I'm purchasing a sealed Duel Decks Anthology at a very decent price, my question is would it be better to flip it as sealed product for quick cash or is there more to be made by piecing it out.
Probably sealed product is easier. Piecing it out requires finding individual buyers. You probably won't make much of a profit either way unless you got it for dirt cheap.

@ojmandias I'm paying 100 for it, not dirt cheap but definitely not a bad price

Why would you sell it? There's so much good stuff in there any magic player would want.

Well this isss an Ancestral Vision in the Jace deck. Those have kinda ($6-60) spiked recently...

ducttapedeckbox, how about now? That Ancestral Vision will return half the investment. The Demonic Tutor about another 1/3th, so you'd only be down $27 and 2 cards. Seems like the rest of the foils cam cover that. Since your only likely to break even, (unless theres something you need, desperately), I'd keep it sealed. Then flip it for $250+ in a few years.

Huh?
Remember that you'll probably be selling these at or around TCG low, if you decide to. Visions is sitting at $40 low, and Tutor is $20 low. Visions could continue to drop as people realize that its unbanning is pretty sweet, but not format-warping.
If you'll be toying around with these decks, $40 isn't bad at all. If it's just to have, I might save yourself the trouble and buy something else.

While there are some nice pieces in the set (such as Demonic Tutor), I believe it's worth more as a sealed box, since the vast majority of the cards in said box aren't worth very much at all.
