offer sent for hellriders

3 Weeks is obviously very long. Here are a few anecdotes from me that I've had over many trades.

• 1 Trade was 2.5 MONTHS late. Envelope was postmarked from many months ago, nothing visibly damaged. Must have just gotten lost somewhere for a while, and then reappeared in the system

• 2 trades (out of 400+)  just got lost in the mail and never appeared (one I sent, and another someone else sent)

• One day, My downstairs neighbor accidentally got my mail and went away on vacation that day and didn't tell me until he got back. I thought it was weird that 3 envelopes I was expecting all went missing at the same time. I was worried the mail got lost that day, or stolen, until I finally figured it out when he got back.

• Most international trades take 5-11 days, for me

By around the third week, my suggestion is to work with the traders to try to figure out an alternative and send new cards. If/when the old cards do reappear later, then work out a new deal. I think 3 weeks is long enough to figure they're probably not coming.

Not much the post office can likely do unless they have tracking on them. I didn't get much help when I called them, but they did offer to fill out a report for "missing mail" if I felt like it was stolen.

Thanks all. Got a number of offers. I'll try to load all the cards into a "deck" today so people can see the other stuff, and I'll try to get back to everyone on trades later tonight/tomorrow. Glad to know some folks want this stuff

If the cards were delivered according to the DC, then wouldn't the most likely issue be that someone took them out of your mailbox? Or that they were delivered to a neighbor by mistake?

Not looking to thread-jack Velocizachtor. But once he/she gets his/her playset, I'm looking to trade for about 7 remaining Antiquities Urza lands, if anyone has some up for trade. I've got just over half of them, but still need a few more (trying to get one of each unique), as well as one of each AQ strip mine (have 2 of the 4).

it's bad form, but at the end of the day, this whole place only really works on the honor system. If I get my cards, I'm happy, and don't really care how much people spend on shipping. I tend to spend as little as possible most of the time because I do a lot of small trades, and I figure I'll take the chance that they get lost or damaged. done 191 trades now, and no issues for me with shipping. One shipment got lost on the way to me, but the sender send another. So 1 lost out of 382 mailed trades is good for me

any/all versions? I'll dig some up as well. Got a box of commons at home I haven't sorted through.

any update yet on this issue? Thanks!

Hold on to something. One deck, one card, something. Someday you (or your kids, or nephew) will want to play, and you'll wish you had something from your past. I sold it all 15 years ago (for pennies on the dollar), and wish I had at least one sol ring or hypnotic specter from my original collection.

I have both halves of the BFM if you need that.
