I don't think the dealers actually expect to get that for the card. You have to haggle. I think they set the high price to scare off people who aren't serious about buying Power.Originally Posted by Koby
On the flip side, I also see dealers who don't price their Power and expect the buyer to negotiate. This works similar to overpricing the Power - if someone isn't serious about buying the Power, they probably won't even talk about it to find out where the starting point is for negotiations.

That's absurd. I picked up a beta jet for a hundred less. It's a little beat but seriously WTF.
That price is a bit closer to a NM Beta Jet :P

I got a pearl, emerald, jet and a library for $1100. So I'm not sure what the shakedown was. I still need a ruby, sapphire and lotus before gencon. If I can't find a really beat lotus I may just get a beat to hades UL and get it altered.
... not with ponies though ...
Hmmm, something's not quite right here.
Tusk up.
I think that if he spent the money on the power, he has the right to do whatever he wants with it. I just recently completed my set of power, and while I have no desire to have it altered, if I did, I would want to i think that I should be able to do what I want with it.
Here is a pretty sweet video I found
That first link has the most poorly made fakes I've ever seen. As for the second set, I can't even tell which set of "P9" he is selling.

Beta power huh? you need to tell me where you buyed all those cards for that!
The eBay link shows a Fraternal Exaltation, which is a much bigger deal than mere Power 9.

It also shows a Splendid Genesis next to it. Another thing I noticed is that the altered Trop pictured on that page looks just like this one that is also on eBay. A lot of the cards don't look quite right.
So...who wants to report the listing to eBay as fraud?
I feel bad now...I didn't even notice the two Garfield cards or the altered Tropical (which is, ironically, the same fashion my Unlimited duals are being altered into).

You can even see a test-print Counterspell standing in front of his mouse. Zoom in enough and you can see where he's practiced Mark Poole's signature... Classy.
Already reported.
Tusk up.
Did anyone else notice how warped that "PSA 9 Unlimited Black Lotus" case is?

That stack of what looks like graded cards looks like they are just printouts; the cases don't seem to have enough depth to be 3D.
To make this post on-topic:
I actually had a 4th Tundra and a complete set of Seas, but unfortunately I sold/traded them. Never had Volcanics, so I usually just play some sort of Bant deck.
He's selling a badly chopped pile of collectors edition. I imagine he intends on this being the last eBay auction of his life.
Only after the Swedish and Italian guys who bought out my 40 A/B duals on eBay 6 years ago let me refund their money; and give me back my lands
some heavy ass duals have been posted on this and the previous page ;-)
love it!
Got my Beta Tundra #3 today. Thopters: complete. Achievement unlocked?

One of the auctions has been pulled. First one up, with just the UN "Power" pictured, is still up however.
I lied. He reposted the auction eBay pulled down.

Yeah, that's is a friend of mine, Jesse, funniest part is, that Lotus wasn't his,I think that if he spent the money on the power, he has the right to do whatever he wants with it. I just recently completed my set of power, and while I have no desire to have it altered, if I did, I would want to i think that I should be able to do what I want with it.
