Is Rasta Crazy?

Economics forum

So yesterday I decided to liquidate a bunch of my standard cards

Card = Max $ if sold (based on TCG low)
4x Desecration Demon = $12
4x Nightveil Specter = $10
3x Lord of the Void = $9
4x Lifebane Zombie = $16
4x Shadowborn Demon = $16
4x Boros Reckoner = $20
2x Mutavault = $40
4x Pack Rat = $6
1x Master of Cruelties = $2
Best possible profit = $131

My LGS uses SCG pricing so they value cards more than I do. They also do 60% store credit on trade-ins so I figured I'd see what they'd give me for the lot. They offered a little over $120 and I took it.

Now I am asking if I'm crazy because I turned around and bought 11x Steam Vents at $12 a pop with the credit. Others at my LGS thought this was odd. I think it's smart. So yeah, sane or crazy?

VA: Speaking of music, I hate meeting fellow musicians for the first time. Their first question is always "What do you like to play?" And Im always "I like noise."

I hate the smell and taste of alcohol. Rum is the only alcoholic drink that I enjoy smelling. Still don't like the taste.

Coffee on the other hand, I love the smell. Just won't drink it. I like coffee flavoured foods though :D

when you're a scrawny, short freshman it feels like 30 pounds and thus I remember it that way.

thread it up if you want Fem. also high Fives? ._.

Try bass trombone. That shit is heavy until you get used to it, and your left arm has more muscle than the right from holding it.

October 31, 2014 11:51 p.m.

I was lucky, electric bass was never an option for the school band, so I never had to carry that on my long ass walk too.

Except that one time where I did have to carry it to the school....
