Cheapest place to buy boxes?

[Fleer57]

Hi guys,

this must have been asked 100 times before but i'm relatively new here.

I live in Perth and am wondering where the cheapest place to buy NBA boxes (of all years) is, either locally or online (cheapest including postage).

Currently I buy off ebay but I feel as though I could be overpaying and the sellers must be getting the boxes from somewhere cheaper, so where is it?

thanks in advance!

A1 Cards and Gaming is great they are located in Gosnells and Terry is a top bloke! He is even a member on here if u want to hit him up

thanks i'll look them up. I live in Dawesville so at least an hour from anywhere in Perth but could make the occasional trip
Any decent online options? Or tips for buying from the US to avoid huge postage?

Shipping will start at about $30, but they use UPS which ensures quick delivery. Best for buying a few boxes, no point half filling the shipping box.

thanks Lazlow - i had a look, some of their prices are amazing - explains some of the product i've seen showing up on ebay (particularly those 10/11 panini classics boxes for $9.95 each).
I'll wait until i have a big order and give them a go cheers.

Just make sure you choose hobby boxes and not retail.

Yeah, don't get blasters either!

You have to be very careful buying any boxes off eBay! There are a lot of people that 'search cases' then sell the rest on eBay!

You are always better off buying from a reputable seller, whether locally or overseas!

DA Card world
Cards Infinity (Chris also does live breaks for you to save postage)

Locally:

DGCollectibles
Mr Paparazzi (South Aus)
A1 Cards and Gaming (Perth)

The only rep I am aware of is with him having crazy high prices on some single cards and refusing to budge! lol

It's your fault for changing names and confusing me!

lol, it is actually. "The card store formerly known as Westriot"

 

[Fleer57]

pretty sure i've bought from westriot before on ebay... rings a bell.

 

[Fleer57]

can i ask if there are any ways you can tell if a box has been searched (i dont even know how they search boxes, do you just mean find decent cards then put all the rest of the packs into another box?). Or is there a more advanced way people search boxes.

Excellent, well i just changed the name to DGCollectables from Westriot not that long ago. Let me know if you need any more information or assistance.

By 'searched' I mean they buy a case that has guaranteed big hits, then open box by box until they have pulled the big hits, then sell the remaining boxes, knowing that they won't (shouldn't) have anything good in them!

I you buy from any of the guys I mentioned above, you won't have that problem!
