The one other thing about Ebay worth mentioning is that the number of people who will see your listing vastly outnumbers the people who frequent this board.

Hellkites are selling for $30-35 shipped on Ebay right now and a FoW can be purchased for $45-55.  Ebay fees are ~13%, but hey, that's the cost of doing business.  You'll be much better off selling them there and then buying a FoW with the money you make from selling them.  I have successfully used this strategy when wanting to turn high dollar standard cards into expensive eternal format staples.  Good luck.

Thanks for your interest, but I don't see any high-priority wants.

Looks like you didn't read Thrun's comment.  Thrun very plainly states that the sender is responsible for ensuring the cards are delivered.  That did not happen in this case. 

A 50/50 split is in no way fair.  Lets pretend for a minute that we are not trading via the mail, but rather use this site to organize a face to face trade.  OP arrives at the meeting place with cards in hand.  Other trader arrives at the site and says that they lost their bag on the way there, but that if you give them the cards and they give you $15 everything is even.  Does the trade happen?  The definition of 'trade' is to transfer ownership of goods between people.  If we accept that what I just described is a trade, then we should also accept that the trade discussed in this trade was not completed.  The two parties agreed to transfer ownership of cards... which is a bit more than just sticking something in the mail.  It means ensuring that the exchanged property arrives at the intended destination. 
The issue here is not the value of the cards, of that the cards were lost in the mail, but rather that the trade was not completed.  The cards should be returned, as simply as that. 

Even though the vast majority of posters in this thread would choose to do the right thing when confronted with an unfortunate situation such as this, the official rules should be updated in a manner which makes it clear to every Doubting Thomas what the community expects of them should they find themselves in this situation.

Splitting costs effectively penalizes the OP unfairly - they did everything correctly, the cards arrived safely and in a timely manner.  The cards should be returned - it is the responsibility of the sender to ensure their cards arrive at the destination.

I also have this problem.  Probably the wordiest card with a full art version.
