Hello everybody,
It's been a while since I wrote the last post in which I summarized the findings of my research regarding quest potions.
I’ve been busy ever since, and my life is still pretty full these days. Yet, I want to share with you the profits I made by card trading.
I do not claim to be a great expert on the subject, which is exactly why you need to listen to what I have to say. If I manage to earn some DEC with this method you too can.
How I started
My motivation to try my luck on the trade came after I bought CALADUUM.
Back then I did not even plan to buy the card for future profit. I bought it because I needed a monster in fire splinter that have the void ability.
The card cost then 5815 DEC and I felt that it was worth more. Well, My prediction was correct, and today this card is sold in the market for 80$! (10,172 DEC).
It was pure luck, I did not buy the card because I planned to sell it and in fact I still do not intend to sell it. But since then I have managed to trade quite a few cards and make some extra DEC doing so.
Example- CTHULHU
I bought this card for 50$ and immediately put it up for 64$. And within a few hours the price was done and I got 14$ richer.
If I had not sold the card and chose to hold it instead, I could now sell it for about 110$!!! (That's it price in the market right now).
Tips
Look for a card whose cheapest price is in the gap from the next price step. For example:
If you buy this card you can put it back on the market at a price of $ 15.8 and make a profit of almost $ 3 (from this profit a little purchase tax will be cleared).Start small, No matter how tempting it is to buy legendary cards and make a profit of tens of dollars. Do not do this until you feel confident enough! Sometimes it takes a long time for the investment to pay off. And you do not want to be disappointed before you have time to gain confidence.
Be prepared for failure too! Quite a few times I bought a card that I thought was going to go up in value just so that the next day the market would be flooded with it. It sucks, but to keep myself from being disappointed in a situation like this, I try to buy cards that might be used by me in the game. So I know that even if I get stuck with them in the end I will not be too disappointed. For example:
When I bought this card I was sure it would increase in value quickly. Unfortunately two days after the market flooded with it. It will probably take some more time before I can sell it at a profit. But I'm not disappointed because this card might serve me well! (When combined with DELWYN DRAGONSCALE it is quite awesome).Be prepared that when chaos packages are offered for sale the prices of a large portion of the cards may drop significantly. Until then the prices in my opinion will go up but when the new packages are offered for sale, the prices may go down again (in my opinion).
Conclusion
I totally believe that if I managed to make a profit this way you can too!
However it is important for me to note that I also failed from time to time, and not every deal of mine ended in profit. There are a few cards I am stuck with for now and it is possible that in the long run their price will go up but at the moment they are not sold and are not helpful to me.
It is therefore important to be careful and choose our investments wisely.
Successful hunting friends!
