After the phone call, it seems that she had no idea that I was selling cards, but also had no idea that the local store wasn't selling Magic, and since the local guys have always said that she was the one who said they couldn't order anything, I suspect someone's going to be in a ton of trouble, and it's not me. Both her and I were on the same page, and I apologized for the trouble that was caused, and she seemed very satisfied that I was not the source of issues, and she's going to work with the person who actually requested my head on a stick and I'm likely going to continue running the local events. Once that's confirmed, I will be asking to work directly with her so that there's no issues with stuff like this in the future.

That's not what I am talking about. If the store has the packs you are drafting, you should buy them from your LGS and not buy them elsewhere and bring them into their store to draft. If they don't have the packs for sale, you should ask the owner if it is ok to draft your own packs.

It is the same with singles. It is one thing to buy a card from a player if the store doesn't have it in stock. It is just being a cheap jerk to buy a card the store has in stock to save a few dollars and then turn around and use their play space.

You guys must have crappy stores where you're at. I'm not familiar with stores that don't carry a large variety of singles and packs. I wouldn't call a store that doesn't a LGS.

Why would a store carry a large variety of singles and packs just to have them stay on the shelves for long periods of time?

Whether or not my LGS wants to be great according to your criteria has nothing to do whether it's a bad store or not. The community is just not here to support that level of commitment from a LGS.

Well, since you are being ignored

02/20!

Anyone ever deal with them? I WOULD LOVE TO GET a custom playmat...the MTG ones are boring.

Either way, seems like an awesome premise.

I highly suggest a guy named "Boonie" who does playmats. You can check his facebook here:

https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Custom-Playmats-by-Tom-Gartin/123202904371858

Hopefully this is allowed. You can see his pieces of work in his photos. Some excellent stuff if you ask me.

RULES:

1) God rule applies
2) I only accept Paypal, you pay any fees associated with that if you choose non personal/gift/etc.
3) I only ship registered, no exceptions. I ship from Italy.
4) Shipping expenses are on you, I will determine the amount once the cards are agreed upon (I will charge the exact shipping/packing price, no more)
5) If you need any card that is not listed here, expecially italian cards, just ask
6) Prices are negiotiable depending on volumes
7) Scans on request for high value cards only
8) You will pay first, then I will ship and will give you the appropriate tracking number

Thanks!

Also this new set blows but the cards will always be overpriced due to it being a last set mid year.

Curse my optimism. I officially quit as the local TO once I talked to another one of the managers who seems to be convinced that I'm making things up and that I wasn't really directly told by one employee that I could sell cards as long as the local store didn't, and I really am stupid enough that I'm going to openly sell cards at the store knowing that I'm not allowed to when there's a fricking camera that the other store can use any time to see me doing it. We apparently also disagree that as the local TO, I have the right to decide that if everyone pays $25 to enter a tournament, I can choose to split the prize packs so that everyone walks away with something.

On the other hand, I also know now that their store gives out their FNM promos to the top 4 players every week, rather than handing out 2 of them randomly as required, they held not 1 but 2 prerelease events when I'm fairly sure that they are only a Core level store, and both of those events were done with all Dark Ascension, not Innistrad. If the local players choose to not continue to play at this store, I'm thinking that WotC might be interested in that information.

Buy a multi-rental commercial building. That way you can run a store while the rent his paid by the other renters

Sadly, I'm not rolling in money to afford such a purchase, and the bank sure as hell isn't going to lend me that kind of money.

On the other hand, there is now nothing preventing me from continuing to buy cases online and sell packs locally regardless of if the store decides to sell Magic or not, and I can undercut them easily, just as long as I do so away from the store. I am also looking into helping bring a game store into town that I know is reliable and will do things right. It'll all come out fine in the end, I think.

How about this for a local store?

Turns out they have been keeping prize product for pre-releases to sell, among other things like not running Gamdays, and just keeping the cards, canceling FNM's mid run, etc...

For the Pre-release, 23 people, 21 packs giving out to top 4....

If you haven't bought the phone yet, there's still time to make the right choice and go Android!

Hopefully that version will be out soon, so I can replace a couple that I have downloaded for various uses.

yah, collation might be a tad odd in this set. Guy pulled 2 sorins in 2 packs. Something is odd for sure. I think you got lucky. IMO Huntsmaster might be the second best rare/mythic in this set. Time will tell.

A few people on Librarities have said the same thing about collation.
