I thought I&#8217;d feel a bit sad about it, but I&#8217;m not. This is nothing like when I sold all my My Little Ponies. I thought about selling my cards all on ebay, figured I might get about around $40 on ebay, *including* shipping, and I didn&#8217;t want to deal with it, shipping 1600+ cards is a pain. So I figured I&#8217;d head down to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.collegevillecards.com\">Collegeville Cards<\/a> and see how much they&#8217;d give me for my cards. We got there around 2:30, and the owner was there to check out my cards. Hovering next to me was a guy who was a bit too eager to get his hands on my cards, and excitedly told the owner that he would buy a lot of my cards from him right away since they were sets he was looking to complete. I&#8217;m sure that helped me. I only had about 7 cards which were good rares, then about 100 crap rares, 50 foils, a few hundred basic lands, 1600 commons and uncommons. How much did I get for all this? $85. At least twice what I expected. Yay! Of course I payed much more than that for them all ;) but I don&#8217;t think I could have made off any better with any other reasonable selling route.<\/p>\n<p>We did some shopping after stopping at the card shop. It was weird using actual cash for our purchases at Home Depot and the grocery store, we&#8217;re so used to using the debit card for everything.<\/p>\n<p>Last night we went over to <lj user=mtj>&#8216;s place. We brought along a few seasons of Red Dwarf (which he&#8217;d never seen), and hung out, had some beers, ate lots of pizza. I also got a chance to sign his key finally. We had a nice time, and stayed til almost midnight.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to go do some reading now.<\/p>\n<p>*wanders off*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sold my Magic cards today.
