dont wanna junk them...

Postby Coffin-Breathe » Fri Jan 03, 2020 9:04 am

Since some players (including me) are a little bit annoyed, that many "card farmers" simply prefer to junk all cards they don´t need or without a standing bid, and since it´s very timeconsuming and complicated (if you´re collecting, let´s say, motives) to search on the list, I´ve decided to start this topic (because someone has to and, of course, because I´m running out of space) for everyone willing to sell (make space) without unnecessarily junking.
So please have a look at those "cards for sale", maybe someone could use the one or another.
The prices usually are .03 for commons, .07 for uncommons, .15 for rares and .25 for ultra-rares, but are negotiable; simply place your bid (above junk value). This offer will stand for a week or so, then they´re gone (at least a whole bunch of them).

I definitely hope, that some others will offer in here the same way before simply junking their cards.

btw, there´s another topic where I´m looking for griffins I don´t already have...

Thank you all

For what it's worth, all money in this game is created solely by junking cards.

I'm a card farmer and I junk most commons, uncommons, and rares that I don't like or can't make money from. That means most cards which are the blurry default ones. I would run out of space way too fast if I kept every one of those cards. I also don't see why it's worth the time or inventory space to list those cards that no one wants.

It's quicker and easier for us farmers to junk rather than selling

it is Certainly quicker junk cards that have no bid, its probably because no one is buying them.
however, people might want to pay more attention, since multiple commons and uncommons, like mine, have bids of them and are still junked.

this is unfair treatment of precious artwork. this is a scandal.

Personally, when I farm, I'll only sell the card if someone is bidding higher than junk price... selling an uncommon for 0.05 is a waste of my time. 0.06, however, gives me actual profit and so I'll happily sell.

Of note: I for one have 0.01 bids out on every card I want to buy, and I check them regularly for people wanting to sell. I don't have enough money to bid a reasonable amount on each one, so I just buy them as they come up for sale... This does mean I'll miss a few copies here and there where someone pulls the card and doesn't want to sell for 0.01 so they junk instead, but that's a price I'll pay. And if someone pulls it, sees my bid and asks a reasonable price for it I'll raise my bid next time I see it.

Maybe that´s not the worst idea, because I`m running out of space too, and simply hate to junk.
Conditions are almost the same.

Not only this, it´s also against the spirit of the game and collecting. Which, I obviously have to remind some "players", is meant for all players, not for "the farmers", and since junking without even considering an offer on the open market depletes this market of cards, which though not illegal, but against the intention of this "card game", I´d say.

Junking is not against the spirit of the game... It's the single source of all the cash that goes around in the game. No cash, no collecting.

Even on a 'moral' basis you'll find most nations behind the cards are puppets or inactives, so you are not really casting a judgement by junking them.

You seem to imply that players are somehow able to junk other people's cards, rather than creating cards and destroying them again in the course of a few seconds. Otherwise how does it deplete the market?

If someone wants a card, they can put a bid on it and pick up a sale usually within a few days.

As a courtesy, because the new season started, I listed all my commons that I didn't want at junk price in case the nation wanted them. I think 2 got bought, at this point I'm going to resume junking like usual.

I guess, what the OP does mean is, that not every player does know, which cards he/she wants and therefore doesn´t set bids on such cards; and since there is no way to know for such players to somehow browse a list of cards available for buying (because there is no such list), and moreso someone cant search for motives on cards or the like via the existing ways other than randomly browsing other players cards, which is not also very time-consuming and almost ineffective, many cards dont even show up on the market (because no bid or ask, usually no trade), although the market often is the only way to get knowledge of the existence of a specific card of interest for many players.
Therefore imo a thread like this one is a good idea,because first not everyone willing to offer unspecific cards before junking without spamming the card-forum with useless own threads, and second as a way for players willing to buy or bid on unspecific cards to get to know of their existence other than simply having to wait if such cards might show up sometimes on the market in someone others trade eventually.

What are the odds that three people with the same writing style who all use back-ticks instead of apostrophes appear in the same topic, and all have the same ideological stance of "I'd rather buy my meat at the supermarket where no animals were harmed" ?

"You shouldn't junk cards for bank, you should sell them at junk value for bank that came from someone else" :lol:

Tell me, wise guy, what are the odds that some of these people do know each other, dont use English as their native language, but have a style of writing like it´s taught in the same school and posess a keyboard made for a different language ?
And even do trades with each other, are vegetarian and prefer groceries above supermarkets, live in the same region but are no puppets ?
I´d say, not to bad at all, given the ammount of NS-users.

Thank you all

Don't we, each and every one of us, owns the card we spawn in our nations, be them puppets, mains, card farms, or whatever? And aren't we all free to act in rational ways to the better benefit of ourselves? I mean, being annoyed by what other players do with their property seems out of place...

Want cards? Bid on them.

I want to get rid of a lot of People's Republic of China flag cards I collected last month. [link]

If you put in a bid lower than I am asking before the end of this weekend, I will sell for what you offer tomorrow night.


Thank you. Everything is auctioned now. :)
