You take a 13% hit through eBay, iirc between eBay and PP fees. The plus side is that once it all clears in your PayPal account, you can move the money out immediately.
Highest, but most time consuming is sites like MOTL where you won't lose anything to fees, but it'll take you the longest to sell unless you're willing to take a hit to undercut everyone else.
I can find you people in the NY metro area that will buy things, or stores in Pennsylvania or Jersey that will. I can't guarantee prices, but I doubt you lose too much compared to moving it to dealers at a GP.
Signed Lim-Dul's Vaults? WTF do I do with those? :rolleyes:
I would try and sell stuff to local players first, then liquidate whatever's left at the next GP.
Nice. For every four 25 cent rare I waste my time with, I stumble upon a Creakwood Liege.
I'm still looking for one more LED.
Any idea what you are trying to offload yours for? :wink:
P_R isn't thirteen. I guess his time is more valuable than that. Trading is pretty time-consuming and nerve-wrecking, unless you got a dude that buys everything without too much blathering.Quote:

Also, although you may be done competitively with Magic, if you're at all interested in something more casual like building a Cube, I'd hold onto 1 of each of everything you have.
Ya know, throughout the ages, I've forgotten the names of some of my favorite students. But I have this crappy foreign black rare. I look at it and don't even know if it's Japanese, Chinese, Korean, whatever. I think to myself, "Hmmm... wasn't this called something like Reprocess?" Yeah. I can remember the name of a shitty 25 cent rare, but not important shit.
As for signed shit, like the Lim-Dul's that you mentioned, there is a market for signed cards, and depending on signature it can be a lucrative one. That stuff most dealers probably wouldn't buy, so anything signed would have to be ebay'd or something.
Seriously, you're gonna tell me that Cabal Therapy is my most expensive black card? There has to be something else.
If you have Obliterator, that's worth more.
Honestly, my first point of call would be Facebook. Check out the groups on the site. From there, move on. Also I am on need of a few Fetches, I so if you are open to some haggling, I can PM you and see what we can get moving.
You're welcome.Quote:

I don't mind ebay for smaller stuff, like Esper said they'll take about 13% off the top (10% of total sale to ebay, 2.9% to paypal), but shipping can make up some of that on smaller items. There are the occasional horror stories for bigger things, and they do tend to side with the buyer in nearly all cases, but there are things you can do to protect yourself like delivery confirmation, buyer restrictions.
Lol. Every time I go through the 15 y.o. junk pile still lying around in my parents' basement I wish the same thing. Never happens :)Quote:
