Sleeves are my addiction. I buy new sleeves every time I go to my lgs. Lgs prices are always slightly higher but it is nice to walk in and be called by name by the owner.

European sites like magiccardmarket.eu and magicmadhouse.com are good. I've bought a lot of cards from the latter and the prices and delivery time is awesome.

Not useful for USA players but if shipping costs arnt too high you might get some good deals.

I recently used ebay to buy 4  {Snapcaster Mage} for £12 each which is £6 cheaper than the current UK price so I've also started looking on ebay for some singles too.

I use TCG like a fiend once I can't get anything thru my lgs or trade.
Lately I've been buying any shocks that are less than $6 to complete my collection of playsets. Shipping can be daunting from some TCG stores, so I prefer to find the lowest prices and then browsing the store exclusively. Usually they sell a few shocks around $6, so I just buy em all.

Recently acquired

Overgrown tomb $5.5
Blood Crypt - $5
Hallowed Fountain x3 -$6.31 each
Breeding Pool $5.75
Ashiok - $8

I also eBay randomly and end up buying steals

Altar of dementia - $1.75
Storm breath dragon - $12

I dropped about 110 $ on cards last night for edh and a few specifics I think I ran the majority of it through channel fireball like gorzo mentioned

Honestly they have all been great. The cards had no imprints or scuffs. If a seller on TCG stiffs you in condition when they say its near mint, you can communicate with them.

TCG protects buyers very well imo

I have about 15 cards purchased from various eBay sellers coming in this week. I've bought a handful of cards at the LGS, and I've placed several orders at StarCity.

Pretty much wherever I feel like buying from at the time.

I usually use Tcg and Scg, but I've kinda been liking trollandtoad recently. Scg is probably my favorite, despite being overpriced. They just seem more reliable. I had an order from Tcg come in with the card sticking halfway out of the top loader. Scg has always had great shipping.

Yeah since shocks are so low right now I usually jump to TCG If they are listed at $6.50 or less or lows and buy away
