Accepting offers on Collection

Hey everyone,

For those that may not know me, My name is Nick formerly of the KC Shepherd's Connection playgroup.

Without too much preamble, I am taking offers on my entire collection.  I have been playing since womens, and I do have quite an extensive collection to be had.  I have not taken the time to inventory yet, but I have a very wide selection of cards from the game, although the bulk of what I own came from up to Kings/Angel Wars time, with a smattering of cards after that.  I do have a double set of Rock of ages, as well as an extensive amount of Rares/Ultra Rares.  I have not been able to travel over the years, so I do not have many of the Tournament Promos, and I do not have any of the specialty promos.

To be up front:  There is probably well over $1000 worth of cards in my collection, and it would be a good addition to any players card stash.  The only payment that will be accepted is Money Order/Cahiers Check.  Because of the amount of cards, I will either ship it Fedex/Ups your choice.  If you would like to ask any questions, I will respond to PMs only.  Only serious questions and offers will be considered and replied to, so please be serious.  If you would like to have an inventory of the more valuable cards, I won't mind, but my time equals your money.

If you have any questions that I have not covered, please feel free to PM me and ask.

Here are some general suggestions for success at selling a large number of cards.

1.  Pull out all the Ultrarare and Promo cards that you have.  Almost all of these have a gold border around them.
2.  Check out what those cards are worth by going here www.threelionsgaming.com.
3.  Decide whether you want to sell all the cards as individuals (so individual players will buy them) or in bulk.
     a.  Individuals: set the price far below what you see at the above site if you want to sell quickly.
          1.  If a card is worth more than $10, then sell it for 75% of value
          2.  If a card is worth between $5 and $10, then sell it for 50% of value
          3.  If a card is worth less than $5, then sell it for $1
     b.  Bulk: It depends on whether you want your collection to be bought by resellers or playgroup leaders.
          1.  Resellers: set the price at around half of what the total value of the Ultrarare/Promos are and wait for offers.
          2.  Playgroup leaders: split the collection into groups of 500 card sets.  Split the Ultrarare/Promos into equal
               groups so that each set gets an equal amount.  Then post the options on the forum and wait for offers.
