I also wish people could update the details on cards alittle bit (ie EDITION, FOIL, CONDITION) alittle bit. Conditon is a kinda biased thing because 1 person's NM could be someone else's SP so thats fine but I cant tell you how many times I was looking for a specific edition of card and when I inquire about it in a trade to someone, its not the right edition Im interested in lol. I dont expect people to redo there entire inventory but I will say it definitely a makes moving a card easier.

I try to respond to everyone that starts a trade with me, at least within a day or so and if I cancel a trade I always try to give a reason (no wishlist at the moment, trading on hold til new set comes out, etc.). Now, there are sometimes when I think people are being a bit... I don't even know the word for it. One of things I hate the most is when a new trade shows up in my list, I take a look at it and the person wants a bunch of Legacy cards or costly EDH staples, let's say it totals $80, and when I go to checkout their list, the most expensive cards they're showing for trade are couple Hellriders and one Loxodon Smiter.
That's ignorant. I don't want 15 Champion of the Parish for a Force of Will or LED... not now, not ever.
Amen to this.
I think the word your looking for is "unrealistic"

Get this man a drink...
Ive run into the same situation before and it annoys me to no end just having a trade cancelled for no reason. The same goes for proposing a trade without saying anything. In that case, if its something Id want, I tend to over look it but, but it really annoys me when I just no responses from people or even a hey how ya doing I was interested in this or that.
I mean you dont walk up to someone with an open trade binder and just point to their Sacred Foundry with your Stomping Ground and grunt and groan til you get their attention. Were not cavemen (well unless your like the Geico Caveman)
Something Ive come to find tho is, more often then no, people like to look at lists and see what people have OTHER than what they may have posted in a thread or discussion. Its good if you have something on their wishlists but I know in my case (since I have this addiction to janky foils) I might be more interested in something else then what was originally offered.
Usually before I even offer a trade, I look through their list and throw up any cards they have that Id be interested and just leave my side blank. If there is something I know they were actually looking for Ill include that but Ill leave my side blank to give people a chance to see if there was anything. And I usually propose the trade and leave message. Im pretty good about checking if they read my message so if after a few days I get nothing, I just cancel the trade and move on. Im not going to waste my time or potientally tie up a card just cause of the chance to get something.
I just really wish sometimes people were alittle bit more personal-able but I guess thats just me having high expectations.

Re: magic websites (10 replies, posted in Rochester NY MTG)
You pretty much hit all the major ones
channelfireball.com
gamingetc.com
magiccards.info (aka Oracle) just uses tcgplayer prices but its often easier to search for cards than some websites searches.

I think they only get removed if the details of what your trading for matches the details of whats in your wishlist. Ive noticed that too when I receive the cards I trade for

Topic: W: Boros EDH Foils H: Stuff (8 replies, posted in Trading Post)
So Ive come pretty close to completely foiling out my Jor Kadeen EDH deck. Its the deck I enjoy playing the most and was the first deck to really get me hooked into EDH so its the only deck I feel deserves the "PIMP" status among my others. Im interested in other stuff as well, but trades involving these cards below will usually get priority over which cards will go where in trades. Im also not opposed to trading the non-foil version back in return plus value or some kinda of card/paypal deal as long as its not too outrageous . Help me complete my mission!
Need: (Foil)
Weathered Wayfarer
Enlightened Tutor
Sol Ring (FTV)
Lightning Greaves (Promo or Mirridon)
Loxodon Warhammer
Inkmoth Nexus
Kher Keep
Rugged Praire
Have:
Wooded Foothills
Marsh Flats
Snapcaster Mage
Noble Heirarch
Sylvan Library
Non-Foils of whats listed above
Plus more
I also have an oversized Gisela as well as some of the Oversized Foil Commanders from the precons I wouldnt mind parting with
so go head and check out my list
***IF anyone does have any of these but you dont see anything from my stuff, let me know and point me to your wishlist. There is a good chance I might be able to trade for stuff around my area and Im willing to do some extra work to get ahold of these

Re: PSA: TRADING BETWEEN US AND CANADA (42 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)
Ive only done a handful of trades with Canada and honestly I havent had any issue, with one exception being that I had put the wrong postage on and it was returned to me. I think the issue is mainly is the extra effort that is required to actually ship to Canada because you cant use PayPal Shipping (which alot of people use) OR more often than not you actually have to physically go to a Post office to get the correct postage as opposed to just putting a stamp on a package and dropping it on your way somewhere.
I know I personally have to plan accordingly to try and make to a Post office before it closes to send out to Canada because I work the same business hours as they are open. Its not a huge deal but its just something extra I need to make sure I can do to get the trade out in time.
There is also the risk of Customs just ripping open your package and losing/damaging the contents. Ive never experienced this but I heard first hand about it happening so that is also a legit concern.
I live fairly close to the border of Canada (Buffalo NY - GO SABRES) and that might be why my transactions with the Great White North have been flawless.
