Hi there,

don't know whether this is the correct forum but I'll just ask:

Since I got offered a big collection which consist of older cards (in terms of Sets: Kings, Priests, Disciples, Starters G to J) but also some newer ones (FoM, CoW, RoJ, ...).
There are some URs and Promos within all of these sets as well as some signed cards.
I cannot check for the price of every individual cards so I orientate on the prices at which the newer commons sets (FoM, RoJ, ... - since they are near to complete) could be bought back then and check the few URs individually. For the older sets I maybe can check for their completeness too but do not have any clue how to estimate their value.

I want to get an idea about the value in order to make a fair offer (while I will consider that the cards are used and when bying the entire collection lots of them I own already - want to donate lots of them to an interested player within UK).

Any hints and ideas are very welcome!

Thank you in advance!

I have bought large lots of cards a couple of times and the agreed upon price was way under "market value". The owners got what they wanted out of the cards and I got the cards for what I was willing to part with, hence a deal was struck. Maybe see how much they want for the cards first. At minimum, it is a point to start at.


Godspeed,
Mike

I completely agree with everything said here.
