Title: Money money money
Post by: Nepentheceae on April 13, 2013, 02:37:40 PM
So my friend bought 2 modern masters for 400$ on eBay. He wants to sell 1 I said I'd buy 1. Then he says "nah what if the price goes up"
So I said I'd pay 300$,100$ more then he paid for it. He said what if it goes up to 400$ I said we'll that sucks for whoever wants to pay for that. Does anyone else HATE when people do this ?? GRRR >.<

It's reasons like this my buddies and I stopped having poker nights. Friends and money don't always mix well.

Why not just preorder a box from eBay yourself?  They're still available for about $200.  Why pay $300?

Your friend does sound like he's being a douche about it though.

You can always do what I do - instead of money, have everyone get a big plate of snacks. Use your snacks as your bets instead of chips/money. Still get to play poker, still fun, and no money issues. Plus you get the comical situations of
"I'm in. I bet...three Doritos and a chips ahoy."
"I see your Doritos, see your chips ahoy with my thin mint, and raise you...six Oreos."
"Fold."
"Fold."
"Fold."

Do y'all think modern masters is really going to be worth it?

Are you DJ from the tv show Roseanne. They did that at the start of the show.

I've actually never watched Roseanne. That's pretty funny! My brother, a couple friends of ours and I came up with the idea when we were kids.

As for modern masters... It could potentially be worth it. We already know {Tarmagoyf} will be there if you're lucky, and staples like {Kitchen Finks} will surely be there. It will be pretty packed with value.

I think Mark Rosewater (head designer at wizards) was on Roseanne. Could be wrong though

He wrote for Season 4 of Roseanne.

Most notably: "Take my bike, please" and "Vegas, Vegas" to which he's credited as the lead writer.

He told a story in one of his podcasts about how he asked Roseanne and Tom Arnold for more money since the show was doing so well, and they cussed him out and fired him.

Which reminds me. There hasn't been a new Drive to Work in a month :(

Shinfo.

Well I guess it's for the better, he's certainly doing better since.

Also, "Planar Chaos" podcast came out on the 5th.

Maaaan that's bunk. #25 Homelands is the last one showing up, and I refresh and try to add episodes and is still saying that's the latest. However I did a manual search and #26-28 is showing up. Get it together, iTunes.
