Common Knowledge: Diamonds in the rough


Every set of Magic has it's power rares and mythics, but there are also many commons that can provide you with a good margin if you get them at the right price. When your collection starts running into thousands or tens of thousands of cards, it can be easy to focus on the money rares and forget about all those cards that are worth less than 1 Tix.

With Commander being released next week we can expect to see a surge of interest in older cards which are almost unplayable in any other format and by keeping up with trends you can make good profits by stocking up on these cards and keeping your prices competitive. If you're not an EDH/Commander player, now is the perfect time to start doing some research and advertising some of the less popular cards which will soon be sought after.

Remember your bot allows you to tailor which cards are advertised in your classifieds ad through the CardsForAdvertisement text file so adding random EDH staples to your classifieds ads is a breeze. It's probably a good time to up your buy limits on certain cards as people will be buying the Commander precons and then trading up to tailor the decks to their needs. If you go to the collection tab in the bot you can easily change the sets you wish to purchase and how many of each card you want and don't forget you can specify individual cards in your PersonalPrices text file.
