High priority list is in the sig
Notables on it:
4x Snapcaster
1x Lili of the Veil
1x Academy Ruins
1x Mindslaver
I don't really want to break the hellrider playset, I would prefer to trade it as a block.

Heh. A real card up here.

Nice.

Hehe, bet I know what you're doing Actinide =P

Also, when you see opportunities to buy product at super discounts (like me selling fatpacks), is a good way to build up stuff.

When I move fatpacks at ~$20 per, thats far cheaper than you can buy product any other way.
I've built back up like 18 of them, was gonna do another post soon to sell them.

I have a *lot* of the stuff you need.

Figure out what you and Unstable are going to do, then let me know. I don't want to snipe his trade.

1% would be your base risk, by your own numbers.

I see it as much more, but sure.

As an actuary, your math isn't completely correct (look up union of independent probabilities, its not just base risk + base risk, you have so subtract the combined risk).

the point i'm trying to make, is that it seems a little unreasonable to exclude a large portion of the deckbox population from trading with you over an extra 0.5% (probably less) chance of you mail being lost.

internet fights aren't my thing, i was hoping my post would be deleted before it fed the fire..

Based on that, using some basic examples.
5% US risk
5% Canadian risk
5% of 5% = 0.25%
Thus combined, 9.75% on postal service, + unknown from customs.

K bro, you got me for a quarter percent. I was keeping it simple since you missed it in the first place ^_^

Also, failing to read. I never said the *risk* was why I didn't like trading to Canada.
Moral of story stands.

Deleting posts on a rant, masquerading as a "PSA"...

Really? I was simply educating you on.. well.. common sense.
Either way, I think the point got across.

yes yes vince, i get it, lack of DC is scary.

No, actually, you apparently don't. I asked if you understood why the risk is increased (in reference to your "increasing exposure to loss").
The base risk is increased because (in the case of US to canada, or vice versa); All of the risk from the canadian system is added onto the risk from the US system, + customs.

(The order is irrelevant for my example; though it would matter for actually calculating risk unless they are statistically the same reliability)
Having DC just keeps people honest, and gives some recourse if a trade goes bad to "save" your reputation.

Moral of the story: Don't go on a rant if someone will shut you down with basic science.

the point i'm trying to make with this (albeit i didn't know alot of these annoying policies of the US mail system) is that even though it's a little more work for trades involving lots of cards, you aren't really increasing your exposure to loss by trading to canada.

Actually, You are increasing your risk by trading to canada (or any other mail system beyond your own).

Here's the question I have for you. Do you know why the risk increases? Or would you like for me to explain it to you? (PS. I already gave you a hint)

Truth. This mod has it right.
