You can always contact the seller and ask if they would take less than the BIN - I have made several deals that way. Just because they didn't list an OBO, doesn't mean they would not take less if they knows someone is definitely interested.

As far as the lot you purchased, I have to say there are a lot of rounded corners.

If you are looking to just do a quick flip of the lot, I doubt if anything close to 30& is possible.

At $499, I would have at least wanted better pictures.

Good Luck

Thanks. Yes I offered 450 and he wouldn't budge. If I edge go quick flip it is 600 possible?

If listed as single BINs on ebay, after fees, you would be lucky to clear $200 profit....I routinely buy lots like this, and based on what I have sold similar lower grade single cards for, I would expect about $200 profit on that lot. If you run them as auctions, expect to (at the VERY best) to break even, but more than likely end up in the red. So I would use BINs....research your BIN prices...some of them will surprise you like the 63 Topps #407 card has sales of EX copies of $7.

Yea I pretty much agree with him, though I disagree that $200 profit is very likely. The only way to really make profit here is to sell them BIN,and cross your fingers on the 1963 Mantle.

What could this mantle be worth if the back is good?

I agree with this but how long would it take to sell them at that profit? I would think a very long time. I see 2 cards that are in the $40-$50 range and one card in the $110-$130 range. Then if you could average $7-$8 each on the rest you would be very lucky.

I would try to sell as many as possible on here before moving them to eBay to save fees.

I agree that it could take some time depending on his situation as an ebay seller.... if he is an established seller with a decent selection of other similar items, these cards will sell quicker for a greater. In my case, my ROI would be about $200 based on what I have sold similar lower grade cards via FP on ebay. However, as Ben mentioned, offering these cards first on the BST (with some quality front and back scans) would be a great idea.
