Thanks to everyone for the help so far.  Those w/o links are unable to be confirmed while at work (firewall prevents gaming).
I update the original post whenever I can with user submitted websites, thank you to all of you for sharing places you know.

Re: magic websites

You pretty much hit all the major ones

channelfireball.com
gamingetc.com

magiccards.info (aka Oracle) just uses tcgplayer prices but its often easier to search for cards than some websites searches.

Re: magic websites

Can anyone help with more websites?  Places that sell only sealed product please include no matter how big or small.  Places that sell cards, stores that sell, anything.

Re: magic websites

I pretty much mtgstocks, mtgprice, tcg low correcting for condition, and latest(~last 10) ebay auction prices.

Re: magic websites

I like Mtggoldfish.com for looking at price trends, knowing whether to buy/sell or wait.  They are mostly based around online prices but have aggregate the big paper sites (Tcgplayer etc..) if you switch the viewer. 

The neat little hidden gem about that site is the "deal finder" on the top bar under shop.  It combs ebay and finds all of the "undervalued" auctions and sorts by format: Legacy/standard etc... should you just wanna get a good deal on stuff.

Re: magic websites

So many of the little stores are on tcgplayer that it almost doesn't make sense to look for them individually.  The only exception for me is I've found great prices on sealed product, boxes in particular, at miniaturemarket.  They're usually $80-$100 for recent sets and pre-orders, and they offer free shipping on orders over $99, so it is pretty easy to throw something else in.

I play a fair bit on MTGO, so http://www.magicev.com/ is handy.  For a quick printable price guide, dawnglare is good.  Metamox is a good price & staple reference as well.  If I want to watch some pro-level magic, mtgcoverage.com has everything.

To analyze drafts or brews, I use deckstats because it has useful statistics. I like it better than tappedout or even deckbox, though I put my finished brews up here to see what I need to complete them! It also links to edhrec.com, which is amazing for EDH. 

The once or twice a year I go to a GP or PTQ, I use http://metadeck.me/ to proxy up a gauntlet to test my deck against.  You can get 12 decks on the same proxy and it'll populate the decks for you, pretty handy.

If you're a collector, mtgcb shows you how far you are to collecting each set.

Edit: Erp, looks like miniature market was already on the list!

You have a very good point.  My counter to that, which you mentioned would be sealed product.  There are other sites listed above that are the same as tcgplayer. 

Other reasons would be if something happens to these bazaar websites there is an individual list.  TCGPlayer charges tax for those in NY state so different options may be helpful to avoid the extra money.  Not everything is listed on TCGPlayer.  I also am a firm believer in a variety of options from a psychological viewpoint over a one stop shop.

Re: magic websites

Pucatrade is great and has its own economy.  If you decide to sign up use my referral because it gets you bonus points right off the bat.

https://pucatrade.com/invite/gift/4391

With the link and within fulfilling a few other requirements you can get a 5-10$ card for free or put it towards a different trade.  People are trustworthy and it allows you to trade around lower value cards (Probably my favorite part).

My pleasure, thanks for putting together a handy list!  Also, https://www.echomtg.com/ is great to track collection value. 

Small stores sell sealed product through TCGplayer, just like singles - that's how I found miniaturemarket, buying a box on TCG and they were lowest. 

If you're in the US and not paying taxes on purchases at the point of sale, you're legally required to pay state/county sales taxes on your tax filings.  Since tracking down all online purchases of physical products shipped to your state is a pain in the rear, I prefer paying sales tax up front!  Amazon didn't used to charge sales tax and I had to go through my order history and figure it out sad
