Default For people that sell their sealed cases...

I have never ordered or sold a case, but was always curious where people sell them when they "flip" them. eBay? Thanks for the thoughts.

I wished I flipped my football Prizm case now that you brought this up.

Most I've sold back to the online dealers (i.e. Blowout). Though I have sold one on Ebay.

Because they will buy back when supply is drying up. The secondary market as I understand it is a big part of the industry. There is no guarantee a product will go up or down at release. As long as there is room to make a profit, they will buy it back, especially if they can't find it anywhere else (2012 Tier One)

The last thing anybody wants to do is stock up on 2008 Bowman Chrome at release prices and be stuck with it and forced to sell it for a loss

I sell them on eBay when they have free final listing fee promotions.

Wow! Never heard of the "free final listing fee promotions". Is that the final listing value fee that you are getting free? I've only had the free listing fees but not final value fee.

THat is what they meant. No way ebay would do a free final value fee.

I sold mine for free. Every now and then they send out an offer to list one item for free if you use their mobile app to list the item. No list fee AND no final value fee. Saved me a ton on my case sale.

I've never heard of that either. I'll have to be on the lookout

Why wait until you have free lisitngs? I mean you are selling a case or cases that since it is a case is probably well over $500. So who cares about maybe a $2 lisitng fee?

I've also sold cases to Blowout. Very easy process.

I sold 8 cases of Topps Chrome FB back to Blowout this year about 3 weeks before release. Very easy but the profit margin is small, thought it was really funny they told me they didn't see it going over $1000 per case.
