Bump!

Added some new cards and removed ones that I traded for. If anyone manages to come up with some of the more expensive cards (Tundra, Scrubland, Guardian Beast, etc.) then I can dip into my Inventory for trades, but I'm not willing to go that route for the sub $20 cards. Thanks!

Good idea. I had to take my Lion's Eye Diamonds (and a pile of other things) out of my trade list, because anytime I posted on here asking for Standard trades, I would get besieged with trade requests that included all my most expensive Vintage cards.

I have a foil Omniscience. If you want to let me know what you value it at, I'll look for something(s) in your trade list and we can work something out.

Until now. Delivery confirmation... it's worth the money.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "untampered." I sort of thought that everyone, by now, was well aware that you could see through the wrapper of old set booster packs. Look at your Revised booster, see that strip of white across the top? That lines up almost perfectly with the card names inside. If memory serves me, the rare is the 3rd card from the top so just use a fingernail to pull down the first two inside, press the wrapper firmly up against the card and see what you got.

Odds are someone already did this before selling them to you.

Friends and I use to go to the mall, head to Toys R Us and snoop every booster in the box on the counter. What sucks is, we were far less interested in dual lands and always looking for that coveted Shivan Dragon.

To me, this is a bit worrisome due to the following... Upon looking at Ichorclaw's profile there is absolutely NOTHING that jumps out at me as any sort of indicator of bad or even "iffy" trading history. All I see is "Feedback:+37 out of 38 completed mail trades" and the fact that he changed his status to read, "Family issues, no longer trading." I think this really illustrates that fact that we need to migrate towards a more detailed feedback system, one that's not just a simple top-level +/-1.

There should be ratings for how prompt someone is at sending out their cards, with a 5-star being the same/next day and a 1-star being a week later or... never.
There should be ratings for packaging, with a 5-star being in top-loaders in a bubble mailer and a 1-star being in a zip lock bag inside a regular envelop.
There should be ratings for communication, with 5-stars as all pertinent info provided and questions answered and 1-star being that you agreed on a trade then didn't hear from the guy again for 2-weeks.

These are the things I want to know when potentially trading with someone.

People need to get rolling on their mail fraud reports. From everything I've read in this post, it seems like the dude in question has plenty of time to set up trades and converse on the front end of trades, then he flakes out on sending his cards and is spotty with communication afterwards. If he isn't busted for mail fraud he's going to continue to do this to people and if he feels like he's taking too much heat on his current screen name, I'm sure he'll have no problem creating a new one under a different email address to do the same shit over and over.

Report him.

You all have his address. Do something about it.

I feel like everyone is constantly trying to pay the cheapest shipping they can get away with. The USPS loses shit, they know this and that's why they offer INSURANCE... you know, that stuff that should really be called, "in case shit happens." When I do trades on here, I pay for insurance. I typically do it for about 125-150% of the value of the cards I'm sending so, if shit happens, I'll come out ahead.

It would have cost about $1.50 for insurance on those $30 in cards. Maybe think about it next time.
