UPDATED! Magic: the Gathering buylist

Prices are via cash & PayPal. I can meet up at the following locations:

Anywhere in San Leandro/Fremont/Union City/Newark
Games of Berkeley/Eudemonia in Berkeley, Fridays only
SuperStars (aka BigFireball) in San Jose, Saturdays only

To sell, email me at enjoyyouronionrings AT gmail DOT com (no spam, please!) or PM me on the forums. Minimum $20 sale, this way it'll be worth our time when it comes to getting to the meeting spot. I don't want to waste your time by just buying $3-5 worth of cards if your time is valuable :]

I buy Magic: the Gathering cards with an emphasis on Standard-legal and Extended-legal cards. I can take Standard cards in bulk as well, but outside of Standard I have a pretty specific buylist.

I am in the process of re-organizing my spoils from Grand Prix - Los Angeles and will have them up on eBay soon. My username on eBay is enjoyyouronionrings

Prices are for Near-Mint to Mint condition cards. Although not listed, I will consider played conditions such as Excellent and Very Good at a lower price as well. If you are unsure, feel free to email me scans of cards you would like to sell and I can give you a quoted price.

I also buy foreign cards! The only non-English languages I currently accept are French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian. Yes, I buy foreign basic land but only very specific ones.

Also accepting: BULK (unlisted) Foils @ 0.10, BULK creature tokens @ 0.10, FOIL Basic Land @ 0.05, and FOREIGN Basic Land @ 10 for 0.01

These are ten movies which I saw this year that I feel that everyone should have seen. Note that I haven't seen a number of movies that I planned to. Most notable movies that I have not seen yet are: American Teen, Changeling, Che, Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Doubt, Gran Torino, Rachel Getting Married, The Reader, Revolutionary Road, Secret Life of Bees, Synecdoche New York and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. If I had seen those movies, they may have affected this list in one way or another but I didn't so this is what we're at.

Also. Tell you what. If I see any of those above mentioned movies and I want to bump a slot or two from my list for them, I'll do so and let you know.

But, what I want from you guys is simple: Write a top ten movies list of your own and justify it. Also, feel free to openly disagree with my choices (and give me good reasons why!). I'm open to a healthy debate.

Explanations below may possibly spoil bits and pieces of each movie, and may probably tell you more than you want to known. Hence, they're hidden behind spoiler tags. You have been warned.


10. Be Kind Rewind (Directed by Michel Gondry. Stars Jack Black, Mos Def, and Danny Glover)

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

7. Die Fälscher, or The Counterfeiters (Directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky. Stars Karl Markovics, August Diehl)

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

6. WALL-E (Directed by Andrew Stanton)

5. Milk (Directed by Gus Van Sant. Stars Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Emile Hirsch, James Franco)

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

That's all for my movies list. Maybe I'll write one for something else as well, but I hope you've enjoyed it.

He's ordering a birthday cake at a Jewish bakery, asking for it to be named after the man who committed the Jewish Holocaust. Think about that for a minute.

And this guy is irresponsible enough to say that little Adolf Cambell will never know who Hitler was? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Please don't post anything from Faux Noise ever again, it's just full of stupid.

Villains is simply Volume Three of Heroes. Fugitives is still a part of Season Three.
@Jerry:

West isn't contracted past Season Two. What may or may not become of his character is currently unknown. Remember, Caitlin's fate is also currently unknown and the producers might never revisit her fate. Also, Claire essentially told West to depart her life. There's nothing else you can stretch with this story.

Molly was sent to Chennai, India by Mohinder at the beginning of Season Three. He explains it to Maya right before Mohinder begins working on the new formula. There's nothing else you need to really involve with Molly.

Micah's storyline wasn't the subject of any focus in Volume Three. In Volume Three's finale the President skims through some files of evolved humans, one of whom is Micah. There really isn't any closure needed here, only foreshadowing a future comback.

Claude Raines left Peter in rage after being attacked by the Company. He's invisible. He probably won't come back. Christopher Eccleston isn't contractually involved with Heroes at the moment.


If you guys want some more insight into this, HeroesWiki and HeroesRevealed are always one click away.

