Calculative Duelist
Ok. I am still up knowing full well in about 3 and a half hours I have to get up and go to my job and work for the man, and then I notice that cards like WIDESPREAD RUIN IS GOING FOR OVER $20? WT HEASY? When did this happen? Screw it. I am going to liquidate all my good YGO cards now while I can and make some kind of money since I already only use 1 Deck now a days and I have pretty much every card in the Decks I keep with me. Does anyone have an idea of what cards are normally going for a lot now? Lucky for me I can sell my Mesmeric Control, Super Rare Widespread Ruin and Secret Rare version. Thanks.
 
Check e-bay for approximate going rates. Beware, they have a whole bunch of semi hidden costs when you sell through them. You could also open a trade line here and let people know that your selling and sell them for what you really feel what they are worth.

Thanks for letting me know. I will wait and see how it turns out. For anyone who has eBay and was interested just check the What I Am Selling Link or something in my profile.

Still, I find it very shocking how much Widespread Ruin is going for, let alone Enemy Controller. That was always expensive, but not this expensive. I am expecting at least on average from what I have seen $15 to $20+ for the regular Widespread Ruin, and probably a bit more for my UK Super Rare out of print version, the same goes for Mesmeric Control, and $15-$20+ for Enemy Controller. The others are just fair game.
 
That reminds me of the time when the ban-list came out that first restricted D.D. Warrior Lady to 1. A lone D.D. Assailant was going for $25-30 on eBay cause everyone was looking at it as an alternative. Crazy, considering you could simply purchase the game it came with AND the other 2 promos for close to that same price.

It's all about demand...
 
controllers, smashings, widespreads and Brain Controls are what everyone is after in my area....smashing goes for about 8-10

i have to keep an eye on my trade folder now....since some of my cards went "walking" at a casual event the other night...got them back, but thats not the point.

some of the prices being asked for cards on ebay is just plain nuts

What was even better was when it went on sale for 19.00, and you could get x3 for 60.00, plus those other goofy cards, while 1 was stll selling on eBay for 25-30.
 
Good 'ol Supply and demand. I remember when I first bought the XBox game to get the cards with it (and have a game to play) and all of them were going for like $5 a pop with Slate being a bit more since it was a 1900 attacker, now things have Shifted. I might have to throw Widespread in just as a "posterity" card 8^D

Smashing Grounds have a high demand on ebay!! 3 of them can go for around $25!!
Considering the fact that most sites that still have them, are asking 12.00 for a single, that's actually decent.

It's pretty bad when your sitting on a pot of gold and don't know it. I always thought it was a pretty good card, that's why I kept all of mine.

Never underestimate the "power" of a Short Print.

Just like how Level Limit - Area B is one pricey common of a card. I mean I know people go retarded on eBay, like spending over $20-$30 or more on BEUD in English when it only takes $5 for the magazine with the card in it, but this is getting out of hand. Oh well I am casing in on what I have at the moment now while I still have the chance.

[edit] I wonder if my Trial of Hell will get me any money. It actually says Hell and I have one that says Nightmare.

Lady Ninja Yae.

I'm holding onto the one I got by random accident. I think one day, I can sell it for 8,000.

If you really want to, "cash in on YGO," the only true way to do so would be to anticipate the ban list. Which isn't hard, actually.

I really haven't looked into it, but I only recall "physically" seeing one Lady Ninja Yae in my collection. Problem is, I usually look through the pack, separate cards I am interested in, then toss the other 6-7 cards back in the pack and into a box.

I swear I find more cards I didnt know I had because I was only looking for "one" card. I've traded for cards that I've had enough copies of without having to trade.

well widespread isnt really gonna go to high, If i remembered were i left mine id give it for 10. but i cant find it.

No no no, you must be thinking about what Widespread Ruin used to go before people woke up to it. Trust me, go to eBay, type in Yugioh Widespread Ruin and you will see. Why you think I am selling mines now? What is odd is that my out of print Super Rare from the UK is only at 19 bucks, but the regular one you could probably still get in a brand new Xbox game is over 26 bucks now. Crazy.
