[Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

[dontbiteitholmes]

For better or worse, looks like Scavenging Ooze is going to be reprinted in M14.

For better obviously.

See you in Modern buddy.

[dsck]

Well its reprinted as a mythic and it being very sought after for standrad and modern I doubt its gonna drop.

SCG already dropped their price to $19.99. If it'll be a special promo given out for every purchased Duels of the Planeswalker videogame, it'll crash even more. $7 or less for a videogame and Scavenging Ooze? Don't mind if I do

As I read it, they'll be given out as promos for the Duels of the Planeswalker game, so no physical copy.

If it ends up as Mythic, that would kinda suck.

[anonymos]

Can we get a link to the promos for Duels of the Planeswalker promos source?

So appearently you get a code when you buy the game which you can redeem to get the physical promo cards.

Even if the Ooze is Mythic, that should drop the price quite a bit.

SCG now lists Port at $70. I can't help but wonder: are there people who are actually stupid enough to pay those kinds of prices? Last week (May 11) there was an auction on ebay UK, and 3 Ports (1 English, 2 foreign, all M/NM) sold for £48 which is roughly $75. Of course you could argue that because they were being sold as a three-of, and 2 were non-English, they sold for less than if 3 English-language copies were being sold as "Buy It Now", but the fact remains, there's a huge gap between SCG prices and most everywhere in Europe, at least. I don't know about the US.

I mean, I don't wan't to offend if someone here did actually buy Ports at $70, but it's more like SCG itself is treating its own customers like total idiots.

This just seems really weird; Rishadan Port isn't on the reserved list, isn't in a popular deck(Goblins, D&T and Lands?) and isn't played in casual land. This can't be right.

It IS Mythic in M14. Thx Wizards -.-

[sdematt]

Ooze crashing to 20 is a good thing, not only for Modern but for Legacy too.

The Port spike makes ZERO sense, in all honesty.

People have already forgotten Strasbourg? It wasn't that long ago. When a deck does well, the cards eventually spike in price. It has never been different.

[mini1337s]

Alpha Moxen are overpriced.

[Megadeus]

My Black Lotus, Your Shivan Dragon?

[TheAardvark]

That was a trade I witnessed more than once, along with plenty of others that are completely ridiculous in hindsight.

They weren't that ridiculous back in 94.

[TheAardvark]

No, not at all. When I started playing, Shivan Dragon was THE card to own. I remember the warm glow of accomplishment when I finally picked up a Beta copy ('96ish), just for how cool it was/looked. I had power by that point and it was way easier to get than a Beta Shivan.

Any chance port will drop in price? Sigh wanna buy a playset but it just seem so stupid paying 70 bucks for that card

If it's reprinted, you could expect it to fall.

[feline]

The only thing I can think of (in relation to Rishadan Port) is this: Over the GP Strats'burg & Goblins potentially coming up, as well as people just buying cards for the decks, (Goblins/Death and Taxes) that there's been a surge in demand for Ports/Wastelands, and Ports have been harder to come by since they're actually rare, while Wastelands are uncommon. In that, maybe, MAYBE, that's the cause of the spike for Ports. Beyond that, well, that's all I can come up with for a theory.
