Whats worth more

[Mrs.Moo]

Selling individual cards i open from packs or selling the cards in bulk? what is more profitable, singles or bulk?

[Oblivion]

unless its duplicate cards never sell em, and you should be doing both. open packs while your selling packs "workbench bundles is to dump excess low cost duplicates, but its not worth doing unless you got a bunch of 3-5 cost bundles and even that goes fast to being a waste of time aswell when u get some levels

Actually it totally depends on your cards... Bulks are very good to sell many "low" price cards that are excessively boring to sell one by one otherwise and selling cards are made just for the ones that grants you a good amount of cash, and that amount depends on you again...Since it could be boring to sell cards quite fast, you have to sell the ones that gives you the most cash (and i highly recommand to sell only dupes) and to do not try to sell the ones with low value (like selling cards for 10 $ is not really worth for the time you take to sell them).

Actually, if you just started the game selling singles cards is way much more better than trying to sell bulks but later both are just complementary and shouldn't be opposite.

[Assume I have 400 Ping]

You'll end up doing both.
All your ♥♥♥♥ cards that'll never, ever sell individually (below £5) go into bulk boxes. But generally speaking, the individual cards are where the money is at.

I only sell duplicates but the dupes I do get from boxes nowadays tend to pay for the cost of the box easily by around 1-4x and anything else left over is pure profit.

There's a small 'dead' zone where cards valued between £5.01 and like £15 are generally wasted money. Arguably up to £20, depends on how long I go without opening packs.

From my experience so far (still below 50 shop level) the giga-expensive cards take forever to sell.. like I pulled a 17k and 10k card.. neither have sold.

However, I routinely sell the cards that are like 2k and below when I do get them within the same day. So it really depends. I would say if you can bulk buy boxes (like 10+) its worth to just do that, but otherwise keeping your shop stocked is the way to go.

I am also doing a "semi-realism" where I am trying to sell everything, have a stock room with workers who only stock all day everyday.

Also, ONLY OPEN PACKS IN THE MORNING. If you do it at night and forget you have the light on, suddenly 500 cost electricity the next day.. only made that mistake once :P

Customers have a maximum allowance based on player level and shop expansions. Sometimes there are rich customers that do have double or triple that money.

If you can't sell a 17k card, it means you still need to grow in level.

Single Cards = sell your high value singles
Bulk Boxes = sell your worthless low value duplicates

Singles should be generating you greater profit than bulk but I'm confused. The wording of your question makes it seem like they are exclusive of each other when in reality you would be selling both of them (or just skip bulks entirely due to infrequent purchases by customers). I personally only sell singles that are worth $10 or more each, the maximum value card that can go into a bulk box is $5 so these items have no overlap.

Very confused as to the purpose of this question.

[sayakai]

Singles, if they're valuable enough. The core issue here is that singles can be a loss if they're not valuable enough relative to the rest of your stock, because people buying singles also buy fewer other things.

As for bulk, white bulk is just a waste of shelf space. Everything else is good product unless you really want to optimize. Expect it to sell slowly though.

[UrbanNoodles]

Strictly answering your question without backseat gaming, singles are worth more since you can have a higher pack ripping rate and shorter shelf life. Making the bulk boxes takes time away from ripping packs, and its just for 10-20 bucks that sells slower than other stock. Packs can have singles that range from $100-20k and will always sell quickly assuming you expand your shop enough.

Another factor could be how lucky you get with draws. If you only get low quality pulls most of the time this could push you towards bulk box selling .
Over time it should average out, but recently i've noticed i've got some fairly long periods of nothing then suddenly 1-5 decent cards in the next few packs, then back to nothing for a while.

I will say there is a limit to where optimisation starts to eat into your real world time. If you're opening dozens/hundreds of packs each in-game day then that is going to start having an affect on your gameplay. Personally I think optimising in this manner isn't that fun, but it's certainly an option if you really need the money from a few high value cards.

Even if most responses will naturally push you towards the optimal strategy that some players have found, it's always important to balance that with how you play the game yourself, if you don't think something is fun then don't do it.

just clarifying, i dont know what nilinor has, but it goes like this (normal customer = 100% (5k?) max spend. wealthy customer = (10k?) max spend. rich customer = (20k?) max spend for me since i have a maxed out store its about 21.9k normal 43.8k wealthy and 87.6k rich.

i agree! ill most likely continue doing both but i was just curious to see others opinions. My pull luck is very low. i have a hard time pulling anything over $20 most of the time. Im also trying to go for that achievement of collecting 2500 cards so ill need to keep at least one of everything till i get a dupe
