How much for one ?
Look I didn't Divide shhhh
If only I could find five people who'd want to pay $50,- each for a great draft experience...
What are your shipping rates?
Quote from: Taysby on April 02, 2016, 02:18:50 PM
My rates are broken it looks like. Forgot we didn't handle shipping for larger items. I found someone willing to buy all 18 for $15 with free shipping. Anyone want to beat that offer?
Sure 20 bucks
Quote from: Taysby on April 02, 2016, 02:56:39 PM
So you'll pay $20 a piece? (That's what I meant.
Oh :( not what I thought.
My playgroup has wanted to draft Unhinged for ages. Highly unlikely but interested.

It's kinda hard to get these
Yeah. I know they're quite rare.
Everyone is saying it's too steep. So I'll have to pass.

It's taysbys lack of businesa ethic. He sees it as a math problem to be sold, not forum mates to share in a game that we solely care about.
Business ethic is two willing sides exchanging goods. Is there any other business ethic you speak about, like a group of people bullying one side to give up their wealth for the benefit of the larger group? That is not business though, that is democracy.

Lol how true :D See, I believe order is more important than time :D

No that was ethics.
Ok so it was the lama then? As I was talking pure ethics too.

Yes you are, this is free Trading forum.
I only 10 days ban people in Misc Discussion forum when they continuously post scientifically disproven crap in discussions about .politics. in which I participate. Or am I not?

Sounds like .politics. to me.
We've been discussing it. Haven't figured anything out, they're for sure interested just not sure if they can afford it. Basically what's the lowest you'd move them for? Our Canadian dollar is hurting and shipping is not cheap.
Lol that descalated quickly.

what you describe is simply a strong arming, while yes it is one form of business... what about the type where two friends help each oher out on a mutual deal? We came to the forum for community, not to mob. (But undoubtedly that seems to be what it turns to ) Taysby is starting up a business, I was simply talking about that je ne sais pas that would bring more people to his business. My father rus a business at a liquor store, does he give crazy discounts to his friends 24/7? No. But does he offer discounted liquor because nobody likes when somebody hoards and tries to gouge pricing. My terminology of "ethic" may have been wrong and for that and I apologize.... but if Taysby wants a successful business in a game that is heavily influenced by a community and word of mouth then he merely needed some advice. You guys went all crazy and jumped the democracy gun. You took it out of preportion haha
Bravo sir
Everything of value as a salesman is worthless until sold.
Trying to maximize your profit sometimes ends up hurting you at times if the item isn't hot.
I usually sell below tcg low so that my customers cannot argue with prices. I have the lowest price on the Internet that people can commonly find.
As a buyer: I want the best deal, you're asking on a gamble per pack; you also try to entice your buyer saying no foil lands have been opened. That being said; 14 per pack, and how much does an unhinged full art go for? The value and the gamble seem off
Sell me a zendikar or a future sight pack and we can talk

As much as I hate to agree with taysbe he has set his price similar to other prices found on the Internet. But also that is why they are still readily available at that price. But I agree with you it's a crappy gamble unless they have other high value cards I don't know of.

I basing my business off the fact I have no control over my prices. ;)
False. You always have control. The market may change which you base your card sales over, but in this instance you are selling packs of unhinged cards which you are not.
We haven't found a solution for pack prices yet. all the singles i have no control over.
You control the website that shows the price? Then by the transitive property you control the price.
We are going around in circles here. Taysby, you do control your prices. Just because you use a pricing structure that automatically updates based on an arbitrary external event doesn't mean that you don't control your prices. It simply means that you choose to base your prices on something else. Saying you have no control over them is ludicrous.

Try this mental experiment: replace (person) with (their statement) and suddenly you will have no issue agreeing with it, if it is true. Works every time!

Except I literally can't change them. I've seen the code.
So why not get another system that allows you to custom price everything?
I guess I don't understand when people try to compete with price spikes; making a sale where you already profited, to gain X% by new price spikes, you may not even get the sale, and I say this because if you're on the net mainly, everyone has other options. A lgs can easily charge mid because they have a storefront and little competition.
I sell online and I normally just price at below tcg low, I want my items to liquidate or trade up into legacy/eternal staples that's only will grow in value (Thalia promo!).
Locally I found a lot of players love the - partial trade partial cash. Online is a little harder for that of course, but you did say you'd be buying cards also
The basics of profiting on wholesale like this is pretty easy. Profit = Sold price - bought price - taxes - storage. As such, you're pretty much free to pick your price anywhere from where bought price + taxes < sold price.
Taysby, you as the seller set the price you value the item at, the buyer decides wether he thinks the item is worth that price. Transaction happens, you liquidize your profit. Until then, your profit is merely virtual. Yes, you can check what others sell their stuff for, but you don't HAVE to.
Say you acquired a Black Lotus early '93 when you bought a pack of Alpha for $2,- anything over $2,- you fetch for the lotus is profit. (Assuming you haven't paid taxes or costs for storage over it). So even though it could fetch 10k, if you decide to let it go for 9, you're still making profit and could gain a returning customer due to lifelong gratitude.
You are missing the fact that past no longer exists. The world in which Black Lotus costs $2 no longer exists, it is not here now. Now the Black Lotus is thousands and we have known the concept of 'potential profit lost' in economy for decades if not more. Taysby, don't get conned lol.

You pick one business model and stick to it. The one you describing is not compatible with what he is doing, I suppose?

Don't hate change. Just find it unnecessary. I'm expressing my opinion. And I feel exposing it that way gets my point across exactly how I feel.
