I played in an Unhinged draft a couple of weeks ago. I pulled a foil Mountain. I can sell it now for $32 store credit. How quickly will this card go up in value? I am not in any particular need for store credit/more cards. I am just worried that if I hold onto it too long then it will start bending/warping and lose value. The Texas summer gets pretty hot and humid so I have never been good at taking care of foil cards.

Considering it is store credit, it is fair deal. If you store your cards in a well air conditioned environment and no prolonged sun exposure, the card should be fine. You can also store cards in a box and put silica gel packs to absorb the moisture. That will prevent any warpings.
I wanted to buy a playset of Fetch lands but they are quite expensive. I need 4 Marsh Flats and 4 verdant catacombs. Could anyone give me some advice on these? The current price on Marsh Flats $35 each Verdant Catacombs $40 each (ebay BIN lowest)

Umm, fetch lands are pretty key for Modern, and are not likely to go down before they're reprinted. If you need them now, buy them now. The prices that you've quoted seem reasonable.
Many people (including me) are predicting a reprint in the medium future - that is, 1-2 years out. When that happens, the prices will drop. If you can afford to wait that long, then by all means wait, but it sounds like you're building a deck, so you'd have to ask yourself whether the deck will be as good without access to the best lands in the format (the answer is no).
??? (BTW I don't play legacy and don't care for foils)
There's an A vs B Trade thread where this probably goes. Foil Deathrites are $65 and holding for the moment since their modern ban. Decays are about 10, Seize 15, Steam Vents 10. So I'd say ask for more for your foil.
I have an offer for Verdant Catacombs at $50 each, which is the mid-price on TCG Player.
I'm just not sure if it's better to sell now or wait until Modern picks up. I can only sell locally and will not be attending tournaments, and this offer I can sell without any eBay fees, etc.
I've read mixed reveiews (e.g. it's already Modern "season" so the wait won't affect it that much plus there's speculation of reprinting in 2015).
Just thought I'd ask if it would be considered a bad idea to sell Fetches now given they're staples?
Selling Fetches can be a tough call. There's a chance they may never get reprinted and if down the road you want to use them they could be much more. I have contemplated selling mine but right now they do a lot of good work for me in a variety of decks so they are worth holding onto. I dont have the time off to go to major tournaments but even them causal play they come n very handy. If you need the funds or dont get much use from it Id sell them.
I pulled a FOIL Stifle from Conspiracy. Should I sell or trade or keep? I could have about 33$ at my LGS in trade or 25$ cash. Do you guys think it might go up over time and that I should keep it?
Got two boxes of Conspiracy. Opened Dack Fayden, 2x Stifle and Exploration. Should I sell these ASAP? Will their prices drop after the release hype has faded and more product is opened?
I think the boat's sailed on foil shocks, but they aren't a bad long term investment if you're going to use them. I imagine they'll spike sometime down the road. You could try speculating on the Temple Garden I suppose.

Dack Fayden and Exploration will most definitely drop. Stifle is a tricky one. Scourge Stifles are over $20 and don't seem to be coming down much recently. It's possible that the Conspiracy ones can go closer to this price (I think they're at $14 right now), but it's more likely that the Scourge ones will start to fall. The FOIL Scourge ones have already fallen about 10% since Conspiracy was opened.

I would say Stifle is a great long term spec but the others will be worth little. The real money with Exploration was in the foils as it has never been foil before.
So I've been bitten by the legacy bug hard core and have been building miracles. I still need a bunch of cards, and have had thoughts of selling off some pieces of my modern UWR control to help pay for it which has been gathering dust lately.
I'm also moving to North Carolina where it seems as if the modern scene is small to none and the legacy scene is huge.
Here is what I would sell off:
4 Celestial Colonnade
2 Cryptic Command
4 Remand
4 path to exile?
Bunch of RTR duals like steam vents and hallowed fountain.
I have a foil Conspiracy Rout, it sold-out day one at SCG for $19.99 so I suspect whomever wants it is willing to pay that and more.
The problem is who would want it? It's a beautiful card, but it only sees fringe play in EDH.
Do I move it at $20 or wait a couple months?
4 path to exile?
Bunch of RTR duals like steam vents and hallowed fountain.
Sell them during modern season at their apex, buy them back in november when they crash. Don't sell the rest of the listed cards, you may need that for legacy brewing.

Just make sure you finish the deck. I got 70% of the way into RUG Delver a year ago before I realized two things. One, I still had to spend $400 on Goyfs, and two, the shop that did Legacy was further from campus than I thought.

Conspiracy Rout foils can be easily had on eBay for slightly under $20 shipped. The price will go down over the next couple months (as more Conspiracy is opened), and then rise slightly in a year or so (when people realize that no Conspiracy has been opened for a while). If you want to get about $15 for it, eBay it now. If you want more, you'll have to hold it for a while.

I don't think that this will hold at $40. It's not that good. And it's got such a generic name that it could easily be reprinted anywhere.

That's pretty good. The last few auctions I've seen on ebay recently have all gone for around $1000 or less.
