10% Tax
-
What’s the point of the 10% tax? Is there reason for it to exist?
-
To make it more difficult to flip cards and also to limit the inflation of the market. That's my assumption.

The inflation part is true, but the flipping cards really isn't. If there wasn't a tax, we wouldn't see much of a gap at all on any card.

Disagree. 15 had 5%. Margins were typically 500-800 stubs apart.

I don't know if comparing 15 really says all that much though, the game was way different. Especially with this year and how many people work the market.

You make a good point. I honestly haven't flipped since 18.
-
I appreciate all your responses. I just was curious if there was an all encompassing reason i was not aware of. Doesn’t sound as if there is, but it generally assumed to help control inflation and maybe the margins to an extent. I would thinks it to curtail flipping so players are forced to earn stubs through the game.

If you thought Trout/Cole/Arenado were inflated now, imagine if there weren't a 10% tax!
-
it's also keeps people from selling cards to each other which would be difficult anyways but guys could secretly pick a time to sell high cards to each other

Flipping cards in 18 was VERY profitable, especially fro equipment. All marketplaces in the world have fees its just a normal thing to be expected ... and i guess to make flipping less profitable overall.
Also it kinds of makes it not free to RENT players, ie. buy them, use for a bit then sell for what you paid...
