I have an Ornithopter Masterpiece I pulled out of a Bundle that I would like to trade into one of the following Masterpiece swords
I also have a pack foil Heart of Kiran and other things in my inventory.  There are some modern cards including extra fetches and shocks I would be willing to give up.

No matter the trade, the Ornithopter would need to be part of it.

Sword of Fire and Ice
Sword of Light and Shadow
Sword of War and Peace
Sword of Feast and Famine

Can we get the Progenitus GP Promo?  It has been around for over a month now.

My math may be wrong but aren't the commander decks $175 for all 5?

Is the German Black Border or White Border?  What is the condition?

I have the following Expeditions I would be willing to trade for some Inventions

Have:
Flooded Strand
Fire-Lit Thicket
Overgrown Tomb

Wants (In order):
Sword of Feast and Famine
Mana Vault
Sword of Light and Shadow
Gauntlet of Power
Sword of Fire and Ice

FYI

Pack Foil Thalias are around $13-14 right now so you might not get much interest for the trades you are proposing.

I have some Islands I'd think about trading.  Send me a message.

bumping for visability.  Value it at approx $30.  Send me a message if you have one you want to get rid of!

Send me a message if you have the Steve Argyle one (lady riding a dragon) and want to get rid of it.  I am positive we can work something out.

Am I missing something?  Factories aren't any higher than $10 except for the Judge and winter normal ones.

I have a bunch...I'll look tonight and let you know what I have

In the past, Sebi has declined users who offered to help for free as moderators, and is one of the reasons that there is a current Premium option.

Steve Argyle is doing pre-orders for alters at GP Albuquerque and I would like to order some, but I cannot attend to pick them up.  I am hoping someone on Deckbox can help me out by picking them up and shipping them to me.  We can discuss compensation in a trade dialog.  Since Steve has a dual line system, picking up the cards shouldn't be part of the signature line so it shouldn't take much time.

Can anybody help?

I also see a lot of users complaining a 3.99$ monthly membership is too much, but wanting to trade more than 250$ worth of cards AT THE SAME TIME on deckbox, while also receiving the benefit of administrator moderation, support, and everything else.

There is a difference between spending $50 a year for features people may not want or use and trading cards you no longer want or need.  There are many other sites that do trading and the experience is the same for trading.  You can open a box of Standard right now and pull a card worth more than $250 that you may not want or need.

Would it also limit people doing many low value trades at once ? Like 10 or so 2-15 dollar trades ?

Well, the thing is, if you only do low value trades, and you have less than 250$ in many months, do you really want to at once start doing 250$ worth of trades at the same time suddenly?

The restriction would just be for all the trades that you have open at the same time where the other person did not yet receive the cards. So for the cards you promised and are "in transit".

Again, many people use your site to trade cards that they just opened that they don't want.  Many casual players decide to start playing in FNMs or GPs everyday and they learn that their collection can be organized and traded easily with this site.  I can definitely see someone randomly trading a high value card or cards because they are going to a GP and need to make a deck or they just opened something they don't want and want to get the most value out of it.

I really don't care for the initial proposal.  I am very picky about the trades that I do (and I am a collector so I keep a lot of stuff) so I have been on the site for 2 years and only have 13 trades.

3 of those trades were purchases before the marketplace existed so I have a 0 value trade for them.  My most recent trade was a Portuguese box of Rise of the Eldrazi for some duals and other cards.  That was a $250 trade, but it shows zero on my side.  Plus I have a number of trades where the value has significantly decreased from what I sent them as (standard stuff mostly).  If you were to add everything as it happened it should be well over $800 in trades/purchases for those 13 positive reviews I have.

The value shows as ~$280.  I feel that I would be negatively impacted by this.

Also with the proposal, a level 1 user wouldn't have been able to trade their prerelease foil Narset for a bunch of standard cards.

And finally I can remember a lot of users with high rep scamming (or at least providing poor trading experience) people back when the disputes were in an open forum.  I give the benefit of the doubt to larger users and I always offer to send first, but I am just as concerned with being ripped by a high rep (>20) vs a lower rep (5-20).

I believe you have to have a sellers account to sell on this site.

I don't know that this belongs on the trading forum...

There are a couple of other specifics, but lets talk first.

Thanks, I've run an eBay side business for almost 10 years.  I'm quite aware of how it works.

You magically not including shipping or something?  Cause they don't ship for free.  You need to take the entire cost into account.  Last 15 sales, buy it now including shipping and throwing out ones with dice or accepted offers since I can't see the price: 

21.98
17.50

24.95

Average $19.51  Hope that helps.

Well that is weird because the last 15 sales I see are

17.5
18
17.99
21.98
17.5

15.49
18.65

Average = 17.70

Add in the 13% eBay fees and you get about $15.5 per pack

"I'd be interested in them for closer to what they actually sell for ~15-17 on eBay."

That's not what they actually sell for.  Sure there may be a few people wanting to move them fast, but that's by no means the going price.  If that's the case I'd be trading against low TCG price.  See how that works?  So yeah, I'm not interested in trading for what the absolutely lowest price that's been sold on eBay.  The average selling price in the last few weeks has been in $20 range.  I know because this I sell them on eBay too.  So an extra $5 for trade seems perfectly reasonable.

Just so you know, you can look at recent completed sales on eBay and they are averaging about $17.  There have only been 16 completed sales out of 117 since November 1 that have been 19.99 or greater and half of those have included dice, fat pack box, etc.

Looking for somebody(s) who wants any of the following

2x Deathmist Raptor
Overgrown Tomb (RTR)
Ichorid - I would rate it as damaged because it looks like it has a thumb press on the top, but other than that it is in good condition.  I can take pictures if necessary.
