Best place to buy foreign?

[JonBarber]

Whats everyone's favorite source of getting a hold of foreign cards? Ebay? Trading? A specific site? I'm trying to foreign out my decks and have not had great luck finding them. I'd love to hear where you find yours.

There's a dude in MOTL named Michael French. He has everything in Chinese. I don't know if he's still active there though, I haven't checked back there for almost a year now.

Mr. French's specialty is Japanese, actually.

I've been very happy with tingxuan on ebay, he's got a pretty large variety of Asian cards and doesn't mind taking requests for obscure cards that aren't listed. For instance, when I was looking for a large quantity of Korean Urza's Saga basics, he hooked me up with quite a lot of them for a pretty low price.

if you're in for German/Italian and other european languages stuff, magiccardmarket is pretty good too.

Although it can be a little pricey, SCG has a large inventory of Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese etc. cards.

What about Russian? I like those. It's one of the few foreign languages I can read.

I use Ebay. Some Ebay stores have tons of foreign cards, especially Chinese, which makes it easy. As for other languages, I haven't really checked on them at all. I guess the best place to buy foreign cards would be in the country of choice though...

Is there anything like this that will allow Americans to sign up? This place doesn't.

[sephorusFR]

oh, I never checked that. Maybe you can send them a mail and see.
I see guy from Singapore on the site selling/buying so I don't see why US are out.

[Anusien]

I e-mailed them. US is not currently an option, but it might be in the future.

I've bought from tingxuan too. He always gives a very good service, and is friendly in communication.

Check out www.manamaze.com it has a special Asian-search.

He is a bit crazy expensive though. He's got a playset of Chinese Brainstorms at more than a quarter of what I paid for a whole box of Masques (that included 6 Brainstorms).

@ OP, I think it depends what you mean by "foreign". There are a lot of different sources that cater to specific languages. I would check out MOTL (magictraders.com). There are quite a few very reputable sellers on there who have quite a fair bit of foreign cards for sale at prices more reasonable than ebay or online stores.

About 18 months ago, he charged me 120 euro for a playset of chinese tarmogoyfs. That was less than what you'd pay for an english or french playset here.
