Note:Please make sure if you're PMing me to do it through "E-mail: Send forum e-mail" when you click on my name. I will only take last minute bids by forum email and not just by random personal emails that are not sent through deckbox. Thanks and happy bidding!

Rules:
1. You are bidding on a Revised Tropical Island. It's inbetween nm/sp in my opinion, but still nonetheless, one of the best conditions I've seen in awhile. It just has some white nicks on the back at the corners.
2. The minimum bid starting will be 25pts.
3. I will update 2-3 times a day of the winning bid. I will give 1.5x for foil versions. I expect all cards used to bid in NM/M condition unless otherwise noted to me and I've given a reduced pt total for the particular card.
4. Bidding ends at midnight 4/20/12, central time. Winner will be expected to contact me within 24 hours of auction close via forum email. Bidder pays for their own shipping of cards.
5. Things to bid with:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Qty accepted per bid/Name/Pts given per each card
-------------------------------------------------------------------
04 Batterskull 3pts
04 Champion of the Parish  0.50pt

Re: TROPICAL ISLAND *Trade Auction* (ENDING @ Midnight)

this seems overly complicated.

Re: TROPICAL ISLAND *Trade Auction* (ENDING @ Midnight)

I'll bid 25 pts consituted by a lili, swff, snapcaster, and sulfur falls which is conditional on you taking better photos lol.

I say that because it looks much closer to sp with the backside showing noticeable edge wear at the top/left/right with a funky bottom left corner and what looks to be odd bits of whitening across the back top  half's center as well....what's up with that white line on the almost dead center of the right?  Take the sleeve off, put it under a lamp, and take 2 new pics! smile

I'm also fine paying for your shipping as you've requested, but as my cards are nm, I'm going to want you to send should I win unless you put up some better pics!! tongue

Re: TROPICAL ISLAND *Trade Auction* (ENDING @ Midnight)

My bid:
2 Liliana of the Veil = 16
1 Snapcaster Mage = 7
2 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben = 1
=26

Also, why should we pay for shipping if we are going to have to ship you cards in return? That's stretching it.

I meant, you're responsible for shipping your own cards. I'm fine with shipping the Tropical Island on my own dollar.

Re: TROPICAL ISLAND *Trade Auction* (ENDING @ Midnight)

I agree, this seems unnecessarily complex and I'm concerned about possibly losing out on other offers while my cards are wrapped up in this for so many days.

That being said, I give you credit for trying something different so I'll bid 28 in the form of:

2x Liliana = 16
1x SoFaF = 9
2x Champion of the Parish = 1
2x Woodland Cemetery = 2

If by "can't add" you meant that you can't add more cards to your vote for the day then I agree tongue

On the bright side, my liliana's and SoFaF just freed up!

I'm sorry, but I would like to stick to the rules. Yes he did not have it in his initial post. So if you want it back, Tawnos, you can still take the winning bid for the time being.

haha no, I'm good.  There are plenty of days left and he can just re-post tomorrow.  I just didn't want to pass up an opportunity for such punny word play.

Re: TROPICAL ISLAND *Trade Auction* (ENDING @ Midnight)

OH, I missed that part, rules are different here.

I'll be patient.
