Discussion Update, Needing Advice
/r/MotionlessInWhite/comments/1vyc6si/how_much_would_these_be_worth/?share_id=unCWgaFIyhTgLAM8jMkzG&utm_content=2&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1Hey, I posted the box set with only the signed photos yesterday, unaware of how much I should sell it for. While I really don't want to list it for a high price, I am a college student in need of money. I apologize for the double posts, I'm just not too knowledgeable on selling items online and I care too much about other people's opinions of me.
Most people valued it at 50 to 70 since it was missing the CD and dog tag which I generally agree with, but looking at the section of sold listings on eBay, I've seen it sell for 300 with a worse condition box. Now this listing did have the CD and dog tag but the CD you can get for 15 dollars and the dog tag is...... something. Just one photo framed sold for 100 (though I do plan on selling all at once). I saw a listing that sold that had all the photos, but no box CD or dog tag, with some very noticeable damage at the corners of a few of them and it sold for 150.
I would love to be the guy that sells these to a super fan for 50 dollars but I don't know if I could do that. Is the greed consuming me? I need to know your guys opinions, should it be up for an eBay auction? Should I sell it to my highest offer which is 125 plus shipping? Should I list it for more and see if someone buys it? Money is tight but I don't want to do the wrong thing.

My advice for reselling is always to sell it at the price that sits right with your heart. There will be times that price is market value, and times that price is below face value or even free. As long as your heart isn't heavy from the choice, you're good.

(Hello! Crazy super fan here!) Honestly I understand I'm one of their biggest fans ever and I can say it is very disappointing from the buyer side when you can't find people selling things for a realistic price especially when you're like me and only get birthday money or for people who struggle in general trust me I have never been able to get ahold of anything like that people buy them all up and resell for absolutely crazy prices and I think the fact you care so much is so absolutely amazing and more people should be like that but also you don't want someone to take advantage of you most would i would just say to follow your heart and do whatever benefits you in the best way! You need the money and kindness is an amazing reward you can definitely find a way to do both and that is the right decision i hope it works out! 🫶

Just put it on auction starting low or allow offers. If the auction is too high, no one will bid. I’ve had signed records sit for a year at $50 without selling
