Profit on Selling Game Cards??

Im struggleing to find how people make profit selling game cards :/

30day 1 costs me $7/8 dollas from my store,

$8 = 14.54M (working at 0.55 per m rate)?

:S confused too why some1 would sell a game card and only make 1m/2m because thats only $1

 

They do it more for the vouches, to gain some trust on the forums.

 

Uhh :/ never mind then lol, mm wonder if i can land a wholesale deal with runescape on there gamecards haha ;P

 

The only way you can profit is if you buy them from users at a smaller rate and sell them at a higher rate. Unfortunately, roughly 1/20 codes don't work, so you lose 15m for instance, and if you're only making 3m average per code, that's 15/60m gone. I make roughly 5m a card, so it'd be 15/100m gone, which sucks.

 

Ohh right I see. So people sell them for a loss just for vouches etc?... I'm going to give Jagex a ring tomorrow when im in the office and ask about becomeing a supplier of the game cards .. I mean surely cant be that hard landing a deal

 

It's best to buy the cards with actual money then selling them here for a reasonable price. At first sell them at a cheaper price to gain vouches, then raise the price so you can make a bit of profit

 

There are surely other better ways to earn vouches (Skilling services etc)

Just weird.

 

Wait, you do realise they only have like huge stores as re-sellers. They'd ask where you're selling them, and the internet would be a big no-no. It's like iTunes vouches, you get near to no profit from them, think you make $1/card if you're a big store.

 

some countries that have pay by sms are only like 6$ to activate if your selling for 14-16m thats good prfit

 

Ohhh, in the UK its like £4.95 per 1 month, i think thats like 7-8usd and working at 0.55per mill rate thats 14.54mill just to break even, but too make profit selling at 18m per upgrade thats only $2 proffit :/

Spose it all adds up though

 

Profit is a profit. People must start from something, you can't start buisness and make huge profits.

 

Agree'd, Tbh might start doing this, Donate 100/200USD to sythe to be "deemed" trusted, so no fussing about with MM / OMM (obvoisuly dont scam) Do the orders in spare time, 10orders a day is $20usd.. in a month thats $600, (even though thats classed as a small order in my formed company ) even still $600usd in RSGP profit not bad lol

 

If you're a rich bum, then you can buy the cards with no worry of losing money to gain vouches haha.

 

Less trust involved to upgrade than have access to an account for a large amount of time =p

 

Probably not. Keep in mind skilling takes a lot of time even if you're botting. Upgrades are quick.

 

Also remember gold isn't at .55 anymore. I bought 405M for $170 from a HIGHLY trusted user, so that's like 0.4

Pretty much, unless you can find suppliers you're not going to make a lot of cash.

 

Actually, you can make quite a decent profit - (not right now, because of the low gp prices.) But when GP was 0.5-0.7, you could make alot of money.

In my experience, I could get and serve(if I wanted to) 4 customers per hour. Sometimes, customers buy 2-3 upgrades. So lets just say that from your 4 customers, you sell 7 upgrades. (One guy buys 3 monther, one guy buys 2, and two guys buy 1.) Well, if you bought these upgrades at Gamestop, the price would be exactly $7.95. So, sell the upgrades @16m each. @0.6/M, thats approximately $9.6 / Upgrade. Let's round that down to $9.5.

Potentially, as a trusted user, you could be making 7x$1.5 per hour. Or around $10-$11.

Obviously, there are variables like time wasters / bulk buyers etc. But this is a rough estimate of the potential income one could expect.

 

Well what im doing im buying codes from a clan member who is fairly reputable for 9m and selling them for 15m thats 6m profit per card he can buy 15 per day do the math thats pretty good profit

 

the average user can't get .6/M for gold its more like .40/M

 

True.

I did say that you could potentially make alot of money when the GP prices were 0.5-0.7, like they were a year ago. It's still possible to turn decent profits, but you would have to sell upgrades @ around 20m+ each, which is hard because of all the people who sell @7-13m.
