I think it's a low risk/low reward type situation in the short term. Could be a decent really long term hold but I'd rather use that money elsewhere.

Oh that's a strange one. Does that mean you're locked out and might miss this if it sells out?

If doubling your small investment of $150 with 5 minutes of "work" is not worth it for you, mad respect

I'm not convinced these ever double in money and if it does it will be a really long time. Sapphire isn't a sure bet like it used to be.

I don't trust presales.

Too often people trying to pump and dump.

Guy with 20 boxes incoming goes out and hits a bunch of BINs on ebay, then disappears or does a chargeback later.

Get back to me after 2 weeks of sales are in the books and product is live.

That's why I list any presale boxes on MySlabs.com. A buyer that tries to pull any shenanigans will get kicked off of the site.

Agreed with other poster.... A lot of times it's also other sellers trying to pump up a product so that theirs will also sell at that price to a legit buyer. Basically shill BINing.

Is there room for profit? Sure, if someone on the bay is willing to pay over $180 for it.

Seems to be pretty good demand for this right now at double plus. Quite a few sales, (fake or not), and people hitting the refresh button so often they get locked out of the Topps site.

Instead of worrying about doubling your money or not, what's wrong with a 50% return? Is it really not enough?

People saying they aren't sure about this product are probably only kidding themselves and trying to talk others out of being excited about it.

This is GPK, and it's only the second Sapphire offering. Of course it's not going to be as good as the original, but it's still $130+ good.

Guy has perfect feedback, only has a few things in his store (none MC or GPK related listed or sold)

I did not list it for an exorbitant amount, had 7 offers with most around the 275-300 mark, buyer appears completely legit and i rarely get into the weeds with fake sales/returns as i vet my buyers (as much as i can)

I have the highest recorded sale of a SW Sapphire Box, have a fairly good understanding of the market...... i've been doing this

If the buyer attempts to pull a fast one you will hear it from me (here) 1st

That's awesome then. Genuinely happy for you that you get to do that

I do think you're in the vast minority though with how you feel about GPK when compared to most buyers of the product

True and thank you. Yeah this was probably a better fit for the GPK club they refused to do anything with.

I just can't seem to pull the trigger. As someone who opens all of my boxes, I just don't see this being a winner like 2020.
