: ROTK Hobby Box
: blackcat20 April 24, 2006, 05:29:30 PM
Ive had one of these (first wave) stashed away since the original release...I think thats over two years now? And I dont know what to do with it. Do I sell it? Or open it? I know I wont get back the money that I paid for it, but there is no chance of a legolas auto either, and I really dont want a Figwit...so whats my next move?

Put it on ebay with a reserve you can live with.

If I were you, and I'm not ;) I'd open it ;D actually, I think I have a box of ROTK somewhere, If you open yours I'll open mine with you (if my memory serves me correctly and I still have it... ).

It's a shame to let it go at less than you paid for it, but as you rightly point out, a couple of base sets, some foils, a box topper and a FIGWIT would be less exciting to own than a sealed box :rofl:

Speaking as one who happened to get a Figwit in one of my two boxes, I'd still open it.  You could get a Christopher Lee, Viggo Mortensen or Liv Tyler ;D

Unless you really, really need whatever money you could get for it, you should open it and enjoy it! :)  I couldn't find a price guide entry for ROTK wave 1 boxes.  What's the usual selling price?

is there an auto you want? if so sell the box and buy the auto..
trust me on this, I went throgh 32 cases of ROTKu to get PJ and the card was cheaper!

Hmmm, there is not really an auto that I want, not one that I can get from ROTK anyway; I still need a Legolas and Id love an Eowyn and an Aragorn (but a fotr one). I recently picked up a fellowship Galadriel for a bargain price and already have a Saruman...

I did try selling it on ebay once, starting at the price I wanted (less than what I paid), but no bids... There are a few BIN on ebay at the moment for $US69, but no actual auctions...

Alrighties, ran another auction for the box, with no bidders once again. I offer it here, for anyone that is interested. If not, then I guess Ill have to open it.....Ill give it two days, if there are no takers, it'll give me something to do over the weekend....
