Like, let's take his pricing guide aside (which he wants $1700 for..)

A) I don't think he can get $1700 for his c/uc's.. I think it's pushing $500..

B) Even if it is $500, it's going to take forever to get that..

C) Aside from sol rings and a few $1-2 uncommons, everything else is 0.1-0.5..

So would it out of line to really offer like.. $0 when buying a whole collection like that? Like.. maybe $100 max?

saw this on that page

"Blee and Stu

Im not white lion games or strikezone. this is MOTL. I used OUR price guide to help price stuff. from OUR price guide.

Doom Blade (M10), 0.25
Doom Blade (M11), 0.25
Doom Blade (M12), 1.03
Acidic Slime (M10), 0.40
Acidic Slime (M11), 0.47
Acidic Slime (M12), 0.36

I had them both at $.25 each well under what our guide says theyre worth(most of the doom blades ARE m12). "

Bet it's BS, way for him to save face, that or it wasn't a dealer...

Am I missing something? Is he selling just the 3 oversized generals? He has an English photo and is saying they are Japanese.

O bids at a .99 start. It may be shady but I find it confusing on what you are even bidding for and I think that is the issue.

I think stu55 means to imply that malackei is fishing for suckers to bid on his auction of worthless stuff. Why else would anyone bother posting those things up?

Sorta how I felt about it. Stuff is clearly stated in the title.

Figured maybe buying feedback or something.

I've been digging through their T&C, but can't seem to find anything about it....

are you allowed to have multiple Ebay accounts? If so, are they required to be one personal one business, or does it matter. If you can have two, can they be linked to the same paypal account?

Todd grew up in alabama. You draw your own conclusions there.

Wescoe's recent articles have been pretty crappy, and his latest "DA financial predictions" is full of errors regarding to card mechanics.

A week ago, the local employee noted that they had ordered a couple boxes of Dark Ascension for the prerelease, and when I asked about the Innistrad they said that none was ordered because it should be all Dark Ascension. I explained that it was not a valid format, and that we had a few people planning on going to GP Seattle, we really should be playing the proper format so that we can get some experience. I had a box and a half or so of Innistrad, so offered to provide it to do things right. Yesterday at FNM, I confirmed that they ordered 3 boxes and got the extra box from WotC. I discussed things and we reached an agreement to charge players $25, and I would get $10 for my 3 packs of Innistrad and they would get $15 for their 3 packs of Dark Ascension, and set up a prize payout that would have used only the free box, because 36 packs for an estimated 8 players seemed pretty good. This morning, before the event, the employee and I talked, and he said that I should take in all of the money, then once we started, I would give him the $15 per player. A couple paid with credit cards, so I ran $10 each from my Square account and then they ran $15 at the store for the rest.

Fast forward to late in round 2.

The store employee picks up all of the prerelease promos (I always give them out at the end with the rest of the prizes) and all Dark Ascension packs that were not given out in card pools. I was then informed that the free box would be sent back along with the promos to WotC, the sister store would sell the remaining Dark Ascension after release day, and there would be no further Magic events there ever.

Depending on who I talked to, either the guy at the sister store told the local employee that it couldn't be done the way that we did it before I ever arrived this morning or nothing was communicated to him at all. Either way, I most certainly was never once told that it wouldn't be okay or I absolutely would have worked something out to make sure that the owners were happy. Instead, we're left with a lot of people who ended up paying $25 for 3 packs of Innistrad and 3 packs of Dark Ascension and a promo card that was smuggled to each of us from the local employee. Needless to say we have a lot of very unhappy players, and it was even suggested at one point from the store people that prizes should come out of my own pocket since it was my fault that it all came to this.

Apart from the report to WotC that I will be filing, any suggestions on how to handle this issue? I have no access to any promos or anything to try and soften the blow for the locals who overpaid, but don't know what else I can do other than digging pretty deep into my own stash for compensation.

Their problem is this shop is run/owned by twats, nitwits, nincompoops, and other words that arent PG-13. Ive heard a bunch of horror stories from nder about the place, and it wouldnt surprise me if the owners thought 'Nder is screwing us over and stealing our moniez'.

Most businesses realize you have to HAVE stock before you can sell it and profit. This place would rather not spend money on stock, and consider the money saved 'profit', from what i can gather. So the idea of buying 3 boxes and only selling 1-2 immediately would be a HUGE disaster.

You need to talk to the owners about further events and explain the structure so there will be no confusion in the future since the current employees don't have any clue how they are supposed to be run. It almost seems that they are pulling shenanigans to get some extra pocket money. Although they're most likely just oblivious to prize payout why would he take all the pre-release promos? I thought WotC sent those to specifically be handed out.
