[Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

[Comrade]

Would ABU even accept a return on a card that's been glued?

[jandax]

Why would they sell one in the first place?

Seems bad for a business model

[KindGrind]

Wouldn't the "blue layer" be really easy to see in a torn-in-half Lotus like that one? Hence ABU telling the card is legit? (since they might have seen said blue payer?)

It's in an intro pack, will probably hold the price down a little bit.

Oh that's good to know! He's an actually decent card. I've been trying him out in Maverick oddly enough. Good for a refill after a Perish hits you.

[Royal Ass.]

Booster boxes are usually around $90 right? Why are innistrad boxes listed for around $100 on the major online retailers? Did something change?

[Onslaught]

What's a fair price for foil Preordain now that it's banned in Modern?

Maybe the same as before Modern appeared. Somewhere around $10

When is a good time to unload my Riptide Labs?

Most dealers get them at $85, so they usually only sell them around 90 as pre-orders or promotional stuff to make minimal profit but to attract people to the store.

Typical pricing tends to be $100-110 depending on if you buy online or from a brick and mortar retailer. That's not including shipping or applicable taxes.

Foil Delver of Secrets is becoming expensive. Sellers on McM have it on sale for 8 eur/each...

[death]

If you are into tempo (Thresh/TA) might be worth getting those foils in foreign while they aren't that expensive yet. I mean Jap foil commons usually go for $25.

I've been a week without checking prices, and now Death Baron is the most expensive card in Shards? What happened there?

Wait what???

My 28 lord foil Zombie deck is expensive now??

Liliana of the Veil's price is rising pretty fast.

Ugh, really hope that's not Jace 2.0 again.

I think all the hype is because she's actually decent. She won't be format shaping like Jace, however. She can't really win the game on her own. How good is she in standard?

[dontbiteitholmes]

She's pretty good in Standard. Unfortunately for her mono-red is much better at stomping control than control is at handling mono-red. Once the next few sets come out she could be a powerhouse though.

[dahcmai]

I think the biggest thing she told the standard format was that they can't have things like Geist of St Traft and Thrun to dominate control decks like normal. She does do a number on those two.

With the flashback she can actually use that first ability to hurt people while negating the drawback at the same time. People can bash the card all they like, but they are obviously bad deck builders to not see the synergy she offers.

I really doubt she'll go much higher since Solar Flare was cool and all, but it does have some serious weaknesses and people will figure it out quick. They always do, but I'm not telling just yet what it's problems are. The deck is damned fun.

lol @ Death Baron. That one kills me. At least the foils are easy to get.
