So hopefully you are finding the Halo postings interesting and informative. Perhaps some of you may even wish to add or expand this exciting segment in your pez collection. Well here are some Halo purchasing tips:
1. Shipping - As a great deal of pez transactions occur online via Ebay or like websites you should be aware that shipping costs will be higher as carded pez require larger boxes. It is a good idea to confirm the shipping costs with the seller prior to purchasing or bidding in situations where there is any uncertainty.
2. Soft Candy - I am not a scientist so I do not know the exact cause however sometimes pez candies will turn soft and remain soft feeling like a tube of toothpaste. It will eventually leak out of the paper wrapping and begin to ooze and stain the card making a sticky mess and attract bugs. This is not something that can easily be spotted by looking at a picture so you will want to confirm that the candy is hard.
3. Price - Generally you will pay anywhere from 25% to 150% more for a pez on Halo vs. loose with the greater increase for variations. Remember price is what somebody is willing to pay for something and when Halos come up less frequently on the auction block collectors are a little more determined not to miss them. This will also lead to a greater inconsistency in the market as of course there are also fewer Halo collectors in the market.
Next we will look at some card variations.
