Here's the contents of my 'Not So Super' Super Box....



Maybe about $25-30 dollars worth of cards for $150 - 175 ... I forget how much I dumped for that load of crap. Oops, I meant "1-5 premium cards or autographed collectible(s)"

My advice. Stay away.

Thanks for the insight everyone.. Guess it is similar to the rest of the hobby boxes if you get lucky and get one of the hot boxes your golden otherwise more likely than not your gonna get skunked.

I definitely would not spend my money on that stuff, ya might as well buy a grab bag if you are going to. I'm with DrMitch on the stay away part!

some dutch auctions are the real deal, and dont run a "lottery", like sbay boxes

just sayin'

Maybe someday a company will create a dutch auction that is beneficial to more than just a few people who open their products.

JacobyStealshome runs/ran a terrific, ethical Dutch auction where you really get/got your money's worth.
Josh, are still selling, or did you shut down?

semi-kind of-a little retired. i still have it up, but im no longer advertising nor bothering former customers with emails. ive trickled down to about 300 dollars of sales a week, with the exception of some big orders im making special arrangements for.

ive had more than a few offers to buy out my business (including my account, my contacts, my wholesaler list, best practices, inventory -the whole kit and kaboodle. im guessing any sale will also contain a non-compete clause

For now, im holding off on selling out, just in case i want to take some time off this winter after my kid is born...figure i can make some extra cash on the side if i need to

How is semi-sorta-kinda-retirement going?
With an expectant wife and a child on the way it's understandable that you've got enough on your plate. The cards will still be there afterwards, as will most of your customer base. I wouldn't be concerned about that at all.
So when is Sawyer Blue due?

i am/was ebay's longest running most honest most successful dutch seller....over a decade of doing it. it's still there kind of. im looking into creating a facebook group and maybe a blog or something. some way i dont have to give ebay and paypal 15 cents of every dollar i make (an additional 10 cents of every dollar i make goes to cancer research)
