Seller with massive Panini Korea/Japan 2002 Range

[panini_trader_no1]

Hi guys hope all is well. Was flicking through Ebay when i stumbled onto this seller - cassitas from Texas, USA. Appears that he has a MASSIVE range of Panini Korea/Japan 2002. He is selling full boxes and sets - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6x-PANINI-JAPAN-KOREA-2002-WORLD-CUP-WC-BOX-LOT-WITH-600-PACKETS-3600-STIC...

Haven't came across this seller before so must think he has managed to obtain these fairly recently. Looks legit from feedback from those who have bought from him. Anyone remember the seller from China who was selling France 98 boxes that he never had?

On closer inspection the boxes dont appear to have any cellophane wrapping around them.

I just count the boxes-79.This guy has 79 complete boxes from Japan-Corea'02.How is this possible?

I checked on his feedback, all negative feedbacks were not on w.cup 2002 <

I saw these as well perhaps we should all go in together on a box and take a risk? Whats the chances of having to pay customs on

these? seems to good to be true!!

Think they may go for an inflated price Darren if the loose sets are anyhting to go by. A set just sold there for over a £130. Will keep my on the boxes

Hi Alec

I must be loojing at another listing check this one out http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201141599259?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Very good price Darren for those boxes and a huge difference from the seller from Texas. A coincidence that 2 sellers from the USA have large quantities from this edition? I wonder what the story is regarding their sourcing of these boxes??

Alec,

must be no story, but as I mentioned when I joined the club, that always there are bargains in US site!!  I live here,

and I know that we-Americans- like soccer more and more, and wholesellers still have some bargains, that you

can get in cards events here and there!!

I bought this edition back then in 2004 and only boxes were not sealed! packets were perfect and sharp!!

moreover, expect more Irish stickers than other editions!!LOL

[panini_trader_no1]

Steve can you see the US market prices increasing quickly as soccer (fitbaw) increases in popularity? Probably an easy question to answer however it appears to me that the US market is still heavily dominated with other sports - baseball, basketball etc. Does the lower prices reflect the potential custom charges that Europeans may be likely to pay if buying from the US?

Alec,

I stopped selling since 2011, BUT before that my business used to be 90% to europe and 10% within home!!

I know some sellers mark it as gifts!!LOL

HI alec,

I have purchased 2 boxes from this seller and paid about 2 weeks ago. Managed to get them for about 60pounds each inclusive of postage.

Fingers crossed. Item should arrive next week 🙂

Will keep you posted.

You've got a really good bargain there! Do you intend to open the packets when you receive them?

Hi

Did you receive your boxes?

Been in two minds for the past couple of weeks about buying them.

[nomis0094]

HI yes received the boxes 🙂

Have not opened them to tell you the truth. Im still undecided whether to open the boxes or not. Maybe I save it for a future date.

Recently I have not encountered any further bargains on ebay.. and you buddies?
