  1. haha :D the Squee secret is out! That lil buggar is such a pain! Come on Masques I want my foily star squee. Too bad you don’t have more trading time each week. There was a foil FoW for sale for 155 this last week in the classified. Maybe if you have tix in time for the August Me123 you could achieve your goal.

  2. Great article again, and I agree about the fetchlands. They are bound to go up, they’re so useful.

    Seems like flipping fetchlands is all you need to do to get rich on MTGO :D

  4. Yea I would kill for that list of foils that are semi-guarenteed to turn profit =) My trading up knowledge is incredibly lacking and anything to help flip a profit would be nice! I might invest in hundreds of fetchlands as Zage suggests lol.
    Again I have to say, as I do every week, Im loving this series of articles and am trying to learn from them as well as stay entertained. Hope you find some good trades this week!

  5. bah.. 12?!? for squee? you was short changed. I’d have paid 15 :)

    Going to ask again.. any chance of a progress chart showing your collection value over your weeks. Sorry to keep banging the drum about it but I think it’d be a real bonus to you articles.

    Anyway, great article again. As always…

  6. @Orgion – Oh, I am happy to sell you a foil Squee. Just check our shop and you will find 3 more of the little bugger waiting for a new owner. I could have bought a playset for 7 each but only had the tickets for one. That did not prevent me from grabbing the rest with my store account though. I will add a list with cards to watch out for next time and include a small chart that shows the progress.
    Thanks for the comments!

  7. Interesting to know! I too look forward to the list of foil gold mines heh!

    Also, may I ask how you are scanning classifieds? Do you search anything in specific, or just hit show all. Finding a deal like someone SELLING marsh flats for 3 each is great now, since they have risen to the point where bots buy it for 3.5 I think. Would be nice to know!

  8. One thing I do is just search human in the classifieds. I find many great deals here just scimming through them. I would also suggest using the auction room. You can join auction my typing /join auction Here you can bid on items and get them rather cheap.

  9. Loving this article series …

    Would it be possible to type the contents of the trade below the pictures? … I am having a hard time discerning how many tix are involved in the trade.

  10. I definitely agree with your conclusion on the fetchlands. In my experience you can make some bank off flipping them. Up to 33 ticks already. Not bad.

  11. Good idea about searching human! Sometimes I search casual to try and get some good trades, but people are obsessed with using the bot calculator to argue about my .10 cent rare to their .15 cent rare or .20 cent rare etc. While I understand this is useful for not getting ripped off on valuable cards, when it comes to cards like my realms uncharted (which they are looking for) for their summoning trap or their renegade doppelganger, I feel like it is just too frustrating

  12. That was a pretty sweet deal on Squee. Never thought about there being a low supply of certain cards like that besides promos which most don’t seem to want anyways.
