Just FYI. I don't know if this belongs here, but seems like the right place.
Card Kingdom has the Commander decks on pre-sale for $25, and you can get all of them for $119. All the other online retailers seem to be sold out at $175 for the set of 5.
Edit: So... after my order I posted here, but I also tweeted the following:
Thanks @MarshallLRcast for advertising @card_kingdom. I pre-ordered my set of #mtgcmdr decks for $120 when everywhere else is $175!
Marshall (from the Limited Resources podcast) re-tweeted it. Now CK is almost sold out and they have upped the decks to $35 and the set to $170! (still cheaper than anywhere else though!)
I just canceled from them and i am wondering when will i get back my money? The order status was on pending and i canceled it because the cards i wanted weren't that good.
Ok, i am most pleased with CK again. My order arrive to a Argentina in something like 9 days, a very good time, and all was in order. My second international order, and all good thanks to CK.

Am I too impatient? Previous orders were shipped same day as I paid, but this one (modestly sized, 20 cards or so) was paid for 2 days ago and I still am stuck with "Queue" status... I was hoping to have the cards in time for FNM (which has been the case with previous orders). Bummer...
Preordered some Innistrad cards plus some other cards for a collection. They shipped for the prices given on the day CK said they would. Five days later they arrived at my door. Well packed in excellent condition as always.
I've sold them ~15 packages, been pleased every time. It takes a few days to get paid, but their prices are really good.

Odds of pulling a JtMS from a WWK pack: 1:80
Odds of pulling any specific rare in 5th Edition: 1:133
So, on average, 1 JtMS every 2.222 boxes or 1 Bird of Paradise every 3.694 boxes. Yeah, I'll take my odds with Mythics, they are easier to get than old rares.

I approve of Card Kingdom as I've had very good experiences with their customer service. Right when Guildpact was out, I had pre-ordered a playset of Stomping Grounds, Godless Shrine, and Steam Vents. After not receiving my cards for two weeks, I found out that my postman had put the package in the wrong mailbox in our apartment building (which I never recovered). I called up Card Kingdom, and they resent the order to me at no extra cost.
Card Kingdom is the best in the business IMO. I have bought and sold from them and there is never an issue. Their customer support staff is top of the line. They are my go to online store!
So, when it comes to high-end stuff, when they say NM do they mean NM? How is their grading process?
They're actually probably the best store around for grading accuracy, IMHO. A personal pet peeve of mine is when I order a NM foil card, and I receive a curled card (even though everything else is NM). I've never received a curled foil from Card Kingdom.

Just a note, that can depend on how it's packaged and transported. Even an hour in high heat can cause a foil to curl. So, if it was transported on a non-ac truck through a hot state, it can curl in transit. If you are ordering from sites that are based in the south versus cardkingdom (based in seattle) that might be a factor.
When I lived in south Florida, you could hardly ever find a foil that wasn't slightly curled. But, you can also somewhat undo that curl by gently bending it back the other way. Practice on some cheap common foils or something till you can do it. You have to kind of roll it to bend it in parts, not just your fingers on each side and bend the whole card the other way (that causes a slight wave effect, as it undoes it more in the middle most part). Really hard to explain in text.
Anyway, on topic, cardkingdom is great. I've sent orders to them here and there, and they always process them extremely quickly. Rishelle is great at customer service too. She's offered to help expedite payment on a few orders for me in the past, but half of the time it wasn't necessary as they processed and paid it within a few hours anyways.
Their buylist prices are pretty competitive. Only capefear seems to have slightly better prices, on average, and process stuff as quickly. These guys are definitely in my top 3, probably 2nd, but the differences between 1st and 2nd are so marginal, they are both basically perfect.
I'm thinking about selli some high end cards to CardKingdom.com and am curious whether anyone has sold them several thousand dollars and what their experience was like.
I have sold over $1,000 of cards to CardKingdom and have been very pleased. Sometimes they pay a bit slow, but their gradings are honest and their buylist is expansive. I have nothing but positives to say about my selling experience with them. If you are worried about selling to them, donkpower, you could sell to them in multiple sell orders.
I've bought multiple packages off them before and each time I do I buy more than $200 worth to qualify for free international shipping.
My only gripe with them is that they don't allow international exporting of sorted/unsorted commons and uncommons sets? (for whatever reason, they are NOT sealed products from wizards, so wotc shipping policy doesn't apply). I actually bought bulk coldsnap and scourge commons from them about 6 years ago, but as of late they've disallowed that privilege to international customers.

Because it's not even close to being profitable to ship bulk cards international.
Cardkingdom is pretty nice when it comes to buying and selling stuff. Their prices are high on some cards and lower on some. All in all its not that bad and I continue to do business with them
Hi, I've made several orders from CK before, and now I want to sell some singles, but I have a question, hope you guys can help me...
As an international seller (I'm from Mexico), can I send the cards through EMS, DHL or Air Mail?? Or they just accept only one kind of shipping method?? If that is true, which one??
In July of 2011 I made my biggest purchase with CK: a beta EX Mox Sapphire. Within minutes of placing my order for overnight delivery I called CK and asked them if they would be able to ship it out that day. The lady on the phone said that she would rush to the post office and try to get it out. I did not realize that overnight shipping order stopped within 15 minutes of calling CK (it was around 2:30 PM PST).
Moments later I got a phone call back from the lady who said she ran to the post office and popped it in the mail for overnight. I received my card the next day and called back thanking them for their extra effort to ensuring I got my purchase.
Not only has CK exceeded my customer satisfaction quota but their prices are very fair. How much did I pay for the beta EX Mox Sapphire you ask? $780 plus shipping.

Now thats awesome customer service right there :). Ive seen a lot of fast shipping these days, but thats FAST shipping, hehehe :). Will definitely have to consider them in the future if I need something special extra fast :).
Just bought a NM Beta Bayou from Card Kingdom. The service was excellent, I love the fact that orders over 200$ get free shipping (even overseas, I live in Norway) and most importantly: The card was truly beautiful. Definately NM. The price was pretty good too, at least compared to other shops (but obviously it cannot compete with a good deal on e-bay).
I HIGHLY recommend Card Kingdom.

Except it's not the cheapest anywhere. There are still a few places going for $150.
WUBRGPauper Battle BoxWUBRG ... and why I am not a fan of Wayne Reynolds' Illustrations.
EDIT: And they are apparently sold out.

I cannot say enough for how good this company is. A++++
Great buylist prices, 20% trade bonus, fast customer service response, fast shipping of product.
