Sold a pretty big collection to them (700 trade value) for MTGO credit. Everything was super smooth and easy, only thing was more than a little disapointing was not selling Event tix, then buying Bot tix and after I bought 60 tix from the bot found out they're charging 1.50 per ticket. Nothing I could do about it cause I need the tix for tourneys for my new decks, but I was a little disapointed that they're not selling them in store, and then selling so much on the bot.
I can't say enough good things about their customer service through the trade process though, they replied to every e-mail in a timely fashion, and was very quick to have the credit available.
EDIT: Just a quick update, they were QUICK to message me and get any sort of troubles worked out. I feel more than happy about my experience and will continue to give mtgotraders all my business as it comes up.

Can you e-mail me(mtgo(at)mtgotraders.com) the full details of which bot you traded with and when? The reason we sell tickets for 1.5 on the bot is we had people doing a mini "exploit" involving buying bot credits for cheap and then getting tickets for less than we sold them for on the site so we just bumped them up to a price that would hopefully discourage anyone from buying them on the bot. Since you bought them unknowing of the price I can refund you the difference and I'll be happy to sell you some more tickets at our regular price if you still need more for playing with.
The reason they are not for sale on the site right now is we only sell them when we have a surplus and right now our buybots and hotlist have been needing them all to buy more singles. Please contact us with any other questions or problems as I'm always happy to help and want to make sure your 100% satisfied.

As per usual, all transactions I have had with them whether on mtgo or for physical cards have always been flawless. Customer service has always been great, and I appreciate the willingness to chat every now and then if I want to talk about something with them :). Look forward to doing more business with them in the future.
Ordered $20 of cards from them yesterday, got the DC email and the dc claims the package arrived several weeks ago. In Arizona.
Thankfully the error was someone not paying attention when typing in the DC number, and the correct number was sent to me, but ☺☺☺☺ like that is not only uncalled for, it reeks of opportunism to rip on larger orders. I wont be using them anytime soon.
Negative post without evidence + rip insinuation without actual rip or evidence = warning

While its never good for errors like that to occur, human error does happen, especially with businesses that do a huge volume of sales. There is no need to assume that they were somehow trying to pull something on you, what reason do you have to believe that without any other evidence? If you dont want to use them of course that is completely up to you, but to somehow accuse them of trying to rip you or something is beyond rediculous. If you have further information that would lead you to suspect that they were trying to do that, feel free to post that for us. Otherwise, it sounds like, once again, it was an honest mistake, and they resolved it quickly.

This. I mean if they wanted to rip you surely they could do better than to send you a dc number that says the package was delivered WEEKS before you made the order right?

This is the first I have heard of this problem. This could be a number of problems such as an issue with tcgplayer if you ordered through them or crystalcommerce which is the same back end that countless other sites use. I don't understand why you would post a thread accusing us of something like this when there is no proof for what your accusing us of. I just looked back over our e-mails and did not see anything from you about this issue so you didn't even give us a chance to explain via e-mail before making us look bad in this thread. I care a lot about our reputation and we have been around for a very long time(mtgotraders.com) and would not risk our long history of good customer service over ripping someone off for 20 bucks.
If you would like to talk with me over the phone or e-mail I would be happy to and you can call my personal cell if you need. Just e-mail me [email]info@capefeargames.com[/email] and I'll send you the cell number.

Well I've been a long term customer to mtgotraders(since mid v2.5) and I can't really complain too much about them,a few issues with their bots charging me for cards I took then removed but thats more likely a bug then heath trying to make a few extra buks.
For my order with capefeargames its wasn't bad but it left me a bit disappointed.
First off I failed to notice the free shipping on orders of over $100 on singles(my order was for $90),then I found out about the mtgoplayer coupon code ,so I missed out on a free jittie :(,but those are all my fault and not the stores.
Secondly is buying basic lands from them,they gave me two diffren't arts for the land I order which really ticked me off since I now have to pay attention to which lands my oppent has seen or not and also as a "collector"(i like to buy basic lands I don't own with every deck I make).
The way they packaged the cards for shipping also seemed unprofessional ,what they did was have the cards all wrapped up in shrink wrap then wedged between two of those hard collectors sleeves, then scotted taped together.Sure it prevents them from getting the corners banged up like SCG does with their cases but it just seemed very "ghetto" like.
Overall I doubt I will be returning due to their limited stock ,why drive 10 miles to omally's to pick up my beer and then another 5 miles to the giant for my pretzels when I can drive 4 miles and get them all at walmart(scg)
(also,the lack of a deck builder search like on scg is a huge turn off when trying to compare prices/save time/see whats in stock)

