I pulled a Chinese Xathrid Necromancer and Primeval Bounty today. Can anyone help me in the way of valuing these cards?
Also, what's the market/niche for these kinds of cards like?

I couldn't tell you the price for them, but I know I'd be interested in the Primeval Bounty . I'd suggest looking at Star City

This always has the Chinese and English versions available. So yeah.

@The Doctor: I don't trust the pricing on that site. It seems rather arbitrary.

Seems to have the same midrange price as TCG (not sure how the Chinese ones get priced)

Well, just compare the prices for Xathrid Necromancer
mtgmintcard.com - $5.69 ENG
TCGplayer - $6.95 ENG
SCG - $7.99 ENG
I then looked at some other cards to gauge the spread.
Overgrown Tomb
[RTR]
mtgmintcard.com - $14.49
TCGplayer - $9.23
SCG - $9.99
Archangel of Thune
mtgmintcard.com - $36.99
TCGplayer.com - $27.55
SCG - $34.99
Mox Opal
mtgmintcard.com - $20.99
TCGplayer - $37.03
SCG - $39.99

Guess I know where I'm getting my Mox Opal from :D
But yeah, I see your point.

They're out of stock.
You don't honestly think I'd have posted that one if I could have cleaned them out, eh?

But seriously, their prices are all over the place, and I'm not really sure how they're getting their numbers. They don't follow any real pattern in market values.

You should never trust prices on items that are out of stock. Can't charge a high price for stuff you don't have afterall and it makes your site look more reasonable.
It's a trap i tell you.

$8 each, probably. There's not a very large market for Chinese cards because they aren't as popular as Japanese, Korean, or Russian. They're worth only slightly more (and sometimes the same as) English cards.
