Hey everyone!

I recently accumulated a lot of moving expenses from moving across country. So to make some of the money back I'm doing 15% off all orders and free shipping over $100. This deal will go on until next Friday (September 30th).

I also have an uncut foil WAR sheet if anyone is interested in that.

Hello,

I have thought some more on the topic of implementing a possibility for sellers to opt for "non-instant orders" - where buyers need to first open the order for discussion before payment [1]. This would allow the seller to double check on inventory availability, card condition accuracy and pricing issues, thus avoiding the fees and annoyance of refunds.

I have tried to sketch a couple of options, ranging from a simple info flag that would highlight sellers that ask for such a discussion before payment, to an option that does not allow the buyer to pay before the seller "confirms", much like the trades have a "propose" - "accept" flow on both sides.

I have decided in the end that all the solutions have a bit too many downsides, and in the name of simplicity we will remain with the current system. In all cases there would be too many loopholes where sellers could lowball the pricing, only to then later bump it up after an order is discussed, or be negligent with inventory since cancellations would not incur negative feedback, etc...

The interface is also getting complicated, since the "special seller flag" needs to be displayed (and also explained) on card pages, on marketplace pages, on seller profile pages, on seller tradelists, on order pages, and on multi-order pages, where you'd have some of your orders be "instant", others "wait to discuss them" before you can click on "pay for all".

I'm not saying the feature request was not reasonable, and I do empathize with the issues of keeping accurate pricing and inventories for occasional sellers that have a job and life outside of magic, and not much time, but I could not find a solution that felt clean sad

All I can promise ist that I will try harder on keeping deckbox pricing more correct, and less "laggy" in catching up with price spikes, as much as i can.

Trying is all we can ask for. You do a better job at taking care of this site than most people realize. As a frequent seller who has to deal with people trying to swipe in before I can correct spikes I don't mind dealing with it on my own. Though I wish that cancelling a sale with full refund wouldn't give us a negative feedback, they get their money back and they can re-buy if they so choose but I feel that a negative feedback should only be used when the buyer is actually out something. This could mean that no refund was given, rude seller behavior, mislabeled conditions, etc. Especially in the cases where a buyer made a profile strictly to undercut sellers. Just food for thought though big_smile

I think I can list condition for every card pretty easily, but I have one that's unique. It's an Beta (or Alpha, can't remember right now) card in rather good condition other than the pin hole someone nutz made when they pinned it to a tackboard. The hold goes in the back and comes out the front so it's not super noticable in the back, but it IS marked in that way. What do I do about that?

Damaged. BUT if you add a picture to the card in your inventory you can always let people see how bad, or good, it actually is.

Is it still against the rules to prey upon people that don't see the market trends? Long story short I just got played like a fool on Jace, Vyrn's when they went from $20 to $65 in less than a month. Dropped 2 and a Liliana for a Mind Sculptor and. Long story short feeling awfully cheated here just because I don't follow the standard markets that much.

Will we ever see the horde deck cards or heroes' path cards on the database? I'd really like to be able to trade them and trade for them.

I've had this happen to me quite a few times as well, but I've also been the one to do it. There are two main factors behind why I myself do it:

1) I don't want a super casual card for a staple. I often have cards on my trade list that are "if the price is right" if that makes sense.

2) Someone from out of the country wants to do a trade for less than shipping is going to cost.

Sorry if this is somewhere else but can we get the The Heroes Path cards up?
