How to trade, etc:

The easiest way to set up a trade is if you know me.  I mean, I work at Walmart, so its not that hard to find me. 

If that doesnt work I also accept paypal and can ship it out to you. 

To contact me to work out a trade, I'd recommend facebook.  I check it daily.  If you dont have access to my facebook, you can email me @ webmastertorio@yahoo.com - the only problem being that I do not check it often.  You can comment at the end of this blog as well and I'll try to keep up with it. 


WHY AM I DOING THIS?
So, I've been wanting to put this together for a long time. Basically I wanted to make a complete list of trades I have, and cards I need. I'd love to have it auto-update every time a card changes value, or everytime a card gets traded or acquired. However I have not the technology nor the time. So expect this to be semi-updated around 3 times a month. Prices will change, so I may offer you a different price at the time of trading.

Why SPG? While the shop closed, the trades did not. I have been actively trading, selling, and buying cards from most of our "regulars" since we closed down. No, I dont have a brick and mortar store, and no, this does not fix our problem with us not having a place to play. But, this does keep a steady supply of cards flowing throughout our small community, and it does in turn keep Magic alive (somewhat). I have connections through several sites and shops and I try to get boxes at the cheapest possible price for our playgroup. This is no secret between us, but its not something I was public about until now. For now, the actual store is dead, with no plans to return. But I will keep a "cartel" going, and try be a mobile storefront for Spruce Pine's Magic card needs.

So, for this section, I'm going to list the cards my group or myself need, and what we have up for trade. Chances are, we have a ton more up for trade but we dont really want to trade them off unless we get a good deal. For example, I have a Thrun, the Last Troll ($13) that I dont really want to part with. You have a Foil Isolated Chapel ($18) that you arent really attached to. I would most likely trade off the attached card in favor of more value.

Also, I'll pretty much take any card, but if I'm not looking for it, expect a grave decrease in my offer. For example: You have a Grave Titan ($10) and you want to get rid of it before it's value drops. I have no need for it, and I also know it's value will drop soon as well. I would offer around $3-$4 for it, as opposed to $7-$8 if I needed it.


FAQ:

Q: Do you have "insert card name here"?
A: I might.  I'd use the comment section below and let me know what you are looking for.  I'll comment back or email you if you leave an email address.

Q: I don't agree with the prices you have. 
A: I'm not going to give full retail price on anything.  Sorry.  I'm never really desperate for anything, so you can't make a quick buck off me like that.  I do offer fair prices for cards I'm looking for compared to say, ebay, but if that still doesn't sound fair to you then I'd have to recommend you do business elsewhere.

Q: I have a foil version of something you are looking for.  Does that mean you'll give me double?
A: Maybe.  That would depend on the card and if I even have that much to give.  Just let me know and we will figure it out.

Q: I want to make a deal, but I don't trust dealing with random people online.  What should I do? 
A: Personally, if you dont know me in person, I wouldnt deal with me.   But thats just me.  This was designed mostly for the Spruce Pine Gaming community. The only other way I can think of doing it is sending an offer to you via ebay, but in that case, you'll have to cover all the fees.

Q: I have a ton of cards and I don't know what they are worth.  How much can I get for them?
A: If I know you in person, then we can do one of two things.  I can give you an amount based on what quantity you have (assuming they are all commons) or I can appraise them for you for a small fee.  The downside to me appraising them is if you have nothing of value I probably won't offer you anything.

Q: I have many cards of value but none are on your list.  Will you not give me premium value for my cards?
A: Depends on the situation.  If we are talking Black Lotuses, its not that the price isnt right, its that I dont have that kind of money (to spend on cardboard).  It might be that I feel it is overpriced.  Maybe no one in our playgroup uses it.  Or maybe I just forgot to list it.  In any case, message me what you have for trade and I'll get back to you.

Q: You said you can ship them to me.  How much is that going to cost me?
A: I'm not going to rip you on the shipping.  I'll charge an amount equal to the estimated shipping cost +5% to cover any varience.  If you want it shipped in a bubble mailer, I'll charge 50 cents.  If you want insurance, I'll charge insurance.  Pretty much you'll pay a fair price.
