I have recently started trading on line and began foolishly discussing with several local traders my interest in Yugioh and my stepsons all consuming passion for it. We remarked to one retailer how expensive the cards were (£2.99 for a pack of 9 cards, £15 for a tin (5packs and a rare card and a tin)) and that some cards were worth £20+. This particular retailer understood that thier customers wanted value for money and a wide range of products so I offered to help run a more unique gaming section for them. We started with a bin of common cards at 10p each or we would swap two mint cards for our one mint card. This way the customer can rip open his booster pack with glee knowing we would accept 8 of those cards for another 4 he did not have.

We also offered a rare card section were we would sell individual cards at between £5 to £20 to give parents a chance to buy rare cards with confidence (not a "god" card binlot of ebay!) and the children to recieve a fantastic birthday or Xmas present.

Unfortunately one of the retailers I chatted to simply ordered in a lot more tins last week. This week he has raised the price of his booster packs from £2.99, already 50p too expensive, too £3.99!!

So to all in my area I apologise for my incaution and I say - buy online from me I charge cost plus 20% max!! Sorry guys.
