PLEASE stop driving down the cost of cards

95% of the community doesn’t care about flipping or making profits. They just want to sell the card
@the_dragon1912 That's an interesting point - just so I understand, why bother selling the card if they don't care about the profit? Is it just the instant stubs are good enough?
I've been playing for years (and years...) and got back into this during COVID for the nostalgia. Now I'm addicted to DD which I never did before 2020. I guess I don't understand the mechanics of all this outside of the market place.

I will be spending the day with my huge amount of duplicates selling them for as low as possible because I already got 2.4 million stubs and I fell like giving back to the community instead of pinching every stub.

That actually makes sense. I'll turn as many as I can in for exchanges. Not sure if it's the right strategy, but it seems to work (?)

Really? Lol if I listened to you then there’s no way I’d be sitting where I am now. Started around 850k Wednesday night, now I’m close to 1.3 m. With this stub sale, there was no way I was sitting back and relaxing

Because a lot of us don’t play MLB The Market. And if you outbid by just one, then 16 more a-hole flippers outbid eachother by one and your card sits there until you cancel all your bids and start over. F’ that, under cut to begin with.
That makes sense too. What I find though is that this happens:
Player
35,000
34999
34998
34995
34800
31000
29999
29998
29997So even if you undercut, you still get undercut too. Now the price is 5k less in 10 minutes. So in theory, you are still in the same place in line for the card so why not get more stubs?
Again, all these comments make sense in their own way and I am DEFINITELY not telling anyone what to do. I just was curious as to why it was done. Lot of great reasons given so far. Great community - bonded by baseball.

Market is what market does. It's all about what each player values each card to be worth.
-
It’s not so much about quality as to quantity. You wanna move as much as possible as quick as possible.
-
Because I want to sell the card, not babysit it. If everyone else moves their bid down with me then that's what the card is worth.

The market gets destroyed when people are outbidding each other by a stub or five, but then someone comes in and bids $1k's less and ruins the profit for everyone. The system is computer generated - as long as you are lowest bid you win anyway. Why lose all those stubs?
No hate, it's just frustrating. Let's have a great day.
More people need to see this

Why drop the sale 1 stub, 5 stub when you could get under bid, have to redo it when you can drop it by hundreds or a thousand and get a quick sale. I do it all the time with my packs when I get a gold or diamond.....just simple economics
