eroding margins in the Market
-
All I can say is that if someone has very limited time to play daily (1-2 hours), I’m sure they don’t want to spend half of it nickel and dimming 4-5 guys who undercut each other by 1-5 measly stubs. They want to post the card, sell it and actually play baseball as opposed to make believe NYSE

you do know you can do exactly what you said, post the card and play. Go play a moment or something and the card is most likely sold. Im not saying everyone has to do this but I think there's a gross misunderstanding of how long cards move especially with so many new players. you can list like 5-6 cards and make thousands in the matter of like 10 minutes. The problem is people think you have to sit there and post order after order only moving the order 1 stub at a time. You dont have to do this to make stubs but do whatever makes you happy

There’s an influx of cards right now because of the bundle SDS just gave out. You’ll just have to wait until it levels out again.
No i get that, I just dont understand why anyone would see a listing for 50k and then decide to list theirs for 43k. doesnt make sense
Some people just don't care about 5k here and 3k there. Just post your card, get your stubs in 2 minutes and move on. Never understood why people care what others do in an open market... my impatience is another person's gain. I will always post my cards the cheapest available... just to get it done, I don't care about scrounging up every stub I can... I don't stress about stubs whatsoever.... if I run out, I buy more.
Have you not read the thread whatsoever? I have said multiple times I'm not trying to regulate how people work the market and I have no problem with it. It just didnt make sense to me and I wanted more context in case there was something going on in the market.
I read the thread and added my input as to why you see it. Not sure why your being combative about it... but anyways enjoy the rest of your day cupcake.

I'll do this occasionally to get the sale, dip down 1-2k

Some are doing it because the sell now is broken, so they use the sell now number to place the card on the buy now side from the pack. I’ve done it a few times

Remember that a huge number of people are flipping so a lot of the time you are just selling to other flippers. Volume>>>>>Margin. You might get a better price but another guy just sold 5 while you waited.
This is big too.. Volume, you need volume. I got into a little spiff with a streamer not too long ago who insisted people were breaking the market by doing stupid things... I tried to explain, to no avail, that those mistakes actually created the market. He was pointing out these bigs gaps on cards also and I tried again, unsuccessfully to explain that sometimes those big gaps you see are on cards that don't move, no volume... whats the point in making 20k if in that amount of time you could have made 40 by flipping cards that move...
This is what I finally understood this year. I came here from madden where it's less about volume and more about the profit per card flipping.
This year I figured it out that MLB was about volume mostly. Esp early on. I mean sure there cN be good profit flips but I completed the LS collection last night with 900K in the bank (gotucky and pulled trout and cole) mostly on the back of 200-600 profit flips in massive volume.
Previous years I treated it like madden which didn't work and I'd get frustrated and stop trying. Glad I put in some time to figure it out this year.
Now I can expand beyond flipping into short-term and long-term investments that I hope will pay off.
