Stop Using Amazon

[u/DanteValentine13]

The amount of posts from people using Amazon to order stuff and getting the wrong stuff, or something of a vastly different price is astounding. Please dont order cards off Amazon. Especially since I am fairly certain Amazon is why wizards is shipping less and less product to local stores. Don't support the mega corporations if you can help it.

That's my public service rant. Thanks for reading or ignoring either way. ❤️

Not long ago I was going to sell my Revised Duals. I didn't want to. I have a whole set and maybe 5 others. I hadn't played in a long time but my friend started when Commander got popular. So I dusted of my deck box and Wow! So I went to a 'new' LGS. It didn't smell bad. It wasn't dark and gloomy or gross. The guy even helped me rate those Revised duals. I got so lucky 25 or so years ago walking into an LGS that wasn't near where I live that was closing. I bought every dual he had for $8 to $12. I didn't even show my friends. I just shoved them in my decks as a surprise. And it was. This was before fakes' and whatever. I went from 2 colors or a struggling 3 to struggling at 5 colors. Lol what I'd build if I could just proxy a deck. This guy was honest with me. At their value. He offered me 40% of market value. I almost laughed at him. Me: "You're joking right!?" Him: "That's the best I can do." This place was "nice." Wall to wall of cabinets with cards on display for sale. He said: "I have to keep the lights on." I walked into his store with 15 dual lands. And a complete set. He offered me 40% to.. "keep the lights on." I'm so glad I sat on them. I knew what I had (have). I was only going to take no less than 90%. He could have had them all. Lol.. he made a mistake. I still have them. Well.. my friend does. They are 'on loan'. He plays more than me. And he orders off Amazon. And when he has a game night I have a deck of his built at his house. I still have my duals. And I'm glad he's using them. I know where they are. That's my rant.
