    Use more dots between thoughts to emphasize the importance of education so you don't grow to middle age and think this is a good way to start a debate. To prove you wrong I would have to care about you first. If you are anything like the Canadian who started the "prove me wrong" nonsense you maybe too childish to learn.

    You responded, you cared.

    While I was debating buying Bellinger & Betts for the Dodgers collection, I noticed when I went in and out of the buy screen the prices kept changing in a matter of minutes. Maybe that means nothing, but I still wonder how the Market is out of their hands when it's their game.
    Are 👽 from planet Uranus swooping in and pressing buttons to make Trouty close to 600K stubs? How does he stay above 500K?
    Did Kanamits parachute in and wire the system?
    I wish we had Leonard Nimoy from 'In search of' or Geraldo Rivera to open the SDS 'vault,' or Lt. Columbo to train his sons to catch everyone lying like he did, back in the day 🤣

    Have 12,000+ completed orders - 26 pages of sell now stuff going back a month and a half. Made like 50k today not even turning on the game. 🙂

    Okay well I lost three RS games in a row and made twice that.

    I don't want to go over 5 million this weekend .... I need to stash about 1 million into Mike Trout Cards at 250k tonight like George Jung in the movie Blow.

    0-0 Ranked record and every WR and BR card x2

    those 450k on trout are mine

    Haha ...yeah I saw a video of someone going over 5 million. Nope. Have to stash here and there.

    I lost a few million last year by cancelling buy orders on Billy Wagner without thinking about the cap.

    Market is absolutely manipulated by sds. Today I pulled a diamond sponsorship. Go to market and it is selling for 2500. An hour later it is down to 2100. And about 12 hours later it is down to 1300. Thanks for the diamond sds but did you really have to give so many others the exact same diamond on the same day?

    Hey man, give him a break, he wrote 1/2 of a claim.

    They recently added these to a collection. If the item was selling for 2500 it will likely go thru in 24 hours. As the day progresses and more people get on the margin thins.

    What a spaz. You think they actually give a * about some diamond sponsorship that goes for 2K? Wouldn’t they go after higher priced/profile player items? Some of you are hilarious

    Well then u explain it to me genius. If these cards were always this readily available why would the price be where I first saw it? Everybody had this one specific card the whole time and everyone randomly decided to sell the exact same day? And how am I a "spaz" for stating a simple fact. If it bothers u then maybe shut up and move along.

    And this is just one example. Obviously it could also happen to higher priced cards. So ur argument is this isn't possible because it's only a diamond sponsorship? Lol great analysis there sparky.

    This entire thread (except those of us with success flipping) is a WikiHow on how to say you don’t understand how the market works without saying you don’t know how the market works.

    The market manipulation they “participate” in is launch pack sales, or stub sales, when the market is slow. Which is just good business. Everything else you could accuse them of is just a preparedness course on making a tin foil hat.

    Selling is manipulated by players who are greedy, stupid or both.
    Or SDS. Hard to know either way.

    It would be good if SDS made sure the manipulators were in check. That would be good manipulation.

    And this comment my friends is why I keep reading the boards. If Columbo can’t figure it out it can’t be done.

    @eccentrictexas6_xbl said in Market manipulation:

    Let's go off last year's sales of around 2.5 million hard copies, and that is just hard copy numbers, not digital downloads on both platforms. That would mean that if only 10% percent of people were online at any given time, that there would be 250k people playing the game at once. And possibly playing the market as well, while they play. That's a lot of people.

    Let's assume, and I think it's a fair assumption, that those numbers have at least doubled with cross platform play. That would mean around 500k, at 10 % are online either playing or playing the market. Add into those numbers the playstation and xbox numbers for digital downloads and then add in the game coming to xbox, well, the numbers could be huge at any given time, especially when you factor in that it is a gamepass release.

    I think you have underestimated the sheer number of people using the market to begin with.

    Add in the app to play the market anywhere you go
