I believe Tolarian Academy is banned in EDH, I had it myself in a deck and it was pointed out to me...sucks I know.

For good reason...Nothing sucks more than having Academy turned into an artifact from Memnarch while Voltaic Key, Mind over Matter, Filigree Sages and/or Unwinding Clock already in play...

Neutral feedback can left at the discretion of the either party. Its not something that needs to get approved or denied in order to be left and has no bearing on your overall feedback score. If the other user did not use tracking to when sending the card and it was lost by the PO, then the blame shouldnt really fall on you for the card being lost.

Are you willing to ship to the US? I dont have whole lot of what your wants but I have a few and I could def be interested in the Foil Athreos smile

Sure, could we maybe work something out for Athreos?

I have a godsend. What do you need for Naya aside from rith?

The issue with needing reasons to leave neutral feedback is that those "reasons" could or would overlap with the same "reasons" to leave Negative feedback. Not saying that some guidelines for neutral feedback wouldnt help but it might convolute the difference between leaving negative and leaving neutral.

Hey Nick,

1) I envy you.
2) $800 is a bargain.
3) Selling on DB outside of the market place is no longer allowed.
4) The High End Magic Facebook group would likely snatch these up in about 3 seconds.

That is all.

I second this...Espically No 1 and 2...

Its quite possible as well that the cards are being returned to you with improper postage. The PO can be very fickle at times with how postage is handled and often wont accept stamps on Bubble Mailers so it will be returned to sender. Granted this could just be my own loving state of NY being a PITA which why I only use stamps on reg envelopes. I would advise that for future trades, you pick a limit for which you'll send with tracking automatically and therefore have a fall back on how where the cards should they not arrive in a timely fashion.

As for this trade, if the cards havent been recieved by the end of the week, the options laid out by Kammikaze and AsymptmaticPyrexia are what you options are if you choose to continue with the completing the trade or just cancelling it.

I could be interested in the Foil Confluence. I have a non Foil I could trade back if your interested.

Are you interested in a Darksteel Foil SoFaI or just the MM version?

Id have to agree to hatter. I think as it stand its alittle over hyped right now and even if you compare it to the price of the other Gods, Foil Thassa (most played) is only 30 and Foil Xenagos (most expensive) is 35 so somewhere in between is where you can expect him to land around. I think anyway...Congrats on the pull tho!

Id be interested In atheros and the foil astral Cornacopia

Moved to General Discussion - Helios

To be honest either option is fine, it just depends on what your actually looking for. Once it rotates out of standard and RTR is no longer in print (which I think is true right now) it will only climb from where it is now after an initial drop and could follow a similiar path of Noble Heirarch or Stoneforge Mystic.

I have 2 temples of Silences Id trade for a Shrine

I saw your post title and thought for second that March for Babies was a card haha...

The reactions and egress of some were and are unavoidable.  Much like every sport team, there are observers, casual fans, committed fans, and fanatics.  In good times everybody is a fan of the team and goes to games (creating a spike), in bad times there is a lull.  While observers are appreciated and often most vocal when things go bad (in a negative way) they are always the first to leave and the last to join.  They are around for the fame but once you've gone from grace, gotten old, and are sick suddenly they never answer the phone when you need help.  (This is not a bad thing, it just is.  Everybody has done this before and will do it again.  I do not deride anybody for feeling or being this way.)  Things on deckbox will not be as quick and easy as before.  I, however, believe in the 'team' and am able to ride out this month long wait.  I will also still conduct trading do to my belief in the 'team'.

I cant help but feel as though your sports analogy also speaks to us true Buffalo Sabres fans as well...

A bit off topic revenue wise, but a few suggestions in addition to selling:

*Subscription service - Add some additional functionality for like a dollar a month.
*Donations - Put paypal donate button on my profile page. I would be happy to support deckbox, but I don't see the option.

I would like to say that I have fully appreciated every little detail that the deckbox team has put into this site, all for free.  For now yes, it seems that the prices are not working, but I have full confidence that the deckbox team will get it up and running as quickly as possible.  There are a couple of points that I fully agree with that people are making as well.

1.  Tjdrake and others have suggested several options to help you through this funk while the revenue stream is low.  No, they would not sustain the website, but I think it would provide some relief for your team while you are working on the new pricing.
2.  Several people mentioned using mtgprice as a good price reference, I agree, I have been using their site for quite some time and they are quite good.
3.  As much as it pains me to say, I think the market function should be put on hold until the pricing can be figured out, but I would not get rid of it.  Not only is it a revenue stream for the deckbox team, it is an excellent addition to deckbox for anyone selling/buying and doesn't harm the people who don't use it. 
4.  Please Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help, aside from donating 1 billion dollars (sorry I do not have)

I have full confidence in you Sebi and team, keep up the good work!

Cheers!
Byron (gnp)

I whole heartedly agree to this.

@Jassi007 - I wont disagree that the choice of Amazon was not the best but in retrospect, it was probably the most reputable source Sebi could have gone with TCG no longer an option and on such short notice. To be fair, TCG could have done this at anytime, granted the market place could have pushed the situation to what it is now, but its a process of transition that would have had to take place eventually anyway.

No, a valid reaction is " Im going to hold off trading/selling for the moment until this gets fixed to an acceptable level". Saying the site is "nearly unusable" is overreactive to the everything else deckbox does that those MANY other forums do not.
