Oh, that's right... They live on MTGS and are selfish morons who spend $50 pre-ordering Jace v.3, but weren't smart enough to pre-order Tarmogoyfs for $2.

But hey, we need these guys to help support this awesome game. So I will gladly share this game with them.

meh, maybe its just me but beyond those the list starts to become increasingly less interesting. Forces are poor and a language no one wants, pact of negation has the language issue, maybe bobs are neat, you have no good fetches that I see.... I have a decent amount of your wants, but since there isn't anything of equal value that I find interesting (and I likely mean liquid), if I were to make and offer, I'd be looking to trade up. That's at least how I see it.

---

Its not the fact that people want the bazaars or duals, its the fact that they say "I have these i want your bazaars" instead of making an offer. I don't know what peoples expectations are for trading up.

Maybe i should just always assume that's what they are offering me. So if they post $400 in other cards and say i want your bazaars, that's their offer for one bazaar.

If I have a bunch of stuff that you want, and you only have a couple of the big cards that I want, I rather give you a list so you can pick and choose whatever you want.

Problem I've had in the past is I'll get something like this, make an offer i feel is fair and get someone having a spazz because they value things differently.

With the collection i have I'm never in a hurry to move things that's why my last 2 deals for big cards have ended up going to the same person for cash.

If I didn't get 2 weeks paid vacation where I work, and the money in one lump sum on my hire date, it would take me 6 months or so just to pick up a playset if Goyfs.

I'm unemployed right now, so it'd take infinite months for me to afford the Ferrari that I want. I really want them to reprint Ferraris so I can afford them. Wow, see how lame that is...

Once again, the "they" whom you are referring to are selfish and feel entitled to have every card easily. I just don't see how reprints on the scale they want help the game at all.

---

No. Having the money to buy these cards doesn't put you in an elite club that you should feel proud to be in and try to exclude everyone else from. What's good for the game is for people to actually play and be able to play competitively. The more people that play and the more active the game is, the better the game is doing, even if it hurts you individually or hurts the people who think they're awesome solely by virtue of owning a $320 set of Tarmogoyfs that others can't afford. You can disagree with wanting them reprinted all you want, but you need to man up and admit that you're being just as selfish as they are in not wanting them reprinted, instead of insulting them and thinking you're better than them for whatever reason.

Ferrari analogy is so completely irrelevant it's not even funny.

I dunno what the big deal is..its supply and demand...if the cards got out of enough people's price range, they would be 50% less...but people are able and willing to pay the higher prices so that is why they are what they are

---

It doesn't matter how many people CAN pay the higher prices as long as there's an appreciable number that can't. If you have 60% people that can afford these $1000 decks and you have 40% that can't, then you only have 60% of the Magic population playing competitively in tournaments. That is not as good for the game as 100% of the Magic population playing competitively (as long as they want to, obv).

Just because YOU can't pay them doesn't mean it is bad
