So I went into my favorite neighborhood cardshop today and was astonished to see several dozen factory-sealed booster boxes of older card sets on display. Apparently one of the regulars needed a few bucks and brought them in. Amongst the offerings I noted a complete set of sealed Urza-block boxes: Urza's Saga, Urza's Legacy, and Urza's destiny. Prices were $500 each for two of the boxes and $900 for the third(unfortunately, due to my failing eyesight, I cannot say which was which, just that it was the three different boxes and those prices).
Anyway, I am just curious if this is a good price for these boxes. I'm not even considering buying them, just wondering if it's a deal. Of course, if its a very good price maybe I should grab them... I dunno, just curious what these things go for.
Thanks!
Price Check?

I would say they are probably priced at:
Saga - $900
Legacy - $500
Destiny - $500
I wouldn't buy them at those prices, but I know not what the store paid for them, and they have to make some sort of profit. They should probably sell them by the pack instead of per box.
Saga - $900
Legacy - $500
Destiny - $500

When isn't this the case?I am assuming that for those prices you are unlikely to find enough cards inside to pay for the box?
A dealer I knew BITD always used to say a pack was worth xxx till it was opened when people asked him why Revised sealed product went for so much. Usually old product, from what I have seen, is priced assuming you will get every good card possible and then some. Otherwise you will lose $$.
That being said...
Over time a lot of sealed stuff keeps going up. You're better off keeping a lot of stuff sealed unless you really want to draft some Mirage or something. Revised kept creeping up (and still does) prior to the dual lands being worth the $$. If you happen to be sitting on a box with money card/s in the set the value continues to rise and when someone sells you the box they sell you on getting all the best cards.
Old stuff, you can pretty much get a M/NM set of the cards for considerably less than 1 box of the cards which makes 0 sense to me. Old boxes are rare though and over time will be more rare.
