So I got these off eBay for, what seems like to me, a great price.

JPN Shining Charizard = $46
JPN Charizard Gold Star = $32.56
JPN Mew Gold Star = $24.99

I also had a $10.65 eBay bucks certificate that I used on the last 2.

Can anybody tell me what the actual value of these cards are and how much I could possibly sell them for?

Thanks

I think you payed a little extra for JPN Shining Charizard and JPN Mew Gold Star... I dont have solid proof but I would so you would get 40$ max for JPN Shining Charizard and maybe around 25$ for JPN Mew Gold Star.
You payed a good fair price for the JPN Charizard Gold Star though, you can easily sell that for 40$
 
And you are getting this info from where? Those prices seem very very low seeing as the American versions sell for more than that and the JPN versions are only found 1 in 250 packs.
 
JPN Shining Charizard was a good deal. The shinings are very rare and i heard that you can get 80$+ for one shining if they are mint (i wouldn´t sell them because of theier artwork). The other cards are a good deal too, but you can get them a little bit cheaper
 
Assuming that all 3 are in perfect condition, you paid a little more than necessary for the Mew☆. That would be about right in a good economy, however you can pick one up in today's market for about $15 shipped give or take a dollar or two. The two Charizards you did pretty well on however and more than eat up the overage you spent on the Mew. You got them for pretty much the bottom end of today's pricing. Just checking some of the current ones sold, they are averaging around $70 for the Charizard☆ and in the low $50s for the Shining Charizard.

If you have a firm offer of $100 on the Shining Charizard, you should jump all over it. That's about the top price for it in a good economy. You can easily pick up another and pocket $50!

FYI, the Japanese Mew☆ and Charizard☆ aren't any more rare than the English equivalent.

Values:

Mew☆ $15
Charizard☆ $70
Shining Charizard ≈$52

Since when aren't JPN versions worth more? Last summer I sold a JPN Celebi Star for $70 on eBay (more than double what the ENG version goes for) JPN stars are more rare and hard to find compared to ENG versions which are definitely in abundance right now.

I never said you couldn't sell the Japanese versions for more, did I? I said that the Japanese Mew☆ and Charizard☆ weren't any more rare than the English equivalent. People perceive that the are and they can fetch a higher price as a result. Truth is, I know many people who buy by the case and most only pulled 2 ☆'s out of the whole case. Some were lucky and pulled 3, some were unlucky and pulled one. Of those who pulled two, a third of them pulled the same ☆ Pokemon twice and still had to buy or trade for the other.

As to the values I listed for you, that's what they are selling for (completely different from what some sellers are asking for) on average right now when looking at several different sources. It is what it is, and ergo that is their current values.

As to the Japanese Celebi☆, it is more uncommon than the English card. Comparing it to the Mew☆ and Charizard☆ is comparing apples to oranges.

Well I'm going to try and fetch at least $100 for both the Charizards individually if I were to sell them and at least $50 for the Mew. Think I can do it?
 
Rationally, no. However a fool is born every minute and a fool and his money are soon parted. It will likely take a while and cost you plenty of relisting fees (if using ebay) before they do sell which of course lowers your profit and the net sales price.
 
Never use eBay when selling cards over $30 in my book. Like I said before I'm already being offered $100 for the Shining Charizard from a collector on YouTube.
