Money is sheets of raggy paper with pictures of dead people and pyramids on it, what's your point?

[Eneishi]

Someone previously compared magic cards to money. Lol

I had to have a laugh at his expense.

Can't tell if trolling or just really dumb

My point in this whole thread before you came on here to destroy it is that the value of these cards are in the eye of the beholder.

Please don't come on my thread and be ignorant when I would like to have a civilized conversation. thanks bud.

You also have to realize that everyone is different, and no one is trading for the exact same reason as you are. This is just part of human nature, and every single language has an expression for this- in English, it is "to each his own."

If you don't mind trading where you are getting a far less "value" out of the trade and it's okay with you, by all means do what makes you happy. But you should be aware of value and not propose a trade of unbalanced value for the other person unless you KNOW that trader is okay with that kind of deal. They have every right to be mad, because to many people that kind of deal is unfair and you need to respect your fellow player and consider their opinions and preferences when trading.

Well put.

I think the point here is your value of the card ie: your first mythic v. What everyone else values the card at. A good number of people I know go by the first value

You asked a question, I gave you an answer.

Mtg is a collectable card game.  Cards are worth money because of rarity, and usefulness.  People buy, sell, and trade cards.  Cards are valuable.  You can trade any way you want.  That's up to you.

I think I understand this guy a little better. And can concede and give example. I started playing wanting only mono red. I pulled a karn liberated in my first week playing and traded it for a Chandra nalaar. The guy I traded with was fair and told me the worth, but I honestly didn't think I wanted to play anything but red. Thus a need trade for a need trade. Not money value. This is what OP talks about. Now I know I could have have sold Karn and bought like 3 Chandras. Case in point, for the money value trades he doesn't understand, you can get more for the money value than the needed aspect. And for some, they can turn around and sell the expensive card you lost.
Am I right OP?

Thank you. Someone here understands. Haha.

You hit the nail on the head.

Someone mentioned that it's just how I feel about trading, but in 96 to like 2000 no one cared about the money value, but instead the "need" value.

[Rass]

Really in 93 when I started playing there were shops selling singles with a fixed price.

[Eneishi]

You're talking about shops trying to make money, therefor your point is invalid.

Really I guess you do not understand economics. Right now these cards can be exchanged for money.

You're missing the point of this conversation.  It's about trading. Nothing more. Try to keep up mate.
