Where to buy power

[tdickinson]

I'm looking to pick up Mana Drains and a few pieces of power, but I really have no idea where the best place to buy it would be. I'm unfortunately from Northern NJ, where Type 1 doesn't exist, and I know none of the card shops around here have Type 1 tourneys, so I'm assuming they wouldn't have much (if any) of the Power 9. I've been looking at ebay mostly, but I've heard good and bad things about that, so I'm a little uneasy. Does anyone have an opinion either way on that? Help would be appreciated.

Ebay is safe if you follow basic precautions... check their feedback, make sure they have a 100+ (1000+ to be safe) and make sure they have sold power in the past (if possible).  This usually means you pay a premium, but at least you get power.  You can also check out www.magictraders.com and trade with anyone with over 100 refs, or trade through a 3rd party (use a moderator).

Lots of people on this site have extra power, as do tournaments if you can travel to one.
