I am waiting on my latest payment from them. I've had no problems except for lately like the OP. Didn't mind waiting a month before but now it's more like 6 months. This is my 15th sale to them and I have been paid each time relatively promptly. My order is from yours 6jerfz... the latest is from mid FEB. I got paid for my November order in April. This will be my last sale order to them for sure.. I will update when I receive payment. I email weekly and apparently my cheque has shipped.
Buy Innistrad Boxes and sit on them until they are $300+. If you're going to buy a box to crack, make it one of the cheaper standard sets. Unlikely to get money back cracking Innistrad at $150.00 a box.
1 - Is it worth opening it right now to unload to valuables before rotation?
2 - What is the projected price trajectory of sealed boxes?
You can get them shipped to your house for less than $120.00 a box. It's about to rotate so I doubt buying to open right now would be a good idea... Jace was reprinted and only good in Standard, shocks are low, etc. Probably will take a few years to appreciate as there will be a drop when rotation happens and it should start climbing slowly from there. Went out of print a few weeks ago apparently so need to wait till distributors move their excess stock before anything will start rising.
I threw Counterflux in there as an example of an eternal format card that is worth almost nothing, compared to expensive cards from Innistrad. You've said yourself that Sphinx's Rev is a junk bin mythic after it rotates. JAoT will be $5 after rotation. DRS, Abrupt Decay and shocks aren't going to prop up the whole set by itself...I think. But it's just my opinion.
tldr $150 in 2 years, not in a few months.
I don't think anyone was thinking $150 in a few months..? I don't see how boxes could be worth less than $100 that you can get them at now though. I think the whole point was to buy them now as R_E stated that it is officially OOP and when that hits the public the price may start to move upward is all. I had just thrown out a guess of $150 within a year and was looking for feedback.
Might get another 2 cases now that Rancored_Elf has said the lower mainland is now officially cut off? Just leave boxes sealed in the back of your closet and in a year or two they will have a decent price tag on them.
I can get boxes for $110 Canadian tax in (this is if I buy a case for 655). Probably will pull the trigger this Saturday
I get them shipped to my house for just under $100 CAD per box. Cases are $564.99 + PST and free shipping. I just got 2 cases and will probably pick up more.

Lion's Eye Diamond NM @ $70.00
Wasteland NM @ $80.00
Will these continue to rise? or is it a good time to sell them off.
Between those two choices it's Innistrad and it's not even close... I'd look into RtR too if you can find them relatively cheap.
if anyone hasn't seen. on the 19th of January 55,000 cards supposedly.. it's not my video but I saw it and thought others might want to see it.
and this is because? Does anyone think there is more upside here or just a temporary uptick?
