Topic: Have Thundermaw Hellkite - Want, lots of stuff

Just pulled a Thundermaw Hellkite at FNM.  Never even played.  Up for trade to whomever can fill the most of my wishlist - note that I don't want offers with $30 worth of commons/junk rares.

My wishlist:  http://deckbox.org/sets/129549

I could be tempted... let me dig around with some of what you have.  Do you prefer avg or min prices?  (I'm on min now with the blip in TGC averages).

Re: Have Thundermaw Hellkite - Want, lots of stuff

I use Minimum prices but specific to the edition it's printed in if that's a relevant factor, I'd also offer above value given that you'd probably be trading down

I'm pleased to report the Thundermaw has found a new, loving home.

Thanks everyone who expressed interest.

I'm thinking about making that a policy of mine, perhaps adding it to my profile: will accept trades of low value cards for high value cards at a premium of 'X'.  I just don't know what value 'X' should have.  Perhaps that's a seed for another thread...

Re: Have Thundermaw Hellkite - Want, lots of stuff

It's one of those things that the higher dollar cards are obviously at a premium, and unless the person offering it is dying to unload it, you likely would have to give up some value (within reason).  Unless it's a roughly even swap (i.e. Thundermaw for Sublime Archangel or Cavern of Souls, etc) i don't think it's unreasonable to expect.

I know that I've received countless offers for 2-3 five or six dollar cards that are comprised of like 1-2 one dollar cards and a bunch of junk rares/uncommons.  In those instances, I'm VERY unlikely to do the trade unless I'm picking up a LOT of value.  I've instituted a rule that I go by low values (because 1. you could just go buy them at that price, and 2. it doesn't inflate the values of penny cards) and that the person trading up will have to give up value.  I get that you have to start somewhere, but man...
