Hey guys, My name is Wesley Tamkin and once upon a time I was an active member of the Redemption community, anyway I stopped playing years ago (because of time) but I still love the game...so i'm getting married in the fall :)  and going through some of my stuff and trying to figure out what to keep and what to get rid of- it pains me to get rid of my cards but it is very unlikely that i'll ever really be able to play again---(unlike a board game a CCG takes a lot more investment). Anyway because of that I think,if I can, I'd like to sell my whole collection.

The collection includes probably over 1000 unique cards (well --with at least 40 ultra rare cards (there might be some others that are none-gold colored) including quite a few cards from participating in all levels of tournament play and some tournament winner cards as well as several promos for other things (such as philosophy)

The collection is in excellent condition and is geared towards play (I wasn't much of a collector) and therefore contains the most useful cards pre-angel wars and quite a few angel wars cards as well. 

I'll also include with it several hundred (including e/f decks) excellent condition card sleeves and any deck boxes I have.

The unique cards come sorted in a plastic box by brigade

The duplicates of everything are not kept so carefully but are in a box but they are in more then good condition

Price: The collection is basically perfect for any new players wishing to get a lot of different cards quickly and it will prepare them for tournament play in short order (though if there are any must-need cards in recent expansions then they would still have to get those). 

If you are interested please post an offer or if you'd rather email me do so at wtamkin@gmail.com


and before I forget,

hi to all of you out there who's names I recognize:)

God Bless,
Wesley Tamkin

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.
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.

PM's replied to and I looked up shipping rates--I will charge $10 for shipping unless you want faster delivery or insurance (which is $5.55 for it valued at $350)

Perhaps someone will take you up on this offer, but I would be a bit surprised.  Many of the UR's and promos that you list aren't in high demand, and your cards are older and therefore missing the newest ones (FooF and RoA) that everyone wants.  $200 is also far outside the price range of most players.  Here's another alternative.

Bundle 1
Destruction of Nehushtan $15
King of Tyrus $20
Caleb $10 (Settler's of Canaan Promotional card)
Joshua $10(Settler's of Canaan Promotional card)
Three Nails $5

Bundle 2
Guardian of Your Souls $15
Book of the Covenant $20
Emperor Nero $6
Abram Abraham $7
Primary Objective $7.00

Bundle 3
Harvest Time $15
Authority of Christ $40 (National Redemption Tournament Participant)
Joseph in Prison $5

Bundle 4
Falling Away $14
New Jerusalem $7.5
Glory of the Lord $10
Greek Angel of the Lord $3
Greek Son of God $3
Household Idols $5
Burial Shroud $5
chariot of fire (tournament winner) $5
Philosophy $5
A New Beginning $3.5

Then split the rest of your cards up 4 ways (there were 20 more UR/Promos, so that would be 5 each), and you said you had over 1000 unique cards, so that would be over 250 for each "bundle", plus there would be more cards thrown in that would be duplicates.  I would guess that you would be much more likely to find 4 playgroup people who would pay $50 for a "bundle" than you would to find someone to pay $200 for the whole thing.

I think they'd sell even faster if you offered them for $40 and made the offer look nice :)  Something along the lines of the following as an example for bundle 1:

Over 500 cards, including at least 250 unique cards for only $40.  Also included are the Joshua and Caleb promo cards that were only available to people who bought the Settlers of Canaan games.  Best of all, you will also get high demand cards like Destruction of Nehustan, King of Tyrus, Three Nails, and at least 5 other UltraRares or Promo cards.
