I just came back to the site after about 2 years to get some of my extra cards sold. I have loved using it since hearing of it around 17 years ago in getting reasonable trades and card pricing. I hope the site can be restored as typing in the old www.magictraders.com goes nowhere now.

Yup. Big problem. Need to use google to even find this place. I wonder how many people assume the forums don't exist anymore.

They pretty much don't. The last time I sold some cards, it was on Facebook. Some people pay pretty good prices in the misprint group. I sold 2 Summer commons and with a little bit of savings bought a couch and a recliner for the living room. Turns out, they're way more comfortable for sitting on than the commons... __________________ Everyone you meet is going through something * BoltBait is the official holder of the MOTL Logout Button [Trades] [Rules] [FAQ] [Prices] [Card Searches] [Tools] [WotC] [Dominoes] [Art] [#MOTL Chat] [Logout]

Nice! I remember when summer basics would pop up for sale here from time to time for like $20-30, much like Gurus. Back in the dark ages. **sigh** __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.

Trading is awful. I'd rather buy than have to worry about some dude trying to nickle and dime me. I used to love trading, it was fun! Also, I make it a point not to deal with hooskdaddy on Facebook groups because of that fiasco. Side note, can anyone explain the purpose of trading at tcg mid when cash price is typically 10% below tcg low? All you're doing is getting screwed hard if you're trading down. Smart phones killed MOTL, I think. This post is a pain in the ass to type from my iPhone. If there was an MOTL app... that probably would have been better. If I'm super intent on getting Leshrac to sign a letter bomb, should I just send it to him where he works? That worked for Richard Garfield... __________________ *My LJ*Letter Bombs!*FB*Logout- MM is a copycat! (So am I)*CKGB

I haven't received any Counterspells from Jeff in quite some time. Slacking.

Where do people trade online now, or do they mostly just buy and sell. I remember when trading was bigger than selling. Any help would appreciated. Send me a pm.

its been a while since i traded, either online or in the real world...No one wants to really trade- at least not for things that aren't super-high end.

I was just thinking the other day about when I went to Origins in 2004, and Summer commons were at most $5 apiece. I spent nearly $300 on Italian Legends boosters that weekend. If I'd have bought those commons instead I'd have easily made 30x my money. Well, maybe not. I did trade my Tabernacle for a card whose value did not increase exponentially, and now it's the only damn card I need. But my car also died and I can't get both. __________________ *My LJ*Letter Bombs!*FB*Logout- MM is a copycat! (So am I)*CKGB

Still here, eh? Sad it's dying/dead. I was able to build up a great collection(most of which I sold for cheap enough that it still bothers me), twice. Thanks MOTL.

You are talking about the site as if it is dead and buried already. Oh, wait,...

So who is paying the bills to keep this site running? Is Leshrac still doing that? I strongly dislike using ebay for cards that dont sell well on EU/MCM but I guess thats the route to go since MOTL is dead but not yet buried it seems :P I had ton of good deals here and greatly appreciate all the work mods have done here and big thumbs up for the community in general.

here's a silly thought, how about we open up a free Slack channel? Set up in minutes, tons of features, worth a shot if this ship is sinking anyway. __________________ WWW.DAVIDWIELAND.NL The complete Shandalar topic

Oh man.. Was NightDog there? He might as well have been, I honestly can't remember... Feels like a lifetime ago This reunion has somewhat reminiscent of the few remaining penguins on a melting ice floe :/ __________________ WWW.DAVIDWIELAND.NL The complete Shandalar topic
