Should I get a case?

There are 9 cards from SS that I really want.  My question for you guys is, would I be better off buying a case and selling/trading to get them, or buying them individually.  I have 3 individual boxes on order right now.  My list is:
265  Sorcerors Stone
300  Oliver Wood sweater
360  Filches coat
450  Practice broom
485  Draco's scarf
538  Wizard candy (probably more than one of these because of the varients)
700  Fluffy fur
710  Hagrid shirt
842  Wand box
Thanks!

It is a tough question, maybe some forum members will give you a nice price on their spares.  Since none of these cards have hit  it really is impossible to say what would be the cheapest way.   I don't thing the cards over 450 or 500 will be to expensive, but I have no idea about the others.

I have a suggestion.  I think this is going to be a big hit like the first PoA release.  why not buy a few more boxes, and wait a little bit and then sell them on eBay.  I am hoping to see the prices go up like before, and once you sell the sealed boxes, you should have enough money to buy some individal cards.  That is, if you can handle not opening all the boxes you get.

Hmmm...good idea.  Not opening boxes would be a struggle, though!  Tomunique has them on ebay for about $570 a case w/shipping.  Are there still cheaper cases to be had?

If your getting a case I would take that price shipped.  Plus he has them in hand so you could get it within a couple days.

Thanks!  I'm going to sit out in the sun and ponder this for a while.

Yes, that is a good price.  And I have a feeling that the longer you wait on this one, the harder it is going to be to get them at this price again.

Ok, my mind is pretty much made up to get a case.  If anyone can tell me a reason NOT to, speak up now, or forever hold your peace.

Yeah, Roz.  The silence is deafening!  I'll be ordering this morning.
