Magic the Gathering, online tutorial?

Where can I purchase big lots of Magic: The Gathering cards online?

• I've been playing Magic: The Gathering since 1995 when 4th edition was out. When I joined the Army I gave all of my cards to my friend. I still play in Sealed Deck/ Booster Draft tournaments, but I only keep the rares I pull, and I give the rest away (what a dummy. I know...) Now I find myself wanting to play again but don't have any cards. Where can I go online to buy boxes (not tournament boxes, booster boxes, or fat packs, I'm talking about hundreds, even thousands, with rares, commons and commons mixed in) of cards? I already know about eBay, thats where I usually go. I'm looking for other sites. Steve, help me out buddy.

• Answer:

  The only thing I know about buying in bulk would be Ebay. Of course, you could ask other players. If you want to go that route, I would suggest http://forums.magictraders.com/Ultimate.cgi or http://forums.gleemax.com/forumdisplay.php?f=268 Both are free accounts. Just get an account and post a thread that you are looking for bulk stuff. Tell them that you are trying to get back in and they will help you out. I know that most of them are good people. I haven't ran into any rippers yet. Also, I am at the opposite end of you. I still love the game but with no one around to play with, I feel that I getting further away from the game. I usually hang out on the Wizards boards or Woodenmarble. That's where I get my Magic fix now. Now that I don't have anyone to play with and I don't want to get Magic Online. I've got a 40 lb. box of commons and uncommons and roughly about 200 rares. When I got out of Active Duty, I really stopped buying packs. I get them every now and then but now it's about 3 packs every 3 or so months. I can give you a deal if you want to take mine off my hands.
