I have 3 extra fetchlands I won't be using, 2x Verdant Catacombs and 1x Misty Rainforest
I'm proposing a trade to the first person who can make this work. The 6 cards below I need and will not make this trade for anything less. I'm sorry for this, but it is important. To make up the difference of 18.93, I would like anything else in my binder that adds up to this.
Using tcgplayer mid (as of today, 7/.22/13 8:00am MST).
4x Deathrite Shaman (non-foil): 13.28 ea = 53.12
1x Batterskull 12.64
1x Umezawa's Jitte 26.75
92.51
2x Verdant Catacombs 32.00 ea = 64.00
1x Misty Rainforest 47.44
111.44
Smith_and_Tonic I agree, but at least 4 are currently in print and standard, of the other 2, only one is 'old'. I do think it'll be hard and I have the time to wait for it. If someone really wants these fetches, they can make the trades to get the cards I need to make it work for them or get a few friends and pool resources to do it also.

Honestly, you're better off either doing a partial trade or a two-step. The problem with a set X-for-Y offer is that unless you're offering a premium to the other person, there's no incentive for anyone else to track down the cards you need.

Epochalyptik fair enough, I agree to that point. If it can be broken up so I get what I need, then I'm good to go. But there has been enough times where when I've done that, the deals have never been that fair/great in my end and I have to turn them down.
Example, person a wants, card a and b, offers x, y,z, but I need c,d,e. So I turn it down, I want to avoid that.
IF someone can make a deal that gets me the cards I need in pieces I'm game. In short I need c, d, e and willing to sit on this till I get c, d, e. If I have to buy c, d, e, I'll keep a and b.
I'm just not interested in much of anything else.

also, another example
person a, wants cards a and b, offers x, y, z and it's a fair trade, I take it, but then I can never turn x, y, z into c, d, e.
I'm just not compromising for x, y, z and I'm ok sitting on the cards I'm offering.

That's fair enough. I just think it's more realistic to break things up and only need to hunt one or two cards rather than six as a set.

just hard to make it all work with the prices involved and I don't have the energy and time to go hunting for the cards to make it all work either. I've put this out there for someone who has the cards and wants these lands bad enough to make this deal,

Those are a lot of cards you are looking for, it is rather improbable that one person would have all of those for trade.
