***NO LONGER ACTIVELY USING THIS SITE -- It has been going downhill for a while but is officially unusable now***

Currently only trading for things explicitly in my wishlist. Pay attention to the printing, I'm only looking for very specific printings and/or foils to finish upgrading my cube's pimp factor.

Quick and dirty trading rules:

1) CHECK TCGPLAYER FOR PRICING -- I do not use deckbox's pricing. It is severely flawed after they made the horrible mistakes that cost them access to tcgplayer's invaluable data. Please manually check pricing against tcgplayer's market prices...a lot of times deckbox is still right, but it's randomly way off, so don't trust it as gospel. (NOTE: Updated now that market pricing was added, Mid is now outdated and misleading).

EXCEPTION: High end stuff that doesn't move frequently and has very few listings. Then it's reading bird entrails and checking lowest price for the same condition on TCGPlayer and ebay and talking it out.


2) IF IT ISN'T IN MY TRADELIST, I WILL NOT TRADE IT -- The exception is if I'm initiating a trade OR we're negotiating a big deal and I offer it up to make things work. Pay attention to versions, as well. Example: I may have a KTK Wooded Foothills in my tradelist, and I also have multiple copies of the ONS version in my inventory; do not assume I will trade you the ONS version, odds are I marked the KTK version tradeable for a reason (i.e. I'm a hipster and want original printings in decks/cube).

Bottom line...stop asking if it isn't on my tradelist, if it's relevant and necessary I will offer it up based on what I see your wishlist.


3) KEEP YOUR LISTS UP TO DATE -- If I offer a trade and we start having to make multiple changes because your list isn't updated, I'm going to walk away because you're a pain in the ass to deal with. You don't get to be annoyed by me offering you cards you have on your wishlist, that's your fault for being lazy and not keeping the list current.


4) GRADE CONDITION ACCURATELY -- If I receive a card in HP condition and you had marked it NM (or, more likely, been too lazy to change it from the default when importing), we're going to have a problem. Don't try to pull that shit and hope I'll just let it slide. I redo my entire collection of thousands of cards regularly, it's NOT that hard to keep things accurate, even on massive inventories.


5) SHIPPING PROTOCOLS -- Under $20 gets put in a sleeve inside a top-loader inside a PWE with a stamp or two. Over that, same thing (sometimes sandwiched between top-loaders for big stacks), but inside a bubble mailer with tracking. You can print a label for a size #00 bubble mailer with tracking via paypal's multi-order shipping tool for $2.61, glue or tape the label you print to the envelope, drop in any mailbox for pickup. No exceptions, no excuses. I recommend insurance on anything over $50 if you're not willing to pony up for a replacement.

I will post a packing tutorial link here some day, but for now, protip: Use regular scotch tape, not packing tape. Fold over the very end of the strip before affixing...provides a nice little tab to easily pull the tape off when opening.


6) COMMUNICATE! -- I'm a pretty reasonable guy. Tell me when we're negotiating the trade that it's Wednesday and you can't ship until Monday. Unless there's a pressing reason, I'll probably be fine with that if you warn me, and I'll know to hold back my own cards just in case. I WILL be mad if you say nothing, my cards take 3 weeks to arrive, and I see the postmark is NOT when you marked the cards as sent (I can see that date, so stop lying about that shit please). That leads us to....


7) USE THE INTERFACE PROPERLY -- Don't mark cards sent until they're sent. The ONE smart update deckbox made was to remove cards from tradelists when a trade is accepted, there is NO reason to click "sent" until you actually do so. Again, I can see your envelope's postmark, if it doesn't line up with when you marked that, I will call you on it.


8) NEW TRADERS WELCOME! -- I don't discriminate based on lack of feedback, only on QUALITY of feedback. I just ask that if you have 15 or fewer scores, please expect to send your half of the trade first, and I will provide my half after that is received.

If you have negative feedback, don't talk to me. Especially given how rarely anyone is allowed to use that, I do not take chances....start a new account and rebuild your reputation from scratch, jump through the hoops to regain trust.

I get it if you don't want to trade your Gaea's Cradle for 20 of my Standard cards, but if you're saying in your profile you absolutely refuse to "trade down" to the point where you won't take two $5 cards for a $10 card, you can fuck right off, I'm not going to trade with you because I find your entitled attitude obnoxious.

Now it's time for a little rant about an epidemic this site is experiencing lately: Users demanding a premium to trade with them.

Look, I know you think you're clever for trying to make a living speculating on cardboard stocks in your mommy's basement. But you're not. You're just an asshole. You cannot defend this by citing brick and mortar store buylists as your defense.

Stores buying low and selling for a profit is a given. They are a business, and I am sometimes willing to do this, as in return I also get an awesome place to go to tournaments. That premium buys me protection by doing business with an actual licensed business, and fringe benefits like access to space to play, their marketing attracting players to events, their organization of the events, etc.

What does my premium buy me with you? The right to trade with you? You offer nothing to justify demanding a profit out of me. The arrogance it requires to flat out say that you deserve free shit to trade with you is mind-boggling. Get some fucking perspective, you're one of millions of players, you are not special. People like you do nothing but ruin this game to squeeze out a negligible gain until you give up and move on. Please go away.
