For those who are unlucky enough to lose cards, this does involve mailing things, and thereby should entail some sort of mail fraud and appropriate potential consequences. I don't know much about that, as I've thankfully never had to look into it; does anyone here know the basics?
That being said, please don't take this as a standing threat to anyone that would conduct any trades. This community is full of great people, and problems with trade[r]s are the vast minority.
Ah, gotcha. If it's this one, then it's the same as from the Wal-Mart packs. I've unfortunately snagged two Brions. I think I've only gotten 5 of those, as they had 2 packs of New Phyrexia in them for a while after they went out of print. The first time I got a Siege-Gang Commander, but that turned out to be the high point. I don't buy those anymore. =P
Promo: Brion Stoutarm
Sounds like someone lost the Wal-Mart promo/booster 3-pack lottery game. =P
PS: You mean THIS playmat? I guess you were specifically looking not to spend your dollars on it, but rather see if anyone else wanted to give you theirs. I don't blame you at all. Dollars are useful.
I wish you did. =P I took a look through your tradelist anyway, but I didn't really see much else I'd want. Sorry, maybe you and Mr. Wilkins can work something out.
=/ It has been dropping fast, according to the tcgplayer page. I think I'm gonna pawn this off at my LGS tomorrow if no one seems to be interested by then.
I don't really have a deck that requires one, and there are some other cards I'm looking for and would rather have, like a couple Tezzeret the Seekers and an Eldrazi Monument, among others.
Please feel free to check my trade-/wish-list to see if we can get something going.
Wow, that judge seems like a really awesome person. I've got a foil Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas that's just sitting in my binder; it'd be better if someone got some enjoyment out of it… even if it just goes into their collection binder. 
eBay's lowest buy-it-now auction is about $21, but I value it at 6 packs of Avacyn Restored: I live near Star City Games' brick and mortar store, and I was planning on selling it to them for store credit at their release party, so they'd give me 125% their buylist price of $15 = $18.25, which could be spent tax-free on 6 booster packs at $3 each.
I don't really see much in your tradelist that I need, and I generally just play Legacy-formatted decks casually with friends, so most of those would have a real value higher than Standard cards whose value would drop when they rotate out. Making trades like that are, in my opinion, inherently unfair to the person receiving the Standard cards. How would you feel about buying it via paypal for about $19 (as non-store credit purchases are not tax-exempt)?
Perfect! Thank you!
Well, I just did something dumb — I just completed a trade with user fluke2097, and when I attempted to respond him letting me know that he got the cards, I subconsciously decided the feedback explanation text input box was the appropriate place for a chat message. I did manage to get the feedback score right, though…. Is there any way you could fix this? I left the would-have-been-feedback message in the chat box, just in case, but if not, then the gist of the message is in there anyway. I'm sorry for making your life more difficult, and I'm sorry to fluke2097 for messing up your feedback message, and thank you Sebi for running an awesome site!
PS everyone trade with fluke2097 — best trader ever.
Sorry…. I looked through your trade binder to see if there was anything else I could use in my decks, but I didn't really see much of considerable priority. I hope you can find one soon!
I've also got Radiant's Dragoons, Viashino Heretic, Parch, Wheel of Torture, and a Silk Net.
I was incredulous when you said you actually pulled something useful from one of those Wal-Mart 3-packs, as I've only ever gotten foil lands, promo Brion Stoutarms, and once a high point of a Siege-Gang Commander. I decided to try my luck when I was buying groceries this morning… and the promo was a foil Leonin Skyhunter. However, The boosters themselves yielded a Karn Liberated, Birthing Pod, Beast Within, and a Foil Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas. So thanks, xmanii, for coercing me into making an excellent decision!
On a related note, anyone want a foil Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas?
Haha, if only deckbox supported upvoting...
edit: fixed a typo
Heh, actually, when I was searching for an image, I found out that they were also printed as promos for unglued. Also, I stumbled over this ebay auction for 9 of those and 9 goblin tokens (each Anthologies box set came with 3 of each) for relatively cheap. I've got 6 of them, and would gladly give up 4, but they're closer to Slightly Played than NM condition - they've been shuffled about in boxes for the past 15 years, so the edges are a little scuffed. I'll send you a trade request soon that won't include those, but I'd stick the value for at something like $2-3.
Hey, I have a few Pegasus tokens from the Anthologies box set from 1998 — they look like this.
Hey, I've got 3 Dazes I'd be happy to trade you. I'm looking through your tradelist now, so expect and offer soon. 
Edit: He's still looking for the Dazes.
Yo, sent you an offer. Again, using Star City Games' prices as a common reference (and assuming your cards aren't also foils), Maelstrom Pulse x2 at $13x2 = $26, Woodland Cemetery at $8 ($34 thus far), Parallel Lives at $2.50 ($36.50), and Megrim x2 at $0.50 x 2, bringing the total to $37.50 or $38.50 if your megrims are 10th ed. Also, I'd be glad to post pictures of my cards if you'd like. I just took a bunch, but actually fairly difficult to take a picture of a foil because you can't use the flash, which I guess I should've realized. =P I'll try again when the sun's out tomorrow, aka not night time.
Hey, I appreciate the interest, but 25 is kind of a low-ball offer that is close to what my LGS would offer for these two cards (about $22) without having to deal with packaging, shipping, and the inherent risk of non-face-to-face deals (which, for you, is practically zero given your trade history). Both cards are in NM condition, and Star City Games lists the values for the Batterskull and Crop Rotation at $30 and $8 respectively. However, as per the list of store selling foil Batterskulls on tcgplayer, one of those can be obtained for less than $30 — as low as $22 as of writing this. I'd be more than happy to trade with you, but I'd need to look through your tradelist for something I may need and make you an offer.
I was going to sell a few cards to my local game shop, as I'm not using them, and I'd prefer to get some other cards that would be beneficial for my decks. I'd rather trade here, as: a) I'd like to see someone else who may be looking for one of these get it; and b) the store would pay like 50% of the card's value, even with the trade-in-for-store-credit bonus, and that kinda blows. So, anyone want any of these?
Since Deckbox doesn't handle prices for non-latest editions or foils very well, I'm also providing links to other pricelists. For the tcgplayer site, scroll to the bottom of the list of stores' prices for foils. The MOTL prices' data are from ebay sales, but dates of sales, conditions, etc. aren't given, and sometimes the statistics are based on small sample sizes.
Batterskull (Foil) | tcgplayer | MOTL | eBay
Gush (Foil, Mercadian Masques) | tcgplayer | MOTL | eBay
Crop Rotation (Foil) | tcgplayer | MOTL | eBay
Artifact Mutation (Foil) | tcgplayer | MOTL | eBay
Atalya, Samite Master (Foil) | tcgplayer | MOTL | eBay
Ghitu Encampment (Foil, Urza's Legacy) | tcgplayer | MOTL | eBay
2x Lord of the Undead (Planeshift) | eBay
