Check this out.

I know Edge is a good seller - I'm not slamming him at all. He has clearly listed this box of Hoops with 6, that's right - SIX packets!

Look at the bids it is getting!

Throw in postage and the high bidder is going to be paying $30 to own 6 Hoops packets!

Well done, Edge!

Not getting ripped mate just paying too much. No one is holding a gun to their head to bid and he isn't bullshitting them. They simply bid too much.

I hate blaster boxes.....

People pay way too much for them, and get next to nothing!

You ever see the 03-04 Ultra ones??

From memory, they'd go close to $30US each, cos they had the opportunity to pull a Lebron Lucky 13 $500BV....

It's shocking.

yeah yeah, I don't mean that they are getting ripped by Edge.

I mean that they are ripping themselves off! Some stupid examples of self-ripping if I have ever seen it!

Edge is doing well, he clearly states what is in the box, no problems - good on him! My max bid was $2.50 (plus $8 postage) !!!

Isn't spud00 now a member here???

Almost $35 for a box where, according to odds, you need 2 mini-boxes just to pull 1 insert card.

Shhhheeeeeeeiiiiit!

$35 for 6 fucking packets!

At that rate he's paying $140 for a full Hobby Box!

That's some serious self-ripping off. Fuck me dead, Edge must be laughing with that one!

Why I can't I get Ebay people like that bidding with me!

Spud00, that's one expensive lesson for you, young man.

You can pick up a case of 04-05 Ultra for about $230US + shipping.

20 boxes...

$35 per box...

You do the math.....

The sealed box bit in the title is pretty missleading though.

Click to expand...

How can it be misleading??....It is only misleading if your expectation is that a factory sealed box means 36 or however many packs. (there is no industry standard anymore, as the number of packs in a box varies from product to product) It is still a factory sealed box at the end of the day.
Read the descriptions people!!!!
