Sebi - is there anything that can be done about the 0 in feedback? I mean its not the end of the world if it has to remain as such but it kinda of sucks that I have this 1 bad reputation point for doing nothing wrong in trying to get the trade completed...

I could be interested. What do you value it at?

Thank you very much for the for the clarification and "official" final word

Sorry for not being that responsive to suggestions, its been a fairly busy weekend for me.

His reputation was 9/9 out trades completed in the last 2 months prior to ours and he had posted a topic on this group that I responded to. Seeing as he was somewhat new, is why I asked to use DC and tracking in the first place. Ive also been in contact with a previous trader that Ive done business who had a similiar issue with cards not being delivered effectively so this could be a some kinda of scam. Although faking tracking would be a very clever trick. 

Honestly, getting cash for the cards would be the final option I would go with below, getting the cards back or getting trade value in return. If I wanted cash for them, I would have just sold them on ebay. Alot faster and safer. Its more the principle. No one ever said that trading via mail was 100% fault proof and I understand that but I have always understood that if I want to keep a good reputation as a safe and friendly trader, I would take my losses where I have to and make sure the other person is satisfied with the deal when completed. Again Im not blaming him for the loss of the cards because he did provide proof they were sent, but that still shouldnt change the fact that Ive never recieved them and he recieved mine 4 days after I sent and its been 2 months since he sent. IF they ever do show, I have no problem either giving back the cash credited to me or the value in compensation.

I appreciate the reponses.

I haven't physically been to the post office but I've called and spoken to both post offices in my area as well as the USPS customer service and it hasn't turned up. The tracking only shows that it left CA and they have no idea where went from there.

To be clear i wasnt asking for the current value of the fetches (which would be around 45) just the original 30. I was just under the assumption that even if the mail was lost I would still send value equal the original trade espically if I recieved theirs and they didn't receive mine. I just didn't think it was fair that I would be taking that big a loss when I never recieved anything at all and would be basically taking half of what I traded for. I understand taking some loss but I don't see why I should take more of the loss.

This is really the first time I've had this kind of problem which is why I asked for suggestions. Im not trying to be a pain in the ass with what I think I deserve in compensation. I just want a better understanding as to why 15 would be fair. If people agree that 15 is fair than the majority wins and ill gladly accept that. I am great full he's willing to send anything but just appreciate some clarification

First off, B-E-A-UTIFUL work with getting this up and running! Ive enjoyed using it thus far. I can't wait for the next wave of updates because they sound like they will make this app even more awesome than it already is

Also great work on your Life Counter App. Ive been using that one for a while and its my go to App for all Magic related Fun!

I took am interested in the foil thragtusk. Let me know if we can work something out

Ingenious idea. Im not sure why I didnt think of this in the first place. Sign me up

I was rather surprised that I had offers literally 30 seconds after I posted this. Im waiting to see what gets accepted but right now the Gaea's Cradle, 2 Wastelands, Phyrexian Tower are being negotiated as is the Izzet Dice.

I still have the Golgari Dice as well as the boxes/checklist/letter for both. Ill update this when I know more.

@Fluke - is that Duel Deck Daze you have English?

Man if I would have known there was interest for the just the boxes and such I would picked through the trash for the ones people were throwing away.

That in mind, I have a Golgari and Izzet box with life counters, checklist and letters (no packs) if anybody else is interested. The Golgari one has rip on the 1 corner but the Izzet 1 is just like I got it from the pre release just as an FYI.

Offer sent

Honestly if I were you, I would start with Krenko for a couple reasons.

1. Goblins are fun to play!
2. Building a mono-color deck will really be easier to learn about the amount and types of mana you should be running in EDH. Since your only running 1 color you dont have to worry about making sure you have enough of the other color and how much you should be using.
3. Goblins are really easy to come by and most of them are cheap. There are very few of them that you shouldnt consider using at some point.
4. It will be faster to put together and run. Mono colored decks kinda run on Auto-pilot when playing them and for someone just starting to learn how the deck and the format works this isnt really a bad thing.

I also agree with Phrank about running just EDH staples. Should you run all of them? No. Should you run some? Probably. Do you have to run any? Nope. The one thing about this format that I love is that whenever Im building a deck, I always come across cards I have never heard of and Ive actually taken EDH "Staples" out of decks for random jank because it makes the deck more fun and unpredictable to play. I will never get tired of hearing " Wait that card does what?". This is a "One formats garbage is an EDH format treasure" format. Granted there are cards that are obviously better than others and others that just don't do anything in EDH all together (ie Surgical Extraction).

My advice to you with building Mono-red is to go crazy.Leave no stone unturned . A friend of mine has a Niv-Mizzet deck that is completely random. Everything from Coin-flipping to randomly destroying things even his own. He only runs blue for card draw.

I realize you didnt ask me but I just happened to see the question so I thought Id answer...
