I would enter that contest in a heart beat. I've sold rulebooks, empty pack wrappers, and empty boxes for not insignificant amounts of money. I have 20 or so 4th edition gift set boxes that I am going to post on ebay in the next few days because I honestly believe people will buy them.

That's hilarious! I think you're right. If I weren't quite so good at picking them up as parts of collections, I could see myself paying for the 4th edition gift set boxes. That's like 45 cubic inches of pure nostalgia right there. Makes me want to have a contest on the podcast to see which of our listeners can sell the most random magic-related bit of paraphernalia, as judged by the four of us with prizes. Thanks for the solid idea.

I find it funny that this is an article about the writer trolling ebay sellers but gets sore when someone points out he is wrong. My comment was not anymore hostile than the article was originally. I will commend the powers that be at Quiet Speculation for not deleting the comment, I half expected they would.

Your tone was definitely hostile. And this is a free article, not behind a pay wall of any sorts. And your issue with the editorial process seems to be unfounded, as Jason provided citations to excuse your giggling.

If one vendor buys bulk at a high price but the rest buy much lower, there's a much better way of mentioning that. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. Yours, however, was pretty obnoxious.

It should be obvious that your trolling really isn't welcome here. While we won't censor you, we do have a pretty tight night community and your angry comments do nothing but hurt your own brand. No one likes a jerk, regardless of how right they think they are.

In that case, I can hook you up with infinity rulebooks. I used to use them to mark the spaces between different types of cards (i.e creatures and non-creatures) in my boxes and most of them are in pretty good shape. I also bought a collection that netted me a ton of old deck boxes, including boxes from Revised starter decks. I'm sure we can work something out.

Furthermore I didn't think my tone was Hostile, I was a little worked up but it pains me to see people pay money for this article.

http://www.coolstuffinc.com/buyList_main.php?pa=v… , sorry I didn't provide proof guess I was too busy laughing at your editors for not noticing. I didn't even check your links I will assume you are accurately representing what their buylist currently states but that is absolutely not what SCG and T&T normally pay.

That's completely inaccurate. I did not "estimate" anything, that's what dealers pay. If they are paying $5/k on bulk commons and uncommons, how could they possibly be paying 10 for basic land? I would prefer people cited some sources when they called me out. Since you didn't, I can do the leg work.
http://trollandtoad.com/buying3.php?Department=M Troll and Toad pays $4/k if you mail it in and you cover shipping. They pay less in person.
http://sales.starcitygames.com/buylist/ StarCity has updated their buylist to $5/k in person, and that's only for NM/SP. It's not $2/k but 5 is a lot closer to $2 than it is to $10.
http://store.channelfireball.com/buylist/start_se… At the bottom of the page you will see Channel Fireball pays the $2/k I quoted in my article.

I can post more if you want. The point is, I couldn't find anyone who paid more than $5, and I couldn't find anyone who paid $10.

It's fine to disagree with me on something. That is fine. I'm not perfect. But to be so dismissive of my article and to take such a hostile tone was completely uncalled for. What's worse, you made a blanket statement with no evidence whereas I provided plenty of evidence to the contrary.
