Early 2022, still on the let\u2019s call it \u201cpeak\u201d of sports cards I found an ad on Facebook of someone that was selling 1992-93 Panini Longa Vida Packs (in short, packs that came out in yogurts – link to my article on my insta<\/a> : ), packs that you could pack a rookie Figo or Rui Costa for 5\u20ac each. I thought to myself that was a great price and pulled the trigger and bought 20 – for 100\u20ac – and listed 5 for 100\u20ac on eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n

As some of you know, the crash came, all of the 2022 inflation and other events came and I thought to myself this was a bad deal. Almost a year went by and seemingly no one cared about my ad (not even a single offer) – I dropped the price to 50 and still no one cared about it. I managed to trade a pack for a rookie Enzo Fernandez in early July – which I sold for 110\u20ac just after the World Cup ( net 80\u20ac – still negative by 20\u20ac) which was one of my best decisions of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n

Fast forward almost a year – year and 10 months after buying the packs, I finally got an offer for the 5 packs – which made me another 20\u20ac (putting me on net 0). I re-listed the listing another 5 packs, but this time you could by them as singles for 15 \u20ac shipped (which you net me 10\u20ac) and funny enough just 2 days after the listing, I got an offer for all 5 for 65\u20ac shipped (59,\u20ac net), which i accepted, putting me finally in the green after almost 2 years. Still have 7 left, which I might keep for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: I bet on myself that this product would give a profit and it did. It took a long time, just win back 60\u20ac – but this strategy can be applied to you guys. You just need to be patient and good things come to those who wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
