shadroch Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Dancer is the best VP instructor out there, but that software is pretty dated. Lots of very popular games didn't exist back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafan Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 what was in the other 4 random boxes you bought for $150? I thought his strategy was going to be him picking box #1 which would be sprinkled with some goodies and offer you a borderline decent price that he knew you'd accept then hand you box #2 with more drek but still a bit of goodies at a less favorable price but still tantalizing you into a 3rd and 4th box. However, his actual method seemed better: let you go though boxes, let you pick out the box you were interested in and make you a decent offer on the box that you'd accept and then after he had you hooked on 2 solid boxes, go in for the kill with a bulk purchase for a set price. If he's willing to do $37.50 per box at a random amount he's probably just trying to get more than $20-25/long box at this point. Which means he probably already made $40 and $30 profit (or acceptable margin) on the initial 2 boxes and tested your interest at a $50/box price point but found it at $37.50 per box. If you want to proceed and think the rest are worth it I wonder if he'd take $30-37.50/box for the rest. If the other 4 boxes you bought were nearly all drek then you can see where his strategy was. Not bad. Great way to get rid of drek along with your good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a lot of drek for him to feel happy with $70 a long box especially if there is nice stuff like Wolverine Limited issues sprinkled into the mix.

shadroch Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 First off ,they are short boxes, loosely packed. about 140 books in them. The six boxes yielded 850 books. About half is total . Three for a dollar fodder. I'm happy with the results, but won't buy the entire lot for the same price as it mostly duplicated stuff I already own. On the plus side, I got six brand new BCW short boxes, about fifty mylar4s that I will repurpose and at least 200 mylite2s I'll find use for. Bad side is it took about four hours to loosely organize it. If it is still there in six months, I'll buy again but first I need to move the stuff.
