Wheres a good place to sell singles or a big lot of cards? I have used Ebay, but would rather not pay that much to a third party. If anyone is interested in card currently in my binder or edh decks let me know (I might not sell reserve list cards, especially if i only have one copy).

I am going to start selling off my cards that are not in decks, might sell off from my decks too (have not played any since the core prerelease). Cards listed in binder are about 95% up to date. Will take offers.

Us only Free shipping for orders over $30, $3 otherwise.

Will make a list of cards later, I know I have a lot not listed in binder such as Rings of Brighthearth that are valuable.

The coreset pre release was only a few months ago seems like a bit of a knee jerk reaction. I would suggest selling only cards you know you could get back easily enough unless you really need the money

shadow63 - not really a knee jerk reaction. This year I have not played commander very often. I used to go play every week on Friday and Saturday. I have a collection worth close to $35k. I own 24 edh decks (did own 32 and have parts of those still). I just don't see a reason to have a collection of this size if I'm not actively playing. Like I said above I prob not selling any of my reserve list stuff (duals, cradles, wheels, etc) unless I have multiples, as I plan on keeping some decks and some other cards. I recently moved, and my collection wont fit in a 3'x2'x2' u haul large sized moving box, and I gave away lots of commons/uncommons and some rares over the years to new players.

I have played since 4th edition. Sold collection when first child was born due to financial needs. Started back up at M13 prerelease, playing limited only. Over a year later picked up a Prossh pre constructed commander deck and started playing commander. My collection has grew a lot since then. Over a year ago the place I mainly went to play closed down. The other store has players, but the playgroup is not the same.

I just don't seem to make the time to play anymore, or to even edit the decks I have. I have over 200 cards that I have traded for that I have not put into the decks that I got them for. I'm talking prob over $1000 in cards that I traded for but haven't made the time to put in decks. The thrill of deck building is just not there anymore.

I recommend selling on TCGplayer.com its fast cheap and easy and I recently started doing it myself. I'm just a normal private collector with lots of extra cards I'm not using, not a real card shop. Just like you I used to use eBay to sell my magic cards, but this site is much better than ebay. You still only pay fees after sales are completed, but they have no listing fees for having items for sale ever. And they have every card already in the system so adding to your inventory means you don't have to take any pictures it's all very quick to list items. They have a system that allows anyone to get started easily and as you complete sales your account gets higher ranking. I leveled up my account very quickly and was able to expand my inventory beyond my needs basically immediately. It is Far and Away the most convenient way I've ever experienced to sell cards for a good price. If you want to have the cheapest copy of a card for sale on the entire site to ensure it will sell quickly you can do that very easily. I know that sounds like an advertisement but I promise I don't work for them I just thought I would share my experience.

I second TCGplayer. I don't sell regularly, and I don't sell a ton, but when I do sell I'll typically give people here first shot at my cards, and then after about a week I'll post it to TCGplayer. I'm not out to squeeze every last penny out of my cards, so TCGplayer's convenience and ease of use is great for me. I'm sure there are other ways to sell that can get you a bit more money (fewer fees, etc), but...

Also, pskinn01: I'd love to buy that Wrenn and Six off of you if you're interested in selling it

saj0219 I no longer have any Wn6.i traded last one for Cavern of Souls and an Earthcraft . Traded one for a scroll rack before Wn6 spiked. Traded one to rockleemyhero in a very large trade (I've traded well over $1000 in cards with him alone).

I have tried to update the binder on here to no avail, keep getting thopters.

I will post a list sometime later. I know I have a lot of high end cards that will be for sale. Fetches, the cavern, swords, stoneforge mystic, etc. If you had an updated wants list I could prob tell you want I had available.
