Does anyone use coolstuffinc.com? If not, which company do you use?

I just use TCGPlayer since it gives you a huge range of shops and prices.  Occasionally StarCity if I have credit there from Judging, but otherwise I use TCG and my LGS.

I live in Australia so I don't qualify for super saver discount on tcgplayer. So postage is too expensive. I've found channelfireball is the cheapest postage so i get most of my stuff from them. Occasionally I'll buy from mtgmintcard,com. But they don't have as much older stuff. If a couple of friends want to do a joint order with me we will split the postage from star city, but even then it's pretty expensive to ship to Australia.

And eBay is great too. The cheapest:)

I hate amazon.. Had a bunch of trouble with buying on there before.
But remember all of these can be lost in the mail:/

I use TCGplayer, because of the wide range of stores. If I discover that most of my stuff is coming from Empire Cards, then I'll buy directly from them (due to customer rewards, such as free shipping, free packs)...

I found tcgplayer to be cheaper but I could rarely find a single seller with all the cards I needed. Coolstuff will have every card, usually with a bit more expensive price tag, but I only have to place a single order. That generally means I save on shipping and on tons of time searching for cards. Plus cool stuff gives sizeable rewards for returning customers after a few years worth of orders.

I use tcg player and sell to either cool stuff or channel fireball.  Depending on who gives me more money. It flip flops back and forth.

I never sell my stuff.  I hoard them like Smaug hoards dwarven gold!  Muwhaha

Me never I almost did. I've read online. Either great or awful no middle. I believe the person complaining was suggesting they were searching there packs.

Personally I like alter reality in Ohio or card kingdom for sealed stuff. But always check eBay I find them the least expensive. I never buy bunches of singles so I can't help you out there.

I think T&T was better before TCG

It just kind of fell off the last few years

I've used them for awhile now, not for everything because I support my LGS, but sometimes they have great prices on the stuff I'm looking for at the moment. Orders over 10$ qualify for 99 cent shipping too.

I've used eBay, tcg, coolstuffinc.com, trollandtoad.com, and miniaturemarket.com  all to buy magic cards and other gaming items.  @ coolstuffinc.com I'm at level 7 so I get 10% off singles and 3% off everything else.

Knock on wood I have never been burned.  I suggest looking at eBay seller reviews.  It is easy to see who makes a living selling stuff and won't risk their reputation

I think he men's he spends a lot of money there and does to want to look to see how much, nor look and see what's available lest he burn more money there...
