>>57965088Sure, but by your logic you're only looking at what someone did pay, not what they're currently willing to pay. Just because something doesn't sell often doesn't mean it isn't in high demand. There's only 500 of these, so they can't exactly sell every week. You can't look only at past performance to determine the current value of something. If someone found a box of 1K of these PSA 9 zards, the value would drop instantly
>>57965154You can also try to bundle stuff together, if they won't go lower than 90% you can try to get them to throw in something of low or moderate value (5-50 bucks, whatever). They have a strong incentive to try to move product. All of their cards are liabilities, and only they know how much they paid for them. Most of them probably got their inventory off of scammer tier trades, bulk card auctions, or "hey buy my whole binder for $1000" types, so they can generally absorb a lower sale price, and if one can't there's another vendor who can
>>57965299I'll use my tax free proceeds here to reduce my taxable income with a traditional IRA account, most likely. But I'll pick up some cards too, and did at this show you just have to be extremely vigilant to ensure you actually get a decent deal.
Good luck on gen 3, my old stuff came back 5-8 mostly, I sold some slabs that I had here for about 1k as well. I was able to negotiate a decent deal on those as well, but its easy to get screwed on non graded cards at these things. You have to be very careful to only trade them things that are unlikely to grade well. Subsequently, be careful buying from them if you intend to grade as all cards I got from them were conspicuously not going to 10 due to corners, hairline holo scratches or especially bad centering. You're basically buying only their reject cards at these events, so keep that in mind.
