This first amount that I made today wasn't actually a trade.  Someone decided to play me for cards and after a few games, I had not lost anything, and had gained

Gorz, the Emissary of Darkness (Black Rare) $2
Elemental HERO Gaia Super $1 x3
Compulsory Evacuation Device Common $1 x3
Total: +$8
 
Now, though, I'll get to the actual trades.  As stated previously, I won't have as many due to the lack of local attendence my part, but here's what I got:

My:
Trance Archfiend $1 ($1) x3

Their:
Evigishki Gustkraken $3 ($5)

Net: +$0 (+$2)

There isn't much to say about this other than people will undervalue Hidden Arsenal secret rares pretty low at the release.  Know which ones are good beforehand and you can get little deals like this.
 
My
Tragoedia Ultra $8 ($7)
Queen Dragun Djinn $7 ($6)
Black Ray Lancer $4 ($3)
Total: $19 ($16)

Their
Genex Ally Birdman $3 ($5) x2
Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon $2 ($5)
Rekindling Playset $10 ($9)
Total: $18 ($24)

Net: +$1 (+$8)

This is one of those where being able to speculate is fantastic, because I assume that Lavals will make the Rekindlings fantastic later on.  I also would like for readers to take note of the Gadjiltron in this trade.  Most people don't realize how much this card has been driven up by the casual crowd.  It's huge in OTK decks and Malefics but only has one printing that is pretty hard to find.
 
My
charge of the Light Brigade super $4 ($2)
Chain Disappearance $6 ($7) x2
Super Polymerization Rare $7 ($7)
Total: $23 ($23)

Their
Gladiator Beast Murmillo Secret $0.50 ($1)
Gladiator Beast Bestiari Secret $1 ($2)
Gladiator Beast Retiari Secret* $5 ($7)
Gladiator Beast Heraklinos Super $1 ($1)
Elemental Hero Prisma Gold $3 ($5)
Monster Reborn Parallel Rare $13 ($15)
Total: $23.50 ($31)
 
Net: +$0.50 (+$8)

There isn't that much to see here other than me deciding to try and pick up some Gladiator Beast stuff.  Generally if you have the whole deck foiled out you can move it at a lump price, after picking up all of the pieces for relatively cheap.  The reborn goes back to my first article about the ease of up-trading shiny staples.  Lastly, before everyone jumps down my throat for losing value on the Chain Disappearances, please note that it was recently spoiled as a reprint in the Legendary Collection for this year.  I was honestly just desperate to move them, seeing as the most expensive card out of the most recent Legendary Collection is roughly $7. 
 
 
I ended up selling a card to a player, so I'll start documenting the amount of money I have in my "Yu-Gi-Oh! Fund".
 
 
My
Elemental Hero Gaia Super $1 ($1)
 
Their
$1 Cash
 
Net: +0
  
Interesting thing to take note, if you can sell something of yours for anything near retail value, DO IT.  Cash is king when trading, and generally you can buy the same card back later for about half of what it is actually worth.  Selling cards for retail value is a great feeling.
 
 
Total Net: +$9.50 (+$26)
 
 
 
Overall it was a pretty slow week, but, as stated previously, I was out of town traveling for Magic both Saturday and Sunday.  Please let me know if you'd like to see smaller articles like this in the future, or if you would rather me wait a week and try to have a bigger article out there.  Even if you ahve ideas that aren't related to trading and want some deckbuilding advice, feel free to get in touch!
