High End Case- Overnight Shipping vs Late up to Ebay

rbb147 · 02-17-2013, 09:41 AM

I just wanted to learn how people swing when buying very high end cases like National Treasures ( I buy local day of release doesn't count) The highest prices on Ebay are always made the first couple of days, especially for less popular players. Do you pay for the overnight shipping $60+ and get cards pulled and listed during the early hype or take the free ground shipping that could take up to a week until you get your case to save on the shipping, but possibly miss out on the early ebay higher return?

it's always best to list the day before or the day of release.......... but case price matters too (which includes shipping).

IMO high end products, just take the free ground..... any huge hit you hit from high end there probably isnt but a few other examples of such rare card anyway that you should get good $ for it regardless if its the very first or the 2nd or 3rd to hit ebay. How much more would you expect to make (assuming yours is the first) after paying $60 more bucks to get it a few days eariler. If youd think youd make more then 60 id rush it but if not, take the free ground and add that 60 your saving to your box flip

great points... many cases will be stuffed with the likes of justin blackmon, trent richardson, ryan tannehill, etc... The first 3 or so pull a good bit more than later on. Possibly enough to make up the difference and then some. I see overnight is around $46 some places if that helps any. At $2500 that is 2% of the case price. Thanks for your input I think it will go about 50:50 we'll see

Depends how much you want to rip it. You want to rip it badly then go overnight. If you are in no rush then go ground.