Thanks much for leaving feedback here. I'll do my best to respond to all of your points.
Bot credit: Please e-mail us if you see this happening. We have not had a bot error in over 2 years but get complaints a lot from people thinking they lost credits due to MTGO bugs. Once they re-log they realize that they have the correct amount of credits/tickets/cards and since it is a bug with MTGO there is not much I can do about it other than to make people aware that they should re-log if they notice anything off. Our bots keep full logs of everything that happens and if there is an error we are notified. As soon as a trade is completed the bot rechecks your credits and rechecks it's inventory based on what you took. It does this after re-logging which prevents the MTGO bug from causing any issues on our side. It cannot of course tell if the MTGO trade bug effected the person it was trading with.
Coupons: I feel like we offer some great coupons that some of the "walmart" type stores do not offer. If you want to e-mail me at [email]info@capefeargames.com[/email] with your order number I will look back at it and give you store credit based on the mtgoplayer coupon.
Basic Lands: As newer sets come out, Crystal Commerce separates the Basics into four different arts. The older lands are currently under one picture. If you would like to request a specific art you can always email us, [email]info@capefeargames.com[/email] we have been able to accommodate a few of these requests. If you want to just use the store credit I gave you to buy some new basic lands just leave a note in the order comment section letting the shipping guys know that you want all of the same land.
Shipping: We try to reduce the costs of shipping and pass those on to our customers. We haven't had any complaints about cards arriving damaged. I'm not sure if "ghetto" is the correct word, but our shipping rates are cheaper than most of the other companies. We also ship in a bubble mailer (not an envelope). Our goal is not to have pretty shipping but to protect your cards and save you money. We have tried some of the other methods that look better but we noticed they tend to have problems with the edges and especially the corners of cards getting damaged. We are open to ideas though if you know of a way that looks good and protects as well as our current method.
Card Selection: We are always buying, and check our buyprices versus our competitors. You might be surprised at what we are paying. We are working to get a larger selection of cards from Alpha forward. We have also only been doing paper singles for a tad over a year so while our selection is growing rapidly we are having to play catch up to get our selection up to where it should be.
Deck Builder Search: We actually have something similar in our multi-search feature. http://www.capefeargames.com/products/multi_search
Copy and paste a decklist and it will bring up each product variant in your search.
We do always appreciate comments/criticism as that is how we grow and become a better company. Thank you for your comments.

had an excellent experience selling a large collection of rares to Cape Fear Games. They will even sort them and price them for you (for a small fee)! All I had to do was throw 800 rares in a box and they sent me paypal as soon as they got them. I highly recommend them if you have rares you need to clear out!
I may even do this for all my rares in the future, so I don't have to go through the hassle of posting on the sale thread, shipping, etc.
I have done business with them online and in person at a dealer booth for NC States last year. I am very pleased with there service, so much in fact I will be attending there IQ coming up, a solid 2 hour drive for me.
I've been a regular customer of Cape Fear Games for over a year now. They do everything I want a online singles seller to do-ship fast so I have my cards for my tournaments and have the cards I need in stock so I can do one-shop shopping. I've also had excellent experience buying through their web storefront to get credits for their MTGO bots.
Top-tier retailer for sure for me, right up there with SCG in terms of stock and responsiveness (but usually cheaper).
I got my buylist credit today and just when I was about to pick up a playset of Koths, MTGOTraders goes out of stock I suppose I'll just have to wait patiently.

No need to wait. Just msg whoever is working and ask them to move some of the cards from the bots to the website or you can just buy bot credits on the site and buy them on the bots.
Did everything else go smoothly selling the cards?

Oh nice. Yeah, Everything went smoothly! I got slightly more than I thought I would, and the customer service was great. The processing was super fast too, considering I put the cards to post on Thursday. How do I message someone working, btw?

Still no koths around, so i just picked up a SoFaF. Overall the experience was pleasant, would recommend. You guys will almost definitely get any karns I open at a prerelease!
I've sold cards and purchased cards twice each from capefear in the last month or so and all four times were great. In both the sales store credit and or paypal funds were deposited the day of receipt and both of my purchases were to me within 3 days, shipped promptly after my order.
Someone above mentioned their packaging, which admittedly can be a little odd when you open it initially as on from my experience they get creative with singleton hard cases, penny sleeves and scotch tape as opposed to using the rigid boxes other suppliers use. However, in both cases the cards were packed securely so they wouldn't slide around and kept the corners protected for shipping, completely superior to hard boxes in all but looks. I'll take function over form every time.
Prices tended to be pretty competitive, especially on commons/uncommons, better than many, worse than some others, but the prompt service makes it worth ordering from them in my opinion. Keep up the good service.
I've purchased hundreds of dollars of mtgo cards from mtgotraders in numerous transactions. They are reliable and quick to respond with easy to search inventory online. I only ever had 1 problem with a card I ordered being out of stock, and they were quick to notify me of the temporary glitch that caused it and generously compensated me for the error.
I've been doing business with MTGO Traders since I've started on MTGO and always have come out satisfied. But recently I decided to sell off a bunch of my paper cards. I had a large chunk of cards from the Alara block as well as the Lorwyn and Shadowmoor blocks. I first went to TrollandToad.com and noticed that they had a HUGE list for the Alara block cards (and good prices). Since Alara was the bulk of what I wanted to unload I started with them.
As I compared cards to buylist though, I noticed that the apatite they had for Alara was not the same for Lorwyn/Shadowmoor. I had a lot of good cards from those blocks that just were not on the list at all. So I took a jump to Starcity and saw that they were not too keen on the Lorwyn/Shadowmoor cards either. Not good.
Later I was on MTGOTraders and remembered reading that their storefront buys paper. So I hopped on Cape Fear Games to check out their buylist. I was immediately impressed with the shopping card system on their website that you can use when selling them cards. This is just sooooo much easier to deal with than the manual lists that you need to create when selling to other stores. They also wanted almost all of my Lorwyn/Shadowmoor cards AND offered the most competitive prices to boot! They also took almost all of my leftover Alara cards that TrollandToad didn't take from me!
I shipped them off and after 2 days I got an email from them stating that they had received the package. Within an hour of that I got confirmation that what I sent was acceptable and that they had credited my paypal account with my $$$$. WOW. No that's quick service. I sent them about $130 worth of cards, none of which were worth more than $5, so they definitely had some cards to go through so this was not easy job.
I've been buying/selling from MTGO Traders ever since I started in MTGO and they are excellent.
I've spend hundres of dollars in their site and bots and I never had any problems, very quick and great customer service.
They also sponsor my favorite PRE Chaos Commander :D, I try to recommend them to all my friends who start in MTGO.
BOught 70 dollars worth of cards from Cape Fear games last week. I ordered on Friday. They arrived on Monday. Could not believe how fast they came. Packaging was okay, not great, but the cards arrived in pristine condition and arrived way sooner than expected. Thumbs up!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave feedback. We actually ship orders out the same day they are placed if the order comes in before 3pm EST and when you get an e-mail saying it was shipped that means it is actually shipped unlike what some other sites do(not saying names). As for the packaging would you mind letting me know what you did not like about it? We have tried a ton of different methods and the ones that typically look the best are also the ones that have the least protection. If you have seen packaging that looks better and protects better please let me know as we are always looking for ways to improve.

