The amount of time it takes for this approach is really up to you. Keep in mind that prices can fluctuate daily — or even hourly — at many dealers. Time the trades right and you will eek out that extra amount for your collection. The truly committed can also try to sell their bulk items for tix as well. Again the principle of trust is extremely important, especially when dealing with event tickets, which tend to attract the most fraudsters.
As always, the safest method is to sell to a well-known dealer. Most big dealers like Cardhoarder and MTGO Traders are always buying tickets, even in large quantities — the price being paid is what fluctuates. If you time your sale right, you can get a better payout for your event tickets e. A final note on self-liquidation: eBay and other marketplace sites are a possibility as well.
Given the low margin on MTGO through bots and risk noted in selling using PayPal, I do not recommend using these types of sites to self-liquidate. Someone very familiar with eBay — specifically in selling digital products — might find this a more comfortable approach. Redemption is the link the between paper and online cards. The sets available for redemption cycles over time , but you can redeem either foil or non-foil sets. I am including this option in this guide because it likely yields you the most total value; however, if you are reading this guide and it is the first time you are reading about redemption, I would strongly advise against taking this approach to cash out of MTGO.
The redemption market and paper market economies are significantly different from the MTGO economy. I recommend you look back at old price trends to get a feel for spotting a change in the weather.
To execute a short sale, you must first sign up for a MTGO rental account. There are multiple vendors in the MTGO card rental space, but the one that seems to work best for short sales is Cardhoarder. You can sign up for an account here.
There is typically a multi-week wait to sign up for a rental accounts, so do keep that in mind. You are charged for your maximum ticket allowance regardless of whether you use your allocation. I started with tickets, and plan to move to 1, ticket plan soon. If you are just getting started, I would recommend starting small and working up higher as you become more confident in your results.
Another way to approximate a short on cards is by selling a card you already own as part of your personal collection, and eventually buying them back later once the price drops, thereby lowering the cost of your personal collection.
I often do this for the expensive staples in my collection — especially around set rotation, but obviously this method is limited based on your collection size.
Our profits will be the gap between those two prices minus time spent and rental fees paid. Got it? Rental programs like Cardhoarder provide an interesting opportunity to short digital MTGO cards for a potential profit.
Update: Nathaniel from CardHoarder reached out with the following position on short selling via their card rental service:. I will also note that you can just as easily lose money as make it doing shorting assuming it is just speculation, rather than reacting to a ban — it is extremely risky, and essentially uses the loan service to front money without collateral on a spec, which is not the nature of what these agreements are.
Timing of a Short Sale When executing a short sale, you must be sure to time your actions carefully. Hit Critical Price Threshold: Yes, reached ticket threshold. Comparison: At the time of the price spice, of Aether Revolt rares only Walking Ballista, which sees significantly more play, was worth anything close to 10 tickets.
Play Patterns: Relegated to sideboards in small numbers, not essential to any strategy. It was unlikely that this would become a ticket card, limiting the risk, while it was very likely that the price would return to a normal ticket level soon.
Outcome: Position closed, 12 tickets net profit after. Shorted at I was a little early on exiting this position.
