Hey Barnabas, thanks for reading!
I’m actually referring to buyers at home. Large vendors such as SCG and Card Kingdom will also be adjusting their buylists in response to spikes. If you miss an opportunity to sell somewhere such as TcgPlayer, you can lock in a profitable buylist order with the vendors.

Re: articles- If you have an insider account, there are some excellent pieces on QS from the past week or two. If you’re not a member, I recommend considering joining. There’s great value not only in content, but in the Trader Tools data and buylist information it provides. It’s pretty invaluable!

Another source to check is the /mtgfinance subreddit, and the MTGFinance Central Facebook page. There’s always conversation surrounding speculation in those groups, and they’re free.

Good luck, and I’d be very interested to hear how your PT weekend goes!

I’m not Tarkan but…

1. The most optimal way to sell your cards very much depends on the time you have and the Volume of cards you have as well as your predictions as to how the Price of certain cards will settle.

Oftentimes at vendors not at the PT there will be a bit of buylist lag meaning that they don’t immediately update their buylist. You can choose to wait it out a bit and then ship to an online buylist but this takes time.

If you have time and lower volume and want to maximize your profits trading them off and selling on Ebay, Facebook, Tcgplayer, or whatever can work well.

2. I know for most MTG Finance sites most card specs are discussed in paid subscription based content. Apart from the various sites out there there are groups on Facebook, reddit and other forums devoted to specs. and, If you really get involved over time you will be able to identify specs yourself.

I really like this article, but I do have a few questions.

1. It seems like you’re mainly referring to buy-listing to vendors at the PT. Is this mainly meant for people at the PT? For those of us at home, how do you suggest we sell our cards? Ebay? Facebook? TCG player?

2. What articles do you suggest for card specs discussed by other authors. I’ve been busy lately and haven’t had a chance to read all the articles, but I do like the one entitled “betting on losers”. Beyond that, I can’t find many that refer to cards that may spike during the PT.
