One of the players at my local university playgroup (which I run) brought all his cards for me to look through. I rummaged through looking for foils for my common/uncommon cube and found a 5 or so that I wanted, cards like foil Naya Charm, Cadaver Imp, Blind Creeper etc. Nothing of great worth, except I also found a foil Daze. So I pick them all out and ask him what he wants for them, and he is happy to give them me (as he isn't at all attached to his cards and I do all the work in running the club, plus they are for my cube). Which is the point at which I let him know that the Daze is worth at least £10, and we end up with me taking it on a gentleman's agreement that I give him something for it if I sell/trade it, as he is never going to meet Eternal players to move it on. I could have just taken it and I can't imagine him ever being any the wiser, but I couldn't rip him (or any of the other players) like that.

It makes me so angry when I see my peers at my local shop ripping off kids and people just getting into the game… then bragging about it.

It is an unspoken rule in Magic that a trade is between two people; for better or worse. I break this rule for kids. They are the future of magic and while they might not know that their Tarmogoyf is worth $80 and they think your Lord of the Pit is amazing, make it fair. Give them a fat stack of whatever they want and keep them in the game.
