Maybe 50% of the proceeds are going to help support police, fire fighters, veterans, and sick children. Does the catalog say to make checks payable to either U.S. Marketing or North American Charitable Services, Inc?

Don't forget there's a 15% buyers fee on top of the price shown as well.

Apparently they will consider offers. However I'd be offering about half on some of these... Can't imagine they would go that low. It seems like they are appealing to a few Set Registry whales first. Then later on they might get more realistic on the ones that don't sell.

its a terrible trend. things are really bloated right now.

everyone wants unrealistic money for their cards. just let them sit there. they have to eventually try to make make money and the price will quickly change or they will sit on it until the cows return.

Capitalism at it's best. The Market will dictate the prices. They can obviously ask whatever they want to. If no one buys them then they will have to go to plan B. It's no different than any other fixed price cards that don't sell for the prices offered. From experience when things don't sell at a certain fixed price, then they go to auction and start out low, many times they end up higher than the fixed price was. I have had things on my website at a certain price not sell, forget to take them down, then auction them and get more than the price on the site. It's not a rare occurrence either. (though I do try to keep things organized the comment is more about not selling and then selling at auction for more)

Very true.....but markets always change. When everyone is buying, you sell, when everyone is selling, THAT is when you buy. Markets on everything go up and down. Patience is always key.

To be honest with you, I've also noticed the same thing for a while now with Memory Lane, which is basically why they've become non-existent in my world. As the saying goes, only suckers pay sucker prices......don't ever be a sucker
