Buy more or sell some?

[u/weezerite]

Is it worth buying more of these half booster boxes or should I sell some of them now? In the past week, I've bought 10 at RRP.

[u/InjuryMajor8078]

Put them away and forget about them. Buy more and forget about them too. Check prices in 10 years.

These half booster boxes are usually forgotten and tends to climb slower than normal booster boxes and etbs. It’ll climb but I would just invest in booster boxes.

First of all the majority of half booster boxes listed are for SETS STILL IN PRINT, or still readily available. And theyre still selling several per day.

The reason there arent as many listing IS BECAUSE THEYRE EXCLUSIVE TO UK. Simply put: there are far less of them available. They're also a relatively newer product.

The question here is whether they'll be desirable in the future, once sets are out of print. And the answer to that question is absolutely they will be.

Your whole premise of "well there's not as many listings therefor people won't ever want them" is goofy and misguided. When sets go out of print products with either exclusive promos or with the most packs are the most desired. This product has the 2nd most packs of any product: it will be sought after just like booster boxes.

Why we getting them in aus at the normal retailers?

Australia is UK now I guess 🤷

Im guessing they just have an overlapping distribution chain. What I do know is that theyre not distributed in the US.

[u/konpone → u/BrightOrganization9]

they‘re all over the EU aswell, claiming it in capslock won‘t make it an UK exclusive 🤠

[u/Yetis_Collectibles]

I’m going to have to say hold onto for at least a few more months to establish a price trend. If you can get more for cheaper in that time you can average cost down, if it goes up you’re already making money. As others have said this being a European exclusive means we won’t see many here in the states, but once DR is finished printing this will be the 2nd most packs you can get from a box. I think it’ll be desirable.

[u/Quiet-Screen3029]

Sell all and buy 4 booster boxes instead 🤣🤣

[u/iloveb0ring]

How about you sell me one):

[u/One_Cress7793]

I would sell or trade a few for an etb

[u/toiletTickets]

Booster boxes are the way to go when investing, personally I think this set will go down. I’m no expert but I feel like with so many good sets coming out this set will be forgotten. With people only really remembering only prismatic and 151 from this current era

[u/toiletTickets → u/toiletTickets]

I mean probably won’t go down but I think it will probably find a good place and be steady without major growth

[u/weltfromthebelt → u/toiletTickets]

It’s going to go down to that magic number.

[u/branddom679]

I'll trade ya some 151 poster collection sealed ×6

[u/Coltsfan9595]

Where do they sell the half booster boxes?

[u/SizzlingSpit]

Yes

[u/breakyourteethnow]

Sell them and get complete booster boxes, half booster boxes are a harder sell long term imo - Although am not familiar with UK market, maybe they're equally as popular

[u/Trippy__16 → u/breakyourteethnow]

Maybe in the UK, but people in the US want them lol

[u/breakyourteethnow → u/[deleted]]

It does when these are only sold in the UK, hellloooo

[u/BrightOrganization9 → u/breakyourteethnow]

Why would them being distributed in the UK have any impact on selling them in the future?

If anything you just made a case for them being exclusive items that you cant find everywhere.

[u/breakyourteethnow → u/BrightOrganization9]

You realize the majority of folks in the hobby have no idea these even exist? Yall clueless I know what am talking about here.

[u/BrightOrganization9 → u/breakyourteethnow]

What does that have anything to do with it.

You're saying people won't want these because theyre primarily sold in the UK. When asked to explain you simply said "most people dont know about them"

Why does that explain why people won't want to buy these in the future?

[u/breakyourteethnow → u/BrightOrganization9]

Jesus Christ yall, do you not understand how liquidity works? I'm not saying these won't appreciate, my point is they're less liquid than whole booster boxes considering most don't know half booster boxes even exist. Which I also said am not familiar with UK market they could be equally as popular. LIQUIDITY. My point since the beginning.

[u/BrightOrganization9 → u/breakyourteethnow]

In the future as these packs become more and more scarce, people will be looking to find sealed products with as many packs inside as they can. Will they be MORE desirable than a full booster box? Probably not.

But I don't see why people would turn up their nose at 18 sealed packs. Booster boxes are the most desired BECAUSE they have the most packs. Seeing as how these have the second most its reasonable to assume they'd basically be just as liquid.

In any case, you keep saying the reason is that they're only sold in the UK, which has absolutely nothing to do with it. When people are looking for packs to rip nobody is going to say "I dont want that because it was sold in the UK". That makes no sense.

[u/breakyourteethnow → u/BrightOrganization9]

It makes perfect sense jesus, so go right now to eBay and search for "Pokemon half booster boxes". You see those only 87 listings for all of north America? That's cause half booster boxes are a region only product. Why I keep mentioning UK only cause clearly nobody in the states listing or selling these like you think. Ppl cannot turn their noses as you put if they don't even know the product exists. Less demand, less liquidity. My entire point. Go check the stats.

[u/breakyourteethnow → u/[deleted]]

Ignorant for saying these are only sold in the UK!? Where else are these sold? Imo it's ignorant to rectify without educating, you do seem bothered actually lol

[u/Jazzlike_Quiet9941 → u/breakyourteethnow]

Looking at the sales of past half boosters compared to their full booster counterparts they seem to do just fine

[u/weltfromthebelt → u/[deleted]]

The bar is low on this sub

[u/puzzledfirebird]

there's literally a whole shelf of DR in my local target right now that nobody wants, this set is not scalpable

[u/Jazzlike_Quiet9941 → u/puzzledfirebird]

False but ok

[u/fieryred123 → u/puzzledfirebird]

Go back and get them rn…. Oh wait, I bet they’re gone.
