Anyone can sign up for TCGPlayer. Most people just make an account to buy cards but you can access the seller portion of the site through the same account. I prefer selling on TCG rather eBay because it gives you better control of how much you’re selling each copy of a card for. Sometimes you see auctions for 4x of a card that you don’t need 4 of (like Stony Silence, for instance). In order to sell that auction you would need to probably sell it for less than single copies as an incentive for people to buy it. If you sell cards as singles you pay more fees (because its % + flat fee). TCG allows people to buy their own bundle of cards and you don’t get dinged more on shipping or fees.

Some features are only available to stores (like TCG Direct) but anyone can sell. The details can be found here http://store.tcgplayer.com/help/sellwithtcgplayer .

You have to set up a seller account, but anyone can do that. The higher-volume sellers do enjoy certain privileges/discounts, although I’m less than familiar on the details there.

Is that something that just anybody can do? Or do you need some kind of special Seller Account or something for that?

Contrary to the other poster (who I note frequently posts here and usually only posts criticism), I thought this article is a great addition to the site (and I’m a daily reader and infrequent poster) as it can apply to anyone who collects magic cards. I’m definitely interested in the follow-up article too.

Jim, I’m glad you bring something different to the site, I think it gives the site a greater general applicability to modern players. I really hope Modern Nexus can keep growing and providing diverse content (and not just tournament reports, as I note some of the writers have a tendency to fall into).

What I would like to see the site create is a better filling system for older articles so older content is more readily found, sort of like what StarCityGames has.

Anyway, thank you very much. 🙂

I’m sorry you feel that way but in my experience Modern players ask these questions just as much as Standard and Legacy players. I’m not trying to sell you on Quietspeculation but rather give you the avenues to pursue to get the most value from your cards if you so choose. If you have a question you’d like answered, I’m more than happy to answer it but sometimes topics aren’t capable of being written about for an entire article and still keep the level of quality you expect here.

Don’t act so entitled. This is a site that provides free content no one is forcing you to read.

I for one have been thoroughly enjoying Mr. Casale’s articles on how to get the most for your money in regards to this spendy hobby. Keep up the good work.

Honestly this was not the intent here. We’re still getting a sense of where Jim fits in here, and what kind of finance content readers want. We’ll be sure to have a Modern slant for the next one. Thanks for the feedback.

But I guess they need to pump quiet speculation at least once a week to justify taking over site fees for modern nexus.
