Product Description
Modern, the newest competitive format in Magic: The Gathering, pulls from more than a decade of sets, but many of the most powerful cards have become so scarce that it can be difficult to build a deck. Luckily, Wizards of the Coast responded with the Modern Masters set, a collection chock full of the most powerful cards from the past and some engaging limited mechanics Read More
Several 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...
With Ultimate Masters coming out in 2 days the value of this is already dropping, and it’s about $100 over priced collated with the value of the cards you will get inside.
Definitely not a good price, or even a Massdrop value buy, for this product when you include shipping. TCGPlayer has boxes with shipping included right around $240.
ugh, $230 + $8.25 = $238.25. MSRP is $240 so you are saving $1.75 buying here? WTF?!?!?!? The vendors buy this crap at $140.00 straight from Wizards of the Coast. Again, us players getting ripped of here, print this crap to oblivion and then dump it on the secondary market for nothing but pure profit. What?!?!?
Not a chance would I pay this much for this box. I have opened two boxes from two different places and have not broke $200 in value. No way would I pay MSRP for this.
