What peteskaffe said. Not only is it overpriced compared to the the value but a sealed mm15 can be had for $290-$300 shipped on eBay right now.

Sidney_HuffmanInteresting.. I cant speak for the value of the cards that you will or wont get but as far as the box price goes. The cheapest box on Amazon is $396. The cheapest box on TCG is $342 and that is 1 box then the next cheapest box is $349. And, if you want to take your chances buying on Ebay there are a few boxes available between $320-$330. Based on that $335 certainly seems reasonable if you want to buy a box from a trusted site like Massdrop. When you are $50 a box less than Amazon you are usually at least in line...

scedaveSeveral sealed boxes have sold on eBay over the past week alone for $300 shipped... with both PayPal and eBay customer support, there’s no reason to say that purchasing off eBay is “taking a chance” when the supply isn’t currently an issue. If the box ends up arriving opened or not in the condition you expected, PayPal and eBay make it painless to get a refund. I’m just saying that MassDrop is where I come for amazing deals, not for saving a few dollars compared to TCG. Read the previous comments when this drop first launched, it wasn’t exactly an amazing deal compared to other retailers when this dropped either and it isn’t an amazing value now. Ultimate Masters was selling for around $250 here. At that price, it undercut eBay, amazon, and most LGS’s by a decent amount. People are obviously going to buy this. I understand your point, perhaps my reasoning for “overpriced” was a bit exaggerated so I’ll agree that $335 shipped is fair game, but there are plenty of better deals elsewhere. Just my .02

Sidney_HuffmanFully understand where you are coming from. I think what some people forget is with new releases like Ultimate Masters, Massdrop can go to a large distributor and secure hundreds or even thousands of boxes of that new product because the product is just being produced and released and thus there is a very large supply available.
However, once the product is out of production, especially 3+ years out of production like Modern Masters 2015, the item, at that point, has become scare and thus there is no where for Massdrop to go to acquire product at "an amazing deal" like you state.. First, no one is likely to still have large quantities available and secondly, even if someone did have a large quantity available, there would be no need to "Dump" it to Massdrop at well below market prices because there are plenty of buyers at market prices.
Most of the things Massdrop sells on their site can be purchased in very large quantities from the manufacturer of the item or from a large distributor. The few items like this that are much more of a scarce collectible than a mass produced commodity are going to be much closer in price to current market prices than the items that they can acquire in massive quantities... It is simply giving the Magic community the opportunity to buy these particular items at a reasonable price as opposed to giving them a super deal...
