shifty4690 is correct.  The top loaders make the envelope ridged (non-machinable).  That's why you are required to add the extra 20¢.  It is not up to their discretion.  They often don't catch it (or they are just too lazy to care).  I've had many things come postage due, and I've also have them returned.  Depending on how much you owe, you might even have to goto the post office to get the item.  Point is, you shouldn't really be cheap about it.  It's fricking 20¢, if you can't afford that much extra.  You shouldn't be playing magic in the first place.

It goes like this:

(Regular envelope with top loader and less than 1/4 thick.)
1 ounce : 66¢
2 ounces : 86¢
3 ounces : $1.06
4 ounces : becomes large envelope rate which I don't remember exactly, but around $1.50

USPS is terrible about paying attention to the weight of items.  MANY ebay sellers under value shipping because they almost never get caught and that equals more money for them.  Pretty crappy, and people wonder why USPS keeps going up and up.  Probably the same people that use priority boxes inside of brown paper and the like (which is actually a felony.  You're stealing from the USPS)

Im taking offers as well!

There's always Paypal gift payments (cost zero as long as its a bank to bank payment).  The buyer still has basically no recourse as far as Paypal is concerned.  But at least they will have proof that a transaction occurred.

Yes,  good job at reading.  I said "unless you're doing a high volume of sales which add up".

Please have some sort of proof where you are trying to justify your "retail price" All you did is avoid the question by saying that TCG mid is not retail.  Okay, how about we take all the big name sellers from TCG (2k + sales) and average their selling price for VoR.  Would you consider that retail?  Because it's still looking to be more than $50

I apologize that this thread has been completely turned into a debate.  Who ever thought selling a few trading cards would upset someone.

If anyone has cards plus + cash that they'd like to offer.  Please feel free to me up via trade or email.  I'm almost always looking for sets of shock land and Deathrite Shamans! I have a few things on my wishlist too, although it's hardly complete.

lol you must be checking auction prices.  Sorry I didn't clarify.  Only morons sell using eBay's auction  (unless you're doing a high volume of sales which add up). I was talking about how much you can buy one right now for.  Guess what? Auctions aren't right now. It might take you a while to win at the price you want.  Compare apples to apples.  Feel free to go back and check for buy in now prices.  You typically lose 10-35% of "retail value"  buy auctioning.   Last I checked, isn't TCG mid "retail" price? The price that's $12+ more than I'm asking.  Locally, the card stores i goto all have them in the $50's.  Please let me know which retail store is selling them for $40.

Not argue with you, but there are zero on ebay for $38 (how about you do an average selling price for the last 7 days and report back). Sure, occasionally an idiot will post one for a lot less.  But they are probably hard for cash or something. It's not the norm.  Pricing and availability is always fluctuating there.  I have had a successful eBay business for more than 3 years (nothing to do with MTG) so I know very well how things work on ebay.  Asking less than what is typical is hardly delusional.  I could be asking $45 +shipping and I would still be in line with many sellers.  but jeez, if I did that here.  People would flip the F out like I was trying to rob them.
