Ahh It's Trading Time on the Trading Floor

Trading is nothing new it's older than humans we just lay claim to everything because we name them.

On magic online the currency is tix, they are used for events.
So they are ever leaving the system.
So people need to keep pumping dollars around the system.

A thing to consider

Since the tix is not easily divisible the bots and bot masters have had to be clever and keep records on everything. This can work in your favor sometimes, when someone needs a tix and they have something slightly higher than the value of the tix they will occasionally yield to your favor.

    Ok... then what I will say is that while the physical version of the game is more expensive, it is MUCH better to play face-to-face than in front of a computer. Sure, you are having fun playing Magic... but one important aspect of the game is actual social interaction. And if you play online... that interaction is just emulated through "chat windows". The physical card game is expensive, but I wouldn't change the social interaction it brings.

Main Stay

Your main stay of trading is the message board bbs, auction, bots, forums, guild.
If you use all of these methods you will be able to play in plenty of events and also help the community and yourself along the way.

Magic the Gathering Online Message Board

When you are trading on message boards the hot cards will be found first that and cards that have value but no one else has posted at the time will often get some response fairly quickly.
The longer you are on those the boards the more trades you will make.
The more transactions you make the better your collection will be.

Mtgo Chats

Many of these features are in chats
their is an auction chat, a casual chat, auction2, and various other chats on mtgo.

Your Guild

Your guild is often one of the first places you will turn when you are in need these are people that you play cards with regularly, and so they have your interest in mind. Also they might lend you cards for tourneys ect.

The Guild

If you are an open nerd or a secret nerd geek dweeb, super star because all geeks are.
They just happen to care more about brains and what are in them than fancy cars.
Although I will not disinclude car geeks and hackers they could change the world by changing our energy needs.
Keep hacking.

Mtgo Auctions

Auctions are often good for producing collections and value you can often grab collections for less than half of their market value on sites like ebay.
Check it out below and make a bid.

Mtgo Bulk Tix

Bulk tix are also the way to play by doing this you will have tix available when things change in the markets and things change very quickly on mtgo.

Mtgo Bots

Bot's are an intrinsic way that the mtgo trading system works often times the values of trades will be determined by bot values.
So find a few bot lists and find their prices and their price discrepancies.
This can allow you to make some arbitrage trades as well.

The real world

If you need real cards and you have time buy sets from on mtgo they are often times far less than real life and you can make set arbitrage between offline and online.
