Classified

The best way to attract customers is to post great messages in the Classified and Trading rooms. MTGO Library bot does this automatically. Indeed the content of the messages is up to you, and it heavily impacts the number of contacts your shop has.

I would like to discuss the many commands ML Bot offers to enrich messages by automatically replacing cards and prices. Such commands are the key to attract people to your shop rather than another one, thus I suggest to spend a bit of time experimenting with them.

The basic commands are #buy# and #sell#, that respectively replace with an item the bot “will buy” and an item the bot “sells”. You can specify sets as well, for example: #buy_ZEN# or #sell_M10#. You can even specify rarities (C/U/R/M): #buy_ZEN_R#, #sell_M10_U#, #sell_R# or #buy_C#. 

All these “sub-commands” are commutative in order: in a nutshell #sell_M10_U# will work exactly as #M10_U_sell# or #U_sell_M10#.

There are a couple of more specific commands, namely #pp# and #CFA#. #pp# forces the item to be replaces with an item in PersonalPrices.txt. For example #sell_M10_pp# will replace with a M10 cards the bot sells but taken from PersonalPrices.txt! This is great to advertise the cards your bot best handles. #CFA# is similar: it replaces with an item defined in “CardsForAdvertisement.txt”, where CardsForAdvertisement.txt is a simple text file listing a series cards.

Please take a look at the manual to learn more about these commands - since these can improve your business a lot. For any question, feel free to write me at staff@mtgolibrary.com or albert@mtgolibrary.com.