So this year at the swap meet I was able to sell off quite a bit of Magic cards for some good money (at least in my perspective). I was the Asian guy with the three (or was it four?) binders of Magic cards selling rares off at roughly one dollar a piece upwards of $20+ for chase rares. I hope to do it again next year, and would like some input:

What kinds of cards do you guys look for? That is: Do you guys want recent sets? Older sets?

Do you guys mostly look for fun multiplayer cards or tournament-caliber singles?

Price range: How high is too high?

Any other improvements? Suggestions?


Thanks in advance. See you guys next year.

selling my:
underground seas
polluted deltas
watery graves
birds of paradise
overgrown tombs

and other stuff >_>;;

WHOA!!! PMed. Reply back with prices and whatnot.

Does anyone happen to sell Japanese singles? I'd love to pick up a few on the cheap since they're not English-game legal (I'm looking at you, Dark Armed Dragon).

Aww no Standard tournament? :(

There's always next year, right? =]

I shall bring my Cube, so we can Cube Draft if necessary. Don't count this in 100% though =P I have to tweak it around and whatnot.

I want authentic movie theatre posters. This means double-sided, 27x40 posters. If you have any, let me know which ones you have and let's make a deal! I'm not limiting myself to any types of movies right now. What I am mostly looking for are the posters to:

Iron Man
Dark Knight
Leatherheads
Juno
No Country For Old Men
There Will Be Blood
The Usual Suspects


Also, if you have Death Note volumes 11 through 13 and are willing to sell them for cheap then let me know :D

Also looking for *sealed* boxes/packs of Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh! (please specify set, quantity, and whether or not it's a sealed box or just random packs). Specifically looking for Shadowmoor (Magic), Gold Series (YGO), Phantom Darkness (YGO), and Light of Destruction (YGO).

Oh and most random requests ever:
Clapboard (for filmmaking uses, must be real and not a prop)
Boom mic (again, for filmmaking)
Your high-definition camcorder that you just have no time/motivation to use. Please contact me with specifics on what you have. I am only going to take interest in MiniDV based camcorders -or- memory card based camcorders. No hard drive/dvd/super8/hi8 formats. I'm looking for something in the high end (either Prosumer or Professional) level. I don't want some janky Flip camcorder with internal memory =P

Last year's Magic "tournament" wasn't organized and was pretty much a letdown. Don't expect anything competitive (besides, all the hardcore players minus myself will be down in Hollywood for Pro Tour - Hollywood side-events if not the main) at all. On a side note, I'm ready to sell off 90% of my Magic collection (the other 10% consists of my Cube and a few Standard-legal decks). If you want anything that's Standard-legal or as far back as Revised, feel free to ask. I have less rares from the past and a ton of Time Spiral stuff.

EDIT
Got it!

/EDIT

Hey guys. I've been wanting to find a copy/play this game for a while now (I used to goto my next door neighbors to play this every once in a while about ten years ago). Straight to the facts:

-Super Famicom title (I doubt it was released in English)
-A top-down shooter
-I guess you could call it sci-fi, the character models weren't childish or anything (more on the "serious" side I guess)
-One of the weapons was some sort of gun or laser beam that would basically ricochet off walls (I think it was called the "Z laser" or something for that matter).
-I THINK you went inside a pod or capsule in order to save/heal.

Any help? Much appreciated =]

rctan9's rules aren't lame, they're standard and what most people deem fair.

If you have a problem with slower Pokemon going last, use the move that makes slower Pokemon go first. AND it's your fault for not EV training them properly if you're worried for their speed.

Relying on status effects means you pretty much don't have the skills to train your Pokemon correctly.

How is losing because of a double KO lame? Would you prefer a draw? Draws are lame. Again you're relying on cheap tactics to win.

The idea is we ban ALL evasion tactics. Do you know how annoying it is to try and hit a mofo with six Double Team layers? AND I don't think we all carry roasters in our pockets to show each other before a Pokemon battle.

The official Wi-Fi rules should be followed because if you're joining to play in this tournament, you might as well be prepped for online battles.

Slower pokemon can be EV trained for speed, what if the opponent did the same thing. Not gonna matter, slow pokemon are naturally slow, regardless of extra Stat Boosts.

Setting up Status effects take skill. Again, you are proving my point that only power matters. Prepare your team with berries to avoid certain status's.

