Harry Potter backed MTG precon listed

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can't get the completed listings of the HP cards to come up on "you know where". I saw them ok when the auction was in progress but can not find them now.

Gary,

Same with me, but I think it has to do with the new and "improved" Ebay that can take a while to update International sales after they have gone final. I linked to the reference for the four auctions rather than to any of the 4 specific auctions.

Ebay constantly updates its searchable database, which is what any query searches. Until the database is updated, you can't get updated links to the completed auctions. The "active auction" database drops individual auctions once they are completed. The "completed auction" database doesn't pick them up automatically, but batch processes the newly-completed auctions on a regular schedule.

It used to be normal for completed auctions to go dark for an hour or two after the auction finished, unless you had linked to each individual auction. It took that long for the searchable database to update the new status and add in the recently-completed auctions. These days it can take a day for US auctions, and sometimes many days for International auctions. The Harry Potter backed auctions will likely be visible by ~ January 2nd.

Hank;

Thanks much for the detail. I have had problems previously but just thought the seller had pulled the card or some such. I knew that wasn't the case this time so wondered what was happening.

Appreciate your explanation.

Willard... Thanks for the links. appreciate your time.

Nice to see such interest in rareties.

Nice result for you too, my snipe told me that I wasn't even in the running to bid let alone win :)

I think you should make your money back and have some nice additions to your collection! You have a good eye for a bargain!

When I started collecting MTG, the HP backed cards were one of my biggest frustration as the deck had already been sold to a big collector.

I honestly expected the price to go higher.

Now, the prices for some cards like Glorious Anthem have gone crazy, and the selling of the duplicates will help me acquire those. Collecting global costs a fortune.

Just for the info, shipping to the US will cost me $80 for each card.

I will list some of the non land cards in the coming days and will keep you updated. I'm glad that 4 different collectors could get one of each.

I listed Goblin Brigand :

Let's see what a non-land card goes for.

The auction is ending tomorrow. I found a way to ship cheaper. Belgium instead of France, for the same service. Nearly $30 less. Not bad.

Good luck with bidding.

Giediprime41 who won one land last week received his card a couple of days ago and left a feedback, just in case some of you would still have doubts.

Completely missed out on these. Will you be listing any more of these, like say basics? Need at least a couple for my collection.

magic-belgium · Post by **magic-belgium** » Fri Jan 04, 2013 10:34 pm

As mentioned on the first auctions, I won't list more Basic Lands on Ebay. This is to respect the investment of the buyers from the first 4 auctions.

ouallada · Post by **ouallada** » Fri Jan 04, 2013 10:44 pm

Understood. Will be bidding regardless, and hopefully some more non-land cards will get posted in time.

magic-belgium · Post by **magic-belgium** » Fri Jan 04, 2013 11:07 pm

The on ebay right now is quite low pricewise so far.

I doubt that I have seen a better mtg related investment in my time. Kudos to you

magic-belgium · Post by **magic-belgium** » Mon Jan 07, 2013 11:05 pm

I have seen much better than this. But I can't tell here who sold, who bought and resold... It was pretty amazing.
