I believe a lot in that it is not necessary to make a post too long, or with much unnecessary filling to teach something that really has value for another person, and today I will teach you something that until a month ago I really did not do, and I regret it.
To give a bit of context, SteemMonsters and all the work behind it has been the best in Steem in the last 2 years, they have opened a great door and a million opportunities for all people, among many other ways to capitalize that has created the now called splinterlands, today we will focus on the most basic but poorly executed purchase and sale of cards.
My strategy, What will we need?
We will use Peakmonsters
as our main interface, since it is very intuitive and attractive, as well as the best tool for an Splintertrader.
From my experience and with many reasons, I will tell you that the market with the greatest potential is alpha cards and now I will tell you the secret of why.
It is well known that in games, the first and oldest versions become more valuable over time and now, imagine if we add that there is an X number of cards available, which is being reduced every day, because there are no more than 15,000 ALPHA packages in existence according to Steem-Engine, once they have opened them, the number of cards in circulation will only have one direction and that is that they will become more expensive, there will be less supply and demand for their benefits for to earn more DEC, will be there making pressure at the price.
There are some factors that we must understand before starting to buy and sell cards, and that is to find the best opportunities, we must know that the game's compositions are more used, this way we will have more ease when it comes to selling.
I consider that the easiest cards to sell and that most people use belong to the life, earth and water team, because at high levels they are the strongest to defeat. Generally avoiding games with certain rules that favor the other 3.
So we will configure the filter in such a way that we will leave only those 3 elements.
In this example, we see that this crab is listed with an offer of up to 5 times less than its overall price, and in fact we can say that a water team uses it very often because its healing abilities and to shield the entire team with armor they are very necessary, it is an indispensable card in any deck of water.
Now, when we buy it we must know what price to sell it, knowing the wall of other offers that there are and taking into account how long it will take to sell it.
Suppose we bought it at 0.185, a total investment of $ 70 for a card with 379 units. When selling it we can consider a reasonable price of 0.95 per card, if we want to take advantage of it, the time will eat the other offers and let the price rise and there will be your card being the first one in the market. You can sell it for = 379 * 0.95 BCX = about $ 360, of course this is an exaggerated example, but it will take time to sell, on average my trades take 2 days to 2 weeks to complete, so I buy cards with not very high price , but in the end the demand makes sales possible.
But in this example we will have made a profit of almost 500%, if we take a month to sell it, it is still something amazing, imagine that banks just give you 8% annual interest with luck, and you achieve 500% in a month .
