PM or email me if you are interested in a purchase of the collection; thank you!

EDIT: I would strongly prefer selling the collection as a whole.

Post by: Redoubter on January 25, 2013, 03:25:25 PM: I understand you're interested in selling the collection as a whole, but I doubt anyone would be able to purchase the whole thing :(

If you decide to sell individuals, I'd like to reserve the Nicolas of Antioch and Destruction of Nehustan I see in your image, PM sent to discuss.

At least not at the price that he's hoping to get for them.

Post by: Tom Bombadil on January 25, 2013, 03:38:28 PM: Looking at those cards it would be in the hundreds I'm assuming
Title: Re: Selling Card Collection
Post by: Tim_arch on January 25, 2013, 04:19:35 PM: I am aware that there is not a large demand for 'high-value Redemption card collections', but this sale is more oriented towards card dealers or collectors. If I find absolutely no one interested buying the collection I'll consider single card sales!

I have not kept myself updated concerning Redemption matters recently. I'm not sure how all the pricing has changed since 2008 or so when I quit, but I think a general value for my collection would be around $600-$800. So if i could put a number on it I would be willing to negotiate a sale around $300. Thanks for the interest everyone!

Post by: Ken4Christ4ever on January 25, 2013, 04:33:45 PM: To help everyone, how about anyone with an offer on individual cards from the set sends me a PM, and perhaps I will end up purchasing the collection and can then split it up per those offers?
Title: Re: Selling Card Collection
Post by: Prof Underwood on January 25, 2013, 04:42:12 PM: The most I've seen any collection of only random cards (read: no unopened packs, complete sets, etc.) go for in the last 6 years is about $200. So I'll enjoy watching the bidding on this one to see if there's a new record :)

As for individual offers on cards, I think it would be best for people to just post their offers publicly on this thread rather than through PMs to either the seller or Ken. That lets the seller know how much money he could make by splitting it up rather than selling it as a whole. It also lets Ken know how much he could make by reselling them after buying the lot. It also lets individuals know how much they need to bid if they want that individual card. For all these reasons, open bidding is best for everyone.

Title: Re: Selling Card Collection
Post by: Tim_arch on January 25, 2013, 08:03:31 PM: Update everyone!

Thank you so much for your interest in the sale. I am discussing the sale with multiple people. The price range so far is $350+. If anyone else is still interested let me know. I may sit on this for a couple days and see what I can get for it to make some ends meet. Hopefully we have two happy people by the end of this!

As I said in my original post, I'm only in if you go to selling individual cards, and it looks like you may have a buyer for the lot. If for some reason the purchase of the lot falls through, let me know and I'll be interested particularly in the Nic and the signed cards. Otherwise, congrats on getting them sold :)

No kidding....

Is anyone else still buying... I have a lot more than this... ;)

I still can't believe that he folded a Buckler to use as a divider in his case. Such a shame... :o

Post by: STAMP on February 23, 2013, 11:50:37 AM: Nice collection. I think the key for any bid going over $300 is the presence of the Warrior booster packs and the Three Lions/Redemption cash. I paid $235 for a collection very similar to this, minus the those items. $400 is still a good deal. There are many hidden costs into building a collection this size so the gross value is much higher than stated.
Title: Re: Selling Card Collection
Post by: Isildur on February 23, 2013, 02:37:51 PM: There really arent any extra costs it only costs around $7 to ship a 50ish pound package :p
Title: Re: Selling Card Collection
Post by: STAMP on February 23, 2013, 04:35:25 PM: Hidden costs = gas, tournament fees, shipping, basically any money a player spends to build the collection over time. ;)
