Character Amiibo Cards: Values on the Rise

$50 for a card?? Geez...so glad I finished all the sets while they were still considered 'worthless' & figurines too... -_- Good luck to all who are just getting started. Hopefully the prices crash again, so you can get what you want at a reasonable price.
 
Most I've gotten so far is $30, and that was for Lucky.

Sending and receiving cards can be tricky if you've never done it. It's a bit more complicated than addressing the right side of the envelope and adding a stamp. All my cards get a soft sleeve and CardSaver before entering either an envelope or bubble mailer.
 
I purchased 18 packs this morning of Series 4 for $69 plus tax, hoping to find Stitches. I can't find him (thanks, Dewy!) for less than $20 on eBay

are you kidding me I sold mine ages ago for like $8

Yep. He's still averaging right around $20 as of today. I did end up pulling one from the packs I bought, which made me pretty happy. Makes it feel like I only spent $50 on the packs because I saved not having to buy him.

Since Monday, I've sold $200 worth of the cards, having only spent $75 to get them. Plus, I traded $40 worth of cards, and have another $100 or so in sale value remaining, not including my Stitches. That would pretty much cover the cost of the system and game.

I just wish I would have bought more.

omg thank you for letting me know, I may sell the ones I can't trade here. that's wild though. where did you get the packs? I know there are some on Amazon but they're kinda pricey

I bought a box of 18 Series 4 on eBay for $75 last week (were $65 two weeks ago). The same seller now has them listed for $130. I know someone else on here bought a box of 18 Series 3 for $60 from the same seller, but those too have shot up.

There's still room to make money, but it's growing tighter daily.

yikes, I don't really have that kind of money. thanks for sharing this info though! I'll probably just keep a close eye on ebay for a while

Feel free to PM if you need guidance. The best way to gauge value is by seeing recent sold items. You can do that by searching your card on eBay, say, "Stitches Amiibo," then click on "Advanced Search," then toggle the "Sold Items" option.

Stitches is unique because he has his regular card that's valued at $20, and his Amiibo Festival, which only sells for $10.
 
I received my first carts from serie 3 today, happy to find Cousteau and Marshal ! 3 more Monday maybe (I create an account for my grandmother on Amazon, like that "she" can order cards for me but I pay) and 5 through the weeks ! (from other sellers on Amazon, so no restriction)

I'll look as well after other collections later. I can't wait to see if I'll get Wolfgang ! Some sellers will received more packs soon as they say on the website.

I didn't realize Amazon limited the amount of packs you can buy. Check out eBay if/when you get a chance.
 
I'd recommend looking towards Etsy. I just bought a Boris card for $3.28, which was the cheapest I could find it for...I guess if I bought them in bulk it would be cheaper but I don't want a bunch of them anyway.

I almost thought about getting a second one, but I don't want to force a bunch of villagers into my town. Just Boris.

|sf>That's true for me as well. The post office on the forums is one of the greatest places for trading on the internet. While I started off trading cards within the local Nintendo club, the trading on the forums helped complete the last cards I needed. I also helped another club member fill in his next-to-last card he needed by trading on the forums.

It also costs another 15 cents of postage (when sending in the US) in addition to the regular forever stamp, but the peace of mind at having that card protected is important.

Living in Belgium, I have to pass by Amazon France, so we have a limit infortunately :/
I just book 1 more serie 3 pack and a big pack of 10 serie 2 from Germany (with no limit if you pay I see) ; so now I'm waiting for 19 packs coming next week ! :D

That's awesome! Also, I love your avatar. Merengue shares my wife's birthday. I've got her Amiibo card coming in the mail from a member here. So excited!
 
Oooh, she's lucky ! I share my birthday with an ugly guy I think haha ! I hope I'll get that Amiibo soon as well.

OMG stop me please guys, I bought 7 more packs from serie 4 this time that's TOO MUCH.

How much are you paying per pack?
 
If you use a specific kind of N-Tag, which you can buy on amazon in bulk for pretty cheap, you can make all of the amibos you want.

I was talking about the dongle chip wich you could change the amiibo it reads as at any moment
 
I just won an Ebay auction for Julian for $11 plus shipping, so I'm happy. Might look into Etsy for the Sanrio stuff.
 
I feel kinda good about amiibo cards. Missing the sanrio cards and a handful of other random cards. But I have like 30-40 that I bought for the 6$? initial price from targets. I have almost all of the figurine amiibos for animal crossing. And I have some cool cards like ellie, the tomato duck, the old wolf guy and some others. Just ... uh... gotta find where I put all of my cards lul
 
I originally paid $75 for my 18 packs, and am currently at $267.59 in sales with about 50 left to sell. I'd say it was a good investment. They may continue to sell once the game goes live next Friday.
