I went to your h/w list and I know exactly why you're having problems:

1) Half of your list is uncommons. Unless you're listing cards like Sensei's Divining Top or Standstill or Enlightened Tutor, uncommons aren't worth listing. At BEST, people will ignore them and go straight to the rares (althought the way you alternate between rares and uncommons makes his very difficult to do) and more likely, people will see your list is full of uncommons and hit the "back" button ASAP. You should remove all the uncommons from your list.

2) The other half of your list are crappy rares. Now and then you have a card worth more than a dollar (Abeyance, Serum Powder, Lotus Petal, Breakthrough, Lightning Helix, Secluded Glenn), but the vast majority of it is bulk rares. Your bolded (highly valued?) cards on your have list aren't very notable. Usually, it's not even worth it to list rares that are worth less than 50 cents.

3) On your want list, you have some exceedingly high valued cards that are very sought after. Jitte, Vindicate, Wasteland, FOIL Ravnica dual lands, Mox Diamond, Vampiric Tutor, Workshop, etc. You are NEVER going to get these cards for the cards in your collection.

Tough love time: if you offered every single card on your have list for an Underground Sea, no one would take you up on it.

Even if you got rid of all the high-priced cards and were just trying to get Sphinx of Jwar Isle and Mind Funeral and Avalanche Riders, people would still likely be hesitant to spend the money to ship cards if it's not worth the postage.

If your goal really is to build up to hundreds of dollars of cards again... well, you need hundreds of dollars or hundreds of dollars of cards to trade to get them. You state you don't want to trade away 4 Metalworkers for a bunch of $2 rares, but then you want people to do the same thing for you, in reverse. Do you not see the problem in this?

Ah, I see. You didn't seem to be the kind who would find that sort of play offensive anyhow

Also, Yak's signature is now my favorite.

One more question for help, anyone good with resumes care to give mine a look over and see if it is decent, wondering if it is that and not my actual skills that causing the job hunting annoyance.

I'm the manager of a store so I guess I would qualify to check your resumé Send it my way and I'll point you the flaws/good things.

Wish I knew how to make a resume. *shrug*

Thanks,

Chrome does that for me, but meh...refreshing only takes a second or two anyway.

Its more annoying when new posts don't show up in my h/w thread, and they belong to other people and I miss them sometimes when I don't refresh.

also..comon, google?

How silly of me to confuse the Book of Mormon with the Book of Mormon.

Have you seen that TV show Pizza Wars? I think that's the name. Anyway, just another reality show where they act like lunitics and try to sabotage each others shop.

I'm sorry, I don't care what ApathyHouse says, Ruthless Cullblade and Vampire Lacerator are THROWINS, not 31 and 27 cent cards like ApathyHouse thinks they are.

Thats just insulting when people offer throwins that are recent commons, to boost their side of the trade by $2.30; not cool and I'm extremely disappointed in that person.

In more happy news:

Anyone seen Transformers 3 yet?

I'm getting ready to sell an NES game on eBay to a buyer in Germany. This will be the first time I've sent international on there, and I know you have to fulfill certain conditions to prove shipping as a seller. What should I be looking for when I go to the post office, priority + registered or something else?

It all depends on the item's value and what the buyer is willing to pay for shipping costs.

The customs number on the declaration slip is trackable to a point.

How much did the game sell for?

Im on a motorcylce yea, I'm on a motorcycle yea, and i'm goin fast ya, i got a honda bike theme pass me a gas can.

etc...stupid song
