eBay is great.  You trade money for cards!

I like ebay myself, but I have a mox pearl, sapphire, dual lands, and other good cards in exchange for (in order of priority) a timewalk, 4 each of meddling mages/wastelands and cabal therapies, 3 each of chains of mephistopheles [mine got stolen Sad] and crucible of worlds, 1x mox diamond and 1x darksteel colossus. What a sentence!

Your best bet is to find someone who is interested in all or part of that trade, and then arrange to meet them at a tournament or convention.

Agreed. I've been to some FNM around here (Dallas). Everyone seems to have the latest type II cards though and not much else.

People can still rip you off on Magic Traders, though. If you're going to do a large trade for power, make sure they have a significant number of references, or arrange a third-party trade through a moderator. The way that works is that you both mail your cards to the moderator, and when they receive both packages, they mail them back out to the traders.

I wouldnīt classify eBay as safe. It is swimming with the sharks. Fortunately most of them you see coming from a mile distance.

MOTL is pretty good. Trade cards you donīt need for cards you need and keep your money. Watch out for rippers though.
