Why sell out?
Still keeping your Lavamancers?

Ya, still keeping my project lavamancers but I have about 75 extras I can sell off while still keeping around 200 :-p

Why sell out?

1. Tired of arguing with people about the reserve list so would just rather not be so financially exposed
2. Just moved and the local community and LGSs make playing not worth showing up
3. The mtg community has shifted a lot as it has become more mainstream and I don't enjoy the people as much. I enjoy collector community more but see point #1.
4. Prices seem to be at an all time high for anything that wasn't printed in mma2 or ema except a few things like onslaught fetches, thoughtseize, stifle and other things that only had 1 printing and then got reprinted. Feel like I can recoup a lot.

I just sold my beta stps, bolts, and vise this week.
