I think you're asking for a trade changelog / audit trail, which some other people have been asking for as well.  I could use one too!

Is it in good shape and going to be shipped on time, unlike what's in your bad trading thread?  http://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=36930

At some point in the future, can the condition icons be made more distinct?  Especially when looking at a big list of cards it's very hard to tell one star from another, and one shade of yellow from another.

Thanks!

opened a trade for some of those alpha cards.

Hey all, it finally happened.  I got scammed!!!    i guess after 250 positive trades I was due for a bad one. 

Note to all, if you trade with Hauki ask for scans of any cards.   He seems to think when you ask him the condition of the cards, he doesnt have to say anything because he 'marked the card', even though a simple 'no, one card is not NM' is the appropriate response.  And when you confront him about it, be ready for a completely remorseless attitude.

He didnt alert me to a cards HP condition which would have led to a request for scans and lowering of its value. To clarify, marking a card's condition does not change its listed value and is not always obvious, so we still have to take that into account when trading (and why we ask).  He only sharked me for a blood crypt so its not like I lost it all, but his response and attitude make it clear he knowingly did this and lead me to making this post about deceit.  Thankfully,  I had tracking on this package otherwise who knows what else might have happened. Honor and integrity are what keep this site great but not everyone keeps to those principles.   

I still look forward to trading with the rest of you.

So even though you were super picky on condition with me and a plateau a few months ago, you didn't ask for scans from this guy so you could start beating him down on value?  I agree that the quality rating system on here isn't all that clear, but especially when someone's trading way below value on something that should make you wonder what's going on.

That's the way I've always treated it.  If they want a specific printing, they need to ask or select someone who has set that attribute.

Now for the separate topic of people not understanding Chronicles or the difference between Unlimited/Revised/4th, that's a whole other can of worms...

I'd be interested, even trading a regular printing toward it.  Doesn't look like I have anything you really want though hmm

Can you sell boosters here? Like...put them in your inventory and people can trade for them and stuff?

You can't add to your inventory, but you could certainly put in your profile and start a thread in one of the trading forums.

Only if it took just the complete matches.  My wishlist is something like 2k foils, so when I view someone's profile it'll pull up many hundreds of cards showing all as "don't quite match your wants".

Back when I was doing bulk trades, it would have been a serious time-saver though.

and start adding things like:
+ Griselbrand
+ Ryusei, the Falling Star
+ Kokusho, the whatever Star
+ Dragon Mage
+ Demonic Tutor
+ Lightning Greaves
+ Swiftfoot Boots
+ Enlightened Tutor
+ Necropotence

Definitely the Kokusho.  Griselbrand is generally banned, so keep that in mind if you ever want to play with another playgroup.  If you do want to play with him, enjoy getting him into play and drawing a big chunk of your deck.

Bloodgift Demon and Phyrexian Arena are good for drawing cards as well.

I have been thinking about building a Kaalia deck too.

What constraints are you working under?  I would cut the urza's lands (too vulnerable), slumbering dragon & dragon hatchling, kingpin's pet, reiver demon, and some other stuff, but not sure what you'd want to replace them with.

I would like to get some shocks (preferably the gatecrash ones), innistrad checklands, regular ghost councils (I prefer regular cards to foils) or other standard cards. Offer em up and I'll think about it. smile

Your profile has a big note saying you aren't trading, is it just these 3 cards you're trading?

I've got a regular and I'd be interested at a more reasonable price. I'd trade him at 45 tops.

Same, TCG is 40-45 for him.  I have a regular printing and some random stuff in case you're interested.

The post office just charged me $9+ to mail 2oz to the UK, so that apparently went up as well.

A package within the US went up 22c, from 1.85 to 2.07.

Not sure how that will affect everyone printing the Paypal postage with DC, but that's what'll happen at the counter and the automatic machines.

I'd be interested as well.

I'm doing Dimir and Simic.  Boros was a close 3rd though.

Hopefully I can trade for the 3 promos and spindowns I don't get!

Yeah, the TCG API doesn't allow it.

Which is dumb because their collection tracker keeps track of foils you buy from their site, so they do have the data but just aren't willing to share it.

While we're talking token cards, the guys at MTGS went through and made a list of every token that can be generated, with scans where available:

I know I would love a set of Deckbox tokens, put it on Kickstarter or etsy or ebay or something!

Elf Warrior tokens for my Rhys deck?
