Anybody know of any other sites that do drops for games and trading cards like MTG? I had noticed that stuff like variety and prices started going down the drain when the site changed to drop.com, but I didn't think they'd just cut them.
Does anybody know of any alternatives?

bshortAs someone who used to collect MTG -- the more common deals are on a set, the more overproduced it was and the less the cards ended up appreciating in value. I mean, there was a while I could get booster boxes of Fallen Empires for like $40. It had something to do with overproducing it, because they figured it'd sell like Legends,and it didn't. It also had something to do with how bad most people thought it sucked. FE is possibly the most underpowered set WOTC ever released. Both those facts contributed to the fact that for a long time when I was collecting, every set was marked up except for FE which was going for next to nothing, and everyone and their dog was offering some kinda deal on it.
I just don't know that a group buying site, or whatever Drop has become, is the best fit for long term good deals on CCGs and the like that depend on scarcity mechanics to sustain their pricing. That's not a slam on Drop so much as it's a recognition that we're not in the right space to be interesting to them. Because it's not like MTG needs Drop to spread the word, know what I mean?
On the other hand, MTG does have inventory that sells slower than other parts of their inventory, and that's about the only incentive they have to work with someone like Drop. But that doesn't work out well for Drop buyers unless they're only playing for the entertainment value and not worried about collectability and value, because slow selling inventory in MTG equals cards that won't have much resale value for a long, long time, if ever.
I know what you mean, though. I haven't bought MTG for years, but I still looked over whatever Drop posted in that category. Stuff like that is hard to quantify metrically for Drop -- they want us to buy stuff, not just sit and be entertained by their labors for free -- but you do need that entertainment factor for people to come and spend time in your storefront.

OlMortMassdrop became my go to for buying MTG. Spent tons of money on it here. If anyone knows of a similar place to buy all kinds of mtg I'd be interested. I mean I know of the usual suspects (card kingdom, lgs, channel fireball, etc.) but something about buying from massdrop was smooth and cleaner than the alternatives.

Drop rainy75 Shipping to Australia
I have filled out the payment and contact form for the WOBKEY Rainy75 Mechanical Keyboard and typed in my correct address but when click "continue to shipping", it comes up with "Your order cannot be shipped to the selected address. Review your address to ensure it's correct and try again, or select a different address." If anyone knows whether it can be shipped to Australia or how to solve this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.

Drop Keyboard Club Questions
Hello everyone! I'm looking to join DKC, but I have a few questions. The first day of November has already passed. Will I still get the coupon for November immediately after signing up today (Nov. 10)? What is the definition of Mechanical Keyboard products? Will the coupon apply to desk mats? I believe it should apply to everything listed under this category? For orders under $79, the coupon will be converted to a percentage discount. Will the percentage discount apply to all mechanical keyboard items in an entire order, or it can only be applied to a single mechanical keyboard item in the order? Thanks in advance!
