Luke,

you mentioned that for the 110+ cards and 9 of them are Holofoil you could sell them to me for $25 or trade for $35

I did my research.  I still am missing specifics.  I need to know which release.  I need to know which rarity.  In some cases I need to know which color.

E-bay is not a price list like ThreeLionsGaming . com

but priceless sites for Yugioh do exist without the additional information I'm coming up with (prices in purple):
Infernal Flame Emperor $4 don't need additional information on this one $0.18
Ultimate Tyranno $2 $0.10
Toon World $2 $0.14
Kiseitai $1 $0.10
Exploder dragon $1.50 $0.37
Lord of D. x 3 $9 $0.17 x 3 = $0.51
The Flute of Summoning Dragon x 2 $8 $0.15 x 2 = $0.30
Phantom Beast of Wild Horn $2 Phantom Beast Wild-Horn don't need additional information on this one $0.20
Black Tyranno $2 $0.09
Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight x 2 $4 $0.15 x 2 = $0.30

I'm coming up with total value $2.29 if you can provide with additional information they may be more valuable. Just based on this information, although with additional information they won't go as high as $35.  I'll pay $8 for the 110+ cards and 9 of them are Holofoil or I'll give you $12 in trade for them.  If you are willing to give me set they were released in, rarity, and color where appropriate I can give you a better offer.

Please let me know what you want to do with the Yugioh cards.

I'll research the Pokemon collection when I get home from work today in about 8 or 9 hours.  Time to leave for work.  Thanks

Steven

What's in the pokemon collection? I can pretty easily independently verify the value.

My 2 cents...

For Pokemon I would use www.trollandtoad.com
For Yu-Gi-Oh! I would use www.alterealitygames.com
For Magic I would use www.starcitygames.com

These are fairly reliable sites and tend to be middle of the road on fair prices for trading.
Obviously using E-Bay will get you the lowest comcmon denominator but for trading, consistency is more important than lowest price.

Yugioh has the same cards at ifferent rarities. Many of my cars are the rarer versions, that is why my infernal flame emperor is more expensive

I already sent him a spreadsheet with all that info.

I averaged all the prices on ebay, times 3 was $8. Donr take this he wrong way, but I would like it if you would stay in your own trade. Thanks for the website.

Sorry, but when you trade in a community it's actually everyone's business. One of the reasons this form of trading works is because we are able to self police ourselves across the board. Any time one bad trade happens, it changes every trade by discrediting the website for trading as a whole.

What MtG format do you want cards for?  Magic has a much larger card base and what cards you want is very different based on what format you are building decks for. 

If you have questions about MtG rules, deckbuilding, etc. I can help with that.  I might have some cards to trade but again some more info about your goals would be helpful.

I'm fairly certain he used www.tcgplayer.com, which pulls from the low/median/high values of all vendor prices and not just one independent source.

All,

I did use www.tcgplayer.com because it pulls from the low/median/high values of all vendor prices and not just one independent source.  That being said, Swift Gaia the Fierce Night, had at least 7 different sets it was released in, and the price fluctuates from $0.15 to $1.16 depending on which release it came from.  I was not provided with release information, so i'm taking the lowest price since I haven't seen Luke's cards to know which one specifically he has.  There also appears to be 5 are more rarities that are considered rare or more rare, and again, I don't know which one specifically he has.

Luke had told me that he had used eBay to price his prices.

I will respond to more on any questions here in the next few hours, just got home from work need to go run a few quick errands.  Thanks

Steven

I made sure that I had the right rarities of the cards I found on Ebay

That's fine. I'm sure you guys can work it out,  especially now that you know where each of you are getting your prices from.   

All,

Luke provided me with actual card numbers, and I now know which release they were from, and thus far we are only talking about Yugioh cards.

Luke,

you were done with the list when it was worth $35 when that came back being worth $2.29 you changed the offer, I assumed you were done with the list when it was then worth $33.60 you wanted me then to research ASAP (hence the new offer), and I got you to provide me the codes which gave me the real values, and when I gave you the value of the 30+ cards at $13 ish, you are telling me that you are not done with the list (yet another deal).  So you are changing the original offer yet again.  I'm not playing games with making an offer.  That's why I'm willing to offer you $20 in trade final offer on Yugioh for the 110+ Yugioh 9 are holofoil cards from the original offer, or if you prefer I'll pay $10 real money which is $2 more than the last offer I made.  Or, keep the Yugioh cards and we can focus on Pokemon only. 

I don't favor changing a deal 2 or more times, and my offer was contingent upon research due to my lack of knowledge in the subject area, and my knowledge in the subject areas for all 3 types of cards is growing rapidly.  And, I don't hold any ill will against you for changing that deal 2 or more times, because you may not realize that you were doing that, but for future reference that is what was being done.  Everything is still good between you and me, I am a fair trader.

Please let me know when the list on Pokemon is complete so that I can ask questions, and then I'll do my research to determine if its worth $200, and we can go from there, and yes I agree that the full art card in Pokemon is valued at $23, but I'm not going to research Pokemon any further until you can tell me that the list on Pokemon is complete. I can then ask my questions, you can answer them, and then I'll proceed with researching prices to see if we are still at $200.

Please let me know how to proceed.

galadgawyn,

I'm building on all formats in magic since that is one of the biggest CCG's here in central florida, and as most can attest to I play most formats in redemption currently, i'm not the highest level player in redemption, like top 5 or top ten in a category, but there are categories that I have landed for the year near the bottom of the top ten, so I am a competitive player, and I pride myself in thinking of decks outside of the box, within rules of the game.  This one of the reasons why I think I place as high as I do in the first place.  With Magic I'm interested in all card formats to start out with.  The gaming center where I am starting to play, and I explained to them that I'm starting out and don't have a lot of money to sink into this in the beginning actually gave me a basic Jace Beleren starter deck that will teach me how to play the game that I was planning to open today so I can start learning the game.  That being said though, I intend to play in 3 or 4 of the 4 formats that I've heard about in Magic over time.  Please let me know what if any cards you have that you would be willing to trade for redemption cards.

Steven
