Hi everyone. I want to start off by thanking everyone that has helped me so far and that has commented on my posts. I am introducing myself into the online card market. I want to create a perfect site for players. One that is inexpensive, has a competitive buy system and helps out the community. I have already taken a public vow on both Reddit and MTG Salvation that I will never sell a product over MSRP. It doesn't matter what the print run is, what the demand is or what the product contains. You will get the product at MSRP as long as I can purchase it for my original cost. If I can not purchase it for my original cost you will only pay the up charge over MSRP that I pay.
I would like any feedback I can get on my site. If you could please help me out that would be great! All I want is to help make the game affordable again for players. Thank you.
MSRP isn't the end all be all if you are trying to get that for booster boxes. FTV and limited run items yes, $144 for a box of Conspiracy? No. I wouldn't make such a big deal about not charging more than MSRP if you are doing something like that.
Did you really manage to sell out of virtually all Journey Into Nyx rares? Not that I want to buy the bulk rares, but I take that as a promising sign to anyone who is trying to sell off extra Journey cards.
I understand it may be too time consuming to consider, but with the in print sets, it would be nice to see a price even for out of stock items.

I'm not convinced MSRP for a Conspiracy box is 143.63. Is every store selling these at a loss then? Doesn't make sense.
The cost to a store is well below MSRP (well below $100 even since the average box for a current run set often sells around $100). MSRP is purely calculated off the content of a box, which is 36 packs at $3.99 each. Almost no place actually charges MSRP on a box because it is higher than customers are generally willing to pay.

I will always firmly stand by the belief that Magic is a game first and a collectable second.
Thanks for clearing that up, I figured it was something around that. Hm, even then, seems just generally overpriced, but as long as it sticks to their motto I suppose it's fine.
My local game store considers a box price of about $100 the "discounted" price from the MSRP of $144. This comes into play because they do not allow the use of store credit to purchase discounted items. You can use store credit to buy packs at $4 a pop, but not a box at $100.

I've tried calling several times since this has happen and you are not answering and your voicemail is full. This is just letting you know that I will be filing a claim with the BBB and seek legal action against your store.
