Heh, no, that's all right, I'll manage. Kind of you to offer, though.

And, yes, must find a topic to discuss.

I wish you could enter the contests too, Suzerain :/ Anyways, find a topic to talk about tonight and I'll babble as endlessly as I can :p

You play Magic the Gathering at all Serra?

(fishes for topic...)

I have never played magic gathering.

I used to play Magic: The Gathering, but all my cards vanished when I moved last time. Which is a shame because I'd probably be selling them now for funds :/

I just won an auction yesterday for like 200 dollars in cards for 40 dollars. I'm planning to sell most of them, might use a few. I can't believe how expensive little pieces of cardboard can be.

oh wow thats great you can earn back your money you spent

If I sell all of those, it'll actually pay for my entire investment into the game so far and then some. I was so surprised when I won the auction, the bidding for it was ferocious, but it didn't even get within 10 dollars of my maximum bid.

That's pretty great Suzerain :3 I'm never that lucky with stuff but I don't really try them either.

was it an online auction or a live auction?

Online, on eBay.

oh i never have the patience for those i think i have tried a few times.

I literally only shop on eBay. It's way too convenient being able to click and order something and have it delivered to my house, without everything else handled electronically. Not to mention being able to buy almost anything imaginable on there. I only really go to grocery stores physically any more, and I would buy those online, too, if I could.

/is a hermit.

That's possible somewhere, I'm sure.

I was looking up Birds of Paradise the other day, and they're crezy. The design I want (7th-8th ed) goes anywhere from $6 for four to $70 for one! And the alternate art versions sell in the hundreds. I saw one that was over $1000, foil promo alternate art or something like that. Yikes. I collect more than play now but I do have limits.

Nice to find out that some of the stuff I still have has gone way up in value though. Of course, I'll only see money if I actually sell.

Yeah, I thought I remembered Birds of Paradise being one of the crazy expensive cards when you mentioned it yesterday. That's nearly as high as the Black Lotus (which I think is the most valuable, not positive, though.)

And, I question the logistics of a potential online grocery store, as awesome as one would be in theory.

you can have groceries delivered to your house as well i don't think you do it over the internet but over the phone but still
