1) I traded Price of Progress, Pyrostatic Pillar and Sensei's Divining Top ($13.97)
and I received:
Champion of the Parish (Chinese), Balefire Dragon (Chinese) and Mikaeus, the Lunarch ($13.97)
wow, this deal was dead even. However, I checked the value of the two Chinese cards in English. I'm sure they're worth more because of the foreign text. I did give up the most expensive card so I probably got ripped off the most. During the trade I was valuing the Pillar at .49, but they were .99 ... I think that they are probably pretty difficult to get rid of. I don't know how I feel about this trade, we'll see if it pays off in the upcoming weeks.
2) I traded Sakura-Tribe Elder x 3, Circle of Protection: Red (8th FOIL), Temple of the False God and Savra, Queen of the Golgari ($6.20)
and I received:
Kessig Wolf Run ($3.99)
-$2.21
Wow, I got taken to school on this trade. However, the only thing I might miss in the trade is the Sakura-Tribe Elders. Kessig Wolf Run just won worlds so I think I'll be able to trade it for something pretty decent. The problem with the card is that people only run 1-2 in a deck. I really didn't expect it to be so cheap, just after its worlds win. Live and learn, I guess.
3) I traded Razorverge Thicket, Champions of Kamigawa Foiled Island ($8.97)
and I received:
Inferno Titan, Dryad Arbor, Arcanis, the Omnipotent (10th) ($11.97)
We valued the Razorverge Thicket at $9.99 and that's how much I actually thought it was. My mistake. He got the most expensive card in the trade though so that's gotta be worth something.
+$3.00
Overall, after these three trades I am +$0.79, but I gave up two of my most expensive cards. *CRUSHED*
Tomorrow I'm meeting some guy off craigslist who is going to give me some free cards because he doesn't want to bother selling them. Even if its just commons/uncommons it'll be fun to see what I can shove into this binder...and who knows, there might be another divining top in there too!!!
