I'm not trying to make assumptions, I just didn't read the whole thread. 

My point is more that it is difficult to just draw a line in the sand and say, "we're always going to split the costs," because people will abuse it.  Personally, if a package of mine doesn't arrive to the person I'm trading with, and I have no evidence to the contrary (a tracking number saying that it did), then I will compensate them in full for their loss.  And I, personally, would like the same treatment in return.  I have had it happen once in both directions, and that is what we decided on in both cases because we agreed that it was fair.  To each their own.

I find that to be the most "fair" because I think that the system isn't easily as cheated that way, and it keeps people more honest.

And I'm sure that, if I wanted to, I could make a package go "missing" by really poorly adhering my label to the package.  It gets picked up and scanned a time or two before some processing machine or belt or whatever accidentally rips the thing off.  I doubt that each postman makes sure that all the labels are properly secured.

I don't think they're a great investment or anything, unless you need the box.  The fact that it comes with a few boosters definitely helps, and I might pick one up, just in case I ever decide to put together a Cube, because it would be a great way to carry it all around.

For those interested, here is the promo Dreg Mangler that comes with it:

If you're just looking for the card and plan to make use of it, then yes, it is probably a deal.  But you can guarantee that it won't have anywhere near the value of the Portal Three Kingdoms one, so, in that way, $75 for it is probably a terrible deal.

I can probably do something like this.  Sending a trade.

I would probably suggest Ensnaring Bridge over Crawlspace.  If you play out your hand there is almost no way for them to attack you at all.

It could work, you just have to be able to defend yourself in some way.  Depending upon what direction you want to take there are tons of cards you can add.  Forced Fruition to make them draw way too many cards, Curse of Exhaustion to stop them from playing all of them, and other things like that.

But again, your biggest issue is going to be stopping them because you will possibly be giving them all the answers they need by making them draw.

I added all of the above to my signature.

I added you sully.  Don't have time to test out right now because I'm working, and I don't have any recent decks loaded in there, but I think we can probably start arranging some playtimes within this here set of active deckbox members to get some testing done.

Neutral Feedback

I personally like having the ability to leave Neutral Feedback.  There are times where the other person screws up pretty badly (like not shipping for a month), but then ends up coming through and everything is fine.  I really don't want to give them positive feedback, for obvious reasons, but if everything worked out just fine in the end, then I really don't want to give them negative feedback either.

Expired / old trades

I think your ideas generally sound pretty good.  I feel like it is missing something, but I can't come up with anything at the moment so, right now, it is perfect!

Sending a trade.

I, personally, just keep all of my cards in the same place, same order, no matter the value.  Prices are so relative, and some of them fluctuate a lot depending upon the current meta and any new cards that come and go.  So, for me, it is easier to just know that I can go look in my binder under Color > Set and then find the card alphabetically, instead of having to stop and think whether the card may or may not be worth >$X.

That being said, that is for my personal collection.  If we were talking a trade binder, then it definitely could be advantageous to separate binders by value and only pull out the "expensive" binder when you really wanted something big.