Losing to a Double KO's is part of the game, if you are down to one pokemon and the opponent has one or more than you if you guys are equal skill then chances are you are gonna lose anyways.

Double Team, more reason for people to run Swift and the such.

No one carries Roster's sure, but if you are gonna have a tourney have a reg process, with like binder paper with people showing the team, and if someone has a complaint of someone using a legendary, ask to see their team, then check their boxes and then ask the accuser what the level of the legendary was and what attacks it had. Simple. It may be a slight hassle, but it stops Legendary users.

Just like why Wobbuffet is considered an uber even though his stats aren't that amazing: Wynaut -> Wobbufet means that he can have Encore; combine that with Shadow Tag and you can trap an opponent into a situation where he literally CANNOT do anything, even switch out, and continue to do so for turn after turn. Just not fun.

I said roAsters, not rosters. I'm not the one with spelling problems here.
Which is why is on the Uber/Banned list, which probably be enforced.

Whoa paopu fruit? I know someone who'd probably love one for her birthday =P I've PMed you =]

Oh I'll bring an almost full box of Magic: the Gathering Unhinged if anybody's interested. It's got thirty unopened packs. Make me an offer =]

AND I have the following manga on me:

-Rurouni Kenshin 1-28 (Full set)
-Death Note 1-6
-Hunter x Hunter 1-9
-Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle 1-8, 10-11
-Prince of Tennis 1-14
-Battle Royale 1-15 (Full set)
-Fullmetal Alchemist 1-8

I left Death Note 7-10, Hunter x Hunter 10-13 and Tsubasa 9 back in Santa Cruz BUT I can ship those to you if you want =] PM me for more details, I'd love to unload some manga this weekend.

Hey, hey! If anyone's looking for Magic just let me know specifically what you need and I'll see if I can bring it to the swap meet.

Wow. Reality world huh, I'm offended.

On another note, if I can still find sealed GH copies for cheap around here will you buy them off my hands for $100?

[It's like FF7 , a greatest hits copy sealed goes for 200/250 a piece , a black one sealed for 400.]

It is greates hits.
It's an out of print game. They stop printing it 2 years ago.
When is finish is gone.
It's like FF7 , a greatest hits copy sealed goes for 200/250 a piece , a black one sealed for 400.
Xenogears is getting there too. They stop printing it last october.
Check Amazon to get an idea

Take care

giulio

o.o

FF7 is $15-20 for a GH version (I got a used one for $5 a year ago). The original copy goes for about $50-60, not 400. Where are you getting these numbers?

And will you be bringing KH2 Final Mix?

Yo, I'm interested in:

Ouendan 1 & 2
Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix

Could you provide me with prices? :D

[Read before PMing me:]

I'm looking to sell of a bunch of manga, but won't be bringing any of it unless I get someone dedicated to buying the set before con. If you're interested in any of these, send me a PM so we can work something out:

-Rurouni Kenshin 1-28 (Full set)
-Death Note 1-10
-Hunter x Hunter 1-13
-Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle 1-11
-Prince of Tennis 1-14
-Battle Royale 1-15 (Full set)
-Fullmetal Alchemist 1-8


Read before PMing me:
1. Yes, the manga is in English. All of it.
2. I do not prefer to break these up, so if you're specifically looking for like "volume 5" or something I'm not 100% down with it unless we make a deal somehow.
3. Conditions are as follows:

Rurouni Kenshin: All of them are read, of course. Volumes 1-4 show the most wear at about a Good/Fine condition, with the rest being at Excellent/NM-M condition.

Death Note is basically all in NM-M condition

Hunter x Hunter is all Ex/NM-M

Tsubasa 1-3 is G/VG, and the rest being NM-M

Prince of Tennis 1-2 (or 3?) is Fine/Good, rest  being Good/VG/Excellent

Battle Royale is a mix of Fine/Good/VG/Excellent/Mint. Some volumes are read more than others, etc.

Fullmetal Alchemist 1-2 is in read condition with the covers' plastic parts SLIGHTLY coming off (they're the "foil" covers). The rest is in NM-M condition.


I'll bring whatever you're interested in to the swap meet only if you're 100% sure you'll buy. I'll also ship this stuff to you if you have PayPal. PM me to make an offer =P
