Title: Need y'all's advice on a trade.
Post by: Ieatfood7 on June 25, 2014, 08:50:03 AM
So I'm negotiating a trade, and on paper the numbers look good to me, but over the last day, six people have asked me for the cards I am proposi. To give in this trade. That made me nervous that they are undervalued and the trade is worse than it looks. What do you all think?  I am new to the world of high value trades.

My:
Chrome mox
Blood baron of vozkopa
Ashiok
Xenegos, the Reveler
Vampiric tutor
Demonic tutor
Show and tell
Personal tutor
Mystical tutor

His
Glimpse of nature x4
Regal Force
Cratterhoof behemoth
Progenitus
natural order x2 Portal NM
Abrupt decay

a second trade that I might as well ask about while I'm here is:
My:
Lotus petal
Mother of runes

His:
Breeding pool (Spanish)

These trades are on another site, so no one here is affected by them.

Advice or opinions (or better offers ;) ) are appreciated.

I didn't run the numbers out, but u said the numbers are correct. But I don't see anything wrong with the trade. Plus you are getting all eternal cards, whereas you are trading some of your standard stuff, which is always good. Looks pretty good to me.

As long as the numbers match up, it's all up to you. If you're here to collect and make pretty binders that's that would different than if you were trying to finish a legacy deck and needed the cards. If you can use the cards and the stuff you're trading away is collecting dust, then you should be fine. It's always in the eye of the beholder, they're your cards, value them how you want.

Use a middle man. For large trades this is a must.

There are some extremely helpful and reliable people on here who have agreed to act as escrow service, so for the low price of double postage you are sure to get the cards you traded for or get your end back. Definitely consider this.

Thanks. I am insisting on it. The other guy has only been on that site a few weeks with one prior trade. Hopfully using one of te mods here as a middleman doesn't scare him away. :)

Yeah, also if that falls through I'd love to get that show and tell. Haha.

Side note: I bought 2 judge promo show and tells and they are so sick... The end.

If I decide not to do the reanimator deck you can have first dibs on them. :)
