well i personally think that once you agree to the trade it should stay in your completed trades even if it's broken, then you can see who the abusers and time wasters are and you can at least know not to expect a trade with them, as i'm sure this happens quite frequently with the same users.

there should be some accountability once you hit the agree to trade button

Yeah no addresses were exchanged in the last few days I have noticed that traders with large feedback seem to use this to their advantage. They accept a trade then leave it in the address section, make new stipulations and can cancel it without it being on their permanent trades as a broken trade.

We verbally agreed and left it at


BigChip    Well i thought about it bud, I think this is a good deal for both of us. I'm willing to do this trade, but I would really like to get pics of all the cards on your end. If you want me to unwrap the tarm and send you pics i can do that as well. Just know that the card as it stands is absolutely mint with no imperfections, so i don't really want to take it out of it's sleeve. I am also only comfortable with a simultaneous send. I hope this all works for you. cheers

canceller: Ok. Provide me an email address and I will send you pictures front/back/side of each card you have requested

canceller:  I will do so before I confirm my address so if you don't like what you see you can just cancel

As you can see, the trade was made, he didn't confirm his address because "I will do so before I confirm my address so if you don't like what you see you can just cancel"

This kinda leaves it like, you accept a trade, you just don't swap addresses for a little bit of time and make a mad push for a better deal. This seems like a really dishonest practice.


I've also had another user use this same tactic of not confirming address, then canceling the trade because he didn't have a card in our agreement, then after that he offered me less value and said take it or leave it. Again didn't confirm address, when i did he cancelled and yet again lowered the value of the trade. I then just cancelled it and wouldn't deal with him further.

Was in a trade   
It was a big one for a tarmogoyf on my end.
Basically we made a deal, He threw out a proposal and said take it or leave it.
I mulled it over and agreed to the trade.
He agreed to send pictures of his cards and asked for my email, which I gave him.
I waited 24 hours for pictures which he never sent.
He then cancelled the trade because he sold his snapcasters
He then proceeded to offer his snapcasters in other trades.

My question is, is this allowed?  I thought when a trade was accepted there was a certain expectation of honoring the trade. He's the one that made the take it or leave it proposal. So i agree then he tells me he sold his cards. Then after that he said i can offer him another trade with different cards.

This seems extremely shady, is this standard practice?

any feedback would be appreciated

You can sit here and argue with joecat (who has no intention on trading with you) Or you can tend to your trades which have been sitting there for awhile. wink

If only you were in the u.s.

Though the cost of tracking is $15 to go across the border, it has had little to no effect on my ability to trade with America.  I just stipulate that a trade over $90 I'll discuss adding tracking, and I try to keep my trades sub $40 when going in to America.  Another thing that is done to save on postage costs is to make the trade look as much like a letter as humanly possible to prevent the need for a customs form and an extra $4 on postage. tongue


I always do the custom form, one of my trades the guy used basic postage and it took 18 days to rreach me. My stuff to the states has not taken more then 5 business days

You're right that the TCG mid is below $90. But I love having these in the two EDH decks they are in. So you have to make me want to trade them away.

I'm not trying to gouge anyone--just making it clear that I hold these dear and trade them accordingly.


90$ and they aren't mint? I could understand you over valuing them, but you are playing with them, which already doesn't fetch you the mid IMO. Had they been mint, you'd have an argument.

Playing it doesn't mean any damage was done.  I doubt all of the people who have duals listed on here as NM/M put them straight from pack to binder 20 years ago.


That's true. I recant my statement, thank you

Is there a way to ignore a user. So that they can't send you trade requests and that you don't see their forum posts.  Any message board I've ever been a part of has had this feature and I can't find it here.

If you don't have it you should seriously consider implementing one.

He wasn't arguing, you are. Again. He told people what he values them at. If you don't like it, don't take him up on it. It is not iron law that we trade by tcg-mid man. Get off people's shit.

Oh cute a troll, the irony in your post is also very cute. Maybe you should heed your own advice...
