Still looks high...

Your starting bid is $13 for cards that in my opinion won't sell for $10. Your best bet (no pun intended) is to start the bidding at a penny. Then, after the bid war ensues, you'll get an honest/fair price for your cards. If the bids are really low at day 4, take the cards off ebay and keep them for yourself because you probably won't get much more.



Also, you dont even know what is in the lot...

ps- actually, your auction is for "over 100" redemption cards. If it's anywhere near a hundred, I have a good idea of the cards included because your picture has roughly 107 cards in it, and I can tell what most of them are.


"I can tell what most of them are" is self explanatory but anyhow at .25 each the lot is near half off in price. thanks

You should realize, that 25 cents cards rarely sell for more than 5 cents each (unless you have the one or two dozen decent ones).
If I were to sell that lot, I would ask $7.00 including shipping.


Im sorry cant just take your word for that. Ive seen it .25 each priced officially and im doing nearly half of that. thanks for your concern

You would be wise to listen to Cpt. Jaeger.  Although he is a relatively recent addition to the market, he has quickly established himself as one of the premier traders/sellers in the game.  He is also correct that although ordering an individual mint condition card costs a minimum of $0.25, most people would only pay a few pennies for them in bulk (unless they are UR/Promo/sought after rares).  Cpt. Jaeger is just trying to help you out in letting you know that this lot is unlikely to sell at the price you have listed for it (even the lowered price).

New from ThreeLionsGaming is 25 cents
Resale is 5 cents, not half of that

The only person that gets the official price is 3LG, everyone else gets resale.
As someone that has bought cards from me, you should realize what the resale values are



lol most all mine are new.

Redeemed, I am the owner of Three Lions Gaming, which is where the cards are listed at $0.25 each. The reason that the minimum price listed for any single card is $0.25 is that I have to take the time to sort them, get them out, and package them when someone just wants a couple common cards. However, I have sold sets of cards many times in the past, and I never sell them for nearly that much when selling a lot of cards. For a lot of common/uncommon cards, I would expect to get 2-5 cents per card including shipping, which really doesn't make it worth selling online since the shipping eats up everything I make. If you have people that you play with in person, they may be willing to give you a couple dollars for the cards, but it depends if they need any of them for their decks.

Everyone here is trying to help you since they have sold cards in the past and are aware of the way Redemption cards sell. They don't want you to have to keep paying eBay fees for something that simply won't sell. As with anything, value is in the eye of the beholder. While it's possible that someone may decide they want to buy those cards for the price you have them at when they see your listing, other eBay auctions and threads on here show us that this has not been the case in the past, so it is unlikely.

Obviously it's your choice what you'd like to do, but please realize that the posts on here are from people that want to help you by letting you know what they have learned from experience. Please consider that they may know what they are talking about.

To everyone else, I know that your intentions are good, but some of the comments have become personal and could be regarded as attacks. Please think about your reply before hitting "Post" and make sure that it isn't likely to be read wrong. If this continues as a debate, I will have to simply lock the thread.

Thank you!

So I dont have to sort them and drive to the post office with gas surging, and pay for shipping that is getting more and more expensive because of inflation and take time out of my day to do it all as well for only less than $20...? My price is like half around 10 cents each. not .25

So Ken, the AUTHOR of the value you are quoting, says that he would only expect 2-5 cents for commons/uncommons in lots...
And YOU bought a lot of cards from me, at 7.5 cents a piece that actually contained several higher end cards....
And everyone else who has posted agrees, yet you still ask for over 10 cents per card (100 cards at $19 shipped is 19 cents per card, idk exactly how many you are selling because you didn't say in your ebay auction)

And shipping is not that much, do don't even need to go to the post office....
Wrap the cards in a couple layers of clingwrap, and put them in a bubble envelope. 100 redemption cards weighs 5.33 ounces, plus the packaging. It will take 5 stamps to ship.

You keep saying we don't know what you are selling. If you want to make a case for the price you are asking, just post exactly how many you are selling and a list of them.

You are simple wrong my friend. YOUR package that YOU sent me cost nearly 6 to ship! So no, I am not overcharging for shipping my friend. Secondly I ask that you stop harassing me. You are simply wrong. I am NOT charging .25 a card. I am selling them for half that! And again.... YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW THE CARDS THAT ARE IN THE LOT! Your contempt for me selling cards at the same time that you are is uncalled for. , Attempting to talk trash to me and make yourself look better is also uncalled for. Please stop.

You won't get more than 10 dollars for any lot unless you specifically mention high tier cards. That has not occurred, so we have no reason to believe you will get more than that. Please calm down.

At this point I would suggest that no one else post on this thread giving Redeemed advice on pricing.  Many people have already tried, and he seems to be set in his thinking.  He also seems to be getting offended by the advice as well, and there's no use to offend him needlessly.  Let's just let him set his price where he wants and see if the lot sells.

No not yelling at all my friend. Talking with disbelief. Jagar has only been harassing me since the start of the thread and he got the rest of his posts removed my the moderator. Please stop jagar.

FWIW, I agree with all the others that your price is too high. You are losing listing fees each time, since it will not sell. I have thousands of common cards that I just give away to young kids and family members as token gifts. The older common cards will never be in tournament decks, so they have no realistic value. They look cool, though, so kids will like putting them in their bicycle spokes.  ;)

However, I must state that you should not take the advice given about listing the auction low and then waiting a few days to see if you like the bid, and then removing the auction if you don't like the bid. That is a violation of eBay's selling policies.
