Still trying to figure this out... Chrome FB

[Gore21]

Guys need some help on chrome FB. I have a case coming more than likely tuesday of next week. Heres the scenario, Im ripping and Flipping. I will keep all the box toppers sealed. I will sell rookie autos seperatley, refractors seperatley and rookies by player lot, and singles by team lot? Is this the best way to break it down. Would this be a wise product to pick up a 2nd case of at 660? Your thoughts are more than welcome. PM me if you have any advice. I got my butt handed to me on 06 chrome I want revenge this year!

Well, I preordered a case at around that price and am wishing I'd gotten more than one. I'm worried about having the willpower not to open it, lol. I figure it'll be better to sell it sealed in a couple months.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I bought a pair of cases for $1300 and I'm tempted to let them lay for now. Just don't think I have the will power either!!

or you could always sell your charger cards to me

No my local in town. I preordered back in July, he told me that he has another one available because he is not able to reach the other person.

If he is offering it to you for $660, I would jump all over it if I were you. Hell, worst comes to worse sell it sealed for $750 and make a guaranteed $90 profit.

Thats kinda what Im trying to convince my wife on. I posted a bunch of my hits from our case of classic on ebay , see what they go for will help make my decision.

Not very! I believe they are numbered to 25 and there are only 30 players.

if only it worked that way on ebay. $750 sale has at least $45 in fees, plus it's hard to compete with the big boys without losing your ass on shipping.

Well yea, I understand that, I was just trying to say that it can be sold at a profit for that price.

As far as your question, I do believe that the way you laid it out is the best way to sell this. Possibly make sets before you start to put them into player/team lots for the vets.

just because Chris has them at $774 doesn't mean everyone does. i'm picking up 5 cases @ $54/box... and i didn't have to preorder, prepay or put a deposit down.........


and BTW, selling sets is the WORST way to do Topps Chrome FB.

I think that is a terrible idea personally. Sticking with the sets, wont be to long before Ebay cracks down on that.

ebay's been letting people pre-selll FOR YEARS.

[pskell02]

Is this still scheduled for release on the 20th? Some sites are saying the 25th.

[Gore21]

My local said he will have his ups tracking info on monday am. Also Ebay has allowed presells of wax but singles too much of a crap shoot just saying what someone told me.

[Gore21]

Question say i have an average case decent rookie autos nothing great, is this a break even product at this point or is it a loss?

[pskell02]

So if I order a couple boxes from BO I should get them Tuesday or Wed then since I'm in the 1 day shipping area.

If you sell it right you should make money. Toppers sealed, autos separate, RC lots, star player or team lots.

Tell her she can buy a couple new pairs of shoes and a purse if she lets you get the second case

Also tell her that you will be able to sell it for a profit, even if that is not the case.
