I sent a card to the US on 14th April.
Processed through Sydney Facility 21st April.
Processed through ISC Facility in LA 4th May.
Nothing since.
$800 card.
The buyer has been fantastic and I've tried to keep in touch all the way through but I know it's going to get to a point where he...
I've mainly sold my cards on eBay previously, but have now made a major move into FB groups.
A few reasons :
You put your card/s infront of Aussies who want to buy then and there.
Sales are instant.
Paypal is there right away.
No fees which are getting outrageous on eBay. You are basically...
It will sell for over $2K and within 5 minutes will be listed on eBay at double the price.
Nothing surer.
It stinks.
Seriously, who has the cash to pay $500+ for each card out of the box that may be absolutely shit.

And you know what, within 3 minutes 4 people had asked for spots!!!
I clarified if he had his pricing right and then people started to ask questions but man, people just jump in to anything without...
If the pre orders hold up.
From what I am hearing I wouldn't be so sure.
I've got Mosaic and CK on pre order but it seems suppliers may have over accepted pre orders to the stock they will actually get.
Time will tell, fingers crossed.
Like with all things in life there are some great things and some really disappointing things going on in the hobby.
I love the chase of players you PC, looking through FB forums, eBay and here to perhaps stumble across a card you've been searching for.... Getting that mail day and adding it to...
Boxes are always (from what I've seen) cheaper to pre order.
I bought 2 x boxes Optic @ $169 each pre order - 2 weeks later you couldn't find one for under $300. As Lulu said I was tempted to open one and sell one - I'd be basically opening a box for free - but I couldn't help my self and glad...
