I don’t do much with selling for profits, because the combination of fees / buylists / ebaying / TCG store, the hassle is more than these gains are worth to me.

I also feel that 90% of the time, selling to a buylist is just evaporating any “value” you’ve accumulated.

Currently I have a small stack of Spear of Heliod in a compost box somewhere, the card is a solid upgrade to Glorious Anthem and will be a casual card for years to come, if they spike in Standard … great, I’ll cash in … if not, I’m out $12 in bad rares out of my trade binder.

I’d love to see the gods finally get some love.

My question – at what point does rotation become a significant enough headwind that the potential in stuff like Spear of Heliod becomes too small? Realistically it could go up to what? $2? If you’re main approach is trading then this works terrifically. But for those who rely on selling cards for profits, the fees could really hurt here. What do you think?
