I've been getting some questions regarding whether or not it's actually possible to earn anything by renting out cards, so I threw together a quick little infographic containing my outgoing rentals for Saturday 8/28/2021. These results aren't anything spectacular, but they're consistent, they pretty much run themselves and they add up rather quickly over time.
Daily maintenance is pretty simple. In the morning, I check my rentals to see if anything's not being rented out and if it's not, I'll take a look at competing rentals to see if there was a major change in price or a massive influx of cards that's blocking me. Usually, that's not the case and the reality is that the rental recently finished so it hadn't had enough time to be rented again. Sometimes I'll drop the price to force the rental, but most of the time I'll give it an hour or so and then if it hasn't moved, I'll reconsider the price. I usually check them again late in the day and again late at night, but that's really about it. The checks only take me a few minutes each time so I don't feel overly burdened doing them.
I originally intended to post this article yesterday, but life came up so it's coming out today. It's worth noting that my rentals have increased since I've started writing this. This was mainly due to adding a few new cards, but also because there was an increase in some card prices as well.
Have you dipped your toes in the rental business yet? If not, what's stopping you?? Let me know in the comments below!
