It was a 10' X10" room with about 40 people in it. Maybe they couldn't see what was being sold. Thank God for Ebay and the BST. |
By retail I'm referring to my perceived "actual value" of the cards with little to no room to make money on resale. I agree with your assessment on the value of the common lots at $200. In fact, the six lots of commons that I won averaged just under $200. I wouldn't have gone another increment on any of them.
I expected to be able to pick up some bargains, but that wasn't the case. Some of the common lots went for double my max, and I think most of the singles went for at least two to three times my max.
