An example is when I bought 100 Shann a few years ago. I sold a couple in her ELO prime (about 2010 if I recall correctly) and made huge, 5-digit profits on each card. For not much time too. If you really don't have the patience to wait, just buy cards that are banned in ELO through weekly voting, and sell when they are unbanned. Simple 30% profit right there in only 1-2 weeks.]]>Sun, 17 Feb 2013 00:47:23 GMT
Yes,you may see the 50 copies of a card you bought at 500 clints a head and wonder why it's not at 10k,or 20k yet,but as they say, "rome wasn't built in a day",and the reality is that it may take months or even a year or two for a card to really start taking off,as this has been the case with cards like El Gringo(500 when it was in NB,i recall),Striker was at 500,Yookie/Rico at 300,and of course,the most known story of all,the well known legend of Alec Cr being at 400 clints at one point and his meteoric rise into the 20k territory. And there are dozens of cards who have gone like that,and im sure there were players who believed,and their faith paid off.

That said,(and my other point will tie into this here),is,if you aren't committed or patient,dont invest.It may sound like a cruel and blunt thing to tell someone,but if you think that a few weeks is a good gauge of where a card seems is going to be until you quit,investing may not be your thing.]]>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 08:06:56 GMT also try and split up good find's in packs.
for example let's say you got Ongh Acid DC and Wesley in a pack. you could keep Ongh and use him to boost your deck or sell him and get a more balanced deck.]]>Sun, 13 Jan 2013 10:02:39 GMTpacks like this one

perfect evidence of why new players should not hoard....
this thread is months old... Bubbles was suggested as a card to be invested on. He was 420 then, he is now 620.
Hoarding cards is not the best use of clintz for new players wanting to maximize their clintz.]]>Sun, 16 Sep 2012 04:48:43 GMT

every DT you play have these benchmarks in mind
1 game (1 minute to 5 minutes) - 50 clintz prize -
top 1/3 of the DT - 120-150 points in a DT (10 - 35 minutes of time)- 50 clintz + 1 credit
top 150 (45 minutes to 1 hour) - 250-450 points should be enough in most DTs, sometimes more, sometimes less - clintz + 1 credit + small chance for Cr]]>Fri, 04 May 2012 07:39:22 GMT
Why?

100 fights with 1:3 win ratio = ~465 clintz
100 fights with 1:2 win ratio = ~550 clintz
100 fights with 3:2 win ratio = ~600 clintz.

by the 10000 fights the one who has gotten a good deck has made 13500-18500 clintz more just by those match pays, got more missions done, scored more bonus win money from game modes and gotten more credits from DT/ELO because he could score better.

Good deck is best long-term investment one can do. It's income is stable, the profits starts instantly its longterm and it cannot backfire.

Forget the marketplay until you have cards you can win with.]]>Fri, 04 May 2012 03:04:59 GMTFri, 04 May 2012 02:39:17 GMT
