"Did we just become best friends?"
Yeah, I went to Vegas once (for some bizarre reason that is where my sister wanted to get married)...120 something degrees later I decided the desert is unfit for any sort of human habitation, unless you just happen to be a Bedouin (this may also be related to the fact that we got a little lost due to our own stupidity and ended up walking about a mile along the interstate in that heat).
The best part was after the wedding we walked around strip and my policy is that once I put on a suit, I am wearing it the whole day. In every casino, at least one person assumed I worked there. I also got numerous cat-calls while walking down the street, plus people telling me I was crazy (apparently wearing a suit when it is over 100 degrees makes other people delirious).
Highlight of the trip though was visiting the Venetian, I vowed if I ever went back it would only be to stay there. Frankly I wouldn't even leave the hotel, every other place seemed like a cesspool. I'm going talk to some of my North East Vintage friends, we should really make this happen at some point. I don't know if we can do 2015, but maybe 2016.

It's just been the general rumor for some time. Educated guess, but it fits and I wouldn't be unhappy to have an excuse to visit Vegas (for the first time).
I was shopping for my first lotus and then this happened....
Playing some variety of delver.
I think that early in 2015 is off the plate for me, new baby in January and I need to get a new vehicle that can fit the 7 of us in it, plus I don't have paid time off from this new job until late in the year.
Living in the NE though, it's probably still totally worth it. You are in the only place in the US that Sanctioned Vintage can actually happen with any regularity.

I would love to have this conversation:
"Honey, let's trade in the baby for an older model, I need the cash, the guys want to play Vintage in Vegas."
"Also, I'm going to quit my job because I'm a man and I gotta be free."
Is it just me, but doesn't ABUgames has some reasonably priced pieces of (Unlimited) Power? Eh, I am totally out of touch on what prices have been though.

Not happy about this trend. I sold my sapphire, jet, walk and recall a week before they doubled in price a few months back. My lotus is on eBay with less than a day left and I'm contemplating canceling it if it's just gonna be worth double what it sells for in a month. I'm the guy who sold his NM Chains of Mephistopheles to Jupiter for $30 each a week before that guy played one at a SCG event and they went to $300-400 overnight. I wanted to watch something burn....

I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

Wait, having three wives wouldn't be completely insane?
My wife had four before her husband up and decided to abandoned them. We got married and now we are having one, so seven of us. In fact, we'll probably have another within 2 years, but that will probably be all.
You can still find played Power at reasonable cost, if you move relatively quick.
On Containment Priest, I'm actually a little surprised that it isn't a bit more expensive, but then again it is just a sideboard card (and not Blue).
In general though, it's always a bad time to sell and a good time to buy, especially for Power and dual lands.
