Was this trade fair?

I made this trade without reference to ebay or hcrealms so I'm not sure. What do you think?

I gave:
KC Shazam

I got:
Goblin Queen
Sinestro of Korugar
Asp R
Hydra Medic R

If I was a little bit better off w/ Shazam I still don't feel cheated. 1 LE for 2 isn't bad.

pretty fair, everything is playable on that list.

yeah since KC Shazam! should be in abundance I'd say 2 LEs sounds fair.

KC Shazam was a 5$ mailaway and I think he's still available online, so I'd say you got the better end of the deal.

If I was a little bit better off w/ Shazam I still don't feel cheated. 1 LE for 2 isn't bad.If you are a collector/completist and needed the pieces you received and had an extra of Shazam, then yes. You made a good trade. Otherwise, you have to weigh the trade on its collectability merit. Is Shazam hard to come by? Not really. Is Goblin Queen and Sinestro sought after? Not really. It's a fairly balanced trade that is actually slightly in your favor because it's a two for one of pieces that are almost the same worth.

If you are a player you have to think about how often you played Shazam in regards to how often you will play the 4 pieces you traded him for. If you used Shazam often but have no plans to use any of the 4 you are receiving, then it was most likely a bad trade. If you never used Shazam and have no real interest in playing him, then you either came out ahead (meaning you will play the pieces you received) or you broke even (meaning you will never play the pieces you received).


Which one of these fits you the most?
