I'm attempting to find a reasonable site in which to purchase Magic cards, pokemon cards, and tabletop RPG manuals. Can anyone help me?

    Well, when you say "reasonable," what are you looking for? Reasonable prices, good search engine, what?

    All that said, my Magic-playing friends tend to use Star City Games and eBay, and it works out pretty well for them.

    I use a local gamegeek type shop.

    also, you want ninja burger. I mean, um, hi.

    I tend to switch off between StarCityGames.com and cardkingdom.com (both are reliable, and often if one has it for more expensive than expected, the other has it for cheaper and vice versa... sadly, neither of them have across-the-board best prices).

    eBay is good, but as a paranoid bastard I try to avoid it unless there's a really large disparity between the auction prices and the prices at SCG or CardKingdom.

    Reasonable: A fair website. Just a good website with which to purchase these objects I desire. I realize there are major online stores out there for these things, but I do not know where they are.

    Starcitygames.com and cardkingdom.com are great, as I mentioned. Starcitygames.com has a fantastic search engine as well. I actually have heard good things about trollandtoad.com now that I think of it, and their shipping is jaw-droppingly cheap... but I haven't actually bought anything from them, so I can't say if they're legit for sure.

    Damn, I used to use Troll and Toad back in high school, like 10 years ago. I'm amazed taht they're still around. Can't say if they're still up to the same standards, but they used to be good at least.

    Oh, sweet! Hmm, I think I'm going to buy something from them this weekend then, given the fact that at least at one point they were on the up-and-up. I'll buy those Imperious Perfects I've been eyeing. =)

    I'll report back here if and when they actually send it. =)
