What is the most efficient way to do this? (Maybe Pucatrade?)

So recently I started using Magic Online and I LOVE IT. It's got its downsides, but the upsides for be outweigh the downsides by a lot. So here is my issue:
I have a small-to-moderate collection in physical cards that I won't be using (still keeping a deck or two, but that's it), and I want to get the most out of them to get more cards online. The issue is that I don't want to sell it all bulk for 30% of it's value, but I don't know if there is a site that let's me trade only physical cards for only virtual cards. I was looking on Pucatrade, but I couldn't find this type of feature (tbh, I didn't look that hard though).
So is there even a way I can move my investment from physical cards to virtual cards without losing a ton of money? Thanks!

As far as I know, there really isn't much you can do. Maybe put a forum post somewhere stating that you'll give someone your physical cards in exchange for them buying you cards on MTGO? I'm not sure.

As far as I know, Pucatrade is planning on implementing a program like what you said, but I don't believe it's been released yet. So you can wait, or simply sell your cards and buy tix with the money

For max gain I would say post locally and do cash for collection at a slightly discounted price.
Online trading via puca etc, you have to factor in shipping costs which is a potential unknown depending on the size/weight/destination of each individual trade.

If you want to do it quickly and easily I would suggest looking at CapeFearGames buy list, as you can get store credit for their magic online storefront (MTGOTraders).
You can also use a PayPal coupon when at checkout for your online order (even when using store credit) that takes off like another 5%. So you end up getting near close to retail.

If you have a debit card, you can set up a PayPal and a TCGplayer storefront in 15 minutes tops. There you can put up any cards you want to sell at the price you want, and when they're bought, all you have to do is ship them and the money gets deposited directly. Pretty much it's the best way to move a moderate sized collection in a month or two.
