Yikes I not even going to take a guess at how much that lot cost. Bet it was fun though  

[Roz]

*nudge* - ask her if it was fun sorting the base sets...

[ferdinand_the_yak]

*ducks as Anna starts throwing base sets at Roz*

[Morningangel-Iola]

Lol I bet it was. Seeing Harry potter before the eyes   mind you I can think of worse things lol.

[Anna]

Yikes I not even going to take a guess at how much that lot cost. Bet it was fun though  

I had loads of fun opening the packs!!

As to the cost, you really don't want to know the answer to that.

*nudge* - ask her if it was fun sorting the base sets...

As Roz well knows, I have base sets, box-toppers and chase cards all over the place.  I did find some cool boxes to help me sort the cards.  They only come in sets of 25 boxes with lids for $24.75.  The shipping is expensive though (the cardboard's heavy) but they sure are handy!  Here's the link if anyone is interested:

Oh that looks like a help. So did you sell all the base sets or is that everyones Christmas and birthda ypressies for years to come if they like Harry Potter or not?

[Anna]

So did you sell all the base sets or is that everyones Christmas and birthda ypressies for years to come if they like Harry Potter or not?

I still have them.  kbmum suggested I donate them to a childrens hospital or the YMCA, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

My sister-in-law and two nephews are the only relatives I have that would enjoy the cards.  That leaves about 155 more sets to get rid of.

[Morningangel-Iola]

Do you not sell on ebay then? You could always do both give some to the childrens hosp and sell some. Or set up a stall at a street corner somewhere, although that may be illegal, I think it may be over here.

[Anna]

Do you not sell on ebay then?

No, I don't sell on ebay.  I've never tried yet anyway.  It seems like an awful lot of work, unless I can find a buyer that wants all 155 sets.

Or set up a stall at a street corner somewhere, although that may be illegal, I think it may be over here.

I think it's illegal here too.

[Morningangel-Iola]

Unlikely to find some who wants all of them. I never sold anything on ebay, thought about it but not really sure how it all works. Mind you I seem to have the buying down to a fine art Also the endless trips to the post office. Actally we're getting quiet friendly with our posty as he's always here getting us to sign for my stuff. Was snowing the other day (as it has been a lot lately) and he gave us our post and forgot my parcel so had to trudge back down the road again poor love  

[Morningangel-Iola]

Maybe you could give the cards to a dentist. The dentist might not seem so scarey if their HP cards in it. Actaully I wish my dentist did that lol no I went the other day and I was a very good girl lol

[Anna]

Mind you I seem to have the buying down to a fine art

Yes I do!

Actally we're getting quiet friendly with our posty as he's always here getting us to sign for my stuff.

My postman is so used to bringing me packets and parcels that the other day he delivered a package to me, but it was for someone else named Anna who lives 2 down blocks down the street.

[Morningangel-Iola]

Lol thats bad when the immediately assume its for you lol

[kbmum]

Unfortunately, update base sets usually don't sell on eBay.  There are just too many available.

I don't have anywhere near as many cards as Anna, but I plan to put the extras in my Halloween treat bags for the tricker-or-treaters.

[Morningangel-Iola]

Both of my base sets came from ebay, although the update one was rather cheap.

The trick or treat bags is a good idea.

[Roz]

I plan to put the extras in my Halloween treat bags for the tricker-or-treaters.

Awesome idea - thanks KB

[kbmum]

Hey, you might even save money.  Put an entire base set in a bag and you won't have to buy candy!

[Morningangel-Iola]

Better for their teeth and waist lines too  

You won't get any hipocritical people who are quite Happy to send there kids out as witches wizards werewolves etc but would complain about harry   (I mean there are odd people on this planet)

[Anna]

...  but I plan to put the extras in my Halloween treat bags for the tricker-or-treaters.

What an excellent idea!  Then I wouldn't have to load up the boxes into the car.  The little kiddies could take them away little by little!
