Doesn't First Class Forever Stamps bypass this?

First class forever stamps are good for machinable letters only.  Non machinable letters incur a 20c surcharge.

Is there a way to look at stuff on tcg that was actually SOLD? Because I feel there is no way in hell anyone is buying Tarns for $54 + shipping from tcg sellers. For all we know those have just been sitting at that price not being sold for weeks.

I believe Ebay completed listing are what you are looking for.  You can see the price that items which sold were sold for, as well as see the prices of items which did not sell.  Ebay is a buyer's market and buyers aren't going to spend more than they have to.

Do you have one?  I have a lot of fun stuff I could trade for one.  I'll trade for a 7th copy, I'll trade for a Xth copy.  Doesn't matter.  Thanks for looking!

I use Ebay completed listings to price any card >50 or so.  Some cards, such as dual lands, are grossly overpriced by retailers and sell for 60% retail cost on Ebay.  You can also check what cards are selling for on MOTL (the prices on that site are pretty close to Ebay completed listings).

I don't have what you're looking for, but check out the Reddit Trades thread:  http://deckbox.org/communities/reddit_mtg_trades

There is also a weekly MTG trade thread on Reddit which you can find here:

Good luck!

60% of TCGplayer mid only works for cards that aren't in high demand.  Fetches are a whole other story.  You could probably buy some for 80% of mid.  Good luck.

It sounds like the moral of the story is that everyone should use delivery confirmation and tracking to ship all cards they don't want to end up having to ship twice.  Saying that the 'package got lost in the mail' is one of the oldest and most foolproof scams online.  Don't give anyone the opportunity to scam you.  I've had several people claim not to have received cards I've sent them, only to have the cards miraculously appear shortly, as in an hour or two, after sending them the tracking number (or paypal shipping summary listing tracking number and addresses).


Here are a couple of trading guidelines I follow to keep things like this from happening to me:

1. Request pictures of valuable cards - I don't want NM cards showing up in SP or MP condition, also proves that the individual has the cards -- can do a tinyeye search if you're really paranoid.  Don't deal with people who don't send pictures.

2. Cancel the trade if the other person seems at all sketchy - completely subjective

3. Discuss and agree on a shipping method prior to accepting trade - I've canceled trades because they wouldn't send cards w/ tracking and refused to...

4. Have them send first if they don't want to use tracking - again, not going to send my cards out when the only guarantee they will arrive is that they marked them as sent.  If they don't arrive it is my word against theirs, and that is more trouble than I can be bothered to deal with.

5.  Insure the package if the trade is >$75 (costs a few bucks but sure beats loosing a couple hundred in the mail)

6. Always communicate with the trading partner.  This includes telling them why you are cancelling a trade, telling them that the cards arrived and are in the condition described, giving shipping updates, etc. 

I don't follow my own guidelines for all trades, I send a lot of PWEs all over too, but be sure to follow them every time when conducting large trades.  Haven't had any problems with large trades yet.  This might seem like a laundry list of things to do, but they aren't difficult and can save you a lot of hassle.  Good luck everyone.

Hey have foil prime speaker. And there is a few things you have I would want but I wanted to see if your interested in the foil oversize gisela?

Can't say I have a good use for oversized cards since they don't fit in my deck, but kudos to getting one of the foil ones.  I don't see much else in your list other than the Prime Speaker.  Thanks for your interest!

See anything for your Mana Reflection? I've got a bunch of smaller stuff on your wishlist and would add little premium in your favor since you'd be trading down

Interested in your Foil Ghostfire, for the novelty, but I don't see much else I'm actively looking for atm.  Still looking for EDH foils and the like.  Thanks for your interest!
