I understand that prices are rising and are doing so at previously unseen speeds. Looking at a post-spike price and immediately coming to post about it on a forum still has no positive impact. It's adding credence to the ridiculously inflated prices, a similar problem to buying into the spike. We can't stop people from buying out cards. We can't stop panicked reaction purchases. We can't do anything about price memory. What we can do is try and mitigate the effects of those things and saying in a public setting that a card has risen to 3-5x the value that it's currently available for is actively working against that. If someone does a google search for MtG buyouts and stumbles on this thread, I don't want the only things written to be reinforcing the inflated listings and buyout fueled pricing.
If I'm coming off strong on this, it's because this keeps coming up. We can talk about buyouts and increasing prices while still talking about prices as they relate to what people are willing to pay (when that data is available, as in the case of Beta Camouflage) and the discussion is going to be more meaningful than the prices people are listing at.

Holy crap! It was an example- can you spell it with me E-X-A-M-P-L-E... is everything so concrete with you. Doesn't matter if it goes from $4 to $15, or $20, or $50, the fact that it has stayed the same price for what was most likely a decade, then get's sucked into the hype/buy-out vortex means it's moving like it didn't before.
Yes, the card is moving. But it's not moving as much as you say it is. You literally said that it's a $58 card now when that's patently untrue. Weebo found several places where the card can be had for under $10. The price of a card is not the highest that someone's asking for it, it's either the median asking price or the lowest asking price (depending on who's doing the shopping). I could pick a card that's not on this buyout and find an outlying price and claim that it too is skyrocketing.
I think by ignoring the jumps isn't going to make things worse. The main reason for this thread is to discuss price changes.
And that's the problem right there. You're not wrong about your underlying message - these cards are moving, when they didn't before. But you're using - and PRESENTING - garbage data to draw some incorrect conclusions. You're making it easier to ignore the legitimate price movements by cherrypicking data and blowing things out of proportion. Nobody is arguing that reserve list manipulation isn't happening, but we are saying that it's not having as much of an effect as you're claiming. If you had said "Look what happened today: Beta Camouflage went from a $4 card to a $20 card... yipes!!!" and pointed at a completed sale at that price, we would've given your whole argument significantly more credence.

