I recently bought a sealed Korean Tempest Starter Box. How much are these worth? Should I open them, or sell them sealed? Is it easy to sell those? I can imagine loose cards (Petals, Wastelands) are a lot easier to sell online.

It is worth a lot. Depending on how much did you pay for it, I'd either crack the box and sell boosters or crack the boosters and sell Wastelands, Petals and Humility specially are worth a lot.

Remember that Wasteland is Uncommon, and Petal is common plus there is much more to get like Ancient Tomb and other neat stuff. Depending on what you payed for it, it could be an option to just crack it for the fun :)

As someone who collects Korean MTG cards and has actually cracked Korean Tempest Booster/Starter boxes - it depends on how much you paid. If you paid <300.00 USD crack it and sell the goods - Tempest has a bunch of cards that will sell well. If you paid more than that I would try and dump the box as a whole to a collector or break out the starter packs and offer those individually as people would be more inclined to drop a little penny on a starter pack with the hopes of cracking something good as opposed to a large penny on a starter box and hitting only 1 Wasteland as I have before.

You can get so much out of it... Grindstone, Perish, Choke, Intuition, Reanimate, Aluren, Meditate AND Wastelands, Tombs (BOTH at uncommon)

I think it's the best set to buy and crack. You gotta be really unlucky.

I'd say crack it, for all the reasons already exposed.

If you do, post what you got!

Of course I want each pack fresh Aluren you got. PM me if you get some. I want em.

Despite Wasteland being an uncommon, given the bigger set size, you'll only pull about 1 per box on average.

If you have a sealed starter left, I'd be very interested.

I recently bought a sealed Korean Stronghold boosterbox which has a nice place on my shelf, but I am always looking for more sealed goodies. I have no idea what the prices on a starter box are, but it seems to me it's worth at least 300.

I feel that mailing it to me would be a much better decision than cracking it open. IMO