For my order with capefeargames its wasn't bad but it left me a bit disappointed.
First off I failed to notice the free shipping on orders of over $100 on singles(my order was for $90),then I found out about the mtgoplayer coupon code ,so I missed out on a free jittie :(,but those are all my fault and not the stores.
Secondly is buying basic lands from them,they gave me two diffren't arts for the land I order which really ticked me off since I now have to pay attention to which lands my oppent has seen or not and also as a "collector"(i like to buy basic lands I don't own with every deck I make).
The way they packaged the cards for shipping also seemed unprofessional ,what they did was have the cards all wrapped up in shrink wrap then wedged between two of those hard collectors sleeves, then scotted taped together.Sure it prevents them from getting the corners banged up like SCG does with their cases but it just seemed very "ghetto" like.
Overall I doubt I will be returning due to their limited stock ,why drive 10 miles to omally's to pick up my beer and then another 5 miles to the giant for my pretzels when I can drive 4 miles and get them all at walmart(scg)
(also,the lack of a deck builder search like on scg is a huge turn off when trying to compare prices/save time/see whats in stock)

Advantages of MTGO over paper magic
Someone above mentioned their packaging, which admittedly can be a little odd when you open it initially as on from my experience they get creative with singleton hard cases, penny sleeves and scotch tape as opposed to using the rigid boxes other suppliers use. However, in both cases the cards were packed securely so they wouldn't slide around and kept the corners protected for shipping, completely superior to hard boxes in all but looks. I'll take function over form every time.
Prices tended to be pretty competitive, especially on commons/uncommons, better than many, worse than some others, but the prompt service makes it worth ordering from them in my opinion. Keep up the good service.
Highly recommended.
As I compared cards to buylist though, I noticed that the apatite they had for Alara was not the same for Lorwyn/Shadowmoor. I had a lot of good cards from those blocks that just were not on the list at all. So I took a jump to Starcity and saw that they were not too keen on the Lorwyn/Shadowmoor cards either. Not good.
Later I was on MTGOTraders and remembered reading that their storefront buys paper. So I hopped on Cape Fear Games to check out their buylist. I was immediately impressed with the shopping card system on their website that you can use when selling them cards. This is just sooooo much easier to deal with than the manual lists that you need to create when selling to other stores. They also wanted almost all of my Lorwyn/Shadowmoor cards AND offered the most competitive prices to boot! They also took almost all of my leftover Alara cards that TrollandToad didn't take from me!
I shipped them off and after 2 days I got an email from them stating that they had received the package. Within an hour of that I got confirmation that what I sent was acceptable and that they had credited my paypal account with my $$$$. WOW. No that's quick service. I sent them about $130 worth of cards, none of which were worth more than $5, so they definitely had some cards to go through so this was not easy job.
Overall I give them 5/5 stars - good work!
I've spend hundres of dollars in their site and bots and I never had any problems, very quick and great customer service.
They also sponsor my favorite PRE Chaos Commander :D, I try to recommend them to all my friends who start in MTGO.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave feedback. We actually ship orders out the same day they are placed if the order comes in before 3pm EST and when you get an e-mail saying it was shipped that means it is actually shipped unlike what some other sites do(not saying names). As for the packaging would you mind letting me know what you did not like about it? We have tried a ton of different methods and the ones that typically look the best are also the ones that have the least protection. If you have seen packaging that looks better and protects better please let me know as we are always looking for ways to improve.
