Wonder what it will end up going for? :o

Holy crap. Time to apply for a loan.
A must have on everyone's X-Mas wish list!
It must be that fresh-out-of-pack smell that makes this item $49.99:

I contacted the seller of this auciton: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OVERPOWER-DC-Marvel-IQ-Monumental-CARDS-INVENTORY-LOT-Booster-Packs-SEE-PICS-/150950501614?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item232559dcee
to try and find out what was in the auction. I couldn't get a straight answer on any of my questions, but I thought I'd post what I did get in reply here in case anyone was looking at this auction and wondering.
In response to the question of how many booster packs are included I received:
"The booster packs pictured were scanned & put in the box to be shipped to the winner."
After a followup question that was basically the same question I received:
"I believe it's more than 5 packs total. All booster packs shown in listing are packed to ship to winner. See pics & count. "
Each time I asked about the booster packs I also asked how many loose cards were included. In my last message I only asked about how many cards were in the auction. I received the response:
"Over 100, Under 1000"
I honestly cannot tell if the seller is being purposefully cryptic, doesn't actually know what's in the auction, doesn't speak English as a first language, or what. In any event, my guess is that the auction really isn't worth very much.

I'd be interested to one day see some of the harder cards to get, graded.
Ex: Spiderman IQ, DoW, Power Leech, etc.
There may be a market for collectors that wish to have a Gem Mint Beyonder. Given that it's virtually impossible to find one w/o a ding of some sort.

Going to definitely know when my opponent draws this card! I read somewhere that this card is the only one graded GEM mint 10! Actually I think it also said that it is the only one graded period. Does this mean if we sell cards we have to list them as NON-graded? :o
Its virtually impossible to find a Beyonder. The end.

I tend to run across one every now and then on eBay. My friend surprised us by buying one so our group finally has a Beyonder. :D

About five + years ago $40 was the long standing average for a Beyonder.
Since about March or so of this year I’ve seen them sell between roughly $45 and $60.

They've definitely gone down in price then. Before then, I'd always see them going and selling for $90.
I looked one up on ebay and it was running 89 and some change. I guess its worth it if you plan to play him. So he's 28 points? How does he fit into a deck to justify the cost? Wouldn't you need 3 16-point characters to play him?
And he can be used as an activator for any battlesite special, right?

yeah, he's pricey, but there are several very popular combos for him. for example:
X-man, Beyonder, X-babies, 3-stat Magneto [R]
that's a quick and easy set up. use a KO event on X-Babies and you're left with 3 max-8 characters and no unusable cards (if you use non-OPDs for Xbabies)
i just blew $100 on 5 lots... :o

Cheaper than back in the day retail +tax.
Man, I miss out on some good auctions because the seller doesn't post to the UK :(
Having said that I have picked up some cheap lots which had a few cards I needed and enough Rare and Very Rare cards in them for me to sell on.
I use X-man/Mojo/X-babies with Beyonder. Fun to play. Can never have enuff negates! :o
My Beyonder deck: Mojo, Jubilee, Beyonder, Rhino(r)
Such great defense!
