If you were to buy this on ebay it would probably be right around $25 for everything not including a $4 shipping charge.

There are 3 really good cards on here, the 2 dual lands (Bayou and Volcanic Island) and the Nevy's Disk. Just about everything else you are almost doing him a favor by taking them off his hands.

If it was me, I'd offer $20 cash with a willingness to go up to $25, but I'd have no need for any of the other cards so my opinion is a little skewed and low.

If you need the other stuff, like the Disenchants, Growths, Lighting Bolt, Earthquake, Basalt Monolith, etc. then $30 would seem more reasonable.

thanks for the info, they're all from Revised which is the set i originally got hooked into Magic on so it's more for nostalgia sake

 

[Mikeymike]

No problem, hope it helps (and more importantly, makes sense).

 

[whuppinboy]

honestly, i was expecting somewhere round $100 but that just goes to show my n00bish on the card values the guy hasn't responsed to me yet on whether he'll accept the offer but i'll let you know

 

[Mikeymike]

Chances are I'm a little low, I have a tendency to be a bit of a bargain hunter on ebay so I'm quite picky on collection pricing.

 

[Nightstalkers]

Always remember that when buying and selling cards, price them as you would want them to be.

Don't sell a pissy little deathlace for the same price that is shown in a magazine! (around 1.50 last check) Use your own noggin and figure out a price for your cards on your own. (I'd suggest .75 for any of the laces if I were buying them... and around 1.00 when selling.)

But of course thats the way I do it. Until next time, keep your stick on the ice!

 

[whuppinboy]

heh, got confirmation today, $30 US plus ground shipping =) woo hoo! nostalgia here i come ! thanks again!

 

[Nightstalkers]

$30 for all that? who are you jiffin?

 

[Mikeymike]

A bargain hunter after my own heart. That's how you make a deal.

Actual value of these cards: about $37.

Good bargain hunting.

 

[whuppinboy]

bah, he backed out on me and is trying to sell them on Ebay now i believe. ah well, easy come, easy go.

on a brighter note though, i did pick up quite a few Visions, i believe an entire set of Ice Age, Mirage (?) and some other sets yesterday for a couple hundred.

the guy has em in boxes though so i'm gonna go thru em today and see what i actually have now

 

[Nightstalkers]

some people just have to back out.
