- 0***t (330)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasei am a vintage magic player looking to get back into the game after over 20 years, this lot caught my eye, every card in the picture was of cards from my era, so I excitedly ordered, when package arrived I was unpleasantly surprised to find that there wasn't a single card from the era, not a card from one of the many sets shown in the picture, I reached out to the seller expressing my disappointment , toId felt like I had been bated with pictures of vintage, no response for days, so here I am.Reply from: midgadeals- Feedback replied to by seller midgadeals.- Feedback replied to by seller midgadeals.Customer purchased a lot of 200 random cards. The listing clearly explained and listed what possible cards you may receive but also made it clear that lots do not guarantee any type, deck, year, or anything else for the cards. Customer made an offer nearly 30% off listing price, and once it was accepted started sending messages after message trying to demand certain cards or type of cards be included in his lot. Customer received exactly what he purchased. Nothing more nothing less.200 Vintage and Modern Magic the Gathering Cards - Common/Uncommon/Rare - Foil (#315654283902)
- e***s (928)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseNormally, I leave negative feedback for this, but I did have prior knowledge & that would be unfair. Book is in good shape. But photo used in the listing is a stock photo & does NOT represent the item listed. That’s false advertising. Book received has dirt & bleach spots, crayon marks inside. A REAL photo would have shown this. A seller myself, I know it takes just as long to take a real photo of actual item as it does to find a stock photo. I do not regret the purchase, only the methods used.
