Been a bit quiet on this thread lately so on my travels I managed to find a newsagent with about 8 packs left. I bought 5 and jagged a Buderus League Sensation #73 and. Moga Future Stars #76

Smashed it!!

Nicely done Brendan, keep at it.
How many out there are still finding Elite on sale?
I haven't seen any around for a while, though I haven't really been seeking them out. Nothing local at all so I've pretty much given them away. Might just have one final tour of the "hot spots" to see if I can jag something.

Love to know the hot spots, I have been trying a few stores and all they have is traders. No elites

This was the first time I came across any NRL cards in a shop for about 4-6 weeks and I as I mentioned there were only a few packs left in what appeared to be the last box. They had some powerplay left also.

I think most Newsagents sent back their unsold Traders stock about a month ago.

They sent elites back too. I know a few places where they have traders but the hits on them are quite less ATMATM

suprised they would send Elite stock away, it sold quite well. Traders is very difficult to get a hit .

My local newsagent still has 2 full boxes and an open one along with 2 elite folders for sale from memory. Buying the odd pack here and there with no luck so far...

Only one newsagent sells the Elite here, he also has sent his stock back but he doesn't even to try and sell packs or have them on the shelves. "Collectors only want to buy boxes" is his reckoning. I guess I'm not a collector.

Thats nuts. I brought on box of Elite from Redtorana when they first came out. Other than that I normally try to buy the first 8 packs in a box and if I jag a sig I will go for the rest, if not I normally wait until that box is gone and try the next one.
Would possibly be cheaper to buy boxes but the chances of getting a dud don't spin my wheels...

Yeah I have to agree with Wellsie. I always buy one or two boxes from Waz when a series comes out and then I will buy random packs as I one across them.

I was looking forward buying packs as I have to save up to buy boxes which I usually do because i havnt lived any where that sells. Maybe the stockist might change if he isn't selling anything?

I think that he would make more selling on a pack by pack basis also. Most sellers, even Newsagents will offer some sort of discount for selling a sealed box but selling it by the packet he would make the most profit.

Yeah you would think so, but then again he wasn't offering any discount on a whole box either. He is one of those shop owners that follow you around the shop until you eventually leave, scared off, ha ha.

Not once have i got a discount from any newsagent when buying a full sealed box. And i do understand that they have to make a profit and the margin is small. But i purchased 3 elite from the figtree newsagent and couldnt even jag a free pack when i asked.

I remember Australia Post used to discount Select stock at the end of the season. You used to be able to pick up packs for $1. Need to get ESP to get traders into there!

Lol - most of the ones around my area still have them on the counter. Have been hoping they would discount them!
