I have noticed that you can only work with English cards. Am I Wrong?

What is obscure about south america countries? It would be nice if you think a little bit more about how to express yourself regarding other countries. Specially if there are QSers from those countries

Yes, just slap an International Forever stamp on there if its under the proper weight. I think you can get away with 3 cards and a top loader. Be aware that different countries have crappy postal service, i.e. Italy. So expect shipping times up to, and sometimes over, 2 weeks.

Yeah, it’s the hourly rate calculations that make me leery of using the site. Just not sure it’s worth it in my case.

I started using it about a month ago to help me complete my set of Foil Modern Masters and so far, I’m reasonably happy with it. I ship out a lot of stuff in the $3-6 range like darkslick shores and whip or erebos and I have turned those points into things like foil arcbound ravager or foil aether vial.

My only gripe is around the NM only restriction and the perception on NM by users. There are ways to try and work out deals for LP cards with a refund of points but usually by the time you hear back from the person, someone else has already sent them a copy of the card in question or they have received other cards that sucked up all of their available points.

I’ve noticed that there are far too many people on Puca that have a skewed view of NM to where NM is really “Pack Fresh Mint” in their mind. It’s far too easy for someone to complain about card condition, open a case and ask for a partial refund in points.

If we have anyone from Puca on QS, I would love to hear whether there are any real plans to address a true grading system and assigned point values for non-NM cards sometime in the near future.

I use it mostly to pick up low value specs and cards I need to finish decks (especially Standard stuff and random commons/uncommons that people wouldn’t bother to put in their trade binders).

The main gripe I have is people sometimes take a while to ship and/or confirm receipt of the cards I sent.

If someone is looking to trade trash for treasure he or she had better be prepared to get a terrible hourly rate for their effort. However, if one is okay with trading tournament staple for tournament staple, the site may be useful.

All my haves are wanted in South America and other obscure countries. Did you happen to match with all Americans? or did u buy global stamps to trade internationally?
