[Official] Bitching About Prices, Buyouts and Reprints Thread

[Megadeus]

Hopefully I didn't get ripped by the random Canadian MOTL guy for my Vengevines... The rippers are always fucking Canadian.

I find it quite hilarious that the MOTL and High End magic group are both flooded with Faerie cards that have spiked. And also everyone and their mother is trying to buy foil deathrites at 40 dollar now.

Shoot me his details and I'm happy to let you know if it's safe.

High-end Magic group is a waste of fucking time. Got out of that ages ago; a bigger nonsensical circlejerk than the B/R thread.

Are there better/more convenient online communities? I am honestly curious. I don't know, and I was thinking of possibly selling a few things.

I'll PM you his MOTL handle. To be fair, mail may be slow so it could just be that. He has good refs (hence why I was okay with sending first). Still. I almost got ripped by Strickland a couple months back on a fake profile so I am always a little hesitant.

another card that was being held back by the omnipresent shaman is Vengevine ... it's also a Mythic from an insanely hard to find set ...

Lotus Cobra could fill some of the gap by DRS, mythic mana accel guy. Although it was from a very opened set, unlike Vengevine.

Sorry for the double post, but generally it's okay to sell on MOTL as long as you make sure you get paid first.

http://forums.magictraders.com/Ultimate.cgi is my choice, but it's expected that members with low references send to high ref members before receiving payment. Lots of value hustlers.
High End Magic is flaky as hell and people act like hotter shit than they really are. There are good members, many of whom are on this forum, but there is a TON of chaff that commit to a trade/sale and never fall through.
I've heard ok things about Pucatrade, but never tried it out. Same with Deckbox, but I can't imagine it's much different than Magic Online Traders.
Honestly, any online trading community has its toxic members and shitty experiences, so it really boils down to personal preference. I've got 5 digits in MOTL Buys/Sales/Trades without any notable issues (1 or 2 minor condition discrepancies, but all worked out well).

I'll look into some of those other options. The FB group is fun for browsing but I too have found it somewhat impractical for transactions over $100. It just feels too insecure. Thanks for the tips.

Yeah, that's a good call. It's pretty explosive with fetchlands. I've been looking for Russian Cobra 3 and 4 for fucking ever.

it's fucking terrible
ebay is still the best option for pimp items - it takes a long time but you can eventually get everything you want at the best prices

I though that fb group would be usefull but its like all the seller have never been to ebay and are asking premiums. The other half of the posts arny very high end. Foil blood moons.... There are non foil standard cards worth more

Yeah half the people in there just want retarded prices. Guy offered me 130 on Gaea's Cradle... As if I can't get it at my LGS for that price.

What the hell has happened to Noble Hierarch?

It's obviously related to the Modern Banned List changes, but do people except more Zoo now or what's the reason?

Well, DRS is gone, so now this is the premier Mana Dork. Lots of spec too, but generally just the DRS replacement.

Zoo, maybe. I suspect it's also because Pod is looking really, really well positioned right now.

It's probably Zoo, considering how KotR and Arid Mesa rose in price as well.

My bet is also on Big Zoo (feat. elspeth and Garruk Relentless)

Wasteland has just doubled its price in the last month. Star City is selling it for $25. Even Troll and Toad is offering this tempest rare land for $20. This cards, if I am not committing a mistake, closed the year 2009 in a healthy 10 dollars per each.

Now sold out at $100 - it's actually an uncommon.

I blame pack to power, quietspeculation.com (Creation date: 10 Jun 2009 14:03:00 ), mystics, and the starcitygames open circuit

Untill it gets a mass reprint

It will be healthy for modern
