Yes, obviously not allowed...

Hi everyone,
I don't know if this has been asked, but I would like to buy magic cards for Bitcoins on this forum, but am not quite sure how to go about it. Do you guys have any interest in that sort of thing, and if so where is a good subforum to start discussing such trades?

Thanks!
Chris

In that case, I think I'd like to put up some offers to buy dual lands for bitcoins. Being a noob though, I have two questions:
1. Where do I post it?
2. Should I just post a quote for NM Revised cards, and say something like "for a quote on other qualities or editions, message me."?

Use the Non-Magic Forum, as you're essentially trading non-Magic items (bitcoins) for Magic cards, which falls into that category.

If you are willing to take other editions or qualities, then post the prices for them. Asking people to message you about prices will make it seem like you're trying to skirt the forum rules about having prices posted.

I don't know a lot about bitcoin past the wiki article, so please forgive the ignorance, but why not just sell the bitcoin for paypal dollars? Is there a fee for selling it? Is that fee larger than the inconvenience of finding the six people on this site that deal both in MTG and bitcoin, and then hope they have the cards to sell that you want to buy? It just seems like a lot of hoops to jump through. How much could they possibly charge in fees to sell some of your bitcoin?

I'm testing out buying cards for Bitcoin mainly for the interest of it all, but as for Paypal I have to admit to being annoyed both because they charge a bit over 3% in fees, and because I have been stung by "charge backs" by people claiming to have been hacked, without any recourse for the seller. This way, if I get cheated out of my Bitcoins, the buyer doesn't get to make excuses to anyone!

One other thing to know is that bitcoiners tend to be enthusiastic about the subject, at their own cost sometimes

I think you're confusing selling MTGO tix and trading MTGO cards.

No, for much the same reasons that MTGO card trading also falls into non-Magic, even though they're "Magic". Bitcoin is still more or less a novelty, and having them in the sales forum will only cause problems for most people wanting to buy or sell the listed cards.
