There is still the original lot but now there is a second lot with a goyf and other modern staples

Dang! If there are no hits by tuesday or wednesday I can talk to student accounts and see if I can pay a day late because I know the money would be coming in

That is if I fall into temptation though. Wish this could hold off another week.

I am so interested in both, but I don't have any money what with the FTV:20 coming up soon.

What are the sets of the shocklands in lot 2 (the first one you put up)?

The reason you probably haven't gotten many, if any, offers yet is that the lots have relatively little value in them for the price you're asking.
Lot 1 has better value, to be sure, but the swords, Elspeth, and Doubling Season are only fringe cards compared to Goyf and Clique.
Lot 2 has little actual value. The market value of the lot is only barely above your asking price, and there's a lot of padded value there. Stuff like Killing Wave and Deadbridge Chant aren't really relevant, and they're just there to increase the market value of the lot. They don't add any incentive for the would-be buyer.
On top of that, asking for $320 before shipping and as a PayPal gift payment - which doesn't give the buyer any protection in the event of a PayPal dispute - is super sketchy. I'm not saying you're about to rip someone off, but most players looking to make lot purchases will be put off by the risk.

@ Goody all of the shocks are from the recent return block.
@ Dallie I wish FTV20 hadn't been spoiled with Jace, that just makes life so much tougher but I get it :p if you have any extra money lying around then please let me know
@ Epochalyptik I hear you on all of your points, but these lots are designed for people who want the cards and will use them, not people trying to buy it and turn it. As for the payment method, its just easier with no fees. I've sold like that before with no issues and I wouldn't rip anyone off. I understand all of your points but I am interested in trying to sell these now because I need the money.

Regardless of whether your target consumer is someone who will play the cards or someone looking to make a profit, you need to offer incentive for the purchase. The thing most people don't realize about selling collections is that the seller is effectively trying to push a single lot onto someone for a large price. Even for a player who can use most of the cards, that's a tall order. Realistically, nobody will be able to use every card, and they need a way to justify spending so much money to get some cards they need and some they don't.
I highly suggest using PayPal goods instead of gift. The added buyer security goes a very long way.

Tempted on the goyf lot. Good luck, hopefully someone pays your tuitions.
