Yeah that's pretty bannanas, I think the Blue-Eyes alone pieced out are more than double the original price. I never operated at your level but I was able to break even on the whole habit while on the cutting-edge of tier 1 decks. I never considered Comic Con, that's likely where a lot of people who are not currently into YGO decide to sell their collections

If someone brings their collection with them to a show they almost definitely don't want to go home with it and want to use the money to buy something else. This puts the pricing much more in my favor. There are a lot of casual collectors though and dealers of other products who have casually sat on some very valuable product for years. After years of doing the same show as us, they know we're going to be there, know that we'll buy and they're happy to get _any_ amount of money for it. That deal we got for those starter decks was from another dealer who approached us with "if you don't buy these, i'm throwing them in the trash". He didn't have the time or the interest to value and sell them himself and was just happy to make more than he paid on them and lighten his load packing up. tldr: being in a niche market at these shows occasionally is a huge (but inconsistent) boon to us.
