Wanting to Sell 2x Voice Of Resurgence

Not to offend people on this forum, but most seem cheap lol.  Especially the people who aren't playing actually playing standard.  The people who think their legacy/modern card's monetary value is some how worth more than a standard card's value.  I do understand that they want to trade against the future value of the card, but ummm.  This isn't the future, this is today, the present.  VoR is priced the way is it because Dragon's Maze sucked as a set (for the most part).  No one's opening boxes to sell singles like they'd normally be doing.  Supply and demand.  If people weren't willing to pay in the mid $40's for them, you'd never see TCG's inventory change.  But hey, I'm just a ranting.  Have a good day!

Cheapest on TCG (NM) is $45-$46 + shipping.  So I figured $80 shipped for 2 is a decent price.  No, it's not "cheap" but I'm not hurting for cash.

I completely understand that.  But it's confusing when MANY people have VoR in their wishlist, but then offer you 50% it's value in trade value.  That's just stupid.  Why then even have it in your wish list? It would be nice if this site could select priorities in your trade.  Some people kind of do it themselves by changing the want quantity, but that messes up searches and it's not standardized at all.

Not argue with you, but there are zero on ebay for $38 (how about you do an average selling price for the last 7 days and report back). Sure, occasionally an idiot will post one for a lot less.  But they are probably hard for cash or something. It's not the norm.  Pricing and availability is always fluctuating there.  I have had a successful eBay business for more than 3 years (nothing to do with MTG) so I know very well how things work on ebay.  Asking less than what is typical is hardly delusional.  I could be asking $45 +shipping and I would still be in line with many sellers.  but jeez, if I did that here.  People would flip the F out like I was trying to rob them.

If you're posting here to sell at TCG prices, what would be the point in us buying it from you? Why not just buy it from TCG, where we can raise a dispute if something goes wrong along the way? I'm almost willing to bet that most people that want a Voice would be willing to do it a full trade value, and not buy it at full value.

lol you must be checking auction prices.  Sorry I didn't clarify.  Only morons sell using eBay's auction  (unless you're doing a high volume of sales which add up). I was talking about how much you can buy one right now for.  Guess what? Auctions aren't right now. It might take you a while to win at the price you want.  Compare apples to apples.  Feel free to go back and check for buy in now prices.  You typically lose 10-35% of "retail value"  buy auctioning.   Last I checked, isn't TCG mid "retail" price? The price that's $12+ more than I'm asking.  Locally, the card stores i goto all have them in the $50's.  Please let me know which retail store is selling them for $40.

I'm not even tripping, I don't honestly even care that much.  I just think I have to defend the sellers point of view when people are getting all crazy talking about $40 is retail.  GTFO.  According to that dude, ebay auction prices are now retail.  Ya, don't we wish lol.

But thanks for the feedback!

Yes,  good job at reading.  I said "unless you're doing a high volume of sales which add up".

Please have some sort of proof where you are trying to justify your "retail price" All you did is avoid the question by saying that TCG mid is not retail.  Okay, how about we take all the big name sellers from TCG (2k + sales) and average their selling price for VoR.  Would you consider that retail?  Because it's still looking to be more than $50

I apologize that this thread has been completely turned into a debate.  Who ever thought selling a few trading cards would upset someone.

If anyone has cards plus + cash that they'd like to offer.  Please feel free to me up via trade or email.  I'm almost always looking for sets of shock land and Deathrite Shamans! I have a few things on my wishlist too, although it's hardly complete.

You obviously don't pay attention to Ebay. KI's auctions close near or above average retail pretty regularly. He doesn't rely on "volume", he replies on his reputation and inventory.

TCGPlayer mid is not "retail" because TCGplayer mid is an aggregate of retailers. TCGPlayer low is realistic retail for cards in standard. Pretending like Ebay auctions don't exist is just stupid.
