For my pick of three pre-Shadows cards (not promos, either), I will give you a card-by-card price guide based on how much I have sold copies of the cards for and based on eBay values.

Thanks for the offer but that is not what I am looking for. I know what each card is worth, I am just wondering what 2500 rares and foils in one lot are worth.

400$US
600$US
200$US

I find it very difficult to estimate. I am going to put it on ebay as-is and I want to list as a "buy it now" auction but I am not sure what the right price is.

If you know what each individual card is worth, you can figure out what the whole lot is worth without much effort.  It's not very nice to try to get someone else to put in that effort for free

When you multiply the quantity of a lot, the $ per single card goes down.

I know how to calculate the $ of each card, honestly I know them all by heart. what I am wondering is when you put 2500+ rare cards together how much does that affect the single card value depreciation? (20%, 50%, ?)

But.... never mind, I thought it would be interesting to gauge everyone's opinion about this, no effort required:

2500 x.14$ : 350$ us.

2500 x.18$ : 450$us.

2500 x.23$ : 575$us.

That took me all of ... (drumrollllll)...  52 seconds.

Maybe I'll charge myself 5$

I will delete this post soon, just wanted to answer the very clever question.

I've kind of got to go with Heron on this one...cards are only worth what people are willing to pay for them, so I understand wanting to gauge your collection.

But--and I'm not trying to flame you on a message board--you've kind of come off as a #$&*@! and ostracized some of your consumer-base.

Good luck on your sale.
