Topic: WANTED: 4x Zombie Infestation, 1x Coat of Arms (0 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)
Yeah, I know, it's almost silly by definition, but I'm looking for:
4x Zombie Infestation (trade pending)
1x Coat of Arms
I've not got much in notable trade fodder, but a few more interesting names include:
Dungeon Geists
Vault of the Archangel
Heartless Summoning (trade pending)
Lingering Souls
Or, peruse my inventory and make an offer? I only expect the trade value to be around $6, but I figured I'd troll for a trade and see if there's any interest before buying them outright... 
Thanks in advance!

Re: 2 errors with pricing (6 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
I've found that the "average" price is frequently pretty biased; I've done a few trades where the "Minimum" prices are sub-ten-cents, and the depth of the market supports those prices, but the high price is $1.99, which skews the "Average."
I don't know what TCGPlayer's API looks like, but it seems like the "TCG Average" used by deckbox doesn't reflect market depth. If possible, I think a lot of pricing irregularities could be addressed by changing the pricing model to a weighted-average approach. $100 Beta versions of a $1 card would still skew the weighted average, but if there was only 1 Beta available and there were 100 M12 editions, the weighted average should still be close to $1, as opposed to $50.
EDIT: Meh; I suspect deckbox probably just has access to TCGPlayer's low/avg/high prices, and doesn't do any calculations on its own, so this is probably entirely moot. Oh well...

Re: Haven't played in a long time.....need advice (9 replies, posted in General Discussion)
They're not too bad - but you might also want to consider a Fat Pack. In both cases the booster packs will be the only source of rares/mythics, so the Toolkit will get you more cards, whereas the Fat Pack will get you fewer cards overall, but more rare/mythics.
Both should contain enough land to satisfy your needs...
Just something to think about.

Hm. My account has been inactive for awhile, but I've got enough ISK for a PLEX or two.
Who do you fly with, if I might ask?

Re: Pending Trade Wishlist Changes (5 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Could this be as simple as comparing the card to the profile's pending-trades and italicizing it in the list? If I'm looking at my inventory and I see something in italics, I know it's pending action, and if someone sees it in my tradelist or wishlist, they know that any trade involving that card is provisional.
Just a thought ...

Re: Fill-in missing fields (i.e. edition) (2 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
I would love to be able to specify this on the "mass import" tab of the add-card pane, as well. For instance, if I could use something like "4 Akoum Refuge [ZEN] [NM]" instead of just "4 Akoum Refuge" (without making the additional information required, of course) I'd be ecstatic.
In PHP, I've used this regexp inside preg_match() to break out qty/card name/set, in case it might be useful...I don't think it would be overly complicated to extend that to support condition as well...?
/^\s*(?P<qty>\d+)\s+(?P<card>[^[]+?)\s*((\[(?P<set>\w{3})\]{1})|$)/
Editions/sets make a difference to me, so it'd be really awesome to be able to manage that information en-masse.
Thanks!
