What cards do you keep and what cards do you sell?
Hi everyone! Just wondering how you go about selling your cards. I currently only sell duplicates because I'm trying to collect all of the cards, but I'm finding that I'm not making much profit off of that. I am level 31 and the highest duplicate amount that I am getting consistently is around $20-$30. Every so often I get a $100-$200 duplicate card that I can sell.

How do you go about selling your cards? Is it better to sell your high ones even though they aren't duplicates? I guess what I'm asking is how hard is it to get the $1000+ cards back? I definitely will not be selling my Ghost cards

Selling high valued cards is not mainly what will get you rich and make progress. It can help to sell duplicates, but compared to the overall revenue its just a small percentage.

I would say your're doing the correct thing now by only selling duplicates if you're going for the full collection. It is what most people are doing that are trying to get full collection (or only the 2500 achievement).
I have atm about 2440 cards in my collection (opened 65k card packs), and I still have some "1k cards" of which I only have 1 copy, so selling one that arent a duplicate may just turnout to be the one you're missing later on.

Lvl 31 is fairly early in the game. If you are running short in cash there are other ways to go about, like selling "only" your highest card box (a bunch of videos on yt with tips). And even if you are running the shop with multiple items and just barely making profit, it at some point will turn for the better, just takes some time.

I sell only duplicates. I want to have one card of each. Oh and some really expensive cards I put into the show cases so that my customers can look at them and be jealous.

The upcoming update "Customers Trade Cards" is another factor to also have in mind. Maybe even worth keeping some duplicates for potential trades.

I stopped selling singles very early and keep all dupes for future updates after i saw trading on the road map. Like Jeppe said, you rarely get a dupe of a high value card. Even far into the game you still get new cards valued in the $50 range. Also you don't need to sell singles to progress

I used to only sell duplicates until I saw the update road map. Also, depending on your selling price, they may sell out pretty quick, so restocking a few times a day can be a pain, unless you want it to affect your customer's purchasing rng.
Not sure how you are running your shop, but if you want to make money real quick, buy wide shelves and stock them with the card box that nets you the highest profit. Also purchase shop expansions as soon as you can (increases total number of customers able to visit shop) and box up play tables (for quicker customer turnover). It's they easiest way to manage inventory, stocking, pricing, etc.
I found that play style a little bland, so I ran a regular shop with all unlocked items at the time. Then on the empty shelves, I stocked my highest profiting card box.
Look up Keldor on youtube for all sorts of tips.

If you care about achievements, only duplicates.

That being said, singles will affect customer traffic... better to only use the table a single time when you only have heavy hitter cards on it.
