What are the basic administration shipping - delivery costs clients pay, for items bought from Statsworldcollectibles.com online...and WHY the prices charged here are reasonable despite being above BV. Below is the expanation.
Below is a table that states what clients pay in administrative and shipping costs, over and above the price of the item itself, as a standardized example of what clients need expect, in this regard for items bought between $ 1.30 - $ 1000.00 (price for item), to give an idea of how prices are determined. The logic sustains itself once the pattern is understood as to how prices are set when items bought are over $ 10.00+ (BV) also.
$ 1.00 BV card cost to clients $ 1.30 price of item + $ 0.12 paypal + $ 3.44 shipping and delivery costs = $ 4.86 cost to customer
$ 10.00 BV card cost to clients $ 13.00 price of item + $ 1.47 paypal + $ 3.44 shipping and delivery costs = $ 17.91 cost to customer
$ 100.00 BV card cost to clients $ 130.00 price of item + $ 13.00 paypal + $ 3.44 shipping and delivery costs = $ 146.44 cost to customer
$ 1000.00 BV card cost to clients $ 1300.00 price of item + $ 127.30 paypal + $ 3.44 shipping and delivery costs = $ 1430.74 cost to customer
so on and so on...this assumes that we have paid BV amount and shipping costs (envelope, stamp, minimal delivery costs) to receive our items and includes the packaging, hard sleeves and soft plastic sleeves come with the item....what this illustrates is that the BV of the items are at the very least 40.2% cheaper than they SHOULD be indicated in price guides, to offset the costs of shipping them to would be investors and buyers and why they remain a bargain. The NEED to get price guides in line with reality for those paying these amounts must at some point consider the inflation costs attributed with purchasing the items annually and adjust to the reality of the marketplace to maintain interest and produce the value for these assets they have instrincally....and why at these percentages dealers - sellers are NOT making any profit what so ever UNLESS they get bargain deals from our dealers and manufacturers who also are in the same boat. So the need to convince price guide fabricators to reflect this reality remains the next step for investors and collectors to get back on track with marketplace reality...and makes buying them NOW a GREAT idea for when this happens opportunities for buyers will be lost and sellers will have balance with the marketplace. This is why we created this site as a reflection of the marketplace as it stands now...but to assume that in the future BV WILL reflect and be modified to encompass costs of being in this market begins when these points are clarified...BASICALLY buying at 140.2% BV or less is a buyers market and with few sellers providing the GOOD items in the marketplace and anything above is the way sellers and investors can find purpose and invest time and money to provide investors and collectors with what they want all in one place.
