Yup, still available, payment preferred via Paypal.
Shipping price to the US?
Let me know your ZIP code and I'll get you a quote, but probably around $10.

That's right, all 143 cards, including both versions of any card that has multiple artworks! Exile, Helm of Obedience, Kaysa, Kjeldoran Outpost, Lake of the Dead, Phelddagrif, Phyrexian Devourer, Pyrokinesis, Shield Sphere, Soldevi Excavations, Thawing Glaciers, and all the rest!
SCG puts a full set at $120, but since there's no FOW in this one, you can take the whole thing for just $40 (plus shipping from Canada, it's a big box). If you're a Commander player, there's no better deal out there.
Keep those offers coming, everyone.
Thanks everyone, not much left now.
Man Vincent you really need to calm down.
I don't think anyone is saying the risk isn't higher when you go through multiple mail systems, but it doesn't go up as high as you think it does.
Let's say you have a 5% chance of your mail being lost in the US postal service, another 5% of it being lost in Canada, and just for argument's sake, another 5% in customs. So for each one you have a 95% chance of your mail making it through, and it has to make it through all three systems in one go. That means the chances of your mail getting lost is
1 - (.95 * .95 * .95) = 14.3%
Not great odds, and you'd probably never take this chance. But that implies that on average, 1 out of every 20 letters goes missing. You yourself only lost 3 out of 185 packages, which is only 1.5%. That makes the chances
1 - (.985 * .985 * .985) = 4.4%
Now, we can argue about the relative success rates of our various postal services but it sounds like that's not the point. You originally said that you don't like shipping without tracking, and I think people were questioning whether tracking a package changes the probabilities above.
Listen to Paul_K up there, he knows what he's talking about. All my local postal workers know me and know that I'm always mailing cardboard and that every envelope should be weighed and checked. No way would I ever just slap a stamp on an envelope and throw it in a mailbox.
Really?? Bubble-mailer in Canada is considered lettermail if the weight of its contents are less than 30 grams (about 5-6 cards sandwiched between 2 top loaders is normally right on 30g). If it's lettermail, no custom forms required, you just need to use two stamps instead of one, so total cost is $2.10 + the bubble mailer. If it's more than 30 grams it's considered a Parcel, then it requires customs forms and a couple extra bucks.
Their shipping system isn't the same as ours.
Over 200 successful trades with the US here.
What are these "international stamps" you speak of? The last time I shipped to Canada it was a bubble mailer and when they rang it up it was $5 and some change.
And the last time I tried to send an envelope they wouldn't let me because the envelope was too small to put the customs form on. But you are telling me I can buy bigger envelopes and put a $1 stamp on it and be good?
I'm responding to this one because this highlights the biggest problem of shipping from the US to Canada; the variance. From what I've determined as a receiver, there is FAR less oversight and consistency than the USPS actually suggests. Sometimes you can put $0.80 on a bubble mailer and be fine, sometimes you have to put $7 on a PWE.
The postage required is determined by the size/weight/thickness of the package. A plain envelope with singles in it can ship as regular mail, but if you stack your cards in one thick pile, or have too many in the envelope, the extra dimensions bump the postage up to a small parcel, which does add significantly. I recommend just biting the bullet and going directly to a post office; yes, it's annoying, but surely a bit of effort is worth having hundreds of new people to trade with.
In general, you won't have to fill out a customs form unless you're sending a parcel, and using a bubble mailer is the easiest way for them to identify that.
Done to under 1000 cards left, great job everyone!
Monday morning bump
Bump, keep this stuff moving everyone! Great offers lately!
Another bump to the top, a few new things in.
I'm looking for between the TCGPlayer median and low price, depending on the size of the sale and cards there-in. The more you're interested in, the better of a deal you'll get!
Well I bought a box of Gatecrash and got a lot of good things that I was looking for and some good trade stock. I think I came out ahead a little and ended up with about $150 in value.
What on earth did you open that you got more than the box's value?
Not even lying, I just discovered my Karakas is a fake so I need a new one. 
Starting up a chat.
Here are all of your possible Bant Commanders:
Angus Mackenzie
Arcades Sabboth
Jenara, Asura of War
Phelddagrif
Rafiq of the Many
Ragnar
Rubinia Soulsinger
Treva, the Renewer
Rubinia or Treva seem like the best fits?
Help me get rid of the last of my paper cards!
http://deckbox.org/sets/47425?s=j&o=d
A few things:
- I am ONLY looking for cash (Paypal), not trades, not MTGO tix.
- I am ONLY selling the stuff in my tradelist. I am NOT selling the stuff in my inventory.
- Shipping is from Canada.
Final bump, no more trades, sales only.
Just started up a trade.
Will definitly take tarns and strand off you, what's your price
I have explicitly marked them as not for trade, so $10,000.
Back to the top for Monday, big thanks to everyone who is helping me move this stuff, both big and small!
I'll take those two Reckoners at $15, starting up a trade.
Back to the top, everything updated.
Why not just spend that on the singles that you're hoping to open or trade for?
How about 2x Thundermaw Hellkites for a Thoughtseize?
