I have used this guide for a while:

http://www.abugames.com/Magic_the_Gathe … Guide.html

I think $2k is far too low; if you sort your inventory by price the sum of everything over $10 is $3,275. To me a $10 card is easy to sell, so you shouldn't knock any percentage off those cards. I don't have much experience selling on eBay and such though, so my $10 comparison might be too high or low.

Make sure to quote anything that has a comma in the name or a colon in the edition, i.e.

1,,Ezuri, Renegade Leader,,,,,Scars of Mirrodin,,English
should be
1,,"Ezuri, Renegade Leader",,,,,Scars of Mirrodin,,English

and
2,,Fertile Ground,,,,,Duel Decks: Phyrexia vs. the Coalition,,English
should be
2,,Fertile Ground,,,,,"Duel Decks: Phyrexia vs. the Coalition",,English

if not, it will split these (or at least the comma one) into two, since the comma is the delimiter.

If you use Certified Mail on a letter it'll run around $3 total. They will need to sign for it when it arrives, so this might be a deal breaker for this method. Otherwise just a plain letter has never failed, although it will take a week or three to arrive. Keep in mind you will need to fill out a Customs form, which is easy to do here. The AES Exemption will be NOEEI 30.37(a).

I'll trade Domri for an Obzedat! Trade sent.

This has been mentioned here and here, but I didn't want to necro.
   It would be great if alternate art could be specified, most importantly I think for lands. On the card database page of each card, the separate arts can currently be viewed by clicking on the expansion symbol, and I think this would be a great way as well when adding the card; maybe put a number next to the expansion symbol to quickly tell them apart. It would be awesome if this could be added to the csv import as well, as I am re-doing my inventory with the new import options.

Thanks sebi and laura for all you do!

It has moved to the right side; hover over it and click; like this:

Sent a trade request. Thanks!

I have a way... awfully roundabout though.
You could use Suspend... knock a counter off every time you take damage. You'd have to add a counter every turn to prevent autodeath 5 turns in; something like this:

{B} Sorcery
Draw 2 cards. Exile [CARD] with 5 time counters on it.
  At the beginning of your upkeep, add a time counter to [CARD].
  Whenever you take damage, remove a time counter from [CARD]
  When you would cast [CARD], if it wasn't from your hand, you lose the game instead.
  Suspend

It might be better to have a manual override for color, and perhaps format as well. Maybe with a warning icon on the deck page to let you know just in case you do change colors and forget to set them back.

I was wondering if in the trade screen there could be a button that would print out a cardlist containing:

  • Cards

  • Quantity

  • Quality

  • Edition

  • Price

  • Address

I don't know if anyone would want fancy options like importable graphic headers, template options, etc... any thoughts?

A checkbox would be great!

I really like the "For each card you add to this set with this widget, one is also added to your Inventory." warning when adding cards to the tradelist. I feel it's equally important to have the mirror of that when adding cards to the inventory; I know there have been several threads about that.

When looking at my decks, the yellow and red indicators for when I don't have enough of a card is missing.

After poring over it, those minor things are all I could find. Great job!

Thanks for the feedback!

On the topic of adding cards, we thought that if you wish to add cards directly to the tradelist you could use the tradelist add. Do you mean you generally want things added to the tradelist as well when added to the inventory? Would an extra checkbox option be ok in the add widget of the inventory for that?

I have a somewhat similar deck, and here are some cards I run:

Confessor
   Thinking about pulling this in favor of Bloodchief Ascension, but it is a chump blocker if needed.
Windfall
   Derptastic amounts of draw on the cheap.
Jace's Archivist
   More of the same.
Geth's Grimoire
   Gets ridiculous on the draws sometimes, and combos well with the Anvil.

In the title Iaslen is asking for the Agent of Artifice media promo edition.

Deckbox pulls it's info from TCGPlayer, so anything missing from here comes from TCGPlayer. I'd suggest sending them an email about the issue.

I possibly have three... have to talk to my friend/co-owner of the cards. I might require payment instead of cards, if that's alright with you.

I am thinking that those cards are also present in M11; if you didn't specify the editions for all your cards, that is.

I have this issue as well on my laptop and desktop, linux and windows. Seems to be more of a problem when I'm on a slower connection.

You can use magiccards.info to generate the search, they have a LOT of advanced search options. Then use the mass import option here (looks like two pages) and it's all imported. I've already done the search you're interested in [HERE].

I've also used my regex magic to prepare a text list so you don't have to prepare it yourself:

4 Ajani's Sunstriker

4 Aven Squire

4 Ring of Valkas

4 Tormod's Crypt
4 Evolving Wilds
4 Reliquary Tower

This won't list them as from M13 unfortunately; use TyWooOneTime's advice instead if that's what you want.

Expanding on this idea, also perhaps some simple regex commands, nothing too fancy; like:
^ for beginning of name
$ for end of name
* for any number of non-space characters
? for a single non-space character


Also as far as importing cards, if you're not picky about card details like foil and edition, I enter them into a big text file, then copy-paste it into the Mass Import function (second tab, looks like two pages). Anything you misspell remains in the import field, ready to be fixed. The foils I put in a separate text file and enter those in one by one.

Hello everyone!
I am selling all of my friend's collection; he needs the cash to move to a different apartment.  We're hoping to get a fair bit sold off by the end of the month.

His profile is here: http://deckbox.org/users/teh_noobles
His tradelist is here: http://deckbox.org/sets/167442

There are several cards in his inventory that aren't in the tradelist; those are cards in my wishlist I'm hoping to save for myself, but feel free to make any offer; he needs the money more than I need the cards. big_smile

Thanks for the interest!
