My MTGO trading story part 2

At that moment, I felt nothing attracting me to MTGO anymore except a tix, some 0.05 rares, a pack of Urza's Saga. Selling it for 4 tix or cracking it into another pile of useless cards seemed equally paltry for me. Like a grain of sand in  Mojave, I thought there was nothing for me to lose.

I crawled to my laptop browsing the classified for hours aimlessly, hopelessly.
