With the fourth season of Underworlds on the way, some of the first season kits are climbing in price on secondary markets like eBay.
Even before the announcement made the rounds, some of the more popular expansions have sold out on GW’s webstore. Now with Underworlds growing it seems like some people don’t mind paying a serious premium to get their hands on kits through the secondary market.
Whether due to supply chain issues from the global pandemic, or a lack of forecasting on GW’s part, tons of kits, and even just sleeves for them are quickly approaching double price premiums on sites like eBay.
We’ll be going over a few examples here to watch out for…
WHU Shadespire Prices Starting To Climb On Secondary Market
First off the going price on GW for Underworlds expansion seems to be around $33-$35 dollars for the current expansions on GW. Sleeves are $12 and dice are $8-$12. How About over on eBay for the older sets?
Some of the Expansions are going for $38-$45, without taking into consideration the increased price of shipping on eBay. Almost a 40% markup, but that’s not even the most extreme example…
One customer paid $72 dollars plus shipping for a box. Almost double the original price! No matter how you look at it, someone got lucky in this transaction.
Some sleeves are going for $14, which isn’t too bad of a markup, only a few dollars.
Dice are slightly worse off at $16, probably just because they are a little more desirable.
How about the starter sets?
Even over on Amazon, the prices of Shadespire are climbing. If you have any it may be worth taking another look at…
What’s the point of showing you all of this? Well, if you’re one of those players that stash boxes away into your pile of shame, you may be motivated to part with a couple of kits. Especially after seeing the price that some people are willing to pay!
What are your thoughts on these skyrocketing prices on gw kits? Have you been selling off some of your collection because of the demand?
