If Salvation noooooo! and EPIC FAIL had a superhuman love child, it wouldn't come 1/1,000,000th as close to how bad your posts have been.

You ask why the hostility? It's simple. You come to this forum asking for help, you have several members offer to help you and give you sound advice, and yet you choose to ignore it and throw it back in their faces. It's either a case of blind idiocy or petulant trolling, and quite frankly, it's hysterical. In a good way for us, in a terrible way for you.

The only reason I am responding to this post is to provide more fodder for your downward spiral into stupidity. I only pray that stu or coolio finds this thread before it's locked.

I always need some luck. I do have other cards up for sale and they are all priced over guide. They will all sit there for an extended period of time and as I stated I know this.

People do look at these cards, mega people. I just moved my present forum from another host to proboards so theirs no traffic yet. I have some 1994 comic book cards I overpriced and there were so many hits on that thread it was unbelievable on my old forum hosting site!

I'm not making squat from trading cards but I did invest in them to make a profit as millions of other people did. I just am willing to pick out the most popular and rarer cards I've aquired and sit on them (list them at above price guide value). Doesn't cost me a plugged cent to list them on Ioffer, my card forum or even here. Maybe some of that luck you gave me will come my way

I gathered up a bunch of nickle and dime cards about 10 years ago and just gave them to a card collector. He was so happy. I am getting ready to go through the thousands of cards I kept again and do the same thing except give them to the Vietnam Veterans.

I'm always on my own. Got some great info for Magic The Gathering cards from members here. Wasn't really looking for pricing info, that just got sucked into this thread by persons going overboard.

I'm always willing to listen to offers if anyone doesn't like the $8.00 price tag. We'll see!

See, this is where you are warped and wrong. I came to this forum looking for info about how the cards are set up meaning "symbols, abbreviations, how to tell which card is what" and I did get some of this info in the first few posts then all the dictators came a roll'in in.

I only mentioned that I saw this card posted for $8.00. I never stated this was going to be my selling price, never! Some dingo came in and said the card was price guide listed at $2.50. I only said I might sell at $5.00 and everyone here got "****y".

You are still ****y and trying to exert your command and control syndrome over other members when it's none of your business in reality what I sell the cards at. Even if I post a list here on MOTL at higher than guide value it's none of your business. Nobodies twisting your arm to buy them or even look at them.

Your trying to be dictator of MOTL and that's all this tiff comes down to. You and the little world you think you built on this forum. If someone doesn't agree with you and your buddies they get run off.

posted April 27, 2010 04:51 PM            

Just try to sell your box of cards here. I look forward to the results.

Also, how many times an item is viewed doesn't mean jack. It just shows that many people have looked at your overpriced listings and moved on.

EDIT: You are right. It's not our business what you try to sell your cards for. However, you're the one who got defensive when it was pointed out that your pricing style won't fly here and felt compelled to share your philosophy on selling.

We can dictate what people sell for here if they want to actually sell here. You can post a list with whatever prices you want, but it doesn't mean people will actually pay them.

It's not the ease of finding the collectables it's the sellers that are chasing the stinky Ebay rating star and dumping the collectables for whatever price they can get to get a boost up towards the next level star.

---

quote:

---

I'm looking around to find the highest reasonable price level to sell these cards at. I do look on Ebay also. The cards may have once been listed on Ebay but if certain cards only get listed rarely and the price guide doesn't pick up on this it's time to boost prices. The Ebay price guides may have picked up on a card that was listed along time ago but that card has not been listed by anybody else since that one listing.

---

yeah, either it's not worth the time to list the item, or it's that rare.. I'd wager money in your case, the former.

quote:

---

If another site is selling for $8.00 and the price Ebay price guide puts them at $2.50 I was thinking $5.00. It all depends on how easy the cards are to find on the web. The price guide is as the word stated, Just a "Guide" and not any kind of a fixed or set price resource. Most people think the word "Guide" is what fixed price collectables have to be sold at but it is only an approx. resource to gauge what people are paying for certain items. If all collectors sell at higher than guide the prices in the guide will go up eventually.

---

except, there's such a huge volume of cards, that is seemingly beyond your comprehension... this is not a market place where you have 10 ppl who want the 1-2 of's in the world. If you want too much, someone else who just want cash vs a piece of cardboard, will just undercut you and sell for lower. you have no idea what kind of a market you are dealing in

quote:

---

I'll find out which cards are rare and do some extra work to see how easy I can find these cards on the internet and boost my price from the extra work I do. Lots of people dump on Ebay just to chase the feedback star. They never make any money and it drives collectable prices down.

