Actually, you are one of the best on the site. I am very happy that we continued to talk. Dory is amazing as usual, doing her thing to make unhappy dogs happy! She is the therapy dog for the dogs at the rescue I got her from. She continues to teach us daily about dog behavior. I hope to return to Holland someday soon and knocking back a few with ya!

Long live MOTL!

**oops forgot one ALL HAIL KING DAVE!


That'd be great! You'd be more than welcome to down a few .
Glad to hear the dog is doing great, bring her along by all means.

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...

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**

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...

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.

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,...

Incidentally, next weekend marks 20 years that I started playing MtG.

Maybe it's time to move on. I still haven't figured it out tbh.

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.

What was it, Mirrodin pre-release in Utrecht? With Nightdog?

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 :/
