Thanks for the heads up Edith.

I was looking at these and thought there were some good deals in there but BEWARE. He/She has several cards up and has used the same picture in each of the auctions so you are unlikely to get the card pictured, so just consider that and maybe email them for a picture of the exact card you'd be bidding on.

I think these are the same guys I bought my Hermione PoAU Pink Jumper from. They were more than happy to exchange my card (because they hadn't sent me the one pictured) but to be honest it wasn't worth the hassle... so just drop them an email if you want to see the card you are buying :)

He has 5 Trelawneys and 7 Rosmertas?  :o  Those are excellent prices for those particular cards, but how did he get so many and why horde them all until now?  I remember Rosmerta going for $70 and up last year.  That's when I was looking for mine.  :P
Yeah, if anyone needs one they should pounce.

They had more than that.  They listed the items a few days ago (some for cheaper prices than they are now) and a bunch of have already sold.  I wrote to them about the Gryffindor tie and was told that they had several cards with identical swatches, so I BINned one.  I'll post a scan when I receive it.

They told me that they, TheCardKid, purchased Captain Collect from the previous owners.  Maybe the two companies had a lot of inventory.

Just be careful ...

I asked about the shipping on one of their cards to the UK - originally the P+P was quoted in the region of $70 which I thought was a bit steep - only to find that they'd reduced the shipping to something more reasonable but ... they'd doubled the bin price of the card after they'd sent me my reply!  :o :-\
Hey ho ... not quite the way I'd be trying to re-establish an ebay presence after a six month hiatus ...  :(

Don't be surprised if they hike-up the prices if people email about the shipping costs like I did - they're in a win-win situation aren't they? :-\

Good buy on the tie card, Cindy.  Is that the last one for you?

They had a Hermione PoAU auto for $300... good price? Try a $100 shipping fee to Australia! I think the US shipping price was around $50-60 as well.

They've now put the BIN to almost $400, but have "lowered" shipping to $50. Get real :P

The tie and a Rosmerta costume are on their way, but I realized the other day that I still need a Harry gray t-shirt.  Wasn't that card only in the UK cases or given to one UK dealer as an incentive?  It's been 2.5 years since that release and I can't remember. ::)

Yeah it was a UK incentive and mostly seemed to go to one guy (but not quite 'exclusively' even though Artbox would describe it that way).

There's one up on ebay now (currently at £1.22 with two and a bit days to go)

Thanks, Roz!

I looked at the Cedric Quidditch costume one; very reasonable BIN, but 17.56 USD for UK postage!!

I bought 2 promos and 4 packs of cards from a US seller last year and costage for all that cost me something around 4 GBP!! So I think I will be passing on these!!

 $100? maybe he'll ship Emma Watson along with the card by UPS Overnight :P?
