Plus you cant beat .99 s/h!!!!
Their prices are close to the best i could find and inventory is usually pretty good.

They do get bought out quickly when cards jump in value, but so do most stores.

A few days pass, my card is charged for all. 2 days before shipping, I recieve notice they were only sending 4 Vengevines (which they had them posted at $40 on the site). They said they try to fulfill all preorders regardless of price, and try to get everyone a playset.
Really?
I order 8, you bill me for 8, I pay for 8. Later they jump in price $25 before you ship and oh, now you only get 4. Sounds like Interstate commercial fraud to me.
I won't order from these crooked people again.

SCG - silly prices, but good experience otherwise a time or two.
Capefeargames.com - reasonable prices. Messed up an order one time (shorted me two blackcleave cliffs) and rushed me 4 (not just two) a couple days later. Generally good customer service in my experience.

to be honest with you you got billed for 8 most likely automatically. its not something they had control over. you placed an order on their site, ran your card through for $xx.xx and thats what you got charged. a day or two later they responded with the lessening of the order and most likely refunded your card for the difference. thats not Interstate commerce fraud. thats business. most dealers these days wont let you buy more than a playset or so of certain cards because it looks bad on them to more people if they are always out of certain cards because people wont to try and wreck them for certain cards. also most dealers dont sell to other dealers. I personally dont on my site. Ive had orders come in from channelfireball and smedlock. I just politely refund their money and tell them its against my policy which IS posted on my site.
For instance I had someone try and buy me out of frost titans(30+) right after the japanese deck got hot. I refused to ship them because i knew they were trying to turn a profit on them. I would rather tick off 1 reseller and make 8 other people happy that can now buy a playset of them from me.

That is pretty crappy, unless you were selling them to those other players for the same price (in which case I don't really have a problem with it).

First of all, it's whatever. It's not wrong, you're just unable to rob an online store of their things.

Isn't this kind of hypocritical saying they are only trying to turn a profit when you as a store do the same thing offering lower buy prices then sell prices?

I personally have never refuse a sale once it has been put thru my site or tcgplayer, even when I saw a run on a card and couldn't get mine off or raise the price some on them.

Here is different as a sale isn't final until all info is exchanged so things can change before then. But once a payment is made it's a done deal and anyone who tries to argue against that as someone else trying to make a profit is being quite hypocritical.

ABU Games: First site i shopped at after coming back to magic. Their prices are expected for a store, but they have good customer service and I've always received my cards quickly. I've sold to them in the past as well and those transactions were flawless.

I have had no problems with ABU's grading.

Whenever I came back to magic last year I was looking to unload some cards that increased in value since I had stopped playing. I traded a couple of lots into ABU to get some of the new cards available. I think I've traded to them 3 times and bought from them a handful more.

I'm an honest grader and they seem to agree. I had no problem selling them cards and have always received the amount agreed upon through their site.

Also, because you get 25% extra in store credit you can get some nice change for cards. I traded them a Stifle a while ago and got around 18$ (which is about what it was to buy).

I buy a limited selection of older items, and you're unlikely to have that problem with new cards (where the majority of the population is truly NM), but generally I'm willing to pay more for Starcity's SP than ABU's NM.
