Hi, I was wondering if you had a 1st ed Base Electrode? I also have my other wants listed in my sig. They are all older cards for the most part.

[Cyrus]

I'm after a 1st edition Blastoise English and 1st edition Zapdos English. I'd assume you don't have a 1st edition Charizard based on the "wants," but I am after one of those, as well.

Of your wants, I have Flareon*, Celebi* (written on but otherwise NM-M), Espeon* (warped), 1st edition Alakazam, and a damaged Charizard ex.

[Chaos0]

@Tony: I do not, sorry. But I'll look through your list...
Edit: ...the only thing on your wants list that I could offer is a Base set 2 Zapdos...

@Cyrus: I don't have any 1st ed base set holos for trade, sorry. I am looking for them as well.

@Madchamp: No, sorry :(

@Glanders: I like your codes, but I dont want enough more things to add up to a 3DS, sorry.

[Cyrus]

Fantastic, thanks. Of the cards I listed, are there any you want more than others?

[Chaos0]

Which cards? The ones you have or the ones I have for trade?

Edit: Dumb question lol, I assume you ment the ones you have for trade.
Anyways, I'm mostly interested in the Mint ones: Flareon Star, and 1st ed Alakazam base set.

what do you value the 3ds at if its not new?

[Chaos0]

$150 at least. It's not new, but I have barely used it. I could add in the Mario Kart 7 for an extra $30 value.

[Cyrus]

Re Chaos0: the ones that I listed.

Also, while we have plenty to work with, I am interested in the 3DS, especially since we aren't that far apart in value.

[Chaos0]

I am really just interested in the mint ones: Flareon * and Alakazam 1st ed holo base set.
As for the 3DS, I'd like to send that as a separate trade if possible.

[Cyrus]

Can't call the Alakazam mint, either (more like excellent to near mint), so let's just start with Flareon.

About how many of the first edition holos from my wants list do you think you could help me out with for it? Interested in everything including the Raikou, although I'd like to know what's wrong with its condition.

[Chaos0]

OK, flareon * it is.

Anyways, before I make my offer I'd like to know if you'll be wanting the raikou.
It's a little dirty (I'm sure I could clean that), but it also has some whitening on the back, and 2 creases on the front (top right).
If you don't want it that's cool.

[Cyrus]

Hm, since you have so many of my wants, let's just say that I don't for now.

Fire away! =)

[Chaos0]

OK, so how about your:
Flareon * $35


For my:
Rocket's Moltres Holo 1st. Ed $13
The Rocket's Trap Holo 1st Ed $4
Forretress Holo 1st Ed (T&T doesn't have it, but I think $5 seems fair)
Brock's Ninetales Holo 1st Ed $12
TOTAL = $34

If you want, you can pick a $1 card from my list or a badge to even it out.
LMK, thanks.

---------- Post added 03/12/2012 at 05:46 PM ----------

also, what do you mean by "warped?" (your espeon *)

[Cyrus]

The ratios on Rocket's Moltres and Rocket's Trap are a bit off, but at least we generally agree. Even though T&T doesn't have it listed, Forretress is a bottom-feeder holographic worth less than a dollar, and Brock's Ninetales peaks at $7-$8.

For those reasons, I'd probably need about 2-3 more holos to be thrown in before we're at where we need to be for a deal to happen. At this point, feel free to suggest something including or excluding the Raikou, as well.

Also, would you be interested in an "upgrade" trade, where I send you unlimited versions of the cards? The more 1st edition holos I get, the better. : D

Unfortunately, I am not looking to do an upgrade trade, sorry.
Also, if we are to use ebay prices, I agree my side's value will decrease. However, so will Flareon *. It generally sells for around $25 on ebay, so my offer would be about equal. Also, 1st ed forretress goes for $6+ on ebay. I could throw in the Raikou to sweeten the deal, but I don't think I can do more than that.
If you have a list, I'll be glad to check it though.

[Cyrus]

I agree that my Flareon would go down, which was why I mentioned ratios instead of outright prices. However, the last three auctions for Foretress went for one sold $0.99 and two unsold $0.99 (PSA-9, which was kind of surprising to me).

That said, I'm happy that we don't really have that many disagreements despite using two different pricing systems. Here's my counter-counter:

My:

Flareon *

Your:

Lt. Surge's Magneton 1st ed holo
Rocket's Moltres Holo 1st. Ed
The Rocket's Trap Holo 1st Ed
Forretress Holo 1st Ed
Raikou Neo Revelation 1st ed holo damaged
Brock's Ninetales 1st ed holo

If it would make a six card trade more agreeable to you, then I'd be happy to take another 1st ed holo in place of Brock's Ninetales, which seems to be priced highly on Troll and Toad right now.

[Chaos0]

Sorry for the wait, but are you sure you're checking the 1st editions on ebay?
Because it seems that you're mistaking them for the unlimited prices.
Particularly the forretress: there were only two first editions sold. One for $6 and one for over $7

[Cyrus]

While I'm not mistaken about the auctions I saw, I did look a little closer at the PSA-9s that ended for so low and realized that they were ended by the seller. The over $7 you mention was an eBay international, but I'll accept that as good. Between that and the $0.99 one, it's all over the place.

Still, I think the offer I just submitted is pretty reasonable. Lt. Surge's Magneton is fairly low on the pecking order, and should shore up any uncertainty caused by Raikou's condition/variations with Forretress. Again, the suggestion to get rid of the Ninetales for something cheaper on your end would also help correct any discrepancies, so lmk thanks. : D

[Chaos0]

Okay, but I'd like to see the .99 completed listing for a holo 1st ed forretress. (link please)
Sorry that I'm being difficult, it's just that I would like to get a fair deal for my 1st eds

[Cyrus]

Nah, you're not being difficult - this is just how trading works, so I think it's a reasonable request.