Interesting discussion going here, altough it saddens me how few participants we have these days.
One thing that I didn't see anybody pointing out yet is what we all should expect these spikes to cause as secondary effects...
All duals and P9 cards should see a significant uptick. Some are already doing this, but I foresee all of them following. This is basically the same thing that happened when revised duals jumped in 2009, modern staples jumped, Zen Fetches jumped etc. And everytime when stores finally upped their buy-prices, people flooded them with the newly more expensive cards and bought duals and low-end power (Twister, cheaper Moxes, unlimited duals etc.) and when those prices needed to be corrected the expensive p9 started to feel underpriced and allowed people to trade in few Moxen to get an Ancestral Recall or trade their unlimited duals for few betas etc. (And this increase in price will lead some people who were very close to buying Unl P9 pieces to choose CE or ICE versions, leading to incresed demand on those, which is already happening...)
Another effect of these buy-outs is that collectors of old sets, who normally take their time, have accelerated their rate of acquisition, which is mostly why we see the alpha and beta spikes on random cards like Camouflage, which aren't on the reserved list. The market only has limited amount of the 93/94-period cards, so any additional interest will increase the price at this point. There are also some collectors (myself included) who collect some alpha cards just for fun and will gladly sell some formerly bulk Lg rares to finance a new burst of activity.
And last, there's now a major financial redistribution going on. Group of people have pumped propably few hundred thousand bucks to the MtG-market buying reserved-list cards in a few short months, and knowing Magic players, lot of that money will go towards other cards. I know I have sold a lot of high end commnder foils to people, who have sold a stack of cards they had got when first starting playing in the mid 90s. I will naturally put some of the money towards some of my less important collection goals (like set of alpha Kudzu, I would have loved to own twenty years ago for my GR-LD-deck) which can sometimes lead to additional effects on the market...
Lot of the people who have sold their reserved list cards are entrentched players, who already have large collections, so they will put their gains into cards they want, which often are legacy and vintage staples and reserved list cards. This means that I believe strongly that while the reserve buy-outs will most likely calm down in a while, there will be a notable increase across the board in dual lands, power and high end old cards, which will keep going for at least few months after these buy-outs slow down, before the inevitable downtick in value, which usually happens after a price increase, when the market tries to find the new balance betwen supply and demand and the less patient speculators try to unload their copies.
There's also the 'organic' dual value increase caused by legacy GPs, which had already caused some upward pressure towards other legacy staples, so it's hard to say exactly how strong the RL-buy-out effect actually is, but at least we finally will see how many copies of the old cards will find their ways out of the closets and attics of retired players when the market finds the new price equilibrium and those cards start selling again.
All of these price increases have got me thinking, at what point are prices felt to be cemented? For example (sory, it's late & I am not researching prices for this example), when will Revised Wheel of Fortune's price of around $100 be a true reflection? It's price has been pretty high for a while now. When does the community begin to accept the prices are real & not an inflation anymore?
I am adking this now because I haven't seen any of the prices retreat to their original standings prior to this summer. Basically, when does the "cooling off period" end? Or does the volatility of the market mean nothing will stay the same (always in flux & mtgstocks will further add fuel to an existing fire).
Just hoping for a period of calm & normal, regardless of the finally accepted price.
I was pretty much referring to the Reserved List buy-outs. Anything reprintable is a non-issue.
The reason I asked was 2-part:
I pick up cards on Puca Trade. I would like to know when certain RL cards will reflect the tcgplayer average so I can either add to my wants list, or remove from my wants list. Also, I have been holding off from trading away RL cards in Puca Trade out of fear that the card(s) sent away will jump after I have sent them. This already happened with Corpse Dance.
I also habe a few RL cards I want to buy, but am wary because of price fluctuations. I have been wanting a couple All from Caito's & am going to venture a guess that he ain't ever going down. Same goes for Forcefield & Gauntlet of Might.
All of these price increases have got me thinking, at what point are prices felt to be cemented? When does the community begin to accept the prices are real & not an inflation anymore?
These are good questions, and unfortunately I don't think that anyone has the answer. I'd say that we'll probably see a couple categories.
1) Cards like Wheel of Fortune that are played a ton in EDH/casual circles. The demand for Wheel is more organic, and while investors are able to make the price jump, it's probably harder because so many copies are in decks, but people are also more willing to pry them out of those decks if the price goes too high. It's almost like a safety valve - if the price pressure goes too high, more copies appear on the market, and people who're "working the market" don't want to have to constantly scour to buy up all the copies. So my guess is that these cards will start to smooth out pretty soon.
2) Cards like Gaea's Cradle that are legitimate irreplaceable Legacy staples. So many copies of these cards are "locked" into decks that they may as well not exist. It's easy to push the price on these, since there are so few on the market at any time, so I imagine that these are just not going to recover. The new price on Underground Sea is $375, that's just what it is. There isn't much flex in supply on these - they're locked into people's decks, so unless folks abandon Legacy en masse we're not going to see many new copies on the market in response to the increased price.
3) Cards like Thunder Spirit that are just kind of reserved. It's not a great card. People bought them because they were rare and hard to find. These are the Paris Hiltons of MTG - they're expensive because they're expensive. These are fully at the mercy of the market, and because the price jumped so fast a lot of people (Except for me. I am lazy.) thought that it was worth digging them out of their bulk, allowing manipulators to snap up remaining supply in one go. Will prices smooth out as people realize that there is literally no market for Marjhan? Impossible to say, since we are not the ones doing the manipulation.
These are, at this point, only guesses on my part. It's very hard to see the whole thing, and impossible to affect with our resources (I am assuming that you do not have a spare million dollars lying around). Hopefully this helps, even though it's just speculation.

Only the casual players, the old fogeys, the collectors, and the Magic 93/94'ers will care about this, but it is starting to look like nothing from Arabian Nights, Legends, Antiquities or The Dark, that is rare, is an easy grab. I've been watching for 3 months now and cards NOT on the Reserved list are being bought up & price's are jumping like a rabbit on crack... Hell, even some commons and uncommon are in the ridiculous range, such as Repentant Blacksmith.
Original Shapeshifter has a median price of $55. I know the Market Price is only around $4, but that low price isn't going to stay. This is the time to hunt those swapmeets and garage sales for anything from the above mentioned sets before Market Price's start to reflect a fraction of the median prices. Even a 25% reflection of the median price will feel high if you're chasing a place set online.
But I know, if it's not a Reserved card jump, a Standard card jump, or a Modern card jump, no one blinks. But guess what, that is when it happens when no one is looking and the window has already closed.

