Let's not feed the troll, folks. It's been reported.
Back on topic, I think it's safe to say the pre-SOI Puca Drought has been well and truly broken. I've now got over 3500 points worth of cards on their way via the PucaFairies.
I had a very good SoI pre-release season. I was able to send out nearly all my over-priced rares and mythics to people clamoring for new cards, and put those points into cards for Modern.
So what's everyone working on? I'm currently dumping points into foiled pauper decks, plus a few EDH and eternal odds and ends. Also wishing that I hadn't lost my relentless dead to flip it or rip it at the prerelease.
I'm just waiting on a short list of cards I want to add my to my cube, but at this point they've been chilling on my want list with points to spare for months.
So i've been sending cards like a fiend. Pauper and standard has been flying out of my binder. However, i've put modern and some edh stuff in my wants and that stuff is not coming. I'l probably have to overload my wants once all the points come in with a bunch of modern cards to see if people bite for just large chunks of points.
So what's everyone working on? I'm currently dumping points into foiled pauper decks, plus a few EDH and eternal odds and ends. Also wishing that I hadn't lost my relentless dead to flip it or rip it at the prerelease.
Currently I'm working on putting together a pauper battle box. I don't have nearly as many Chainer's Edicts as I need and at that price I might have to figure something else out, because they show up in every deck in that format. Picking up foils for my Cube as usual too.
Also trying to finish up foiling out my Imperial Animar EDH deck, though the banning of Gaea's Cradle in 1v1 has left me kinda down. On top of that I've always got some kind of EDH deck under construction.
Currently, though, still struggling with a massive shipment that went awry. I wrote about it some pages back and I won't really get into it, but I have about 27K that I may or may not ever receive, depending on the admins' decision. I've been going back and forth for about a month on it now.

Has anyone here received a PucaTrade Bug with their cards? If so, I'd love to know, since I'm the guy who has sent out over 150 of them.
PucaTrade Bugs are like geocaching travel bugs. Each is a sheet of paper which contains a record of its travel from one person to the next. Receive a bug, add your info, send it off with your next trade. To make it interesting, I name each bug after a Magic set and sketch the set symbol on it.
I started sending out PucaTrade Bugs back when the site was in beta and the community was a lot smaller. On the old PucaTrade forums, people would let me know when they got a bug and sent it out. As I recall, I sent the "Mirage" Bug to the founder Eric and he passed it on.
I'd love to see some PucaTrade bugs which have been in circulation for a while. Let me know if you've seen one!

Unfortunately, although I've received 950 cards so far and my first trade was September 2013, I've yet to receive a bug.
These days I'm mostly trading in Modern mid-level cards and dumping pre-release cards rares. Maybe they move in other circles.
Anyone using PayPal to create tracking labels? Within MutliOrder Shipping, I can enter the service type and package. Along with the weight/dimension.
What option can I use if I want to add tracking to a PWE?
Media Mail Service- Package/Thick Envelope (1-8 oz) is 2.38 plus .23 tracking (total 2.61)
Parcel Select Ground service - paclage/Think Envelope (1-8 oz) is 5.95 total
First-Class Mail Parcel Service - package/think envelope - 3oz=2.45, 8oz = 2.60
OKay, WTF? I was lucky enough that someone was sending me 4x Dark Petition slightly before the card spiked at ~150 points each. Right now I was looking at my receiving list and it says that it is ~650 per copy. I know my points haven't been deducted any further. They also show up as ~650 in the transaction list. I'm pretty adamant that I did not get them sent at that price.
What gives? A new form of spike protection for senders?
check your ledger. That will show the amount it was sent at.
Its possible it was cancelled and added back to your wants.

No see, that is what's so weird: ledger shows the same amounts but it doesn't add up. The Dark Petitions however are still en route to me, so they haven't been added to my wants again.

It might be a good idea to email someone from Puca then.

I have a regular account and I have (SP ok) in my profile name. I have about 9000 points available and have been waiting on Force of Will for about 3 weeks. I have 3 on my wants list but only enough points for 1.
Should I get more points to make myself more attractive for people wanting to send more than 1?
Also, how long should I wait before I cut bait and settle for something else?
FOW's are in high demand, so many people are offering a bounty. As a regular account holder, you can't compete with that, short of setting up mock trades (which is frowned upon). You are accepting SP, which does work in your favor. You shouldn't need to acquire more points in order to get someone to send you multiple copies, as the card is valuable enough that it's worth a sender's time and postage to send you even a single copy, but at the same time if you're truly after 3, then why wouldn't you try to get more points?
Also, if you haven't yet, try advertising that you're looking for the FOW on the Puca Reddit. I've had luck getting pricey cards by advertising there.
Sorry for the dumb question, but I just started using Reddit, and I want to make sure to link my public profile and not to the edit Profile page.

10 posts on MTGS. 100% of them anti-Puca. Yawn. Time to get some new material dude, you're getting stale.
Thank you for your cooperation
In real life, none of the people who want Sin Prodder and Rattlechains have Muddle the Mixture. But on Puca I was able to effectively trade one for the other.
