Auction House Is Kind Of A Scam IMO
-
He's calling the market an auction house. Clearly he is new and needs advice on how to buy amd sell cards.
-
Its not an auction house. Its a market. DO NOT USE THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE UPON OPENING A PACK. Access the market via the menu screen. You will be able to place an order for any price you want (within certain parameters).

My friend KT buys a lot of packs on his credit card. He is a new x box player like myself. He told me I just “sell now” or “quick sell” all the cards to get stubs? He wants to get a trout pretty bad but it’s taking forever cause every pack he buys he only gets like 1,000 stubs tops out of if he’s lucky. They aren’t cheap also.
Well your friend is an idiot lol and has no idea how the game works, just watch a simple youtube video on how the market works

oh jesus.... do i dare ask how much your friend has spent on packs? yall literally just need to play the game.. and put sell orders in for something close to the 'buy now' price... actually you just need to look up some youtube videos on how it works... i feel bad ya'll have went this long and dont already know it... unless your're just trolling us.. yeah maybe thats it

His dad left his credit card on his x box to pay for the recurring payments. I’m not sure he’s seen the bill yet or not. KT has bought the 150,000 stubs for $100 3 times so far. Then to maximize he buys the 50 card packs for 75,000 stubs. So he’s opened like 300 packs and still no trout and little to show for it. Kinda dumb IMO he’s that hard to get.

He's not hard to get. I bought six Trouts on accident.

Do you guys ever get angry that if you pull a card out of a pack your only offered a low quick sell value or a “sell now” value? Sometimes when I “sell now” it’s higher by a small amount or can be a lot higher if it’s a good card.
But then when I want to go buy that card off the auction block I have to pay more? Sometimes it’s like 1,000 stubs more or it can be even 10-20,000 stubs more if it’s a high rated card.
Not sure how the PlayStation players have tolerated this for years? I just don’t think it’s very fair.
Those are just your easy sell options if you wanna do it right from the pack opening screen. Quick sell is the base value and the sell now option is the current highest buy order that someone who is looking to purchase that card posted. You can always go to the market place and list it for the same prices you see others listing it for.

Your friend isn’t very smart. If there’s a fork in the road and he goes left, you should go right.

So he’s been giving me bad advice?

Yes but I’m sure it’s not intentional. He most likely doesn’t understand the market or that he can go list the cards for more stubs.

Horrible advice, never quick sell, if you use the market you can get so many stubs. At this point your friend could have just gotten Trout from the market or come close at least.

Actually OP already admitted that his friend bought 450k stubs using Daddy's credit card. Trout currently costs 425k.

Haha i know because i just pulled him for the first time. Talk about irony

Don't sell from the packs.
Go to the tab that says Shop, then go to marketplace and then MLB players.
For players you want to sell click on the card and hit 'place sell order' and list the card for a stub less than the lowest buy order to maximize what you get.
On the flip side for cards you want to buy click on the card and hit 'place buy order' and place an order for a stub higher than the highest sell price.
The options you get when you open packs are just the quick easy options that will give you the least amount of stubs. -
Please make sure you keep us updated on KT's condition once his dad finds out.

I’ll let you guys know when his pops drops the hammer on him for sure.

I haven't played in a couple of years but I remember that there was a place on The Show Nation where you can access the market. Can anyone direct me to that site/link? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

Agreed, one of the most asinine observations I've come across.
Sell now is useful if a diamond is selling around 5K -- you won't lose the 10% in taxes.