---

you are a true idiot, people sell on ebay and make money, the feedback comes along with good service, and timely shipment. You make a lot of presumptions, and have no experience to speak from, and perhaps some even craptacular observations.

of course there are.. and there are some of us too lazy to bother making a post.. but I've got a stack of 10-15 just lying about on the floor.. and I couldnt care less to pick it up for fear of stepping on it

I haven't even went through that big box shown on Gum Stick. I only went through about 10 cards and put it aside. I found the disk cards right off the top.

That site I found the disk card on for $8.00 only had 1. This is why they pumped the price on it up over what the said going rate for these cards is. Just wait until all the other disk cards sell out on other sites for the $3.00 if there are any.

---

there's a huge population count of revised nevinyrral's disk, you just dont have a concept of the print run.

quote:

---

I have other income sources so I will wait until you sell your disk card for $3.00 and there are no more. Sounds like a good plan. Maybe in about 2 or 3 years my disk card will sell for $8.00 since it will be only one of two on the internet.

We'll see.
Thanks!

---

only 1 or 2 on the internet.. you have seriously no clue on the circulation of cards, the volume that exists, and the print runs of any of the sets do you? You dont have to answer that question, it was rhetorical.. made so I can point out just how completely you are out of the league of sellers

If you can't tell I'm not looking for the quick sale. I don't sell on Ebay even though I used to.

You can list and post on Ioffer.com for free. They have traffic and only charge a low FVF or I think it is about .50 FVF on nickle and dime stuff like .25 cent trading cards.

There's other places besides Ebay. Ebay is to big and to fat for its own good. Now that Ebay jacked up all its selling fees you will see less and less cards on Ebay. I think Online Auctions picked up about 60,000 or so card listings from ex-Ebay sellers.

I'm willing to wait, no problem. I do have a reputation. Just not enough people know about my excellent reputation.

---

no, but your idiocy is pretty evident as for 60k listings.. uh huh.. in what? a yr? I do about 400+ listings a wk if i dont get lazy.. that's 20k by myself I can manage a yr.. big deal..

do you see people anywhere wanting them? I have a flaming bag of dog poo for sale, it's not for sale anywhere else.. does that mean I can charge $1000000000000000000000000000 for it? yes? awesome.. you buyin it right? I take wire transfers

What's the big deal if I list my disk card for more than you are selling your disk card for. Doesn't that mean a buyer will buy yours first before they purchase mine?

uh, yes, it does.

What's with all the threats? I never threatened anybody here. I just stated the truth about selling anything but I guess it goes against the code of the established group mentality.

---

noone threatened you, they simply warned you about me, the flaming troll of MOTL.. before I came in here and put you in your place. Your so called "truth" of selling is laughable. And it's one only applicable to super high end collectibles, like artwork, or cars, not for something with a massive production run and in circulation dimwit.

quote:

---

If I sell my cards for alot more why would it upset anyone? Don't figure! It just means I don't sell my card for $8.00 and you sell your card for $3.00. Why all the backlash and harshness?

there's no backlash, we're just laughing at an idiot.. psst.. we're not laughing with you.. we are in fact, laughing AT you. what your parents told you as a child to comfort you was a lie.

---

If I produce a list of cards that's over the price guide norm why would anybody get P.O.'d about it and attack my listing? Just makes no sense!

we like to laugh at the idiots who thinks their cards are worth more than they actually are, and seriously.. we generally embarass you out of ever posting another sales thread.. it'd just be more waste of space for our TA/S forum

This is the U.S.A. Anybody can sell whatever they have for whatever price they want to sell it for if they are willing to sit on the item for an extented period of time until someone comes along that wants to pay the asking price.

Having a group of people dictate to you the prices you have to sell at in order to be active on a forum is absurd.

---

Many members here have mentioned the pros and cons about selling at guide value and above guide value and that's great and the American way.

But you "iccarus" and "Gawain" aren't anyones dictators and you two do not control the prices people have to sell their cards at. You two bullying and threatening members on this forum or any other forum is a crock of B.S.

---

no, i am pretty much sure everyone told you selling above guide was a stupid way to try to make a sale.. as for bullying... you think those two are bullying? Wait until you get to the end of this post then... rofl... and btw.. you'd be blasted to bits on ANY forum, that includes (aside from MOTL), mtgsalvation (yes, even there, the level of your stupidity will be blasted, despite the nazi warning happy moderators), wotc community pages, tmd, and every other forum i know of, you'd be on the brink of being laughed into non existance.

