I need a little more information to help you here; is this against dealer prices or apathy/MOTL/ebay prices? Meaning, when you say 3700 trade you mean via SCG price? And are you valuing the second pile against dealer prices as well.

Pile A says that this lot is for playing and hes wondering if he got.a good deal. The duals are all mint. Pile b said he didnt need the cash.but wanted to sell. From value perspective did pile A get a bad deal?
I would rather have the $3300 cash than any other part of the trade, including the $3700 in cards. If you are valuing the $3700 at MOTL/apathy values, the effort/fees/shipping involved in turning those cards into cash is WAY more than $400.
In summation.....Star Trek wins a prolonged naval battle against superior, yet less technologically advanced, numbers, with Picard leading the assault, while Kirk takes your soul by laying out Solo and probably his manservant Chewy as well, before impregnating and ditching your Princess.
Cash Hands down. Even though the cards are rising thats STILL 3300+ in cash. You can do soooo much with 3300 that can benefit you Now and later. Besides in the end its only cardboard.
The pile isn't worth that amount in cash regardless, at least not with any offers I've seen for duals. That being said, if it were, I think depending on the exact pile of cards you are trading for, maybe take the cards.
Okay I was just wondering, thanks for the responses guys. I think the cash is the better option for sure but with somebody who had a lot of liquid maybe taking the cardboard isn't so bad. They are all mint and really icy, and I plan on playing Vintage and Legacy for a long time to come with them. To find all 40 duals in tat condition along with Rav shocklands and 2 Academys and a minty Abyss I figured it was a good deal.
My assessment was pretty much this:
1. This was a long term investment
2. This is not a lot of cards I was seeking to make money off of right now
3. The condition of the lot + being able to play any landbase in any deck and then resell at a later date is very appealing to me.
if any of this doesn't make sense, shed some light for me please? thanks
Seems the good post to ask as we're talking about a full set of revised dual...
What would you ask in Cash difference for a FBB Full Dual SET Vs a Revised one ???
exemple 4 FBB UNsea VS 4 RV UNsea + ?? $
same for the rest of the dual...
You probably know better than I, but I've heard FBB German = 3x Revised if conditions are equal. French a little less than German. Italian a little less than French. eBay prices seem to bear this out.
So I guess that would put the cash difference at 8x the price of a Revised Underground Sea.

Thoughts?
As we've discussed in the past though, it's no hard and fast rule (though a good rule of thumb in general) and the prices of FBBs can fluctuate wildly with low sample size if you just go by ebay completed.

Pile A: 3300$ cash or 3700 in trade
FOR
Pile B: Full playset of revised duallands, full playset of Ravnica Shocklands, 2x Tolarian Academy, 1x The Abyss.
the duals are all in NM or better condition, as in very little flaws.
which pile gets the better deal and why? thanks
I'd prefer pile A, averaging out duals at say 70 per gives 2800 for the duals. The shocklands, academy and abyss don't make 500 bucks.
