Many players search the endless lists of bots in Magic Online Classifieds for a trade. Sometimes, the player gets what he wants and all will end the best way as both customer and bot owner are satisfied. Most of the time though the customer won't be satisfied and will search elsewhere for a better deal, things like this happens in the supposedly free market of the Magic Online Classifieds.
There are times though when the customer won't only be disappointed by the deals offered to him, but more than that he will feel he would be ripped off and totally deceived had he accepted the deals presented to him by that bot-store owner.
Even worse , some customers will be surprised to find that what was advertised by a specific bot has nothing to do with the trade deals that are really offered to him.
The customer of our last example will most likely make a mental note not to use this trader again and will certainly not advice other players to use this trader in their future trades!
The owner of the specific bot has just lost a chance to trade and any potential client that user might have brought to his service.
Here is some advice i would give the future and current bot owners in order to avoid their potential customers from evading their bot on site.
First of all, keep prices updated to some extend. Some costumer might love to buy that Bloodbraid Elf for his collection and will be totally disatisfied if it sees it at a 3 tickets price tag. Many customers need cards that are not currently played but were once staples ,so make the most of it and dont leave those cards at an out of date extravagant price tag.
Furthermore , don't advertise something that is different from what you actually offer! When you claim to offer a card at 5 tickets price at your advertisement on Magic Online Classifieds people will be irritated to find out that your bot is asking for 6 tickets instead. Apart from deceiving them ,your are wasting their time after all.
Finally,there is no point in offering ridiculously low prices on cards that cost more. People aren't stupid and although one or two individuals might be ripped off at some trades for your great profit , most people will notice and learn to avoid your bot at all costs!
Having a profitable bot-trader on Magic Online may prove difficult, that it why you should avoid mistakes that will make your business eventually fail!
