Granted, I'm sure they didn't give him what SCG prices those at, but.... even 7-8k seems like a lot to drop on such a product. i'm not sure my local store would even want to acquire that because it would be so hard to move for profit.
Yeah, it was pretty surreal. We're just sitting there playing EDH and the owner came upstairs to grab cash out of his office and chat with us about what just walked in. Not sure what the actual agreed upon price was, but the gentleman in question had a NM UNL Lotus and Time Vault, plus the sealed boxes still in their factory wrap. I know the owner quite well, and he was very nervous about the transaction, so I assume it was a fairly large sum being discussed. I also know that he has some friends of his that are generally interested in power and such when he is able to acquire it, so he probably has outlets for that kind of stuff that will at least get him a little return. Maybe not SCG prices or anything...but still profit.

Part of me would love to just crack those boosters for the nostalgia value...but they're definitely worth more sealed.
