u'd be better off buying a cheap, 20 $one.. and interfacing it.

a magstrip card (short for magnetic stripe card) is just a card like credit card or debit or hotel room key with a magnetic stripe on the back which stores data.
Now i know that im gonna have to buy some parts like a TTL magstripe reader but i dont wanna go out and buy one thats already put together cuz thats not the point. Anyone that has some knowledge on this and would like to share it i will appreciate it.

You could make your own simple reader with a old mono tape head, see that : http://www.metacafe.com/watch/951581/reader_for_magstripe_cards/
and : **broken link removed**

It should work but my reader never worked.
For writing on the card, you could use an old audio head but you will need to glue audio tape on the card.
