Ok I went digging through my trash to find it. For the record, I don't think it should be this difficult to get permission to leave negative feedback when the other party freely acknowledges he didn't send the cards the first time he claimed to do so.

This how it would be if you traded on any other site. There needs to be a process in making sure that Negative Feedback is actually warranted based on the evidence given  to the Mods so people can actually know that the Negative Feedback was deserved. Trade reputation is the most important way to gauge a person's honest and so its the thing that needs to be most considered and monitored so people dont just go giving Negative feedback for their own interpretation of the rules. Thats why having the BTRs are good because it gives both Parties and a chance to speak their part and have a biased party decide the outcome. If leaving Negative feedback was just left after the trade was completed, it wouldnt mean as much because other people can still have or have had good dealings in the past with a person.

In this case Im not saying negative feedback shouldnt be given, but just like in court, there is always a Due Process to make sure the correct verdict is the right verdict


Understandable in general, I agree...but in this instance there is free admission that the cards were never sent on multiple occasions where it was claimed that they were. There's clear evidence in the chat log that this trader was dishonest about shipping and never mentioned the poor condition of his cards....it seems ridiculous to have to dig through garbage for an envelope on top of that.

Just need these four cards to finish a deck:

1x Linvala, Keeper of Silence
1x Silent Arbiter
1x Reveillark
1x Kataki, War's Wage

Tradelist: http://deckbox.org/sets/176342?s=j&o=d

Willing to Buy/Sell to get these as well. Might be willing to part with 2x Deathrite Shaman for the right offer (I can shuffle 2 from my reanimator, I just don't like doing that...but it's better than not having the deck at all).

Only stuff I need right now:
3x Chord of Calling
1x Dryad Arbor (can probably get one at FNM this week)
1x Linvala Keeper of Silence
1x Reveillark
1x Silent Arbiter
1x Orzhov Pontiff
1x Kataki, War's Wage

Notable stuff I have:
2x Deathrite Shaman
1x Hellrider
2x Silverblade Paladin
1x Blood Crypt
1x Stomping Ground
1x Breeding Pool
3x Undead Warchief
4x Asceticism
4x Dragonskull Summit
4x Dreadbore
1x Darksteel Plate
2x Exquisite Blood
1x Boros Charm
1x Perish (6th)

Also willing to sell/buy, preferably in that order but we'll see what happens. Would REALLY like to get trades by the end of the day to receive these for the weekend.

Speaking of juvenile, how about throwing a public tantrum and blasting a user over a single card that had a slightly lower quality than expected? This belongs in the bad trader forum, if you're going to press the issue, not here.

I can't speak for what happened in this instance, but I've had multiple trades with this user and never had an issue.

If you are trading with Canadians we don't have affordable DC. Registered mail is around $10.

Yeah Canadians I make an exception for, though I'm currently having some difficulties with one whose cards supposedly went missing in transit.... Pretty pissed, we traded almost a month ago and I need one of the cards to run a deck in a tournament this weekend. Can't really spare the cash to get an extra Sphinx's Revelation last minute.

It's simply not worthwhile to send with tracking on anything under about $15-20 minimun. If you think about how often cards really DO go missing (I've only had ONE instance of this in over 110 trades by mail), look at the cost of getting tracking on each of those trades versus the cost of replacing the one that went missing. It's just not worth it on cheap trades, and I'm perfectly fine without it for those. I'll be more than a little annoyed if you're not tracking $50 worth of cards, though.

As was said in the post before this, most of the time you can resolve issues without escalating the problem to a bad trading report. This is absolutely true. As has been said over and over, communication is key.

My problem is that people aren't communicating, and even if the problem is resolved, it's sometimes incredibly inconvenient to have to wait an additional SEVERAL WEEKS to receive cards you expected to receive within a few days.

If I need cards for an upcoming tournament deck, I say so....it just doesn't seem to make a difference.

Bump, making progress, only 2x Verdant Catacombs to go. Still need a lot of the 1-ofs and a playset of Kitchen Finks. Willing to put up a cavern for Finks since I only need 2 more Catacombs.

Time to rant about something that's been bugging me on this site since I started trading heavily with you Redditors.

