meanwhile, one of my old aim screennames was phyrexianrampage. ever since, ive wished that wizards would make that card. this block was the perfect place for such a card. maybe a sorcery.. gives infect creatures +1/+1 until end of turn. thatd be awesome.

no, scribbling some sharpie on a card does not make it "altered". Additionally it does not provide the card any additional value. People are dumb.

Made 2 playsets of the regular alien in ''Alien'' (The movie) Magma Spray when it was standard and some dude bought them for 50$ (only 1 set) and I gave the other set to a friend who loves alien movies :P

it depends. If you wait long enough on ebay before using that account all those auction details aren't available any longer, just the feedback. If you started an account w/ ~5k+ fake feedback and let it sit for a while then started legitimately using the account you would likely pull in higher sell numbers. Its sad thats the way the system works on ebay.

That's good, no more BS shipping costs to avoid their fees.

That's bad. It will create an equilibrium where sales prices are now higher by 9% of the shipping cost, is all.

Using high shipping costs to get around the fees is a good way to lower the price of goods. I've done it lots of times to sell items I would not otherwise even bother listing.

I have no sympathy for buyers who are incapable of adding two numbers that are clearly displayed. Hey, if a good is nine dollars and shipping is thirty, the price of the good is 39 dollars, end of story. It is completely meaningless how much I'm paying for "shipping" or "sales price."

So glad you read ebay rules - this is a big policy violation.

Nothing new. Been that way for a while.

I believe the current 'free' listings are 100 99c auction-type listings and 50 any price auction/BIN auctions per calendar month.
