What is overpriced selling?
Overpriced selling means listing a card above a market price you previously observed. The intended markup needs to cover the selling fee and leave a surplus. In German-speaking communities, the method is often called ÜV.
The key distinction is between an offer and an outcome. A listed card has not yet sold. While it stays on your transfer list, the Coins you used to buy it remain tied up. A high asking price alone tells you little about whether your approach is working.
One trade, properly calculated
Assume you buy a card for 10,000 Coins and actually sell it for 12,000. For this example, we use a selling fee of 5%.
The markup is 2,000 Coins. After the assumed fee, 1,400 Coins remain. Ten completed sales with those numbers produce a mathematical total of 14,000 Coins.
This is not an earnings forecast. It does not tell you how often a sale will happen or how long it will take. Enter your own assumptions in the Coin calculator.
Why budget and waiting time matter
If nearly all your Coins are tied up in unsold cards, you have little room for other decisions. Separate the budget for your playing squad from the Coins you want to use for trading.
Do not judge a trade only by the profit on one card. Record how long your budget was tied up and how many cards actually sold. Twenty listings with an attractive markup are not automatically better than a smaller number of completed sales.
A practical check before buying
- Compare like with like: Check the exact card version. Different versions are not a reliable price comparison.
- Do the maths: Deduct the selling fee from expected revenue.
- Set a limit: Decide how many Coins you want tied up at once.
- Keep records: Note the buying cost, actual selling price and waiting time.
- Reassess: Review your assumptions if prices fall or sales do not happen.
What a tool changes, and what it does not
A tool can handle recurring tasks. It cannot remove fluctuating demand or the possibility of being left with unsold cards. Subscription costs also belong in your decision, even though you pay them in money rather than Coins.
