For those busting Razor, are you selling off now or waiting?

[HoustonTeams4Me]

I'm just curious to see how many of those that purchased boxes or cases of Razor Signature are selling off all, most, or some of haul's? Also, I'd like to know your outlook (being that you've now seen the product & what it has to offer firsthand) from those that are selling off thier pull's; why are you selling off item's now as opposed to holding until the player's make wave's when the season starts (being that the whole idea with Razor is the exclusive's, wouldn't that seem like the best time to sell(?), instead of now at release while the population hasn't yet fully grasped the concept of the exclusive's (this was brought up by Brian in the interview with Beefycheddar)? Personally I understand the concept that case-breaker's use (when busting other product's) & that they sell off thier initial haul while the product is new, but I'm beginning to wonder if the Razor stuff wouldn't be considerably a better "hold" product once broken due to the fact that it hasn't yet fully made it's place in the hobby? For those that are selling, are you selling because you have doubt about it's future success? Please elaborate as I am very curious as to everyone's outlook (particularly those that busted the product)?

Right now I'm holding and buying. The prices are pretty low so it doesn't make sense to sell what I've pulled.

Most of the base that sell for less than $5 I am holding. Just doesn't make sense to sell autos of 08 draftees and get $1-2 in return after fees and shipping.

That's what I can't understand, but I'm seeing it constantly occur (I bought quite a bit out of the gates at these great price's). As a buyer I am very happy that the larger "product buster's" are putting them on Ebay as that's equalled some very low price's, however, this is why I made the thread as I'm trying to get an understanding or a different view as to why someone would put that stuff up on Ebay & let it run (I'm talking about the not so "big" name's)?

I listed only the big names on eBAY. I listed all the others for 4.99 BINs on CR. They can be on there forever for free so why not. There is no point in selling the /1499 /1199 guys on eBay right now aside from maybe Lin and Kelly who get more than starting bids.

I also don't understand it. Why not hold the low value ones? They aren't ever going to sell for much less, so why not wait for the player to develop, get hot a hot streak, or maybe make a hot list? Seems like the return on the $1-2 per card isn't worth the potential earnings if sold at the correct time.

A lot of the people listing these now are product flippers and not prospectors.

I haven't purchased a pack/box, however I have picked up a bunch of singles. At these prices, it's a great buyers' market.

That's true. I guess that might have been one aspect that Brian may have overlooked (being a prospector & not a "busted" product flipper- as I know he was a distributor of sealed product)? What about some of the prospector's on the board that have backed the stability & future of Razor, why would they be selling "any" of the Exclusive auto'ed player's (especially if those player's have not appeared in USA)? Just wondering guy's & gal's (as I wrote before, I am now invested in Razor & am not bashing at all; I just get a bit of the freakin' willy's when the "Razorbacker's" are already selling off...(makes me worry that I'm missing something)

I thought it seemed appropriate to not show prejudice to those that despise Razor & everything they stand for (there have been some poster's that you would think the Razor company had put out a "hit" order for thier parent's the way they wrote of Razor....but to be fair, there are some that write as if Razor is owned by thier parent's)
