Greed is a funny thing

If I had extra copies I'd definitely be listing them for max.

I got a Crosley Field in a pack a few hours ago. Sold it I think for 14k.

Basic economics and supply and demand. Demand has gone up.
Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. The other day people were only willing to pay 1k. Now they're willing to pay 14k.
I may have wrote it wrong, or you may have read it wrong, what I meant was that there were orders where people were trying to sell a stadium for 14K and the highest Buy Order was 1,500.
I felt tempted to undercut the Sell Orders and list all my duplicates for 2K each.
There are many people who are willing to just buy now instead taking the time put in a buy order. So many people have so many stubs that it doesn't matter to them. There's really no reason to undercut it by that much. You could put in a sell order for 13k and it would probably be sold instantly. Its same thing for the BR silver and gold cards. Silver cards would have no buy orders in but sell orders in the 3,000 range.

Guess it's wrong for me to tell you that I QS the cards from the Silver and Gold BR Reward packs.

That's your prerogative. Doesn't bother anyone else. But I always list everything just a bit under the lowest buy price so I can make as much profit as possible. I wouldn't call it greedy, it's just called playing the game.

Ps: you can still pay 1.2-1.5k for them. Just put a buy order in with a slightly higher bid. That's also called playing the game. And basic economics. You can call it Greed, that's cool. It's why I have Trea Turner and got Griffey day 1 despite being an abysmal online player.
-
Like people said, supply and demand. All the cheap orders that were sitting there got snatched up
-
I understand all that. As for me QSing cards.
I have no use for stubs right now. I have every card I want, except for Turner, so there is no need to have a bunch of stubs that will just 'sit there'.
And I'm half tempted to cancel my Buy Order for Turner and call it a day. Going on 40 days and I'm still waiting.

So like I said, just QS, that's your choice, but if other don't, it's there choice and doesn't automaticallymake them greedy. I agree that some people have more stubs than they could ever spend and they got that way by doing exactly what you're describing. You have every card you want, but some people want every card in the game and there is a strategy to collecting everything which is what a lot of us are trying to do. It's not sensible sometimes, but it'spart of the game. I just got Harmon Killebrew for 1M and put a buy order in for Guidry for 1M despite having little interest in using the cards. I have every card now (except for Guidry and Alomar.....ahhhhhhhh f@c%$@^k )
But at this point if there are many other event rewards I'll need 1M to buy, I need to sell extras for a profit and flip cards because I'm under a million. soooooo....yeah to each his or her own.

I don't sell them anymore. I just have them sitting in my binder for the just in case scenario. So its not really any better.
