get rich quick

this will make no sense to almost everyone, but it has to be said. i walked into ‘games of berkeley’ this afternoon and lo and behold! urza’s saga packs are retailing at us$11.99 a pop. they were sing$4.00 when they first came out (and I actually bought them at that price), so I make that a 500% markup. the friendly man at the counter confirmed that 11.99 is indeed market value due to a combination of factors - limited print run, popularity and speculation. a subtle plan involving judicious repacking, superglue and ebay comes to mind.
