I'm a sad Pucatrade refugee. R.I.P.
.
YOU THINK YOUVE SEEN LONG PROFILES??? CHECK THIS CRAP OUT!
.
If the condition of the card isn't listed, it's most likely NM, but i have so much that it's impossible to know until i pull it out. I'll describe it and/or upload pics to imgur if not NM. Also, the inventory can be wrong sometimes, it's an import from Puca from when that died and i've done trading on other platforms which wouldn't have updated that list. But it will be mostly correct.
.
If I don't have a specific printing listed for a card on my Wishlist, I most likely want the cheapest version or the version with the lowest rarity (for cards that have been rarity shifted). This is for my cube where rarity can matter for building the packs. If the version you want to trade is similar in price to the cheapest one it's highly likely I'll be fine with it. If I have multiple printings listed on the wishlist, it means those are the only versions I'll take of that card, but I still only want 1.
Speaking of cube, I need LOTS of low value stuff and am almost always interested in trading down.
No foils please! (unless it has ONLY been printed as foil like Nexus of Fate). The only foils on my wishlist are for my son because he likes them. I used to be biiiiiiiig into them, so take all of mine off my hands!
I will abide by your rules if they are more strict if i must, but I don't expect tracking for trades under $50. It's just not worth it. Even some trades over $50 it's probably still fine for PWE. But when we ship PWE I expect both of us to mark it NON-MACHINABLE on both sides. This way they will sort the envelope by hand instead of throwing it through the sorting machine where ALL THE BAD STUFF HAPPENS. Seriously, this is pretty much the only place bad stuff happens (except theft, but nobody steals PWEs). You can write "Do Not Bend" all you want on the envelope, but unless you pay for non-machinable, they're still gonna throw it into the sorting machine. The extra cost involved is minimal; it's something like 20 cents. They make "non-machinable" stamps that have this cost already built into the stamp. But don't just slap 2 regular stamps on it, you'll be over paying. In all my years of trading with Pucatrade, I NEVER, NOT ONCE, had a non-machinable envelope go missing anywhere on the PLANET (Spain is slow as heck though lol). They always arrived, and in good condition. I've sent normal 9.5x4" envelopes with 30+ cards (3 stacks) and top loaders this way. Never any problems. Sure, first class tracking gives people warm fuzziest about security, but it's really not any "safer" than PWE. Buying insurance is what's actually safer, but that crap is expensive. I've got refs out the wazoo, and if you rob me of fifty bucks worth of cards, I don't really care. In that scenario, I already forgive you, but congrats on being a piece of trash I guess.

International trades:
International tracking costs are insane. I'm not going to be inclined to trade internationally if it's gonna require tracking unless I reeeeeeeally want what you're offering. So the trade should be cheap enough that PWE won't make either of us nervous (like <$50).

Please stamp your envelopes correctly. Having to pay the difference between the correct postage and your postage when i get the envelope is super annoying. Especially because it's super easy to add an Extra Ounce stamp to the envelope.
.
cheat sheet if you don't have a small scale:
1 ounce = 28 grams
1 card = 1.8 grams (foils 2.0g)
1 6.5x3.5" envelope = 3g
1 9.5x4" envelope = 6g
1 top loader = 7g
sleeves vary, but are VERY light, especially penny sleeves.

As of today (1/20/2022) I'm new to deckbox, but i've been trading online for years through Facebook (refs here https://www.facebook.com/groups/mtgreferences/permalink/317152649005125/), Pucatrade (over $10,000 in cards traded over 5 years), Discord, and now i'm starting here. Shipping non-machinable PWE will save you so much money vs tracking, you'll thank me later. I think it might actually be safer than bubble mailers overall because I STILL see horrific posts about sorting machines absolutely shredding bubble mailers.
