Ive slowly buying up all the Black Ultra Pro Matted sleeves to use for my Cube and EDH decks. While not all foils look good in them because of the "foggy" case, they have so far been the most durable and smoothest sleeves Ive used. I think Ive maybe broken like 5-6 out of some 700 sleeves I use pretty heavily. They also dont slide around alot when shuffling when they are newly sleeved as well. So far the only complaint I have is that sometimes the whole pack of sleeves are cut wider even tho they are the exact same and appropriately marked.

Sebi,

You and the other members of the Deckbox team have done a great job restructuring the trading practices and guidelines to make it easier and safer to resolve disputes.

My main point regarding all of this is that people need to understand that this model of trading online is how it works any where else you might try and trade, be MTGSalvation or MOTL. These are the sites that are considered to be stable and reliable places to discuss trades and complete deals. Its pretty much been proven that how the system was before wasnt really working because there really was no structure in how to handle a dispute. As you said it was very "behind the scenes", with emails that no one aside from the affected parties and Mods would see. So people would be willing trading with people that were actually scamming others.

There are couple suggestions that I would make that I know exist else where to help in the processes.

1. I dont know if its actually possible to actually block a person's trading ability, but thats something that should be done. If you are the person who has OPEN BTR against you, you shouldnt be able to make a trade at all, almost locking their profile. Im not sure if it was just something missed in the case that started this discussion but ieatburritos didnt have any notice on their profile and even attempted to setup a new deal for a new one. 

2. Restrict the BTR to just those who are involved in it directly ie. The accused, accuser and a mod. Thats it. Sure people are allowed their opinions but when people start posting in a BTR that they have never traded with either party involved or have their own issue, it only starts to make a problem bigger and clouding judgement on those who should be making the decisions. I know I myself am guilty of doing this but it was more to make a point in general than to share my opinion about the open case. Perhaps it would be a good idea to include a poll in some cases where people can anonymously vote on a possible verdict if people want to have a the judge and jury type scenario but that might only serve to lengthen the process of closing the case.

3. Something to consider in the future could be "marks" or "infractions" for people instead of just the straight Postive/Negative feedback. Just 1 Negative Feedback effectively brands you a bad trader and puts a mark on you that cannot remove. These would only remain noted on a profile temporarily and as long a person doesnt accrue more they could be removed and a person's reputation wouldnt suffer. This is probably something that would need alot more fine tuning and restructuring in and of itself but just throwing the idea out.

True enough, but even in Court and the defendant willing admits to killing someone, they dont just put them in Jail and throw away the key. They still go through the processes (albeit faster than if he denied it) before the case is closed.

Also Im just saying this all as a general statement to everyone who has an issue with how BTRs are handled not just you. Ive seen alot of posts about it recently so Im just making a point.

I wish I had the cash for Goyf for my Cube

Oh well...

I actually forwarded imsully this post since he's not part of the group wouldn't have known about it otherwise. I know that he was having issues in the past with his Internet and college during the last few months and while its not all entirely excusable just thought he should be made aware of any lingering issues he might no fully be aware off.

I just want to point out tho that DC and Tracking are not always updated properly by the Post office. Ive had packages not show any "progress" until a someone marks them as received and then the progress shows it was just delivered. Ive actually talked to people at the Post office when I trying to resolve the location of some of my stuff and they told me that unless its insured over a certain value, they are not required to update the progress on the website.

I could so something like that except I only have 1 blind obedience to go along with the ghost dad 2.0

Interested in the Foil Assemble the legion and the Thesbian Stage. Let me know if you see anything my list

I'd be interested in the foil Lazav. Let me know if you see anything of mine

Honestly I dont see it dropping alot anytime in the near future. Perhaps he might come down alittle to something like 90-85. Even tho hes only played (heavily) in Legacy, its one of a few cards that put it self on the Reserved List due to is power level and will more than likely never see a reprint baring a Judge Promo, so he does hold alot of value for collectors and legacy player alike. Not to mention, he could very well come off the Ban list in a future unbanning.

I'm interested as well.

I could use a FTV Gifts for my cube. Check out my stuff and see let me know if you want to work something out.
