This is evident by the fact the RWB commander deck is the highest priced one among the group.
I always found legions to be a good set to sell to stores as you could get the more than you probably otherwise would by selling on ebay. The dragons in that set and scourge always do pretty well. Plus if I sell to coolstuffinc, I'll get 15% bonus, then I'll get by 15% off discount.

For instance I am building team america right now, and still need some things for the deck. Now this is not a typical example, but a friend gave me a 4 wide box full of cards on monday. After going through them I found a few good things like an intuition and ancient tomb. But they have no value as far as 2 decks I would play (maverick/TA).
In addition there were other stuff that coolstuff was buying for a decent amount I felt
here is the buy:
Erratic Portal 2 @ .60
Crystalline Sliver 2 @ 1.50
Ancient Tomb 1 @ 6.00
Eladamri, Lord of Leaves 1 @ 5.50
Intuition 1 @ 14.00
Jet Medallion 1 @ 3.50
Reanimate 3 @ .50 CCG
Reflecting Pool 1 @ 4.50 CCG
Ruby Medallion 2 @ 2.00
Shocker 1 @ 1.00 CCG
Undiscovered Paradise 1 @ 4.00
Mystical Tutor 1 @ 1.00 1 @ .80
that was 50.00 and with the bonus I got 57.50 in credit. I took these cards I didn't want and bought cards for TA.
I got 2 stifle, 1 tombstalker, 1 pernicious deed, 1 thrun, and 2 phyrexian revoker. I ended up paying my $1 for shipping only. Some might say I didn't get that good of a deal, but if someone will give me $1.15 in trade for shocker, I'll take it.

I'm also going to have to get 2 more underground seas, but I have been trying to watch for a decent price as I have 15 in ebay bucks to use on the purchase of one, to really get much better price on it. I don't mind spending money on cards, but I like spending less money on cards even more.
