what does this mean exactly?

a mechanism to identify a gold bordered card. for example, where we have foil, promo, signed, etc... a new option called "other", "gold-bordered", or something?

is there a way to sort and or filter an inventory by "promo" flag, kind of like the is foil flag?

Well they are doing a great job. The site is excellent. IT will continue to strive as requests from it's members are considered and implemented when possible or applicable.

Great work thus far!

OOPS Sorry. I am logged in as mtgstuff, because im working around this inventory issue we speak of in this thread.

mtgstuff = buhtwipe,

if possible, is it easy to change the creator of the mtgstuff to buhtwipe on this thread? if not no big deal. sorry about the confusion.

Thank you for the clarification.

If the Deck builder screen allowed you to specify all the details available in inventory, would that work? Each "deck" could represent a collection, and those special decks could be organized in a single folder.

As it stands now, however, that is not an option (no details on card version, etc.).

Would you be using the different online inventories in conjunction with another price tracking system? Deckbox does not keep historical price information at this time.  Each time you view a completed trade, you see the current price. [I just  pulled open some of my oldest trades to confirm this.]

Sebi and company decide on features for upgrades and the like. I'm fairly confident they've seen these before (multiple inventories, details in decks), so it will be up to them to determine what projects provide the best return for the community.

If decks are to be used, would removing the deck's also remove from inventory? That is one of the big goals. If i get rid of 3000 cards then i want to quickly wipe them from my deckbox inventory. Im happy to do this via deck if it is possible but i think decks are just linked to inventories only. Like a reflection of a subset of an inventory. IF you could make that reflection actually remove inventory data with maybe a button that says delete deck and related inventory items, it may work.

Problem with decks, load a 3000-5000 card deck once. Probably will crash Chrome on you. Inventories do not have this problem as they are limited to a subset of cards with a paging mechanism .You would need to implement a paging mechanism for decks then. maybe say, if deck is > 200, implement paging. Or go with my inventory approach/request.

Not worried about price history myself, though i could see it being useful. To me its a lower priority.

Trading vs personal purposes.

Inventory 1 - Trading Lot 1
A separate inventory from the wishlist or trade list. Quickly erasable would be helpful too. (i noticed on inventories that it is not so easy to wipe all cards but in this use case it would be nice, like erasing a deck even). This lot is tracked separately to make sure value is obtained from what is in it versus original trades or costs.

Inventory 2 - Trading Lot 2
Same thins as #1 but a different lot.

Inventory 3 - Trading Lot 3.
Same thing as #1 but a different lot (e.g. maybe selling a friends lot here, dont want to mix with personal stuff)

Inventory 4 - Personal Lot
Used to personal set that is actively being used and no intentions to sell or manage separately.

Technically you could achieve this simply by creating "decks" that contain each subset of your inventory.  Then you would be able to easily link to them and control exactly what is in them.  You would have to keep track of changes for each one (as the automated trade inventory removal would not work) and it would likely affect the card counts in your overall inventory; but if you're keeping a keen eye on the "decks," you could easily manage those few cards.

Yes and I tried this but have you tried making a deck with say, 3000, cards? then loading that deck? decks load differently (sorted by type, etc) than inventories. try loading a 3000 card deck once. wink

DOH, how did I miss that.

thanks!

how do i know which prices to trust?

like on deckbox, dark confidant shows $53.20, $58.60, $69.98 while on tcg player, if i click the link, it shows $46.49 for a low.

Maybe more is going on than i know like tax/shipping or something?

When does this stuff sync or is it on the fly when you load a card's detailed page?

Hello,

Found some old MTG cards in a box in my attic. They are mostly warped from how they say in a box with tons of hockey cards so i put them in as "heavily played" when making a list but I noticed a heavy book on them flattens them out quickly. Only like two are ripped, creased, ruined so I marked those as poor.

If anyone is interested, let me know. Selling them all.
