MTG: Arabian Nights Complete Set
Prince of Darkness
Hello MTG players and collectors. As many of you know, the first limited
edition expansion for Magic: The Gathering has been out for a little
over a week now, and is becoming more and more difficult to get
boosters. I have, for your collecting (and playing) pleasure, a COMPLETE
mint set of all 78 Arabian Nights cards for sale. I am selling the set
for $90.00 or highest offer. I will take offers from now until January
14th at midnight, at which time I will contact the new owner of the set
via e-mail and he/she will have 72 hours to respond that they are still
interested. If no response is given after 72 hours, the set will go to
the next highest offer.
Thank You and have a safe and Happy New Year!

Phht.
I'll sell a full, complete set of Arabian Nights (all 78 cards), in
9-pocket pages, in a duotang, sent airmail and insured, for the price of
$70.00 flat. No auctions. No hassle. No time limit.
And I can supply them in quantity.

It appears that I made a typo in my post for my auction. The auction price
was supposed to have been $60.00, not $90.00... That teaches me to send
without proofreading.......
Anyway, the starting price is $60.00. I will take offers from now until
midnight, january 14th. At which time the highest offer will be notified
via e-mail. If no response is received in 72 hours, the set goes to
the next highest offer.
All postage will be paid by myself, and the cards will be insured, not
to mention protected in their packaging beyond imagination. (right now
I am looking at different ways of protecting cards and figuring out
which is the best and most economical). Right now its looking like the
sportscard pages with a binder thingy is the best way.....
Anyway, sorry about the mix-up.
Thank you and have a happy new year!

Good job Jim Cowling! I like to see someone getting reasonable.
An entire case of Arabian Nights (60 packs, 8 cards per pack) can still
be bought for about $90, and this will give the buyer
almost two complete sets! An AUCTION, STARTING at $90 for one complete
set is just rediculous!
I can understand the auctions of the alpha and beta prints of the limited
run, but some of this recent stuff is just price gouging. If no one minds
I am going to keep coming down hard on these people.

Come down as hard as you want!!! BTW, The local gaming store only charged
me $51.00 a case and I was only 1 card short of 2 full sets.

I thought you'd see that your original price was too high.
So, in the interest of keeping up interest in this thing, I'll make my offer:
I have a number of Arabian Nights complete sets for sale for $55.00 US
apiece, sent air and insured, in pages and in a binder. No auction, no
hassle. No first-come-first-serve. Quanitities available at $55.00 a pop,
flat.
Thanks for your consideration.

What I /really/ need is confirmation as to exactly which AN cards have two
different (obvious) printings. These cards I can confirm do have a large,
white/grey circle for "colorless" mana costs: Fishliver Oil, Nafs Asp,
Wyluli Wolf, Piety, Moorish Cavalry, War Elephant, Oubliette, Erg Raiders,
Hasran Ogress, Bird Maiden. Stone-Throwing Devils also have two printings
for casting cost, one with a light background, one with a dark. These are
teh cards I suspect as having two printings, but I haven't been able to
confirm them: Giant Tortoise, Army of Allah, Desert Nomads.

Giant Tortoise and Army of Allah do, Desert Nomads doesn't. Rukh egg
isn't on your list, and does. There are a grand total of 14 variant
printing cards, bringing the total for collectors to 92.
To recap, the following list is cards with a variant:
Black Blue White Red Green
Hasran Ogress Fishliver Oil Army of Allah Bird Maiden Nafs Asp
Erg Raiders Giant Tortoise Piety Rukh Egg Wyluli Wolf
Oubliette Moorish Cavalry
Stone Throwing Devils War Elephant

ends up two to four Uncommon-plus cards short... but with enough duplicates
to trade.
I think even $60 is a little high for a complete set right now... but when
the cards become harder to find, the price will go up. And you really can't
come down on people for their prices... either someone buys at that price
or nobody does. If nobody buys, the price was too high... if someone buys,
the price wasn't too high. Just because YOU wouldn't pay $90 (or $60, as
he corrected himself to) doesn't mean someone else wouldn't mind it.
