Gideon's Avenger is at $1.21 regular printing and $1.12 foil.  TCG is 0.79 / 1.45.  Not a big deal, but thought it was funny that the foil was cheaper than the regular.

I'm at ... a lot of trades, and can only remember once or twice that either my envelope or the other person's has gotten lost.  Sender replaces, and all is right with the world.  Card conditions are definitely an issue, but all you have to do is ask.  The other thing people can honestly mistake pretty frequently (and I have to verify) is "is it actually black border [Legends||AN||AQ||etc] or white border chronicles?" or "is it actually unlimited or revised?".

Personally, pretty much everything in my tradelist is SP or better.  I have only had one or two cases where someone actually cared about condition and asked about it, or assumed that everything was NM even though no condition was flagged and was unhappy.  Most of the time I'll mention condition and my trade partner totally won't care as long as it isn't noticeable through a sleeve.

This is a pretty common request, and as far as I know you still aren't able to do it.

It makes a giant difference for an EDH deck, if I have it foiled out and have guru/APAC basics in there instead of the super-cheap regular basics...

Bird ( Extras: Magic Player Rewards, # 1 ) shows 99.99 while TCG mid is 3.38

https://deckbox.org/mtg/Angel?printing=25697 and https://deckbox.org/mtg/Goblin?printing=25694 are off as well.

Anyone want to swap fetches?  Obviously it'd be 2+ for 1 or something...

JSS Lord of Atlantis is $300 on deckbox.org, $14.99 on SCG and has a tcg high of $29.98.

To be fair, there's one listed at that price on the Deckbox market.  In poor condition. Not sure why that person thinks it will sell for that much, but I guess he just needs one person willing to spend that...

I'm pretty sure the rules are that it's up to you whether you want your commander to hit the GY or to be exiled to the command zone instead.

I could see a few reasons to want to exile instead of getting the counter though, if someone's got an instant-speed card to shuffle your GY into your deck, or to take a creature card from any GY and put it into play under their control.  Those can be played as a response to the undying trigger, so they happen before your commander gets reanimated.

I don't know about eldrazi, but this was a pretty funny link from 94.  Back in the day, your only source for prices was a magazine called Scrye that came out every month.

I agree with that, maybe you can make a setting to switch between those two interfaces. I came to this site when the new card pages were there and maybe not perfect, but far better than the old pages. Now clicking on 100s of cards from some set and adding them to my wishlist is way too painful to even try that. sad Not to mention that details about different editions of card that I own (and btw it's the most important info to me) are now on left side, stripped down from their average price.

The first thing I do when you import a new set is to go through and add one of everything in foil to my wishlist.  Thinking about it, the new card page system means I would end up opening a few hundred tabs to do this.  I guess that's one way to make sure I hit everything, but would probably be some server load for you.

I have been adding my tokens and am glad that Conspiracy and M15 were imported last night.  However, Dack Fayden's emblem is filed under "Deck Fayden".

Also, the Wolf token from the M15 pre-release event isn't in.  Great work getting everything else in though!

What IronMagus said.  Some people go crazy with it and send out 10-15 trades for a single one of their cards, then set up discussions with the first person to reply and cancel the others.

As long as you aren't really wasting anyone's time, I don't have a problem with it.  Just mention in the chat box that you're sending out to a few people so I know whether it's worth my time to spend a while thinking about it or not.

I agree about the small orders.  However, I agree with the site's stance that any seller's prices are what they're willing to sell the card for.  When I go to a store, I expect that if a card in the case is marked at $20, they will sell it to me for $20.  I will walk away if they then say "wait a sec, let me check this price" and jack it up to whatever the internet says they might be able to sell it to someone for.

It's rumored that SCG and other card stores do exactly what you're proposing - marking large bits of their inventory as out-of-stock around banlist and large tournaments just for this reason.  I don't personally like that approach either but whatever.

The way I understand it is that you can order your triggers in whatever order you want.  So resolve Purphoros first, then the ornithopters, then you get 4 nuke everyone triggers.

Awesome!

Traded 2 tarns + a catacombs in July 2012 for a Japanese Lu Xun, Engineered Explosives, Caged Sun, Hanna, and Oath of Druids.

By current deckbox prices, that's a loss of almost $200, but it was even at the time.  Go modern I guess...

It probably has to do with all the people (like me) NOT wanting to trade from inventory, and the requests for inventory privacy.  It makes sense that as a user you should have the option to do it, but Sebi and co. probably just haven't figured out how to do that.

As for 'convincing' someone to sell out of their tradelist inventory, it seems to be one of the highest demanded features on this website to get rid of that 'functionality'. Being harassed to trade cards out of your decks that you aren't willing to trade seems to be a bother for people on this site, and one could certainly see why. It might be alleviated by allowing users to block one another, to get rid of that guy who is 'bugging you' to sell your Underground Sea out of your EDH deck, but being able to set inventory to private fixes that problem without losing any potential sales due to heavy-handed blocking.

This is another reason for inventories to be private, in addition to the safety issues with someone with an extensive inventory giving their address out to receive $5 in cards...  I don't think this is an issue selling cards though since I think you have to opt in to each card you want to sell.

That's exactly it, I have that issue with a bunch of my rare foils too.  You'd have to go hit ebay or somewhere else for a price if you were willing to trade it.
