Im tracking sales on ebay(have 3 sets) and it seems that separating the sets are getting a better price! added up the avg bid for thw 2 key coins, and the three left over with the box, and its $875-900! full sets are going from high 700s to low 800s. think its because ya can get part of it if you have less to spend? let me know what ya think!!

You will pay a good deal more in feebay fees for separate auctions. The cap on fees for those is $100 per auction. It could be that you might come out a bit ahead, but You need to take into account that you may have to pay up around $80 per auction doing individual sets.

The ones I am selling I broke up also, should net me an extra 50-100 after fees and such on each set. The market does get smalle the more expensive something is going for, and some people just want the keys anyways.

The $100 cap on ebay fees was the deciding factor for me selling my five sets sealed. That and the fact that it was easier to ship the whole thing to one address instead of ten or so different address/buyers.

This is where I wish I would have lined up other people (or at least other people's information) to get additional sets. I sold my 5 together as a sealed box and was very happy with the profits but it would have been nice to have 5-10 more sets to play with and experiment with doing things like this.

Let me tell u from experience. I broke up my sets and sold them one or two at the time.fees which i didn't pay but still there were 48 to 50 per single set plus 20 paypal fee which i paid. Now your at 70 bucks per set. Then to ship them registered they had to go out priority so it was 25 a set to ship, more on the sets that had 2. Now your looking around 100 per set. Multiply that by 5 and you got 500 in fees. If you sold 5 sealed the fees were around 150 with a max of 50 shipped registered. So u come out 300 cheaper. Now if u can make up that difference in selling them single go for it but i doubt you can.

I didn't want to deal with multiple buyers or shipping all of them.
