This guy has a bunch of Aberrations boosters. He's opened them all and listed them by their rares.
Strange way to do an auction. It appears he's a retailer and tired of having these things in stock.
I wish I were local, I'd stop by and make him an offer.

| | I remember seeing similar auctions for GoL boosters once upon a time. I wonder if it's the same seller? | |

| | I think in the Dutch auction he explains he got them on remainder, IE fell of a truck and are damaged/returned merchandise. The ones that were openned he checked to make sure there was a rare and is advertising. The rest of the auctions are a Dutch for 60 of the boosters and he has buy now for a large number. (And yes I wish Rock Hill were closer too). | |

| I don't scour e-bay on a regular basis. But I've seen a good number of these "revealed" boosters before.
For someone who is looking to get some value via their selling, but don't want to deal with singles it would appear to be the way to go...
Particularly from a recent set, If I got a fair value for a Chimera (say $15.00), but i was also getting a full complement of commons and uncommons I'd be psyched!

| | Yea I've seen a few of these before also. If there was a few certain peices I wanted, and the list included uncommons and commons I would actually debate about bidding on something like that. | |

| ArtBooks LLC is another good choice for revealed boosters.
They check all their boosters (usually about 20-40 per set), then post them with a BIN of whatever the MSRP on the booster is (+/- a few bucks based on the rare).
I used them way back in the Dragoneye / Archfiends days and got some pretty good deals. | | | |

| | Not uncommon, as far as I've seen. See quite a few in the UK section of the site. | |

| | I thought about doing it that way with some Dragoneye boosters I found. I ended up listing them singly and was left with a bunch of commons and uncommons. | |

| | There's nothing wrong with auctioning like that. It might be a bit better to just list the contents of the entire booster, since it's been opened already anyway. | |

That takes a whole lot more effort for minimal gain since most are concerned with the rare and the others are bonus. | |

| | and unless you can ID the minis through the plastic or will open the card baggie it might be more trouble than worth... | |
