How to Get More Money Fast in TCG Card Shop Simulator

The fastest way to earn money is to do a combination of profitable methods for the whole day. Since you have the ability to have multiple sources of income, you need to capitalize on all of them to make as much money as possible.

Opening packs for profit

One of the most underrated ways to make money is opening packs. You might think that you are losing money at times, but it is always a profit when you are dealing with high variances of numbers. As long as you are opening packs and selling the valuable ones ($4 and above), you should be making a profit from opening packs. When you unlock the workbench, you can even turn cards that are $1 or below into bulk boxes and sell them for money. The best packs to open are always the latest set you can unlock at your current shop level. They give you more chances to find valuable cards in less time.

Buy play tables and run events with fees

Another great source of income is to have multiple play tables where customers can play and run events. Use your phone and click the events app. You’ll see multiple events to run, as seen in the image above. Run the most expensive game format and make sure you have eight or more play tables to capitalize on the market fee per hour.

You should make around $1,000+ a day running the Holo Heaven game format. Apart from the customers playing the card game, these customers might also buy products from your store after playing. This means that if they are customers playing after store hours, you can still wait until they stop playing because they might buy some products. Some of these customers even buy products worth $400 just because they lost their game, which is a nice touch by developers.

Learning how to price products

Since the essence of the game is selling products, you want to sell as many products as possible to earn the most money. However, you can also tweak the prices to earn a little more. If you increase the price too much, they often won’t sell as often. There are only two strategies here. Sell everything, including single cards, at $0.01 below the market price or with a 10% markup.

The former sounds too tedious since the market price may change in a day. It depends on how much you want to micromanage the shop. The lazy way is to just put a 10% markup on everything so that even if the prices change, you are still close to the market price. If you are strapped for cash, you can sell your expensive cards at market price or a little less to get some quick money.
