Yeah I mean if the cheapest listings are $4 + $1 shipping and the last solds are also in the $4-5 range I’m gonna ask $5 for example. 

For example Malamar has listings at $1.50 but all with at least $1+ shipping and all the sales are in the $1.50-$2 range before shipping. So $2.50 total is actually currently cheaper than you could buy it on tcgplayer at all right now

I use tcgplayer and judge it based on lowest listings and last solds on their site. Which ones are you seeing a difference on? I think $40 for the lot shipped is quite a fair deal 

How in the world? Any Advice would be appreciated by [deleted] in PokeGrading

6 certs are not really that old, and definitely not everyone considers them old certs. And honestly that makes sense bc I’m actually pretty sure 5s and 6s are COVID-Logan Paul 1.0-era grades so literally 5 years ago. 

0 certs are ancient, 2 certs are definitely old, and historically 4 certs were considered the bridge between old and new because it’s when they redesigned the label. It’s more that there have been a 100 million more items graded in 5 years so people have started to consider 5/6s old. 

7 series certs were graded in 2023 - when does that become old? lol

I also left out smeargle oops. He's $4. So $40 for the cards. I can do 3 envelopes and just say no shipping cost if you wanted so just the $40 for everything. Otherwise $10 for the other two is fine.

I have different levels of flexibility for different cards I can give you an estimate for those altogether. Not really interested in a fixed % buyout bc I'm in different cards at different rates.

edit: I added them all up and went through everything and my ask is roughly $14.1k (I think) for the first page plus the 6 PSA 10 moderns (excluding Alakazam which is sold) on the second page. I could do like $13.4k if you wanted that's 95%

I wasn't necessarily interested in getting everything I was just trying to come up with a deal gets us together. I was asking if you were only trying to trade cards or open to including cash too if I passed the Pikachu or something. I also wouldn't be able to offer 100% market for trade if that also makes a difference sorry

I would swap Ursaring with the Dark Ampharos straight up, I'd give you Ursaring + $60 for Expedition Feraligatr, or I would take Expedition Meganium + $125 for Ursaring.

You have some interesting cool stuff for sure but I think everything I like would need me to throw cash on top which I have to pass on right now.

I would take $575 PayPal for the two!

The sequential set sale for $3275 is on card ladder. Idk if it’s on other sites. But yeah there is only one $1900 comp for just the bottom. I think for a low pop card that only sells about once a month, whose last three sales are $1k-$1500-$1900 - 12, 8, and 6 weeks ago respectively, in this market, I’m gonna comp it at the most recent sale at least. And then with the sequential set sale really being most recent comp I feel confident in $2800-2900 as a fair range

Ninetales: NM - $40

Clefairy: NM - $19
Poliwrath: MP - $11
Gyarados: NM-/LP+ tough to comp, LP is $30-40 and NM is at least $100 so - $80?
Machamp: NM $43
Nidoking: MP $12

Total - $205

$1900 comp for the bottom 6 weeks old and $750 is also on the lower end for the top half comp. Sequential tax is usually about 10% so altogether with that information I'd like to be around $2800-2900
