I just won a {tropical island} for $4 and am now looking to move it. I do have to wait for it to arrive, but I would like to work out some details if anyone is interested in it. I prefer to go through lists for this, as I am trying to use this to aid in rebuilding a collection and getting back into the trading part of Magic first. If anyone is looking for one, I will have one, if you would like image of it I will have them as well and I can send them via email.
In case anyone was wondering how I won it, I'll explain that as well:
There is a form of buying and selling MTG cards online called "razzing." Razzing is a fancy word for raffling. Basically someone lists a card for full tcg player value (of card condition) and chooses a number of slots (raffle tickets) to divide it up to, i.e.: My THS {thoughtseize}. 20 slots, $2/slot. Now people purchase slots by sending money through paypal to the seller. You post the number of slots you want (you can even chose exactly what slots if it matters to you, and they're available). Once all the slots are full, an admin will go and videotape the list of names being run through a list randomizer multiple times (# is determined by videotaped digital dice roll). Whoever's name is on top once the list has been randomized that many times, wins the auction. I bought 1 ticket out of 40 for it, and I won.
If you've read this far, you may be seriously interested, so theres one additional piece of info, it doesnt have to be a tropical island. This specific razz was a choice razz and I have the option to chose between a revised LP front, MP back tropical island, a NM Gaea's cradle and KtK Polluted Delta, or a NM Mana crypt. those are my three choices and I have yet to chose
This sounds illegal o.o;
But congrats! I'd definitely nab that nm cradle 😉
I'm trying to move whatever I pick up, so if there's any interest at all from anyone, lmk.
I want another Cradle! Idk of I have enough of my soul left to get it though lol.
I want everything.
Super interested job the trop. My listed haves are woefully incomplete, I have tons of value if trade for it. What kind of stuff are you looking for?
Is there a website that you go to, as this seems kinda sketchy.

This is a Facebook page with established online traders. It's similar to stuff like randomizing repacks online. It's a small group of traders that have been part of a couple other Facebook trading sites for a while. There are some dealers on the site as well, as its a good way for them to move product they haven't been able to move as well and still get value for it.
Want the trop! Or the cradle!
