Just wanted some advice! I have someone who wants to sell me 75053 for $325 factory
sealed but a damaged box. Is that a good deal, I would resell it on my store
but I don’t have too much knowledge on that set, any advice would be greatly
Appreciated!

The average sale price in the last 6 months is around 600. That's for a
sealed set I'd assume with the box in good condition. I'd expect someone
willing to pay 600 for it would want that nice box too. I don't expect you'd
get that much for a set with a damaged box, but I think you'd be able to
sell it for more than 325, although I'm not sure how much more, or how long
it would take to sell.

Now if you were to part it out, apparently you could make over 600, but it would
be more transactions/time/energy, etc,

Just my 2 cents.

The 4 minifigures in the set alone are selling for $400+ average over the last
6 months. Depending on the amount of damage on the box, it may be a better bet
to sell it for parts or as a ship stand along and 4 minifigures. Either way
for a pickup at $325, it would be a good buy.

If the box were damaged enough that the seller were able to open the box I'd
have them find the bag and see which one it is, but that would just tip them
off probably and lead them to back out of the sale. It's a catch-22.

So if I bought it still sealed how would I know what figure is in there. Like
would I just resell it for around $600 and just say sealed? No indication of
which type of the kanan?

No way to know until you open it.

Although as it is a damaged box, in this case it could be that he isn't there
at all.

I'd ask the seller when it was damaged, and if they guarantee it is complete.

Best part about this is that the hair piece that seems to be the difference isn't
expensive so you can purchase the right one and boost your profits.

If you want the box, ask for pictures of the box. How complete is the set? Does
it include all parts and minifigures?

Factory sealed is one thing but if the box is damaged badly enough parts bags
and or minifigures may have fallen out or have been removed by the seller or
someone else.

I would want to be very sure of what I'm buying, so I personally would ask
for pictures and verification of contents included with the box. I would advise
you to do likewise.

Cheers ...

Thank you for the advice, I also didn’t know much about the kanan. Do all sealed
sets contain the black haired one or can you get there updated one and the set
be worth way less?

I think it only came from the Ghost-Phantom bundled pack.
