Quick facts:Workbench
Workbench is a special buyable item in TCG Card Shop Simulator that allows players to bundle junk cards into bulk boxes for sale. Although it is not used as a merchandise display stand, the Workbench enables players to make a profit from low-value cards that would otherwise take up space in the inventory.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Workbench is unlocked at level 10 and costs $1,000. It provides a way to bundle and sell unwanted cards as bulk boxes, helping players clear out their inventory and earn additional income. Bulk boxes are created quickly, taking approximately 5 seconds per bundle, but they sell relatively slowly. Despite the slow sales, bulk boxes are currently the only available method to profit from low-value cards that are not worth selling individually on a card table.
Creating a Bulk Card Bundle[edit | edit source]
To create a bulk card bundle at the Workbench, players must follow several steps:
- **Choose the Card Expansion**: Players select the card expansion to bundle, such as Tetramon Base, Tetramon Destiny, or Tetramon Ghost. It is uncommon to have enough low-value Ghost cards to create a bundle.
- **Select a Rarity**: Players can bundle cards by rarity, choosing from Any, Common, Rare, Epic, or Legendary. The "Any" option is often used to remove low-value cards regardless of rarity.
- **Set a Price Range**: Players select a minimum and maximum price range. Cards with values within the inclusive minimum and exclusive maximum will be eligible for bundling.
- **Set Minimum Card to Retain**: Players can choose to retain a specific number of each card. Currently, this option is used to keep a single copy of each card for collection purposes. Future updates may allow keeping multiple copies for trading or deck-building.
Bulk Box Types and Profit Margins[edit | edit source]
The value of the bulk card bundle created depends on the least valuable card in the bundle, as shown in the table below. Profit margins vary from approximately 11% for White Base boxes to 110% for Red Destiny boxes, based on player experiences.
