Your other lists are very useful, as well.

Eventually some site is going to get the bright idea to automate this buy list and list it similar to TCGPlayer or Blackborder, complete with an easy checkout feature. I'm hoping that comes soon, so you don't have to do all this work. Maybe this very site will be the ones to come up with this system . . .

One feature to this system would be to figure out the best store for you to make your entire sale to. In other words, it would have to figure out whether you should break up the lot and sell to every store that is listing the best price for individual cards, or it would pick the store with the best overall price to save you money on shipping and possibly insurance. An automated comparison to the most recent MOTL list would be nice, but that may be asking for too much. Buy lists are getting pretty close to eBay these days, anyway.

I was glad to hear that you are getting notice from the folks in Renton!

It is a shame that eBay prices can get warped by card condition, especially for older cards. Just got to take it with a grain of salt. If there were any easy workarounds, I'd imagine sites like blacklotusproject.com would employ them, but none come to mind.

I hear ya. It's all a work in progress. I don't know of anyone else that has gone to the effort of collecting and posting all the information that I am. It's pretty complex and it will take an community to build out. It's complex enough that I won't catch everything.

Thank you much! I'll keep working on it!

You are a god among men.

Each week this gets better and more refined. The Womby list finally makes sense to me. OVerall your lists are a great asset to arm ourselves as we head out to FNMs and local tournaments – both to protect ourselves from devaluing our cards as well as sharpening our skills as we trade for value.

Keep up the good work!

I apologize for not being clear.

The Ebay prices are for cards that sold and don't take into account condition. For new cards, it's safe to assume they are all NM, and it doesn't matter, but for RV cards and earlier condition is crucial. You are comparing the value of played cards (Ebay) to NM cards (store buylists).

Regardless, it's an incredibly valuable service that you perform.

I see what you mean on Strike Zone. Their Fallen Empires and Homelands lists got swapped. I've corrected it on the back end and added a filter to catch it if it happens again. Thank for you pointing that out,I'll re-upload that fix and another one other shortly. I'm rebuilding the Channel Fireball list (it's over 70 different download maps) and building in some error correction.

I did mention that these prices are all for near mint. It should go without saying that stores aren't going to accept cards in poor condition at the same price but I'll be more explicit about that in the future.

Also, for eternal cards condition is a very big deal. You're ignoring condition from eBay, while using the NM buy price, so it's not exactly an apt comparison.

Right you are. It's going to take some time to calculate everything, but I think I know where the error is. The data there is all accurate, but there are some cards missing. I'm on it.

Where's Skithiryx, the blight dragon. Saw it above Sword of B & M at Cool Stuff inc @ $11. That's got to be a good sell.

THanks.

Just to clarify, I meant to say, "Not getting where 'Womby' comes from" I assumed it was an acronym. Your new entry explains it just fine. Thanks! 🙂

Great point. I've added in links for printing. I'm not sure how printer friendly they are, that will be something I work on though.
