Hello, my mushy friend...

Decided to sell my magic cards... I have tons of 'em, rares and uncommons galore, some really valuable ones...

My question is this :

Do you think I'd get a better price via e-baying them, or would I get a better price by taking them into a card shop and selling them en masse?

You'd probably sell them faster and more comfortably in a card shop, but for more cash on Ebay.

Figure most stores are going to give you about 1/3 of what the "book" price of the cards is. This is based on my dealings with comic book stores who also dealt with collectible cards. YMMV. If you want the cash, E-Bay them suckers. If you're a lazy bastige who doesn't care about money, take 'em to the store.

I need cash... so I suppose to e-bay I'll go

Tonight shall be spent counting and cataloging my cards, so I can list exactly what I have and try to get an estimate of what to set a reserve at . I'm debating whether to put them in an Excel Spreadsheet or word document.

I just gave mine away.

I even had almost the entire Weatherlight set just from buying so many damn boosters.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Keep them. Because you'll never know when you meet someone new who plays M:TG. Then you'll wish you never sold the cards and you'll go out and buy some more.

Sell them on eBay, then buy up a whole bunch of boosters in MTGO.

I want your cards.

Edit: But I won't pay, so forget about it! =)

if you're going to catalog them, use magic suitcase.

It's a freeware M:TG application that allows searching, sorting by color, all sorts of other options for library manipulation, and has all the cards, with text, casting cost, etc already imported... Just specify how many of each card, no typing out names and anything else...

Bite me.

No, Really. Bite me.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.
