Agreed. Kalonian Hydra is probably a $10 Mythic at best, so do the math on a FOIL one.
I bought a Scrubland in EX condition from my local LGS for $55. It was listed at $60, but I bargained with the guy and they're usually pretty good in this respect. (Since I had previously seen one at a store at a PTQ in EX for $55, but didn't have the money at the time.)
I think the only main deck that Scrubland is in is EsperBlade, I believe.
Dark maverick and zombardment also play it. Junk and rock variants like nic fit can also run it. I'd instantly sell at 83 a pop though... That's above some dealer sell prices.
At five apiece, I think you're fine. There's enough Modern, EDH, and casual demand to maintain a $5 price tag; it's an efficient and undercosted beater that's easily splashed as well, and the creature type ensures continued casual demand.
I'm not averse to this, even if you might be able to pick them up a little cheaper on rotation.

Went to a new shop from a friend's recommendation, DQ'ed for willful violation of CR 100.6b.
Sell at $27 like it's nobbody's business. The card is at $21 on TCGLow and unless it finds a suitable deck post-Theros it's going to go the same route as Sublime Archangel.
I find it very hard to realistically expect this to be anywhere near that price anytime soon. Grab them while you can. Ever since Modern became a format people have expected fetches to get reprinted, and it has yet to happen. It is very hard to go wrong getting a fetchland at that price.
Anything better than HP here is a snap buy. The ZEN fetches just keep going up and will continue that way until they're reprinted.
That seems like a very toxic asset to have though. You know these will be reprinted at some point. There is a 1-2 year delay on when WotC wants to print something and when it gets to the players. We have been expecting a reprint for a while now and WotC also doesn't want the price of decks to be a barrier for players in modern.
Just like they reprinted shock lands to bring down their price fetches will get a reprint. I wouldn't want to be holding any when that happens. Shocks were around $40 and after reprint <$10.
If you can move them quickly sure buy it. If you are going to hold it I wouldn't want to be there when the bubble pops.
Buy Thundermaw Hellkite @ $12 or wait after rotation?
Buy Thundermaw Hellkite @ $12 or wait after rotation? => wait, modern/legacy playability can't sustain the current price so quantities will shoot up and the price will drop. Its a good post rotation target (you can pick it up for like 5-8 then)
Buy foil RUSSIAN promo scavenging ooze for $30? => I wouldn't buy here. The promo is carrying a lower value outside the US and Russian isn't an in demand language, your better off picking up english foils.
Dark maverick and zombardment also play it. Junk and rock variants like nic fit can also run it. I'd instantly sell at 83 a pop though... That's above some dealer sell prices.

I see them on Craigslist for 300. And on ebay for 350....

As well as predictions on RTR block shocks? Should I be picking them up or freely trading them?

misty @ 37 (I would call it a hold/buy). I wouldnt buy a ton of these at that price but I would not sell for sure as they are heading up.
