Since the majority of box values are on the medium-high side making it less attractive, we could do a cash/trade deal on a box like I sometimes do at the shows.
After my trip to the USA I need cards and cash, so I am after cards numbered to 50 or less jersey and autos, but older inserts too that are still popular like scoring kings and all-star die cuts.
Depending on the set and player I normally trade at or 1.5x the low column.
PLEASE PM if there is any interest and your trade list/s, and/or any other boxes you have in mind.
Start off with a small list:
05-06 Reflections $145
05-06 SP Authentic $125
05-06 SP Sig Tin x2 $85/tin
05-06 Sweet Shot $110
05-06 Upper Deck $95
04-05 Pro Sigs $80
04-05 Ultra $75
04-05 Upper Deck 24 PKs $65
02-03 SP Authentic x 2 $120/box
You've also got to remember that I do the group buys at COST price mostly for the benefit of guys that don't often buy boxes and want to bust a box. Sometimes this gets them back into the hobby and buying boxes more often.
If you are a legit business, you need to pay for the boxes from the US, then shipping, the GST and TAXES (unless the declared amunt on the shipment is under $1000 AUD) and then Sonny has to try and make a living on top of that.
I dont think you can compare group buys to retailers. Group buys should be thought of as a once off bargain basement special.
Great offer Sonny, hope someone takes you up on it! If I had more cards i'd be in for sure
