DB condition adjusted) of Cards < $10

of the cards < $10, about $1600 worth are sub $2 cards.  I'll give $1100 worth of discount to those cards right off the bat.  That makes the starting price $16.5k before a bulk buying discount is applied.  I'm asking for 75% DB market value of the $10 and over cards (.75 * $9,800 = $7350), and 45% DB market value of the remaining cards (.45 * ($7800-$1100)) = $3,015.  This is a total of  $10,365 which amounts to an effective bulk sale price of 58.9% of the original $17,600.  Additionally, I'll split shipping and insurance costs with the buyer.

I'm happy to provide pics and any other information requested.  The buyer will receive a perfectly organized and maintained lot of cards.  100% of the TL cards are currently sleeved, and are organized alphabetically by color (A-Z white, blue, black, red, green, multicolored, artifacts, lands) to allow for very quick location and retrieval. 

Since I'm currently trading and shopping for buyers on multiple platforms, the tradelist can vary a fair amount, but will be completely maintained until I divest the entire TL.  I sincerely hope someone is able to take advantage of this circumstance and score a sweet buy, and I don't have to BuyList all these cards!

Re: Seeking Purchaser for my entire Tradelist

While I wouldn't be interested your entire trade list I might be interested in buying some, are you looking at all or nothing?

Re: Seeking Purchaser for my entire Tradelist

Ideally I'm shooting for all or nothing, so an offer for all would take priority.  However, I'm open to discussion around partial purchase in the absence of an offer.

Re: Seeking Purchaser for my entire Tradelist

Of note - there are Reserved List cards throughout the lot.  It seems like it people should pick up on it without having to say it, but I'll declare it anyway:  RL cards not asking for premium, but offering at highly discounted rate.

Good luck with the sale I have been trying to do the same.

Re: Seeking Purchaser for my entire Tradelist

UPDATE: I've completed a TCGplayer buylist sale (for ~67% TCGmarket price) that has reduced the value of the lot to ~$17,500.  The same general dishttps://deckbox.org/sets/645852count methodology I've outlined above remains applicable, and will throughout the offer.  https://deckbox.org/sets/645852

Pretty sure I've read your profile before.  I've been looking for a Bayou for the longest and haven't had any luck trading for one.  How long have you been looking/trying to sell your collection, and how would you grade general interest that you've come across?

Re: Seeking Purchaser for my entire Tradelist

A friend told me about the site a few years ago. Personally I do not play as much as I used to so I would rather have the money and let someone enjoy the cards more than I do. I have had a few people reach out asking about the collection but not many people have that kind of cash sitting around so I would welcome trades as well. I play legacy mostly I think there will not be interest from standard or modern players for a majority of my collection which limits me to interested buyers. If you have more more standard or modern cards in your collection you might have better luck? Would you consider trades as well?

Re: Seeking Purchaser for my entire Tradelist

While I don't have the means to purchase the entire collection but, I do have a specific area of interest. Would you be interested in a bulk deal for all of the lands?

Would be interesting in talking about a bulk deal for your lands as well if you're open to it?

Yep, in the absence of an offer for the lot I will consider trades of all shapes and sizes.  It's worth mentioning that only cash buys discounts, I'm not interested in offering significant discounts for trades.

SOLD

Re: Seeking Purchaser for my entire Tradelist

That's awesome. I haven't had much interest in my collection.

Re: Seeking Purchaser for my entire Tradelist

Sorry to hear that.  I had to do some footwork.  I live in the Dallas/FtWorth area and we are fortunate enough to get a healthy number of conventions that come through (CollectaCon was this past weekend).  I was able to move the whole lot for 61.5% condition-corrected value.  I had very little interest via internet leads, and the ones I did have weren't interested in the whole set, but wanted the whole set discount.

Re: Seeking Purchaser for my entire Tradelist

I could see that.
