Going straight for release. It's taken a long time to get approvals so as soon as the cards are printed I'll be getting them signed and we'll be getting the product straight out.

If the dealer in question is the same one I received a mailout from a couple of days back I contacted Jason about it as even based on his single box price and adding P&P a case from this dealer would be approx. £50 cheaper than what I've paid directly to Jason. Basically he said that whilst the dealers are encouraged to sell at RRP ultimately it's down to the individual and that some dealers prefer to sell the product cheaply and make their profit on the multi-case incentives. It just strikes me as madness that I would've been better off going to a dealer than buying directly with the company producing the cards. As I'm very interested in the forthcoming Wicker Man/Avengers/Dalek releases from Unstoppable I might be better off waiting to see what this dealer is offering them for instead of rushing to put my order in with Jason!

This has to be the case or no dealer would ever buy any cards from the Manufacturer.

The point I was trying to make, badly it seems, is that I wouldn't have expected a dealer to be offering a much better price than the actual company that are releasing the product which is what appears to be happening in this case.

Unstoppable are including the worldwide shipping in the price, many trading Cardtalkers will tell you that (nowadays) this is a huge chunk of money. They are also including exclusive web promo cards which people like to collect. (Dealers usually charge for promo cards, especially limited ones.)

Actually that is generally the norm. If you look at Rittenhouse for example their website box price is much higher than what a dealer will sell it to you for. The same is true for all the big companies that sell the products they make, some do not sell direct at all.

Basically if you buy from the manufacturers website you are buying retail, dealers buy wholesale in bulk and get a discount.

Suggested Retail Price cuts both ways. I buy boxes from one source and on almost all products I get boxes at around $10 less than SRP. I must assume that my dealer is still making a profit over what he paid for them, as he is not going to lose money on me. Wink

On the other hand if the product is very hot, like Walking Dead or Big Bang, I would be very lucky to pay only SRP. They are getting marked up immediately and there is no buying direct from Crypto.

So you have to go by the popularity of the product and also your own relationship to the source. Most of the time you will get a better deal than retail from any trusted dealer. However if you think the product will take off after release and you can buy direct from the manufacturer before, or you think it will sell out quickly, than and only than is locking in at SRP a good idea. Or else you might be left waiting for your dealer to give you a mark down on boxes that have already gone up or can no longer be obtained.

Just as a coda to the many different prices a case could be bought for one dealer at the NEC yesterday was selling cases for £350 Eek .

Am I correct that, while there aren't any redemption cards in the boxes, there ARE redemption cards? Like the case topper Servalan costume card redemption.

No, as far as I am aware UK manufacturers do not make binders for their products but this may change in the near future.
