Does anyone actually trade fetches?

I'm looking for Fetchlands, Marsh Flats in particular. I'm just getting into modern, but have a few EDH and Standard gems. Let me know if we can do something.
You're gonna have a hard time trading for them, but you can find those people, you'll just have to be ready to show your staples too. They are similar to ABUR land, they'll never actually go down and they keep rising in price.
I suggest you check other traders site like MTGS who have a large collection of players. Ebay could let your find cheap gems but it require some effort. You're not alone out there that want those.

The only way I got my Scalding Tarn is that I went to a WMCQ and I traded in cards for it (at that time is was $35) trade in your unwanted cards at a big store vendor.

My only local store will give you about 30% value, so I'd like to avoid that... I dunno, I'll find a way. If you come across any you don't want let me know ;D

30% value? That's atrocious. Even SCG gives around 50% plus trade-in bonus.
I'm also in pursuit of fetches to finish up my sets. I don't even have a single Marsh Flats yet.

As much as it pains me, I might end up trading my precious Liliana of the Veil s for them... I hope it doesn't come to that.

I'm not even sure I can part with her yet, she's in the deck the Marsh Flats will go into. If I decide I will I'll let you know.

I'm perfectly willing to trade them when I have them I just traded my verdant catacomb for 3 overgrown tombs as I don't play modern, I may be able to obtain a misty rainforest or scalding tarn today if your interested?

Ha, I think I've traded for Arid Mesa s about 10+ times yet I currently have 0. There are definitely people out there who trade fetches but you have to give value to get value.

If I wanted some bad enough, I would probably have to trade my Foil Snapcaster Mage .
I was fortunate enough to find someone who was getting out of Standard, and was able to buy his play-sets of Misty Rainforest , and Verdant Catacombs cheap.
That was enough to start a budget Infect deck. Non-Budget would still need Noble Hierarch and Thoughtseize .

If you are seriously asking the question, no, not really, they have eternal value, so unless you are overtrading by $20, or giving bobs, cliques, duals, snappies, lotv, jtms its not gonna happen, try to find a casual player that played in zendikar.
