andytalaga wrote:@ Ben, (sort of off topic) is there a way you can list some of your foreign commons and uncommons on ebay. I know i looked through that 5000ct box you had at the SCG Philly and a lot of that was kind of impulse buying like "hot damn here is a japanese dauthi horror" etc. but your site is so not-searching-for-foreign-cards friendly that it makes it impossible to find stuff except if you are looking for it directly. I know the advanced search has the box for search foreign cards but it brings up a million pages and it is hard to navigate.

I am sure that there are others on this site who do global collections or who are looking to complete foreign sets that would love to see some good commons and uncommons that are not that easy to find put up (or the website easier to search e.g. be able to search for "Korean" or "Japanese" and not get "no results".
Hey Andy:

We'd love to be able to help anyone who needs a specific foreign card, and we are aware that navigating our foreign inventory is a bit dicy right now, online. We are currently working on methods to streamline the presentation of our foreign inventory, so bear with us while we work out the kinks on that end :)

As far as helping people find foreign cards, by all means, if anyone is looking for a specific foreign card and you don't see it listed on our website, please contact Ken.Adams@starcitygames.com and let him know what you're looking for! We will never be able to post every foreign card that walks through our door (because the time/effort involved of creating items for 8x every common/Uncommon/Rare ever printed is too high, and the amount the extra inventory would slow down our shopping cart is too much), but Ken would be happy to take a look around his desk to see if we have any particular card (or list of cards) anyone is looking for!

Regarding price on dark Visions: A lot with 7 dark Visions rares was sold on eBay for $21.15 recently. Not sure if that was "too cheap", though.

Do you have cards that I'm looking for? Let me know!

I've found that generally those cards go pretty cheap on ebay, but in person people will ask much higher prices for them, though I don't know if they get those prices or not.

I only ask as ive got 3 just laying about, pretending to be ordinary commons (albeit in a 'played' state).

By the way, as suggested by people on these boards, we are now accepting "Best offers" on several of the items in our e-bay store!

These apparently all come from Prerelease Starter Decks.
