Hi Alex,

All the card links go directly to Traders Tools 3, which has been developed by QS to gather pricing data from vendors. The ‘Buy’ price is the price you will have to pay the vendor for the card. The ‘Sell’ price is the price you will get for selling a card, so all the prices are from the perspective of the dealer.

Having said all that, Traders Tools has only been developed for paper prices so far, and this report is largely concerned with prices in the MTGO economy. There are a few articles around about how to find good buy and sell prices on MTGO. If you are not sure a price is ‘good’ or not, I would wait to get a better feel for the market. All recommendations to buy and sell are for MTGO only!

A general rule of thumb is that cardbot/mtgotraders are in the mid to upper price range for cards, but they are well stocked. So when you are comparing prices between bots, use them as a baseline.

Good luck! Matt

Is there any article that explains how to use this information for new buyers I look at the links for the cards and for some reason I cant grasp how to interpret the information. It looks to me like the buy from and sell to are switched and when I look at the buy from site its always higher then the sell to site?
