Don't panic too much everyone. The larger the dealer I would say the safer you are. (dealers like Georgetown Card Exchange and Potomac etc.) I am sure they are just stating off of preorders that they are probably already almost sold out. I think most dealers pull the preorder option off of there site when they have sold out there confirmed case orders.
I just bought a case from a dealer I buy from a lot and he told me he was confirmed for 10 cases and I bought his last one. I checked 1 minute later and the preorder case option was already off of their site.

Georgetown still has preorders at $624.95 per case (and they're listing a November 1 ship date).

This is true. I might buy the box from the store, but I am sure by the time I get there, it will be opened and cost $3 a pack, which I guess still isn't horrible. I am also going to a show November 13, and hope to see some boxes there too.
And as for what kbmum said, does anyone know a definite number on this run yet?

I put in an order for a case from Georgetown a week or so ago and still haven't heard from them in regards to them confirming my order.
They sent an original email to let me know they got the order but they don't guarantee your order unless its confirmed.
A week was a little too much suspense for me so i panicked and went elsewhere.
It could be because i'm in Australia and its all too much.
I wonder if any stores over here have caught the buzz yet?

greenpaw, I placed an order with them too and did not receive a confirmation email. I wrote them and they finally sent one. I bet your order went through, they just didn't do the follow through. I would contact them.

When I placed my order with Georgetown, I heard from them immediately. Before sending payment, I even asked them two or three questions and heard back when I checked my email the next day. Perhaps, giving them a quick email will help!

Also if you paid by credit card and they charged your card I would say that is a good sign, then again I recently had a back experience with that and they strung me along for a month before saying they couldn't get the product...so I would call them.

I placed my order with Georgetown back in June, and it took them a week to confirm. Since then, I've emailed a couple of questions, and it usually takes a few days before they get back to me.

Thanks all. I actually contacted a seller on ebay i bought a master (well semi-master) set through the first time around and he said he could sell me two cases. So i contacted Georgetown and asked if i could cancel or if they could just not process my order. they replied almost immediatley and said that they would not process it. I'm not really sure what's happpening there. I have found Potomac the best so far but only ordered one case early on and then they sold out. Then as it has gotten closer got itchy wrapper fingers. I also pulled a Mark Hamill auto...  makes the option a little more realistic. Thanks everybody for your feedback as well. I hope everyone pulls some great cards. Two weeks and counting! |

I only opened one case. I intended to open half the boxes and sell the other half unopened on ebay. I put a box up for 5 days and no-one bought it so decided to open it instead.  Nice surprise! I have 2 other cases i've not opened yet. Its hard to top getting such a rare card. Mind you i have no problem selling it and picking up a few nice sketch cards-not to mention a Daily Prophet Card. Like the pear Tree Leaf i can't really justify hanging onto one expensive card when there are lots of cheaper ones i can purchase. It'll probably be more like 23 days 10 hours and 39 minutes till i get my cards but hey thats what checking box breakdowns is for-i can live vicariuosly (not sure of spelling) for 10 days. |

Those are the worst sketches! I don't care if the artist was paid only $1 per sketch, pride alone should have made him do a better job.

Just a quick update on Georgetown card exchange,
We ordered a case a while ago. Like I said in an earlier post, we never received replies to emails and had to place a call to get the order confirmed. After asking another question and not receiving a reply, I called to cancel our order. I simply did not feel comfortable paying someone so much money and not having questions replied in a timely manner; it's not good business.
During the call I was talked to extremely rudely by a worker. They did not want to cancel the order and gave me a terrible time. Finally they said they would cancel. I asked for a confirmation email that the order was canceled, and was told that I probably wouldn't get one, still in an extremely rude, sarcastic voice. It was only after I threatened to call the BBB and asked to talk to a manager that they said they would send a confirmation email. I guess I’ll have to see if it actually comes.
The way a company treats their customers says something about them. I am glad to have my order canceled and to be done with the company. Buyer Beware!

Great, something else to worry about.  I sent them an email last week asking when they expected to ship the update, and they responded to it the same day. All things considered, when it's time to preorder the GOF set, I think I'll be going with Potomac. Their box price was $3 less, the shipping was free for orders over a certain amount, and I don't think I've ever heard anyone here complain about them. |

I've ordered from potomac a number if times, and I have never had a problem with them. They respond to emails quickly andprofessionally. I just wish I ordered more than one case from them before they sold out.

I'll second that! Something I don't need to be worrying about as well. They'll prolly be fine and all but the stress just isn't worth it.

There is a seller on ebay right now who is selling cases for $559.95 with O/s shipping for $44. At time of writing they have 6 cases available. Their feedback looks good at 99.9 too.
For those that missed out this may be a good deal!