Whenever I mark a trade as sent, it is in the mail and out of my hands. I'm getting the impression lately that this is not the case with many traders here.

I'm still waiting on trades from several weeks ago. Two were claimed to be "lost" in transit but a replacement was immediately offered without my even asking. Dozens of others have taken up to two weeks to arrive when my own cards, travelling the same distance, arrived within 2-3 days. I understand the odd trade every now and then will get disrupted, shit happens....but it's 2/3 of trades at this point, and there's this strange coincidence that they routinely surface exactly 3 days after the cards I sent are marked received.

Just don't mark your cards as sent and then take your sweet time doing it. Simple solution: Don't click that button UNTIL THEY'VE ACTUALLY BEEN SENT! It's not that complicated. I'm sick of receiving cards from an SA trader in Albuquerque for a trade that was finalized a full week after a trade I'm still waiting on from Atlanta. It's pretty obvious that the weak link here is lazy traders who take their sweet time shipping (or in some cases won't even own up to that it's been so long, instead they wait until they can say it was lost in the mail then offer a "replacement" so instead of a lazy asshole they're being generous).

Maybe if you do as I suggest you won't forget about my cards until yours arrive in the mail to jog your memory and I'll stop getting screwed out of running the deck I plan to run in weekend tournaments because the card I traded for to finish that deck a month ago still hasn't arrived.

Oh and FYI, there's a little date in the postmark stamp on your envelope that tells me you waited a week to send your cards.

Check out my tradelist.

Any chance you'd do some Verdant Catacombs out of your inventory? Willing to take the Caverns I have out of a deck for those.

I have one, setting up a trade, you have some other stuff I need for my Melira Pod.

After some consideration, I can put up the four Cavern of Souls I have (one is foil)....but ONLY for a trade involving a set of Verdant Catacombs.

I thought my note about ONLY wanting the cards listed in this post right now was rather clear....but seriously guys, I ONLY want these cards right now. I'm not giving up my Ghost Dads and Reckoners for other stuff so quit asking >.<

Need lots of stuff:

2x Temple Garden
1x Dryad Arbor
3x Godless Shrine
1x Woodland Cemetery
2x Overgrown Tomb
4x Verdant Catacomb
2x Gavony Township
3x Melira, Sylvok Outcast
2x Murderous Redcap
1x Linvala, Keeper of Silence
1x Tidehollow Sculler
1x Qasali Pridemage
2x Phyrexian Metamorph
1x Ranger of Eos
1x Noble Hierarch (this one too)
1x Reveillark
1x Entomber Exarch
2x Deathrite Shaman (low priority, I have 4 in another deck so I can move them around)
4x Kitchen Finks
3x Viscera Seer
3x Chord of Calling
1x Shriekmaw
1x Ethersworn Canonist
1x Baneslayer Angel
1x Thrun, the Last Troll
2x Obstinate Baloth
1x Aven Mindcensor
1x Kataki, War's Wage
1x Fulminator Mage
1x Silent Arbiter
1x Harmonic Sliver
1x Birds of Paradise
2x Dismember

I know it's a really long shot on the fetches, but the rest of the pieces aren't too terribly expensive so thought I'd see what I can get. Please only offers with these cards, building this deck is my highest priority so I don't want to waste what little trade fodder I have left on other stuff.

Title says it all, really need these by next weekend to finish my mill deck for a tournament. Hit me up with trades for this or stuff I need for my cube.

http://deckbox.org/users/BaronVonVaderham

Looking to get:

4x Watery Grave
3x Mind Grind
4x Duskmantle Guildmage

Pulled at the prerelease:

Aurelia's Fury
Firemane Avenger
Clan Defiance
Assemble the Legion
Illusionist's Bracers
Diluvian Primordial
Stolen Identity

Plus the usual stuff on my tradelist.

Would prefer to get a pair of Graves and a couple of the cheaper cards for the Fury, kind of short on trade bait at the moment so don't really want to give it away for other stuff that's way lower priority, so please no offers on that card unless it's for the UB shocks I need.

I have one I'd be willing to trade for a Liliana of the Veil.  I don't see much else I'd be interested in.

Sorry, see original post. Stuff in active decks isn't up not up for trade, specifically list liliana.
