: I'm a newbie! Any tips? where to buy online? where to buy in Canada? : matthea November 17, 2005, 09:47:30 PM I JUST found out about these cards (yes I've been living under a rock!) and bought a few boxes of POAU off ebay :ebay: . Now I'm dying to get my hands on some Goblet of Fire cards.
Any tips for a newbie such as myself would be greatly appriciated! :) : Re: I'm a newbie!

I live in the US, but they've always given me excellent service and fast shipping.

There are already some great collectors of Potter in Canada, but I won't mention their names in case they start blushing ;) I believe you guys have equally eagle-eyed import tax officers as we do in the UK, so when you are importing from the US, you may find you have to pay extra when the parcel arrives :( There are some nice folk called Warp 9 in Canada who are well known on the trading card scene who may be able to help you with your collection http://www.warp9cards.com/ Those are the only dealers I am aware of in Canada, although you might be interested that BreyGent Marketing actually print all their card sets (john wayne, 3 stooges, Wizard of Oz - coming soon ;)) in Canada, so there is plenty going on up there ;D : Re: I'm a newbie! Any tips? where to buy online? where to buy in Canada? : matthea November 17, 2005, 10:19:12 PM Oh man, tell me about those customs agents! We always get taxes, tariffed and dutied! My husband and I are trying a different approach now...buying the cards under our company and having them shipped there. We can sell doubles one ebay under the company name etc... and hopefull because it is a business and we have a PST and GST number (venders and tax permit for Ontario, Canada) we won't have to pay PST.
Doing it this way, I can collect for myself and sell to cover my cost (hopefully). My husband just laughs at me, but is encouraging. He knows I'll probably get addicted and spend without selling ;) : Re: I'm a newbie!

They usually have auctions listed weekly on eBay and their customer service is excellent. :D

Warp 9 are wonderful to deal with and a good place to look and your husband sounds rather sweet in that he's encouraging but knows you'll probably just buy cards rather than sell them! ::) :rofl: Of course there's always Tom - tomunique - who might be able to help out and he's a great guy to deal with and a firm Forum favourite!! ;D |
