Hup!

Hup!

I was really sad when I first learned of your reasoning for counting out of Canadian traders Vincentarasin.  I had visited your profile at least a half dozen times before with potential trades in mind, only to see the message on your profile (Even right now there's a huge trade opportunity, lol). sad

I did end up coming across a previous thread that discussed this sort of issue, where I learned about why you felt that you had to stop allowing trades to Canada, and I can understand it.  No one likes trades going missing, no matter how few trades it may be.  One trade going missing is too many. sad

Afternoon bump!

Tracking alone to canada costs $10-$15... hmm

This is the one thing that kills me in trading between the two countries.  I've had half a dozen trades into USA that I've wanted to put tracking on because of their value, but the tracking plus insurance works out to around $15.  Even on a $100 trade it's just too much, which is ridiculous.

In regards to others having issues with shipping times:  It's terribly unfortunate that those shipping times have been so long.  I guess I've been fortunate enough to not have any of my trades going to, or coming from America take longer than 2 weeks.

This community has been pretty dead, so I thought to cross post my reddit community trading thread in hopes of drumming up some trades!

This is my first go at selling a few cards, so I'd like to try and keep it to the list below.

I understand that some may disagree with my pricing, and that is fine. 
If you disagree with my pricing, please do not feel the need to post saying so. 
I respect your opinion on pricing, as I trust that you would respect mine.  Thank you! big_smile

  • All cards are NM/NM- unless specifically noted otherwise.

  • All prices are approximately halfway between TCG mid and TCG low, rounded to the nearest dollar.

  • Payment will be accepted through paypal under goods and services.

  • I live in Canada and mainly conduct trades going in to USA with zero postal issues over the time that I have been trading on deckbox.

  • I will ship to Canada and USA.

  • Any sales will be provided with free shipping, but I am unable to offer tracking for free.

  • If you wish to have tracking on the sale, I request that you be willing to pay for it.  If you do, I will provide insurance.

  • Prices are not final, and open to some negotiation.  If you wish to negotiate, open a trade and give me an offer.  I like working things out!

  • Alternatively, I am open to trading these for some of my prime EDH/Theros Standard wants.

The cards that I have for sale are as follow:

Morningtide Mutavault x4  $19 each, or $65 for the playset.
Lorwyn Cryptic Command x1 $24
Shards of Alara Elspeth, Knight-Errant x2 $22 each, or $40 for the pair
Innistrad Liliana of the Veil x2 $39 each, or $72 for the pair


I am also looking for a few things for my EDH deck.  I am in need of:

Birds of Paradise x1 (M11 buy a box foil)
Bladewing the Risen x1 (FTV Dragons)
Artifact Mutation x1 (Invasion)
Demonic Tutor x1 (Divine vs Demonic Duel Deck or Unlimited, DD version preferred)
Ambition's Cost x1 (8th edition, foil preferred)
Void x1 (Invasion)
Scroll Rack x1 (Tempest or Commander's Arsenel)
Sylvan Library x1 (Legends or Commander's Arsenel)
Sarkhan Vol x1 (Shards of Alara)
Dormant Volcano x1 (Visions)
Command Tower x1 (Commander's Arsenel)
Fire-Lit Thicket x1 (Shadowmoor)
Graven Cairns x1 (Future Sight, Shadowmoor, Future Sight preferred)
Maze of Ith x1 (The Dark or FTV: Realms, either is awesome)
Kozilek, Butcher of Truth x1 (Rise of the Eldrazi)
Dragonmaster Outcast x1 (Worldwake)

Other deck needs:

Jace, Architect of Thought x2 (Return to Ravnica)
Chandra, Pyromaster x3 (Magic 2014)
Deathrite Shaman x4 (Return to Ravnica)

As always, thank you for taking the time to check out my thread, and feel free to open a trade with me to discuss a possible trade or sale!

Have a great day folks, and happy trading!

How expensive is it, generally, when you ship to Canada?  I have yet to break $2 in postage for a single trade going in to USA.  Is it in how it's wrapped that bumps up the cost?  Also (and perhaps most mind bogglingly), why do you need to fill out a customs form?  I've never had to do that for a USA trade.

Were you using a plain white envelope for the trade, or a bubble mailer?  I've noticed that most trades between the two countries can get away with the ol' PWE and a bit of paper wrapping.

I've seen a significant increase of traders in this community who have on their profile that they flat out refuse to trade to Canada.  I'm curious as to why. 

Why have you decided to lock out Canadian traders?  Did you have a bad trade experience with Canadian traders?  Were you advised to stick to America?  Do you disagree with the postal cost?

I'm not posting this out of anger, mainly curiosity, but with a slight frustration. I have personally found most of my trade business through here, and most of the traders coming from various places within USA.  I have yet to have a trade issue to arise in dealing with an American trader, and I do know that, if an issue were to pop up, I would deal with it as reasonably as possible to ensure that both parties are satisfied.

I know this won't apply to many who frequent this community since they do trade in to Canada, but I'm interested to hear from those who don't. smile

Last couple of times that I've gone looking for a place to buy online, I've gone to face to face's website.  Their prices are relatively close to scg, but sometimes cheaper... outside of that, I've yet to find a website that gives cheap singles prices.  Your best bet for singles would be to go somewhere like Stronghold for what you need.

Hup!

Sent you a trade.  The ones I have that you're looking for are bulk rares, so I'd like to work something out and just include them on the side as throw ins.

Late night bump!

Evening bump!

Opened a discussion with you. smile

Started a trade. smile

Hup!

Morning bump!

Sent you a trade, though sadly not for things that you're immediately looking for. sad

I don't have what you're specifically looking for, but I shot you a trade for some other stuff on your wishlist. Take a look when you have a sec. smile

Hup!

If you can't perform all steps of the trade yourself - pulling the cards, giving accurate information on condition, print out a paypal shipping label, mail the cards yourself - you shouldn't be trading online.  I've found that asking for pictures of cards involved in trades is a great way to screen out people who aren't likely to be able to mail something.

  I guess I shouldn't be trading online, then. tongue
I don't use paypal shipping labels... granted, I am living in Canada, and I'm realizing more and more that everything favors America and gives Canada a big ol' middle finger, I still try my best to make sure that everything is safely shipped, and that any issues that arise from my trading partner are dealt with in a timely and satisfactory manner for both parties.

I have to disagree with the asking of pictures of cards, though.  Just because someone can't take a picture of a card shouldn't prevent them from being able to mail something.  I don't own a scanner myself (no access to a decent digital camera, either), but I do scrutinize cards that go into trades to make sure that any discrepancy is noted and, if the condition turns out to be something other than what is listed, I do notify my potential trading partner in case it's a potential issue so it can be resolved.

Afternoon bump!
