EXTRA!.....EXTRA!

There comes a time in a magic player’s life where they will have tons of extra cards of the same name. What would you do with the extras? Where would you put them? Probably by this point you would have multiple decks with those same name cards in it, what more can you do with it from there? Sideboard? Nah, they are full. Leave them in the deck box? Nah it’s taking up too much space. What to do? What to do?

One of the first things a player would do is either try to sell them their LGS or trade them with other players for one of their cards. Trading cards is a fun thing to do without spending any type of money. Saving money is better than spending it all, especially if you are broke, and unemployed. A lot of players go by value rather than what they really need for their decks. There are also players who trade just to get the cards they need for their decks. The trade is only good if both players walk away happy with their cards, unless one had second thoughts and would want the card back. Most cases once the player makes a trade, they won’t trade back.

Buying from other players is probably not a good idea. It’s always better to buy from your local game, at least then you be buying them for what they are worth, not the attachment value the player has with the cards. Buying from the local game shop is a better way to go because it helps the economy and gets more players to come to the shop because of a particular card some of the players sold to them.

Selling to your local game shop is also a good way to go, only because they will pay you as close to the price worth for the cards as they can. You can either get cash for them or store credit for them. Either way is good because most likely you know he shop well and the shop knows you, you’d go there often enough to use the store credits or anything in the store.

What do you do with your extra cards?
