I could use your tezz

Still interested in grabbing these...bump!

Just a couple more cards guys, thanks for the help!

Alrighty, still looking for a few of these, would love to grab any of them.

Well at least I'm not alone in my troubles =P

Excellent advice, will do.

Again, over 200 trades, this has never happened...but I guess there is a first time for everything.

Well either way my question is answered and opinions have been voiced. Thanks all around! I'm gonna stop worrying and just hash it out with him.

Although to you who have traded with me before and those I might trade with in the future, you might find your top loaders covered in tape to make sure if it gets jostled around nothing could possibly happen again tongue

Well it is a slight tear that does not affect the name, mana cost, or picture so I guess it would be legal.

Thanks for the thought bondidude, I'll pose that to him because he seemed to want to keep it other than being worried about tourney play.

My opinion:
Until in the hands of the recipient, the cards are yours and your responsibility. If a person is trading for a card in X condition and they arrive as Y, obviously it is not their fault and they wouldn't have traded for that value if at all having known these facts. Your option 2 (he just gets stuck with the Jitte) is not an option at all. You need to work out an agreement with the person you've traded. Maybe he's ok with a damaged Jitte, but only values it at $10 so you need to send additional trade to make up for it. Maybe he just wants to reverse the trade. Whatever the person decides, it should be completely their decision (to an agreeable extent).

Just reverse the situation and put yourself in the other persons shoes.

Oh I completely understand that, I would hate to be in either position, but here I am. I am not gonna stick him with the Jitte, we are both communicating right now to solve the issue but I just wanted to get some feedback from you guys on your experiences with this.

He wants it for tournament play, does a small tear on the top border make it illegal?

I built a Sliver deck about 3 months ago...first off WOOOOOOOOOOO SLIVER BUDDY, don't let anyone hate on you for it, play it with pride...and then murder them big_smile

Second, I found no one willing to trade on those except for the queen and that involved a verdant catacombs, I bought a sliver premium deck ages ago and used that for my base so I had the overlord and many great slivers, lastly, and this may hurt the wallet, I bought a foil sliver legion and foil Toxin sliver.

Good luck man! May the Hive be with you!

Still looking...sooooooooo close, list started with over 25 cards...now look at it!

Per the guidelines posted here, http://deckbox.org/help/trade_guidelines, you are responsible. Specifically, "Use delivery confirmation, tracking and insurance for sending cards. As the rules state, you are responsible for proving you send the cards and for their arrival at the destination. If you are not insured, any problem with the post will have to be covered by yourself."

I'm pretty sure the default option in this situation is for you to either replace the Jitte or pay for the cost of replacement. It sucks, but that's the risk you take when you mail in a normal envelope, with no insurance. I've seen some envelopes come pretty gnarly and damaged thru trades and card purchases, as well as receiving an alm ost 100% illegible letter at my place of work. It does happen, and it sucks. While it's really neither of your faults per-se, more of them blame lies on you. The other party really has no control how you packaged your cards, and even though you didn;t maliciously package them, you also didn't use a bubble mailer or add insurance. If you were ordering cards from a store and they came damaged, you would likely expect a replacement/refund. As such, if you send cards and they are received damaged, the other person is within their rights to expect the same.

Additionally, the rules cover just about everything. http://deckbox.org/help/trade_rules

Despite all this you can always try to work something out with the user. The main thing here is that you both agree on some sort of restitution.


Thanks for the post, I looked at the reddit rules and totally spaced on over all site rules.

Just to be clear I did not use a normal envelope, this was an express mailer for sending pictures and other things that you do not want to bend, has a hard cardboard shell so that things like that don't happen. I was just surprised anything did. Also I would insure but only for card value over fifity bucks otherwise the cost of trading becomes ridiculous spending 5-10 dollars every time I send something out. Also I always send with DC.

Regardless at least I know what the rules say and where to go from here.

Paul, question answered, thanks all!

Hey all Amarus here, normally you see me peddling my wares but I have a pretty serious question about what all of you would do when this happens.

I just had a trade with another pretty reputable dude here on deckbox and all was well until my Jitte showed up to his place torn in the mail. I sent it the same way I send all my cards, penny sleeve and top loader within a thick cardboard stock mailer to keep them flat. But apparently this time some dunce at the post decided to shake it up...or...something, either way the card showed up torn with pics to prove it. Now I have not received his cards yet but I am sure I will as I have traded with him before. He is not in the wrong, nor am I from what I figure. What is the normal operating procedure here? Am I considered at fault? Do I mail his stuff back (killer because it was my first maze of ith sad ) ,do I shell out cash (which I can't spare now as I just spent 1700 fixing my car) or is it sorry mate rolled the mail dice and got snake eyes. All options in my mind suck because one of us is screwed.

Options:
1) I pay for the vault of damage      (this sucks because now I am essentially out cash and my Jitte)
2) Nothing happens, mail's fault, can't be blamed      (This sucks because he is now stuck with a torn Jitte)
3) We send everything back (this sucks because we are both out extra postage and now I have the torn Jitte)

If there is another way please advise! I was wondering if there was a forum rule on this but there is nothing I can see. I want us both to come away from this happy, I have traded over 200 times and I have never had anything show up busted...this just really sucks. I made an awesome trade today for the new promo judge foil vindicated and was high on fire...this is a real bummer, been fretting about it all night. If figure somebody else has had to have had this problem so your advice would be greatly appreciated!

Either way thanks for reading and have a good night everyone!

Cheers,
Amarus Cameron

@UnstableFlux: SCG and Channel Fireball both have 'em at $99.99. I'd like to get at least $90 apiece in trade.

Oh hot damn, Don't think I've got anything of that value >_< I had no idea they were that much tongue

I'm trading the soul of my own unborn child for that crap, it has SORIN on it, and the flavor is PERFECT...

Right now I'm just trying to run counters that steal and counters for merciless evictions. I can handle anything that destroys, but if they exile all my good stuff, which I will cheat onto the board, I'm in trouble.

I thought of that too, was so excited and I was like and I can regenerate too!....oh wait....damn...

Yeah I guess that might work but then it negates all of my artifact protection...I want to focus on that, the creature protection is secondary I guess.

Thanks for the thought though, I had thought of that as well, but then I should be running sterling grove which I can't, or privileged position, which I also can't.

Nobody has an idea here?

Best I can do for you is sell you the mind seize pre con commander deck. I have it sealed. If you are interested, send me a note.

Also updated list

Got a question, is there any enchantment in white black or blue that gives creatures hexproof or shroud, or even indestructibility?

Not looking for Edrazi monument due to the sac requirement. Won't have enough creatures.
