Hello fellow E-bay buyers!

I am telling you what is good buying in the Yugioh universe.... and what is reasonable for you to be purchasing to add to your collection...(but you might be right too)

There are many great, great deals, and if you are looking for that one card to add to your collection/deck, then make sure if it's holographic that the card that you are purchasing is worth your money. If you are a collector, then watch out when you are buying, because now-a-days, the new structure decks re-release some of the better cards, but in a much less valuable box. (For the duelists, it's money wise good and it's just as useable but, I think it's $10 a structure deck...and Dark beginning/revelation packs have lots of rare/holos in a common version for like $.10 ) Many sellers are selling that extra mobius you need for $5-$7 but if you don't check it could be that common kind that isn't even the valuable kind worth a bit more than that. And make sure to check a pricing guide on the single cards(beckett, etc.) to make sure you are getting a deal. 

Oh, and me personally, I like to see a picture of the cards that I am buying. (and I hope you do too )

Think money-wise as well, because sellers like to sell that one cent card off, but they have an $9.99 shipping. And then when you buy something like that, it comes in a $3.21 envelope..so the seller made an extra 6.78?
Now I think thats even worse than our taxes (Hahahaha just kidding).

And, my favorites, lots/collections(not grab bags) are usually someone giving up on Yu-gi-oh! and selling their life's collection of cards for a very good price. And they get rid of about thousands of cards and in the better auctions, have lots of  holographics. Now, be honest with me, wouldn't you mind paying maybe, 50 bucks and getting at least one D.D Assailant, perhaps a Cyber Dragon, or another Jinzo...OR maybe they threw in a few Exodia pieces..(not DB1 set). And mathamatically, if you got 100 holos for 50 bucks (after shipping, and yes I did purchase one lately, it had Airknight,Jinzo,Ring...really) that would count out to be around...two holographics for a buck!?! Now that is good, not including the tournament legal stuff!

So....now that I have shared my wisdom with you awesome people, I hope you can use this small guide to get that extra Cyber Dragon! (You can, trust me) And use E-bay to find some great deals you can't find in a booster pack!

God bless you all! And take a quick second of your time to hit "yes" if you liked it. Thanks.
