Part of me would like to mail out 1x Clifftop Retreat to everyone, but I'll eat it for my mistake and just be a little bit bitter for awhile. I thanked the one guy and he's already getting a 50% discount on Clifftop Retreats, so I'm reluctant to give him an additional break.

Also, I got this today:

Winning bidder:

The description indicated four copies of the card so I knew what I was bidding on. My intention is to complete the transaction as such.

That is what Ari Lax did at the GP.

The other day I had a Fencing Ace with triple Ethereal Armor. A 10/10 double striker. The Selesnya Charm giving it +2/+2 and trample was the icing on the cake.

Wouldn't there be a paypal dispute in that case?

Those disputes normally don't side favorably with sellers.

Meh, title says one thing description another...and my whole point on that was the guys attitude...the whole oh well I know I'll win....just makes me not want to send him anything is all..

Any case, things like this are why you double and triple check before posting...

FWIW, those people should have pointed or asked and inquired about what it really was. I've emailed about discrepancies. They actually happen!

You could always say you typo'd the 4 and that you only have one for each action. But then again, seeing as how I had that happen to me and I understood it (but wasn't terribly happy) but I understood it.

Perhaps, but I think that most of them knew exactly what was happening and didn't want to rock the boat. If they point out the mistake, I might fix it and they lose a chance to pick up cards on the cheap.

It's a moot point now as they're mailed out and I'm just going to place all the blame on myself for not double and triple checking each of the auctions. I was trying to sell about 50 cards all at once and hastily went through creating the auctions. Add on the fact that the eBay form was giving me the same error every time, requiring me to fill out the information twice and my patience grew very thin very quickly. Still, I should have gone back and made sure everything was correct and the eBay representative did have a point that maybe the format I used leaves me open to this kind of problem and I'd be better off making the quantity available in the auction four, rather than selling a set of four.

I sent out an e-mail to all the buyers that it was a mistake, but one isn't saying anything and two are holding me to the set of four explicitly.

If companies can back out of selling cards with no consequence, don't understand why you couldn't. Nonetheless props to being a great guy.

Not saying I would reneg given your situation. For all practical purposes, lets consider the auction described with the 1) title, 2) a picture, 3) the description. If all 3 match up I think it's clear cut. If you list 1 clifftop and have a picture of 4, and the description is a 1 (which I've won many auctions knowing i'd get one card...) then that's fairly easy. Having the title and the picture match and the description not matching implies that you made a mistake in my opinion, or the picture would contain four cards.

This was my pauper deck. I think Frantic Search is now banned or something. It was fun to play while I had it.

But I developed the UG version that used a ton of land enchantments.

I then developed the esper version with the Familiars, still using Temporal Fissure as the win condition.

So, you can thank me for the banning of Frantic Search.

The deck still works though, with that avacyn restored card that flickers two creatures or whatever.

You're a stand-up guy... and yeah being one can suck when you make an error, but you have karma on your side for owning your mistake.

It sucks, I know, but I guess you can just chalk it up as being a "life-lesson".

Once again though, I commend you for just biting the bullet. Who wants a bunch of negative feedback anyways? Anymore on eBay you have to pretty much have 100% positive and give the buyer a reach-around to be on their good side.

I'd rather not deal with negative feedback and claims and disputes through eBay/Paypal, so I'll just go back to doing things one at a time and more slowly.

Thanks. At first I thought more around 25%-30%, given that I'd do everything from listing/grading/pricing to shipping and accounting, and hand them the cash afterwards. Still, it's their cards too. I'll see what they think about this.

for some reason the one here is $45 and the prize payout won't be RtR product but "good" Modern cards which haven't been specified yet.

pretty sure everyone would rather have a $100 box than $100 in retail worth of singles.

Sounds like a shady TO.

Kansas City last weekend was $30 entry, payouts in RTR to 5-2 and higher.

I was expecting him to be somewhat reasonable and charge double MSRP plus tax (which still would be over $170). I'm genuinely upset that they did this.

Closest store was starting them at $250, so I feel you pain.

I've pretty much written off this product as something I'm not going to have. I might seek out a couple of the single cards, but I will be no means actively going after them.
