i'm not good at sales, so those i won't answer, but my opinion on the trades are as follows.
#1:
i wouldn't have made this trade. i can see pike going on the rise, as a few lists play it now. i can also see noble going down a bit, but idk. bomb is a very solid card in multiple formats.
#2:
i would have made this trade. hex parasite i can see on the rise, and you got some good standard cards, even though the priests are cool.
#2.5:
pretty even imo. i think if i had to choose a side it would be for mikaeus.
#3:
i would have done this trade. shocks are cool with modern ptq starting up, and i can also see isolated chapel going up.
Valuewise, pile B might (Might, not sure) be up a little bit. But thoughtseizes are extremely hard to find and trade for. The fact that pile B is all casual staples makes me favor pile A even more.
I seriously can't even get people in my area to trade thoughtseizes for most lower legacy staples.
I'd take pile A on that savannah trade any day of the week as well. 9 fetches are just much more liquid and valuable than a single savannah. Savannah also is mid ranged dual and not as liquid as the blue duals
Pile B seems better to me, even though SoWaP is one of the hotter cards around now.
Well, like I mentioned before, I got my prices from Starcitygames.com, where both Primevals and Geists are $25. Lots of other sites seem to have them on the rise as well.
I'm also considering this trade.

Geist of Saint traft

I made the offer without the Rugged, and the guy said he would hang onto his Geist

Pile A:
Sacred Foundry - $14 - NM
Arid Mesa - $8 - NM
Plateau - $35 - EX-Played
(tcgplayer low average)
Looks about even, if you need the lands, those are decent prices.
Even if the Plateau is played, the lands are worth a bit more.

I feel like I mist be missing something - is this really nine fetches for a Savannah? Is the Savannah black bordered or unlimited or something?
If it is a revised Savannah, there is a price difference of around $20. That seems like too much of a premium to pay to trade up for a dual.
http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=557874
But I am happy I finally got a dual. Now, I'm not so eager to get another one. Patience is a hard virtue to learn.
Yeah, in terms of playability and value, I'd still take Pile A any day.

or I might ask for 3x Geist of Saint Traft
Both Geists and Primeval have recently shot up to $25 on SCG.com. I'm not sure if that value will hold or drop again soon. Foil Titan is @$40.
http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=409478
Did you get all these prices from SCG? 40$ for a foil primeval titan seems overpriced.
Id go with pile B
My trade thread: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=379815
These prices are all a little off:
Foil Primeval Titan - $25
SoWaP - $22 (gaining momentum)
for
3x Primeval Titan - $15/each
Karn Liberated - $10
2x Sheoldred - $3
Pile B seems better to me, even though SoWaP is one of the hotter cards around now.
