Many smaller dealers or collectors use publicly available software. The price to obtain these bots can vary. It is noted that running a Bot is not as simply as turning it on and making money; you need to have a very good understanding of how the MTGO Economy works to run a successful Bot network, and it should not be undertaken lightly.
Further, when using third party software, you subject your computer and your MTGO collection to the person who wrote that software. Trading with Bots - Most bots operate in a similar fashion when buying or selling cards, though there may be some differences. Generally, the bot will guide you through the trade process via prompts in the chat program.
Bots typically operate on a credit system - if you buy or sell cards for fractions of an Event Ticket, they will save your credits for the next time you trade with a bot using that same credit system. As a result, most players will find a handful of bot chains that fit their needs as a player, and use those chains almost exclusively.
See below for recommended bot chains. There are a handful of bot types:. Recommended Bot Chains - These chains have a large bot network, good bot software, extensive inventory, and competitive prices. Trading with Humans - although trading is dominated by Bots, human to human trading does still exist. Humans will typically indicate the fact that they are not bots by putting "Human" in their classifieds message.
It is noted that the reasons bots have become so popular make trading with humans less attractive to newcomers on MTGO, including haggling, price misinformation, availability and difficulty finding stock. Some players actually enjoy haggling, and so trading with other humans may be ideal for those players. Certain large secondary market dealers also operate websites that sell cards and are delivered by humans.
Notably, dealers offering this service include:. Prices can change very quickly on MTGO, and can fluctuate even during a single day. There is not any real "price guide" for MTGO, but most players use some combination of dealer websites to get a fairly good guess on a card's price. MTGOWikiPrice is often cited as a good guide; however, we would caution users of this site that the "top buy prices" can often be dominated by bots with no tickets to buy cards, bots that don't even buy cards, or bots that are often not online - making the prices available on that site only marginally useful.
Mtggoldfish uses certain dealer prices which are updated throughout the day, and it has a very easy to use format for finding card prices. As a bonus, mtggoldfish also includes paper prices as well as online prices. At the end of the day, the vast majority of a card's price can be explained using the supply and demand principle. What aspects of supply and demand are affecting a particular price at any given moment is ultimately the key in deciphering prices.
Because the vast majority of players know the golden "don't just open your boosters" rule on MTGO, the vast amount of the supply comes from limited events, and more specifically, drafts. The popularity of a set's limited environment therefore has a very large impact on the amount of supply in the MTGO system.
Additionally, because most of the supply comes through limited events, the expected value of limited events often acts as a ceiling for card prices for currently draftable formats. In other words, if the prices of the cards in a set are so high that playing limited events becomes cheaper due to the value of what is obtained, players are incentivized to continue playing those formats until the supply is such that the prices of cards in the set no longer significantly subsidize the cost of playing limited events.
More commonly, the secondary market price for unopened boosters is less than the equivalent MTGO store price because of the supply of boosters in the system.
Because boosters are given away as prizes for events, the amount and therefore price of boosters in the market is significantly impacted by not only how many boosters are awarded in prizes for events, but also 1 the pay in for events. The cards and boosters gleaned from Treasure Chests represent new additional supply coming into the system, and depending on the existing supply of those items, can significantly affect prices of cards of the same or similar version already existing on MTGO.
In a nutshell, WOTC allows you to "redeem" complete sets of cards for the paper version of those same cards. MTGSalvation has a detailed primer on set redemption. Set redemption is the only real link between the paper card supply and the MTGO card supply, and it can affect prices in both markets. Sets which are non-redeemable either because they are older or simply designed only for magic online, like Vintage Masters have no link between these markets.
Set redemption has a very significant effect on the number of cards of a particular set available on MTGO, and therefore has a significant effect on the price of the underlying MTGO cards. You can even track weekly fluctuations in MTGO prices with the set redemption schedule.
Additionally, certain card values can be significantly explained by set redemption - for example, mythic rare foils in redeemable sets. Some mythic rare foils are 5x, 10x or even 20x their non-foil price because set redeemers must collect one of each foil of the set to be able to redeem it. Not noted above is the "market supply" of cards, which is a more difficult concept to track and understand. In essence, cards which are in the tradable supply are the key factors to determining the price factors related to supply.
Players that own cards with no intention of trading those cards away, banned accounts, or other factors may prevent certain cards from being in the market supply. In many cases, cards can come into or out of the market supply based on the price elasticity of the person holding the cards, or personal factors of the person holding the cards e. Demand - The demand for cards is a very broad term, and is very fluid. On a very basic level, demand for a card is the number of people seeking to purchase the card at a certain price.
As the price goes up or down, the number of buyers and thus demand may go up or down as well. There are a number of factors that affect overall demand for a particular card, most notably:.
