Whether they're Neopets, Pokemon or Yu-gi-oh, there will always be
those super-expensive cards that you really want -- but never think you
could get for a reasonable price. But there are some simple tips for
eBay that will result in your dreams coming to your door in the form of
a small package of cards!
1. Advanced searching!
Don't just search using the default search on every eBay page, click the "Advanced Search" link next to it, and then search items in shops before searching the rest! I have saved up to $6 per card on many cards after finding super deals in stores! An advanced search is all it takes.
2. Bulk buying!
Let's make a situation. Card A is holofoil, super rare, and expensive! You find it for $15. It is part of Card Set B. So you buy it? NO! At least, not yet. Search for "Card Set B"! If you find a full set, it will probably be around $39 depending on the quantity and quality. Find a set of all 'Card Set B's" super-rare cards, and you may find yourself paying from $20, to below the original price of the singular card! It sound crazy, but it's simple logic. Each individual card may be worth $100, but if there are 10 cards, you can't expect someone to pay $1000 for 10 cards! It's the same rule. I have saved heaps
this way!
Good luck on your card buying quests!
