So I found all the 10$-.25$ cards I had on their list and mailed it out hoping to get a check for for about 180$.

    A few weeks later I get paid only like 44$ and they mail back more than half the stuff I sent them. They basically kept all the stuff like SoB&M, elspeths, fauna shamans, Urborg (stuff they could sell easily). And sent me back the junk rares, the junk rares that were specifically on their buy list keep in mind. If they didnt not want to buy my Aven Brigadiers and browbeats then they shouldnt have put it on their buy list. Kind of annoying since I was mostly trying to get rid of stuff that was junk to me, and since it was on their buy list, i figured it wasn't junk to them. I wouldn't have even sold to them if I knew they were going to pick and choose from what I sent them and mail back the rest.
    Happened twice to me, then I found a lot more reputable stores. I'm also convinced, like many others, that they send back played versions of cards that you sent in as NM. It would be a nice experiment to try some day with invisible ink and a UV light; food for thought.

    The one good thing that came out of that mess (I had just started playing) is that I got tipped off to communities like MOTL, and stores like SCG, CFB, T&T, and CoolStuff. Why would you ever do business with MTG Fanatic if the aforementioned stores exist?

    Sounds about par for their business operation.

    Yeah that was my 1st transaction with them, wont do that again. I often consider buying/selling to SSG and but their prices are so uncompetitive I just look elsewhere. T&T and coolstuff are nice though, I have had nothing but good experiences with them. Those two are the two cheapest places for sealed products I know of. Ebay, MOTL and, in my experience, believe it not, MTGS trade forum are really your best bet if your willing to put the time into it.

    Well, the issue is that it's not a single goof-up. They repeatedly fuck people over, and because of this, they don't deserve my, or anyone else's, business.

This will be both an economically feasible AND sensible move.

    Just a lil' testimonial:

    On the Sunday before the most recent bannings, I placed a 'sell' order to ABUgames.com. I sold off 12 shoals, a set of vesuva, and a bunch more stuff. Total was about $245. I was worried, though; if any of that stuff was getting banned, my package wouldn't arrive in their hands until at minimum two days after the banning. They might reject my sale, or try to buy the cards at the 'new' price. But since I had gotten such a sterling recommendation from my friend who has done quite a bit of business with them (think: a dozen beta duals, an entire foil EDH deck), I went ahead with it.

    They accepted it all and paid me every cent. Granted, I did place the order two days prior to the bB&R update (as opposed to 10 minutes after), and that probably helped. But they honored every price I sold at, to the penny, and I would gladly sell to them again.

    I have also had nothing but great experiences with ABU also

    The irony of this is quite amusing, considering it's coming from 'Mr. Compensation Issues' himself.

    to honor an order but atleast they where
    honest about it and not try to play it off
    like they shipped it to me the tracking never
    updated meaning the post office never received
    it and the vendor simply printed out the label
    so no i am not gonna wait since its obvious they
    try to rip me off
