Good luck with that, they still haven’t added Anthologies cards as I requested 5 months ago. It’s really annoying to have to try to sell cards in person because TCGPlayer won’t hold them in stock.

Must say tho, my investment into Daxos isn’t doing so well yet haha 😛

1) Troll & Toad: Bought out their Master of Waves @ $6 and they’ve (apparently) shipped.

2) Cool Stuff Inc: Bought a bunch of Boon Satyr @ $1 (Pre-order) and they’ve already arrived (and been traded / sold lol)

GG to those stores that honor their own sell prices! 🙂

Reasonableness is one of the most primitive operative terms throughout all areas the law (“primitive” meaning it can’t really be broken down further). Rather, specific examples of what is or isn’t “reasonable” for a given legal rule using the term are elucidated through the facts of specific cases.

You can vary the UCC by agreement because Section 1-302(a) specifically allows you to, except where it says you can’t. And under 1-302(b), some of the things you can’t vary by agreement are the obligations of “good faith” and “reasonableness,” which are default terms of every contract under 1-304. With this in mind, it’d be extremely unlikely that a court would ever enforce a contract for the sale of goods where the seller can unilaterally cancel a buyer’s order for any reason and provide no refund or other remedy.

Actually, I think both of y’all stole this one from me, seeing as I was ranting about it at GP Vegas when we were all sitting outside on Sunday night.

There were 2 or 3 people talking about MoW a couple weeks before the PT, Mark Nestico was one. I picked up quite a few in random trades with people wanting out of them. Risk was negligable, at $2 a copy the card would be utilized at some point. On the hand, great article! Anything that makes buying online a more transparent process is good for this community.

Doug (or Scott, if he sees this) are the lawyers to talk to. I’m just the writer who listens to their opinions.

Either way, it’s a topic I’ve thought about writing on for awhile, and I think the two articles compliment each other.

Not to mention your article was submitted on Oct. 14 and I brought this up on Oct. 13 😉

Great minds think alike, then?

I did buy up a bunch of Master of Waves when they were at $6, and I’m all sold out by now. Of course I did not know mono-blue would go on to be the biggest thing around; but what I did know was that the Master is a 6+ power for four mana that has to be killed right away, and that can’t be killed by red or green decks. I bought them at presale prices and thought I would have to wait for a year to sell them.

Sometimes we just need to look at a card for what it’s worth, instead of going by others’ opinions or historical performances. The good thing about Magic (as opposed to say, the stock market) is that everything’s transparent. A card’s strengths and weaknesses are all written on the paper. We just have to build decks and playtest them. (And how else do you know if a card is good or not?)

Btw, I don’t think there is anything (in Standard) worth buying right now. Everything seems high. Except maybe Hammer of Purphoros (@$1.5), but maybe not even that.

Do you know the legal difference between the two situations? If we are allowed to break UCC with a disclaimer I wonder what other laws can be circumvented?

Mine was written and submitted before you even mentioned it.

But I like that show most of the time….

Yeah, it’s really easy to say “buy long before the price goes up.” Which Jace, sure that was easy to see coming and worked for us. But that’s not always how this market works. The Master of Waves deck didn’t even exist as a serious thing until the week before the PT when the Pros brewed it up.

I have to imagine that’s not legal, because when a seller refunds the money the buyer is back where they started, which would not be the case in that circumstance.

I’m hearing that they are going to police this issue.

After shamelessly stealing my idea and quoting zero lawyers, you mean.

bahaha, shots fired

Well UCC does say as above

“You absolutely cannot cancel a sales contract because the underlying asset went up in price. It’s Uniform Commercial Code Art. 2. 2-713 says that the seller is liable for the current market price of the goods, not what they were when you contracted for them. Since these are interchangeable goods (not a golfball-shaped water tower) the seller must either make you whole with the goods or make you whole with the benefit of the bargain–the current market value.

Guess it would be up to a lawyer / judge to decide what reasonable is but again as Corbin stated would be too expensive to litigate.
