  1. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

    Okay, here is my opinion.

    There is a big difference between a slow decrease in popularity and the format dying. The format can be perpetually reducing in popularity, and still have a baseline...
  2. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

    I live in Indiana now, I should change my profile. There is a good store in Des Moines, Mayhem. I would check with them, as I haven't been to the store in a while. When you get there, feel free...
  3. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

    People have been saying this since the beginning of this thread, back in 2010. At what point is this prediction considered wrong, apparently 8 years aren't enough? Cards don't expire like bread. ...

    1)

    He said people can't play sanctioned tournament Legacy. I play in a weekly legacy tournament that allows all proxies. We have the same fun as people playing in sanctioned events. I bring a...

    All,

    I'm one of the few that is glad the reserved list exists. I agree with the points made in the video, I suggest others watch it. I believe the reserved list has a place, and the long term...
  6. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

    Price is not a trivially simple value. Most ways people estimate price are limited, in one way or another.

    It is apparent what is happening. A person decides to purchase all of the reasonably...
  7. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

    I completely agree with you. I really hope that I am wrong, but it feels like MTG finally jumped the shark. The reprints being used to sell new sets, overprinting, and reprint Master sets all leave a...
  8. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

    The effect that reprints have on the prices of the original versions depends on several factors. For example.

    If Wizards reprinted dual lands in large numbers, revised well played duals would...
  9. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Threa

    What a company says to its customers does not need to be consistent with what it really wants. I have read the public articles that state that Starcitygames wanted the reserved list abolished. I...
  10. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    All,

    I would not place much faith in the automated market prices that we are seeing today. Many of them are manufactured by buying out product with a low liquidity and no playability. I fully...
  11. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    My statement ending in foolish should have specified Magic cards, sorry for that. I accept your opinion that you are on a different place in the risk/reward spectrum. That being said, I didn't...
  12. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    I also remember buying Shivan Dragons for 15 bucks for revised. Things always look better when the results are cherry picked. It is very simple to look at the cards that have withstood the test of...
  13. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    The transaction costs and risks are not worth investing real money in cards. Sure, a few thousand is fun, but not 6 figures. The reasons are pretty obvious.

    You give up at least 10% in...
  14. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    I was also surprised to see the dramatic spike on ports. I think what feline said was spot. In addition to those factors, it should be noted that masques was a pretty unpopular set. It was much...
  15. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    Starcitygames is just ensuring thier profit. They pull product when it is priced incorrectly, and they put it back on the shelves when they are reasonably confident that it is done moving.

  16. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    The increase in price of LED is completely justified. It is one of the most powerful affects allowable in legacy. There is nothing even remotely close to the boost it provides. In a deck like...
  17. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    Yes,

    Rarities have been increasing in value dramatically recently. I bet there was just a big cohort of people that have gotten some good raises in the last year and they don't have families to...
  18. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    I am sure that you are right on that one. My feelings mirror yours. I remember when Candelabras had a similar bump, before high tide, because a few people thought they would combo with karoo lands...
  19. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    Well,

    It is probably the only ripped in half beta black lotus in the world. Noone else has the guts to increase the population of those cards so because it is a rarity, people pay more than we...
  20. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    My 2c,

    This is indeed out of hand. We have some indication of what good decks may be, and because of that, there has been absolutely massive increases in prices. I think that there are way to...
  21. Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard

    There has already been a thread on whether the magic market is efficient. Small arbitrage opportunities exist but in general, it is pretty efficient. I have a few questions for you.

    Question 1: ...
  22. Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard

    The law of one price has something to say to you. When there is a standing offer to purchase all items available price X, the one price must, at that point in time, be atleast X. I do not know why...
  23. Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard

    Ebay prices are not independent of Starcitygames. The cash buy price from Starcitygames represents a floor. Even if Starcitygames is not buying all of the ebay auctions for 60, the fact that people...
  24. Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard

    Firstly, if the shock lands do see a reprint as a rare, The value of the cards goes down significantly. New sets get openned so much more than before and the hit ratio to get a specific shock would...
  25. Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard

    Wow,

    Wasteland is getting out of hand. Unfortunately, I don't know how its price is going to go down. Okay, everyone play single color decks for the next 6 months, together we can decrease the...
