This is facts. Different reasons &/ incentives for different players.
I've maintained 40 plus duals for long time. I play with them and when I'm too busy to do so, they do not haunt me while in there deckbox or binders.
Many of us been around since the beginning and our perspective of value have many layers .

Especially great information Edwin!! Wearing a MTGMOXMAN T? Where's your ETME T? :)

Yeah, pricing anything with low sales volumes can be difficult. Most sales are essentially a seller finding a buyer willing to pay their sale price. Sometimes it's a buyer finding a seller willing to sell at a buy price. If only the MTG card market was as big as the collectible coin market, we might have more readily available accurate pricing information such as the CDN Greysheet for wholesale pricing. That brings up another nuance. Selling to a "dealer" is quite different than selling to a collector/consumer. Where are you looking to get liquidity from?

Great thought-provoking video upload Edwin! Thanks for posting!

Mine are unopened and we’re sitting in a storage unit since 2011 I know nothing about these but the fact that I wanna sell

My neighbor’s kid stuck a black lotus in his bike spokes and now when he rides past it makes a cool sound

On Ebay sold listings there is typically a strikethrough the price with a note that says "best offer accepted" when an item sells for a best offer.

[Dibiase]

Agree, not sure people quite understand how much the old school format affects these card prices. The correlation from when that format took hold and the price spikes is striking. Probably didn’t help much when half of the stock shipped over to Europe around that same time.

[ssherrierable]

I got a bunch of unopened packs I found in a storage unit, how do I sell them?

[iGoldenWax]

Asking before the video is over, do you ever use price charting?

[tragicslip]

on 2/2 i noticed CK had an alpha timetwister available, i put togeter a buylist order to get the card and before i submitted check h
just in case card was no longer available. it wasn't. that was 12k + ask

[Gamer-J]

I wish I could find those Old School players. There are no events near me, and if there are, I am not in their FB Groups or Discord groups or however they keep in touch with each other. The big events are always so far away, and I am not so well-off that I can travel to Europe for a tournament. That said, I'm sure there are many more like me who have cards, but don't have the contacts or the time to get games in.

The amount of research in pricing older cards is so much more time consuming than newer stuff. Other rare items such as old print sheets and limited edition Magic items like playmats, etc. can take quite a bit of research to get a value assigned as well.
