With the new expansion coming out I am looking to order stuff in the U.S. where is the place I can get the best bang for my buck?
Any of the big MTG retailers (Starcitygames, Cardkingdom) are fine.
If you're wanting to get the biggest bang for your buck, though, I would pick up 4x uncommon/common playsets of eBay. Very cost effective and very cheap.
I have considered that, but I would just miss all of the booster opening excitement.
If you live in a * country like the UK, you risk being charged VAT and duty.
I know, right?! It's like they want you to support local card vendors or something. 😉

He gets enough of my money and I always ask him if he will match the deals I find before I order

Sadly, smaller places just can't compete with volume sellers online. Now, if I think a local is overcharging for something, I'll get it elsewhere. ðŸ"«
Hes a good guy fair prices and takes care of me sometimes but when it's a difference of $30 plus I have to do what's best for me. But I go to drafts and bring more people with me

I agree. I'm buying my first common/uncommon playset on eBay! Booster packs are eating up too much of my money.

I don't buy packs except draft night. I'll save my money then buy a box
Well, some of my nefarious plans have yielded some returns, so I'll be getting a box an a Fatpack. I live the smell of booster packs in the morning. They smell like... victory. ðŸ'£
They keep packing more and more into the FatPacks!

No luck. Distributors aren't allowed to sell sealed product outside of US. î
I would maybe use Craigslist/eBay.

Figured. I'll just stick with my guy. He cuts me decent deals and I like supporting the home-team.