I think you're overstating the actual statistics. btw, just for your own information.. you dont have a clue what's some of the rarer or most popular cards.. your arguments thus far, over nevinyrral's disk, and not mentioning anything else, kinda proves it. man o man, there's so many other cards i'd try to argue above price guide, disk would not have been my foundation for this argument.

First of all I need help with the price list here and what all the abbreviations mean. HL, WL, LE, HN, CH, UZ and so on. There's lots of these abbreviations and I'm lost. I would like a list of what all the abbreviations mean on the MOTL price guide so I can elevuate the cards properly.

right, you needed help on the abbrevs, so you would know how to read the price guide... you may now continue arguing how you werent trying to get pricing info..

and we're laughing at you for believing that this card was posted for 8.00, and believing it'd sell. again, as I stated, your parents lied to you, we're not laughing with you.. that was never the case.. from the get go, we were laughing AT you.

what was that old saying? Customer is always right? well, you're the seller.. the other posters here could have been potential customers.. thus, that makes them right.. and you- wrong (obviously, and in the extreme) and actually, this forum is a pretty good sample of world buyers overall.. again, you're just clueless.

let me be the first (after my post) to warn you, as many others already previously has, and many others will.. I am one of the worst flamers this site has ever seen.. was made a mod for it.. feel free to rebutt if you wish.. but I've not come close to pulling out all the guns. if you wish to be bbq'd further.. bring it.

You are correct, none of the people posting are MOTL's dictators. That is because MOTL is a Modocracy However, if it WERE a dictatorship, I would be one of the dictators. Nice to meet you.

I would heed the advice given, you will not sell cards here at much over MOTL price. Those unfortunate people who attempt to do so, end up deleting their threads soon after posting, as they get aggravated by the amount of people who flame their threads.

They were not attempting to order you not to, they were simply warning you, like the good little MOTLers they are.

Perhaps you should think twice about insulting the people who have been here for 8 years or more, people who KNOW this site, and how its members act, and maybe THANK THEM for their advice.

Thanks,
Jazaray

It's nice to meet you also. But I never said I was coming here to sell cards. In fact, I said I had my own sites to sell on and I had two internet friends sites to sell on.

I didn't come here to sell cards I came here looking for what the things on the cards meant. I stated this several times and all these dictators here keep attacking me about pricing. I haven't even come to a conclusion about price, I just mentioned what I found on other sites.

It's no wonder nobody makes purchases of any value from members here. They get attacked all the time if they post a price or said something the established 8 year members don't like.

To bad! Running off potential members by the established group also runs off guests looking to buy. I couldn't trust making a purchase from people that attack me because I mentioned I found the disk card on another site for $8.00,

It's no wonder nobody makes purchases of any value from members here. They get attacked all the time if they post a price or said something the established 8 year members don't like.

To bad! Running off potential members by the established group also runs off guests looking to buy. I couldn't trust making a purchase from people that attack me because I mentioned I found the disk card on another site for $8.00,

Once again, Iccarus and Gawain weren't attacking you, nor trying to order you around, they were simply offering their advice about selling on our forum. Maybe they didn't consider that someone would make a new account on an extremely popular M:TG trading site, JUST to ask what card abbreviations and Guide abbreviations meant.

Also, if you can be run off by our members simply offering advice, you're not going to last very long on ANY forum, much less ours.

We have well over 40,000 members on this site, and get more every single day. People that actually want to use our forums to sell, buy or trade cards. And not just cards either, our Non-Magic section is also quite popular. And then there are those that come here simply because they like to post on our General Discussion forums, a lot of them ex-magic players that have grown up with MOTL. There's quite a family feeling to this site, and I AM MOTL's Mom.

What people are taking exception to, is you coming on here, saying you know NOTHING about MTG and it's value and then insisting that you know better than people who have been selling for YEARS. People who actually know what people will pay for the cards you are talking about. They are not just guessing, as you are, they actually KNOW.

You say you "just mentioned" what you found on other sites. You did, however, they told you that the prices you found on those site depend on more than just having the card. They depend on the condition, the edition, as well as the reputation of the site. The ACTUAL KNOWN reputation, not just them saying "hey, we're good and we promise to send".

Members do not get attacked "all the time" on this site. It's mostly those members who come here asking for assistance and then refuse to heed the advice of those they've come to ask. You didn't have to join our site in order to find the answers to your questions. The answers can be found here:

Or, do you not know how to use google?

Thanks,
