These are all items I have at the moment. I am willing/planning on selling them on eBay, but if you have time to comment on my suggested Starting Prices & Buy It Now prices, plus chances of getting these items sold, I'd appreciate it:



==================================================

Tropical Tidal Wave Top 32 Finalist stamped promo

Comment: last one sold on eBay went for $80

> starting price $39, BIN for $69

[EDIT] According to Pokegym's price guide $150 is average price, but I don't think I'll get that amount for it myself. There have been attampts of selling if for $250, but that failed miserably.

==================================================

Trainer Deck B, opened (near mint)

Comment: Very rare collector's item, last sealed Trainer Deck A + B went for over $1000 on eBay

> starting price $79, BIN $129

==================================================

Complete 60-card LBS deck w/new sleeves and new deck box

Comment: This deck includes 2 Blastoise ex, 2 Steelix ex, 2 Pidgeot, 1 Lugia ex, 1 Latias *, 3 Jirachi DX, full holon trainer engine & all necessary cards to build a 100% competative LBS deck. Some cards show normal wear, but none are damaged.

> starting price $249, BIN $299

==================================================

Complete Groudon City Championship bag, except the medal.

Comment: Includes 18 EX Legend Maker boosters, caps, minibinder, notebook, pencils and ball

> starting price $39, BIN $79

==================================================


And for the record, these are all items that the family has aquired thru winning them or trading for them.

The B is the easier of the 2 decks (but note it is the one I want unsealed!!)

I would hope the start price would be at $50...that would hook me in...

And we would ride the wave from there!

Good luck Ursa...I will be watching for these!

On the deck B, start at the cheapest price. You'll get bidders bringing it up and it will lower your insertion fee that you have to pay ebay.
If you have a low BIN on it, someone will BIN and that's all you'll get.
Since none have been on ebay for a while, you may get much higher if you don't put a BIN on it!

Your starting price on the LBS deck is going to scare most people off. Make sure that you put Lugia and Blastoise ex in the title to help buyers find it.
 
T32 - no clue here really, but keep in mind the big collectors probably have theirs already.

Trainer Deck B - very hard to find but I think collectors want sealed things. I agree start with a low bid and have it go up. Watch out though they have gone for $100+ each or also for like $20. =/

LBS - I think the LBS is a little high, I see it as:

Blastoise x2 = $40
Steelx x2 = $30
Pidgeot x2 = $10
Lugia ex = $50
Latias = $30
Jirachi DX x3 = $40
Total: $200

With the trainers it is probably worth it, but it is hard to find a DECK on eBay. People usually look for the single cards. It is hard to fit in all the good stuff in the deck in one title, it would proably be better to sell them as singles. Bulk lots usually go for less.

CC Stuff - I'll take that ! Great deal. How much is shipping?

That was when they were being sold every week or so. I haven't see one go that low for a loooong time.
And the last pair that was on ebay for Zeo had hit over $200 for the pair before ebay pulled the auction.
Speaking of which, is Purity/Echidna going to be selling that set, or not?
 
Thanks a lot for the input guys!!

So based on your input these are my conclusions:

* The Top 32-finalist stamped promo:

I will keep that one as I originally suggested. If I get $69 I'm happy, even though some people tried to get $250 for it...

* The Trainer deck B:

I will lower the start price a bit and remove the BIN. I'll start at $59 or $69. It's a bit fun too, to see what you can get for this item thinking it's been a while since one was sold. I am selling the one I got because I have given up my quest for it's twin.. My somewhat complete Pokemon card collection will have to do without...

* The LBS deck:

I totally agree when you buy things in a bulk you normally get a discount and pay less then their individual price. But on the other hand I'm thinkin' you save a huge amount of work when you buy this deck in a complete state. If you don't own any of the rare cards in this deck and you cannot trade for them locally, then you are in for a rat race trying to get these cards on eBay... And looking at ShadowOfMordors estimate (which may be a bit low on the Steelix ex as the last one I say had $19 BIN), and adding 4 rare candies to that (remember their re-release in Emerald didn't drop their price much, same can happen to Holon Phantom), in addition to the rest of the cards, the work you save, plus 60 brand new Pokemon sleeves and and a new deck box, I think a starting price at $249 can be justified.
So I have weighted the pros and cons and concluded I will postpone this auction. Anyway my daughter says she wants to use this deck, so if I manage to get my soon 9-year old daughter to play LBS as successfully as I have done (insert big *AHEM* here), I guess I will keep it...

* The Groudon CC bag:

It seems this might be a popular item, and what I will do is just start the auction at a low price $29 or $39 and take it from there. It will be another cool thing to see where it lands.


So tomorrow I will check out what shipping cost were are talking about here, and start making the auction... It's selling time!!

I must add that The LBS cards I see sold here on the Gym and on eBay are just rising and rising...

$250 seems more and more a fair price as the current Steelix ex's sells for over $33..

Anyway, all my other stuff is up for graps (as you can see from my signature).

Two steelixs sold yesterday for $15, and another for $20
 
Well, that's not the average price IMO. I'm guessing those two steelixs at $15 were sold pretty fast...

...or it could be that I've only seen the more expensive ones:

Like Pablos

Gym prices aren't reflective of the larger market in most cases.
So much of it depends on item placment and your market position relitive to your competitors. I don't know what your feedback is, but if I were to list steelixs right now I would expect to get $24-$28 - but the market seems exceptionaly volitile atm
