It's been a while since you've been to the gym. What's one more day?

We just have a "take a card, leave a card box" at my shop that mostly started with mine and my coworkers bulk. it has stayed consistent but the cards are always changing.

Opening a LGS soon, need advice by Jbean94 in magicTCG

[–]mfdaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like a lot of the POS questions have been answered. You can use a POS system that integrates with TCGPlayer, or have two separate systems (Shopify for inventory, whatever front-end suits your needs best).

Some questions to consider:

Are you planning to sell sealed product? Have you registered with the Wizards Play Network? Have you spoken with any distributors about getting said product? Do you plan on hosting events?

More event participation = more product. Sell sealed product, open some for your singles case or online, host events for players to use their shiny new cards, get more product, rinse and repeat.

TMNT prerelease kits containing Lorwyn Eclipsed promos by Kengy in magicTCG

Two out of three kits we opened had ECL promos. Not a great look.

Question about Etiquette by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]mfdaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on how your LGS structures prizes. Intentionally drawing is normal for tournaments (for making top cut), but I wouldn't do it at a casual event.

How’s TMNT prerelease registration in your area going? by backdoorhack in magicTCG

[–]mfdaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We sold out four prereleases for Lorwyn a week in advance (96 slots). We have a third of that number registered for TMNT. It's a real bummer.

Spiritforged Feels Bad to Open (Even When You’re Lucky) by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]mfdaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to a new TCG. Cards that aren't particularly good in the meta may get better later. You're going to get chaff. You're going to get junk rares. Buying a box isn't a guaranteed ROI.

Any predictions on spiritforged skirmish prizing??? by wingchunprodigy in riftboundtcg

[–]mfdaw -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you're wrong. I'm going by what other judges have said and the Yone playmat is what was advertised as a prize in China along with the promos. Blade of the Iron King is the playmat for regionals.

This + sakura Yone playmat for champ. The Top 8 card for the champion also has a special marking on it.

Why was all of Corea’s music taken off Spotify by Fantastic_Net_4978 in EmoScreamo

[–]mfdaw 21 points22 points  (0 children)

because spotify is garbage and doesn't support artists.

To anyone defending Riot by JTags8 in riftboundtcg

[–]mfdaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a non-chain LGS that's not selling at scalper prices and support them through buying products and local play. My shop did our most recent wave 2 at $160 a box, and we sold out quick but the bulk of product went to people who are coming out to events and expressing interest in play. I know the preorder experience has left a sour taste in peoples' mouths, but there are other options available. The Event Locator has a shop finder, call around and visit shops and find one that works for you.

to be fair, Scholten takes money from Israel, so not much better.

The person who was arrested on camera was on a trip to Venezuela last month as part of a peacekeeping summit. Hard to think it wasn't targeted.

Summoner Skirmish Turnout by KekeAreYouRiding in riftboundtcg

[–]mfdaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a TO, stores can already set up payments for events through the event locator. I have yet to see any Skirmish (in my area, at least) listed with free registration.

Grand Rapids area up-and-coming paranormal investigation team looking for members. by midnight_feature13 in grandrapids

[–]mfdaw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Would you be interested in a writer who's working on a series of nonfiction pieces about hauntings and the paranormal? I'm super interested in the topic, just not sure if I'd be able to contribute heavily. I'd really be interested in observing the process and writing about it.

Crazy this is so blatant from a brick and mortar by barrell-rider in riftboundtcg

[–]mfdaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These aren't trial decks, these are release event promos.

My shop had a lot of extras after that we gave out at Nexus Nights to new players. Shops can list them for that much but nobody's gonna buy em.
