In all honesty (and hello forums!) I don't see how the guy is offering a scam.
If everything is sealed then it's not a scam. If the guy has boxes of cards that would wind up amounting to something more than he paid for it was a good investment.
I don't understand everyone...? He obviously knows the guy face to face.

I can tell you are shrewd customer. Perhaps this will clarify just how good a deal the OP is getting.
I am currently in possession of a case-lot (144 units) of new first-run copies of the 1987 classic motion picture: Ishtar on very high quality VHS. When these were new, they sold for over $80 apiece just for the rental market.
This case lot is priceless, but as it's fate, I'll let you have it for... 10M isk.]

Oh man
I have a bunch of "rare" cards
If there is such a thing
A friend gave me a booster box last year as a gag gift.
The new account code inside was worth more than he paid for the box.

Well what you need here is some simple common sense combined with basic economics:
1) What something is worth depends on what somebody is willing to pay for it.
2) If you want to keep the cards for yourself you can pay as much as they are worth for YOU.
If you are willing to pay 10000 $ for them or only 100$ - they are obviously worth that amount for you. Whatever amount you are willing to pay for them - it's the cards worth (for you).
3) If you want to resell the cards to make a profit thats a different story.
Then you have find out or try to guess what the cards might be worth for somebody else since that is obviously the amout of cash you can get for them reselling them. If nobody is willing to pay a price for them they (in other words there is no market for them) they are esentially worthless.
Since the guy who tries to sell you the cards is doing this as a business you can safely assume the cards are definitely not worth 11k $, because if that would be the case he'd probably already sold them for this price (or a bit less).
He's trying to find the guy who pays most for them, and probably has been seraching a long time for a guy to pay him a few thousand $ for those cards since it seems to be a pretty dry market.
So what it basically comes down to is: are YOU willing to take the risk to find somebody who will pay you more than this 3000$ for them? Search on ebay and such if people are buying those cards. If there's nothing the chance of finding somebody buying them is obviously pretty slim.
If you think (after a bit of resarch) there's a good chance that you can resell them for a lot more than the 3000$ you paid (which i personally doubt) then go for it. |

Worth is a subjective measurement. Worth what to who? If it's worth 11k why would he sell it for 3k? Check EBay and Amazon I think you will find the value is being WAY overestimated. General rule of thumb. If it sounds too good to be true. It usually is. |

Collectibles are funny. They're only worth anything because you think you can sell them to a) an eccentric, rather obsessed collector guy or b) another speculator who thinks he can sell them to a) an eccentric, rather obsessed collector guy or b) another speculator who thinks he can sell them to an a) eccentric... ad infinitum.
Unfortunately the last guy in the chain can end up holding a bunch of worthless stuff. For example (in the U.S.), the Beanie Babies, Webkinz, and Silly Bandz Ponzi-like market collapses. |

I have a few of the cards, 2 starters and about 3 boosters, I really need to put them in a binder as part of my eve collection. really wish it had been more popular, I never got the chance to play it, and I had to go to 400 miles to buy the damn cards in the first place, and the shop owner was shocked that someone wanted them lol. (the shop nearest me's address was a house... so yea, and the one 400 miles away was at my moms area so I got them when I visited her) the cards are neat though, but I doubt they are worth 11k. As said before, you have to find someone willing to pay that much. The reason magic and pokemon cards are so valuable is there are tons of people who play them. And they want older cards, or super rare cards (black lotus, which I had at one point before I realized it was rare) the EvE card game was the equivalent of eve in the world of mmo's, not a lot of people played when compared to magic |

Why, if they were worth $11,000 would he sell them to ANYONE for $3,000?
Because he's a 'friend'  |
