This page answers questions you may have about the process of buying cards.

Security: This is always an issue when purchasing something online. If you know me, or if you've dealt with me, you know that I'm honest and trustworthy. Otherwise, have a look at my eBay profile - I've been selling there for over six years. I'm a PowerSeller, and I have more than three thousand positive unique feedbacks. My overall positive percentage is 99.5%, and the only negative feedbacks I've ever received were from pranksters or bad buyers. I've never ripped anyone off, in over thirteen thousand sales. I've also made hundreds of flawless trades with members of the community via the forums and have dozens of unique references. I've been selling via RancoredElf.com since February 2005, with complete satisfaction of thousands of customers. Lastly, when you pay with PayPal, you're automatically covered by their "buyer protection program". I'm committed to making every customer 100% happy, every time. If anything goes wrong, I'll fix it, guaranteed.

Privacy: I never see your payment information - PayPal sends me an email informing me that you have paid, and gives me your shipping address. Your email address will never be given out to anyone, and I do not send out spammy advertisements. Every few months I send a short newsletter to those customers who have indicated they would like to receive it.

Purchasing: Use the categories on the left to select a set to browse, or search for individual cards by name using the search feature. Foil cards are set aside in their own categories for each set. Use the "add to cart" button and select the number of each card you want. When you've got everything you need, click "checkout" to be brought to a summary of your purchase. You will be given a chance to make changes. If you do not have an account, you will be asked to make one now. That just means entering your shipping information (it should match the shipping information in your PayPal account) and a valid email address where I can reach you to inform you of your order's status. You will then be sent to PayPal where you securely transfer the payment.

PayPal is the primary payment method accepted. If I know you, I can accept cash, check, or money order, but you have to talk to me about it first. If you don't have PayPal, I encourage you to sign up - it's completely free to join and use. If you don't want to (or can't) get PayPal, but have a credit card, you can still purchase from my site! Simply place an order, go to checkout as normal, and when PayPal asks you for your account and password, you will instead provide it with your credit card information. It is secure (I never see your credit information), fast, and there are no fees for you.

All prices on RancoredElf.com are in US dollars, although I am completely based in Canada.

Card Conditions: All cards from new sets (in the last few years) are fresh out of the pack and unplayed. Pictures of these cards are samples only, to remind you what the card looks like and help you find what you need. Some older cards are digitally photographed, and the image you see is of the actual card. Cards not in NM or M condition will display a condition grade.

  • M - "Mint" cards are unplayed, fresh from the pack, and have no damage or printing errors.
  • NM - "Near Mint" cards show little or no wear or damage, may have been played carefully in a sleeved deck, and many people can't tell the difference between them and truly mint cards.
  • EX - "Excellent" cards have only two or three minor imperfections, like worn corners or nicked edges, and have most of the original surface gloss. Overall they look great and could be played legally in a deck without sleeves.
  • VG - "Very Good" cards show obvious handling like wear, scuffing, and possibly a minor bend. Surface gloss is usually gone. You would need to play this card in a sleeved deck.
  • G - "Good" cards are well worn and usually have obvious imperfections. Creased, warped, very dirty, or very scuffed cards are considered "good". There is no surface gloss. I don't sell many "good" cards.
  • F - "Fair" cards are heavily worn and have multiple obvious imperfections. They might be playable in colored sleeves. It's not likely that I would sell any "fair" cards.
  • P - "Poor" cards are basically destroyed, and usually of no value. I don't sell any "poor" cards.

Shipping: Shipping is free, to anywhere in the world, for every order above $20! For smaller orders, a flat $3 shipping fee will automatically be added when you check out. Many sellers, on other singles websites and on eBay, charge $5 or more for the first item, and $2 or more for each additional item. That adds up fast! Many sellers and sites don't ship overseas, either, or they charge a minimum of $25 for shipping! One thing I hate about buying cards online is the shipping fees, so when I designed this site, I wanted a way for my buyers to avoid them altogether.

Over the years I've become an expert on shipping cards quickly and accurately. Most North American buyers will receive their cards in about a week, and often less than that! Overseas buyers generally wait less than two weeks. If you require special shipping methods, let me know before you make the purchase, and we'll work something out.

If you have any questions or concerns about your order after you've paid for it, feel free to contact me any time. Please include the "order number" in your correspondence so I can identify you and your purchase. You can find this number on your PayPal payment receipt.

Yes, I Buy: I do buy individual cards, and entire collections. Please email me if you've got something you want to sell.

Boosters and Boxes: No, I can't sell boosters or boxes of Magic cards. Selling singles and only singles allows me to specialize and be the most efficient I can be. I recommend StarCityGames.com as one of the most reliable and reasonably priced sources of Magic boxes and boosters - there's a link in the left column of any page on this site.

Link to Me: Please help me get the word out about this site! If you have a site, please check out this page for the code of some buttons you can put on it - then let me know that you did so!

Guestbook: I've set up a guestbook (click the tab in the menu bar) for customers to leave "feedback" comments. Even if you're just a guest, drop me a line, say hello, and give me your comments about the site!

Thanks: A big "thank you" goes out to Jake Smith of CabalCity.com and my best friend Nathan Paziuk, the two talented programmers who built most of the original code for this site. There's no way I could have done it without them! Thank you also to Nick and David who are both currently working with me to upgrade and enhance everything you see - and don't see!
