      I'm in the market for a foil Grim Monolith, but it seems like someone bought them out here in the US and is keeping them bought out on eBay and the like. Magiccardmarket.eu and other Europe-specific venues seem to still have them and at reasonable prices. Has anyone found a good way to move cards between continents other than eBay?

        @AmbivalentDuck There are 5 on tcgplayer at the moment. Pretty pricey.

        Brian Kelly Freudian self-analysis of the day:
        I like to express the id that a player would feel without the superego of being like, "oh you have to be nice."

          @Topical_Island Yeah, I saw that. The effects of the buyout will probably slowly wear off. Since it's a reserve list foil that gets played, it'll probably take some time to get to equilibrium, though.

            There's a couple people out there doing proxy MKM buying for a fee. If you have some friends in Europe, you might get one of them to do it.

            Caveats:

            • This requires a fair amount of trust
            • Either they have to open and inspect the cards, which is work for them, or you're basically not going to be able to dispute transactions
            • It's going to take much longer to get your cards
            • You're going to pay to insure shipping twice

              If you are looking for bling (and not sanctioned playable), I have a couple gold border ones that are available.

              Edit: Plenty on Flebay.
