Flipadelphia Day 31: What You Can Get For $10 in the Splinterlands Marketplace

With $10 and access to the Splinterlands Marketplace, anything can happen.

None of this article is financial/investment/legal advice, it contains a strategic valuation analysis of speculative assets that can be subject to market fluctuations. You are suggested to seek out a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) for all investments and the author is not an RIA. Splinterlands' Terms of Service identifies Splinterlands/Steem Monsters as not being an Investment Company. As defined by the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Steem Monsters (the parent company of Splinterlands) and the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) that was published by Steem Monsters can be argued to rise to the definition of being classified as Financial Institutions in the United States. This is a duty to warn and inform given that the actions to be described regard the valuation of assets and speculation of events to take place.

The article title is a little bit deceptive, but technically, under $10 was spent thanks to the cash back from MonsterMarket. In the previous article, three paths with purchases were explained and the path chosen was to purchase 4 cards and the amount spent was under $10 with rebate. This leaves $1.32 behind, but there was nothing under $1.32 worth flipping at this time. Let's examine the purchases made and the reasoning behind it.

It was $10.14 combined pre-rebate, and then $9.84 after the 3% cash back from MonsterMarket. It's exciting to see different cards being purchased and put up for sale or rent in this portfolio. The possibilities are endless and this was a day and night for the Rare Gold Foil cards.

Quick update as to how things look right now in the overall card portfolio holdings.

Level 2 Gold Foil Suidae Shaman

This card came in at a discount of 13.9% as there was a gap between the lowest and second-lowest price. This card was gobbled up quickly at $2.45 and it offers quite a bit of upside.

Suidae Shaman will hit resistance at around $2.95, but if it clears that price, the next resistance point is roughly $3.40 and then a tougher resistance point follows. The sales price will be set before the second point of resistance, which will generate a profit in the desirable range.

Level 2 Gold Foil Mycelic Infantry

At $1.877, this was a bargain price. It was not an outrageous price, but considering post-Soulbound Rewards conditions and the Chaos Legion Farewell Tour, this was a great price.

Yes, there's a minor resistance point on the upswing, but get through that and there's a path to a healthy profit. No need to count on a pump to get this above $3, the desired profit can be had before reaching the second resistance point.

Level 2 Gold Foil Celestial Harpy

This is a situation where the card has a weak minor resistance point, a stronger minor resistance point, and major resistance point.

$2.07 is a solid price to get in because comes in at a support point. Can a 25% to 50% profit be had? Absolutely.

Level 2 Gold Foil Cursed Windeku

This is sort of a no-brainer to buy. This is a card that has been a coveted purchase for a while, the only downside with this card are the leveled up cards at lower per BCX prices. However, this card was a bargain at $3.75 and bounced off a support zone as well.

There's a situation that is just like the Celestial Harpy. The price to sell is just before the major resistance point. It will assure a nice return and not be reliant on any pumps. However, the last two times the price fell into this area, the price would jump above $6, but history is never assured to repeat like that.