And yes, the sky is falling...
Yeah, the price jump on the non-RL cards caught me by surprise. My Antiquities and The Dark sets are complete but I still want cards to finish Arabian Nights and Legends. Had a few cards in my basket the day before payday and the next morning every card from those two sets skyrocketed. Some by as much as 1500%.
It's totally bizarre. Original cards from those four sets are leap frogging but no one is touching reprints like those in Chronicles.
What the heck is going on? I've been trying to watch the channels to see what triggered this speculation, but you're the first to say anything.
Only thing I can think of is speculation on the upcoming Masters set?

I don't think that you're the only one looking to finish out old sets. At this point those sets are ridiculously underprinted (as opposed to just regularly underprinted), so they are things of worth for their ancientry alone. With WOTC pushing nostalgia for the 25-year mark, people are looking at grabbing a piece of an older set. It only takes a few.

All that I have to say is "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Watermarket foils." (current TCGmid pricing is $132.50).
I don't think that it's worth what people are asking, but it's definitely going to end up above the $5 that it was going for mid-February.
Everyone who thought you'd be discussing silver-border spikes, please raise your hand.
is definitely warranted. I can't think of any reason other than WotC did something hinky with the foil printing?
Or maybe it's in conjunction of that premium only unset card whose name I can't remember right now.
I honestly can't see people going nuts over this card all because of M25...?
There were no foil jokes in UN3. I was very disappointed (UN2 had a lot of foil-only jokes, mostly watermarks, plus Super Secret Tech). As far as I can tell, Watermarket is as fully available in foil as any other rare (I paid $2 for one a few weeks ago). I think that it's probably either
A) Legitimate casual demand for a Sol land
B) Cube ditto ditto (I know one guy who'd already begun to adjust his cube to have a "watermark-matters" theme for this card before we saw the first 25M spoiler)
C) Someone speculating on a set that's probably got less supply than a normal set and an effect that's pretty powerful with Masters25.

Only bringing this up because how high the asking price is: FTV: Relics Mox Diamond has hit the roof. Last night the asking price was around $800 w/ 4 or 5 listings on TCGPlayer. This morning there are a few more asking prices hovering around $500. Even if it starts selling at $300, that's still double the price before.

There must've been a buy-out, again.
Asking prices are for the most part not very useful in determining the actual value of a card. While asking prices CAN affect the perception around a card, I think that it almost always makes more sense to just check something like "Sold Listings" on ebay to see what money people are actually willing to pay for something.
As of yesterday copies were selling for ~$190, but there are only a few copies of that card on ebay at the moment, and several cards on tcgplayer all asking for double that (~$400+). One of two things will likely happen in the short term. One: people decide to continue buying FTV: Mox Diamonds at twice the price they were yesterday and the price is justified and stabilizes becoming the new norm even with people deciding to dump theirs, or two: people don't buy at >$400 and the price regulates to some degree over a short period of time while more copies enter the market.
To track back to the original point though, the actual value of the card is ~$190 until people start buying it at higher prices, which no one has yet that I am able to tell.
Wow, the prices of cards these days just keeps going up. Revised Shivan Dragon is around $10, Legends Sylvan Library is over $100, Antiquities Strip Mine seems to be under a buyout with prices north of $75, Humility, Academy Rector, Living Plane, Helm of Obedience, ect. And like Shivan Dragon, there seems to be a move into Revised cards now, even stuff like Demonic Tutor has gone up. I remember when there was basically no difference between 4th and Revised, but that has no started to change.
So, it is no longer the "Four Horsemen" of Magic (Legends, Arabian Nights, Antiquities and The Dark) that are easy spec targets, now just about any card from the Reserved list that is playable is being targeted for buy-outs.
WARNING: IF there are ANY cards you want that haven't been bought out, I suggest to trade or buy for them ASAP!!!
I have a few friends that are picking up RL cards whenever they can, even if it's just a 50 cent/dollar card. We haven't gotten to the point of rubbish being targeted, so at least there's time to get the jank you want.
I am speccing that buy 2020, there won't be a Reserved List card under $5.
Mostly due to the interaction w/ Neoform (a 40 cent uncommon, but it's the catalyst).
It's unsurprising that Rider is spiking again as it did so when Eldritch Evolution came out too. Chancellor spiking is a new one, but the card has been fringe playable in decks like Belcher for a while.
I think the true catalyst to this is that there's potential in Modern for this deck, especially as the London mulligan heavily rewards combo decks like this.

All duals and P9 cards should see a significant uptick. Some are already doing this, but I foresee all of them following.
