Re: Topic: FTV: Relics Sealed- $85 Shipped
Just bought mine from the store I TO at for MSRP + tax. The whole allocation was sold at that price in one evening (as expected).stu55 wrote:Got one sealed, $85 Shipped in the USA

Ouch, when did that happen? I was there and dropped by the WotC booth a few times but didn't hear anything about them selling the set. Wish I had then I could play with some.yawg07 wrote:YEAH! At Gencon when they were doing the early thing, the guy in front of me in line got his and it had no Mox Diamond, but two Karns! hahaha
The store I was at yesterday was selling them for $50.

To maximize the resale value, be sure to keep the outer white sleeve box intact and clean. That preserves the long term value for collectors. Unfortunately, another local retailer discarded all of their white boxes for this round of From the Vault for some reason. (They didn't do it on the previous two rounds, so I don't know why they did it this time.) This retailer is going to have some unhappy customers, myself included.

This doesn't make a ton of sense...I would consider the white box to be there to keep the main box clean and if the white box is dirty, that just means the main box should be clean....
They had 4 randomly stationed people each day between 10 and 11am in the TCG hall and Vendor Hall.mystical_tutor wrote:Ouch, when did that happen?

Those people would put on red FTV Relics shirts and would hand out 25 tickets (total of 100 tickets a day, 400 total)
If you got a ticket, you could purchase one FTV Relics for MSRP from the WotC booth and they'd stamp your badge.
Right before they'd give em out they'd tweet where they were. So I was standing around with my buddies in different locations, each of us refreshing our twitter.
People went nuts over it, it was a big deal. People were running all over when the tweets hit.
I got one on Day 4, bought the thing for 35 and sold it for 90.

but it is not wizards charging more though... The msrp is like 35$ iirc so if wizards prints like 10k they make 350k and retailers jack up to 70 lets say and the profit they make is not going back to wizards right? If wizards instead prints 20k units at 35$ then they make 700k and retailers might not be able to jack up the price so much but they still make money. I dont see why wizards wouldnt do it - are they afraid the units might not sell out or something?flametongue wrote:No but the price has gone up 25% in the Uk, i suspect they will just keep slowly inflating the price, since with the nice packaging and the demand they can justify this as a prieumum product, why print more when they can just charge more
I heard some guy from local say there's even talk about a P9 FTV msrp at 800$ or something....

The person at your store is stupid then, p9 will never get reprinted due to the reprint policy.
Wizards doesn't sell things at MSRP, they sell for under it. So they are making even less. I am sure they know that if they make more units, they will make more money, but that doesn't help the player buying the unit. The only reason I buy these is because they will eventually rise in price, but I am also lucky that my store sells them at MSRP

nice. i dont really blame stores selling ebay prices since some people buy them to sell on ebay... i would def buy a set if it were FTV angels
