490 card (all mint 1 spanish and from the newer packs)

2 playing mats

1 binder w/ pages

Alot! Please note I have absolutely no experience in dealing Pokemon Cards, but more than 2 years of eBay experience. I had a look and saw lots of 220 up for $40 AU Buy it Now (Roughly 30 - 35 USD), so I'd be guessing roughly $110 USD (at least) Buy it Now; considering the large amount of cards AND all the bonuses. Auction wise, I'd suggest starting roughly around $50 USD with a 10-day-auction, as postage may be hefty. However, I am no expert in this area so please get a second opinion first. Make sure to take plenty of photos as that will increase you chances of actually getting some genuine interest.

 

Hope that helped!

Cheers, Frunk.

I've been studying recent market data, and from the current prices, I would estimate that you would have to sell for about $116.05 for the cards, plus $22.70 from the bonuses; that price ($138.75) should attract plenty of people for 490 cards at once, plus the collectible tin. If you really want to get some eager sellers, place a starting bid of $92.72 (about 2/3; 60% of the card value + 100% of the bonus value). At least, that's what I think. Judging by what EBay has to offer, that should be a good price. However, I'm no expert.

I'd have to disagree with your starting bid suggestion, $92 is way to high, that's known as "pushing it too hard, too fast". This means that no one is going to bid on a listing at $100 with 3 bids placed - they'll be interested and look at your listing, but I doubt they'll bid as not many people actually check the listing details (which includes the starting bid).

 

I must agree partially with NP: Start the bidding between 20 - 30, but implement a high reserve, as this will mean if something goes terribly wrong in the auction, you still get your reserve as a minimum, so using the data provided by SGY, I suggest roughly $60 - $70 reserve. Remember, that doesn't mean that you can't get more than that, you get as much as they bid, as long as they bid above your reserve.

 

Having said that, you'll definately be requiring a 10-day-auction, as this gives your listing an outward chance of getting up to that maximum and generating some serious profits.

 

Again, I am no expert, so continue to ask around if you don't like that idea.
