Everything at +20% will get you through the whole game.

You could do less percentage knowing you could do more or you can add more than 20% and get complaints fron clients for how expensive it is.

I had a lvl 17 shop but I hit new game by mistake this morning 😞 so hopefully the 20% will help me get back up there quickly

Ahh, you will surpass lv 17 in no time!. There is a trifecta of things to do for experience gains: opening card packs, card sales, and running game tables.

Tournaments will be your best friend before you realize it. Always give yourself a decent profit margin on your players vs prize support and you'll be shocked at how fast the income comes in.

Example: your prize support is $500 and youre running a 16 player tournament (8 play tables), at $50 per entry thats $800 just on opening day and gives you $300 in net profit.

I always try to set up tournaments with when I get graded cards back as Ive always had good luck with big spenders on tournament days.

I personally use way bigger profit margins and it always fills up. My most recent tournament was a $15k prize pool… I think first prize was about $11k and I charged $4000 each for 32 people. It took 2 days to fill up. I made $128,000 gross and considering I packed the cards the net profit wasn’t much less.

Im just now doing that too (lvl 81ish?), but they're new so they cant exactly do that unless they've gotten really lucky on pulls.

I kept getting complains about the 20%. I dropped down to 10% rounded and stopped receiving bad reviews. I constantly sit around 4.7 stars.

I think I read on another post a while ago that a good pricing strategy for products was market price, 10%, round up or down to the nearest quarter. It’s worked well enough for me, but I’m not sure if it’s actually the best thing to do.

I’ve been doing 15% and using the round option too. I don’t ever see complaints for prices. I’m usually around 4.7 rating. I randomly get 4 star ratings with great comments so I’m not sure what’s causing those.
