Making money off of Yugioh cards?

Question

Ok, so I was wondering, with the new series that are coming out and the new sets, I was wondering if it'd be a profit to buy booster boxes of cards and then sell the rare cards you hopefully get from the box. One box is 24 packs, thats 24 rares, now you hope for some good rares and you can make a profit. If I watched what cards are popular and selling, i can sell cards at their peek. I can buy a box 1st edition for about 60 dollars. Thats not that much. Now some cards can sell up to 30 dollars depending on rarity and popularity. I would only buy the new sets that were coming out as the older the card gets, the lower the price. Now I will sell on ebay or any place that I can get the best price for it. I just want some people's opinions on this. Is it a decent way to make a little bit of money? Or will I end up losing a lot in the end.

Answer 1

I wouldn't buy them.

Answer 2

I think you'll end up losing; you can't be sure that people will buy every card, let alone for the recommended price.

Try asking a local card dealer, or visiting some cad websites, to explore the market a bit first, and find out how many people actually pay the money.

Answer 3

try slling them to a card dealer most people dont buy ards off strangers but id say youd end up making the same amount you payed and still keep just a few rares. in a new box set there are:

(from best rarity to worst)

1 secret

3 ultras

4-6 supers
