There were there college students selling some old MTG stuff the other day at our fair. There was one starter of beta. No crap. This guy hadn't opened it yet. I asked him how much. He, seeing that it was partially damaged said: $40. I said deal. Me and my friends open it in fromnt of them. I see a card with a brown frane at the back. It's an artifact. I check the rest, mostly lands and I got a Dark Ritual. I check the back and thre was a Mox Saphire at the very back of the pack. I can die happy now.

YOU DON'T OPEN THAT INFRONT OF THEM! You could have started a legal mess trying to get that THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR CARD YOU LUCKY SUN OF A DISTANT PLANET. May 13, 2015, 08:58:20 PM
Honestly, you should have kept it sealed. You can get a lot more on average if you sell it sealed than if you open it. Think of it this way: sell it sealed for a guaranteed $2-4000 ( www.trolland...../p80116.html ) or you could open it and get anything from $0-10000. Honestly, even by opening it (assuming the starter and Sapphire are both mint) you only broke even ( sales.starci.....roduct=16973 )May 13, 2015, 09:10:14 PM

Define "broke even". I see it as he's up thousands of dollars.

Okay, the value when he opened it is equal to the value now, that's what I mean by "broke even." If he would have opened it and pulled crap, he could have lost money.Yea, he made a 3.5k profit from buying a $40 dollar packHonestly, you should have kept it sealed.

But would he have gotten that much money guaranteed? He said the package was damaged. That might put a dent in the final price for the sealed product.Okay, the value when he opened it is equal to the value now, that's what I mean by "broke even."
