when you decide to buy

[DirtyMustachio]

Where do you guys buy, when you've hit that standstill in trading online and at lgs?

Usually I go ebay and troll and toad.

Am I wrong. Should I be buying straight from tcgplayers links?

[DylanW18]

I do tcg personally. Since it gives you tons of places to buy from, you can compare quality/price/shipping costs all right there

I like card kingdom, beautiful delivery times (four days for me) but sometimes their selection is a little thin, amazon can be very nice too they have a tendency to be cheaper especially when looking for foils.

I usually go with SCG. I know that there are cheaper places out there but I really trust the condition they say their cards are in.

Thanks guys

For singles I use eBay. For sealed I used to do cardkingdom or alterealitygames. Both were goodbut their prices jumped.

For singles I also use ebay. It has worked great for me. For sealed I would check if any of your LGSs around have point systems, like whenever you spend 10 bucks you get a point, and if you get 10 points you get a 10 buck gift card. I know some of them do that, like the one I went to in Illinois before I moved.

Yeah I primarily meant singles.

I usually buy from eBay and Comic Asylum here in dallas, their cards are cheaper online surprisingly. Troll and Toads is pretty expensive compared to a lot of other places.

Oh poo I fail

[ThassaDevoted]

I mainly sell to and buy from abugames.com. They have a huge selection, and selling to them is really easy. They also many rare items for everyone out there with extra money.

Check ebay and here, but don't be afraid to troll the internet for other options. The biggest thing is to decide what you deem to be fair value for you at trading price vs buy price.

Remember even on this app you have to check other prices too. I will give you an example.

{Bloodline Keeper} on here has a low mid value(ie trade value) this is less than the buying price most places. So if forced to buy such a card, make sure you get value back out of it. Basically if you have to buy a card, make sure if you ever trade it your able to get current value for it, not just mid value. Take everything into consideration. I am of the mind set that you should be buying cards close or under the low end and trading at mid value, however sometimes the mid value is too low to be trading at. I hope this makes sense. It is definitely one of those topics that might be easier to show or explain in person, lol. Good luck.

Wow definitely hadn't thought that much into it. Thanks a lot!

Glad I made this thread!

I do too. Plus when you buy from there, you support Reid Duke!

I'm a big fan of ChannelFireball.com. You can usually get some good prices there. I typically browse it and amazon for singles, and compare prices. My ChannelFireball cart ends up with a lot more in it.

I do like to support my lgs though, and like to buy from there even if it's a little more expensive when I only need 1-5 cards. And sleeves. I've bought so many sleeves.
