Why Buy Orders Under Quick Sell?
-
For all intents and purposes, playing DD for the first time, including trying to be smart about buy/ sell orders. Why do players place buy orders for less than quick-sell values? Are they just trying to trick someone into selling for under quick sell?

Those orders were placed when the card had a lower OVR. The system won’t let you place a bid lower than the QS price.

It's an investment strategy... if you place 50 buy orders on a bronze card before it gets upgraded to silver... your 50 buy orders will stay active and people will end up selling them. Not sure why SDS doesn't eliminate it... but it has always been like that. It's surprising to me how many players either don't grasp the buy/sell order part of the game or don't care they lose stubs every time they sell now. I can put a buy order for 8001 stubs on a card that QS for 8000 and will almost always get bought within seconds and the person selling is losing stubs because of tax. It amazes me how many people don't understand the market setup.

Sorry, not following. Can you explain? As I alluded to, first time really playing DD after many years as a franchise guy.

Sell Now gets taxed. I don't think Quick Sell does because it's sold at the card's preset value (the value SDS puts on the card).

The game allows your buy orders to remain active after roster updates. There are roster updates in DD, so if a player is doing well irl he can get his bronze card in DD upgraded to a silver and same silver to gold and gold to diamond. If you were looking to capitalize off that you would put a bunch of buy orders in on a card you think is getting upgraded. You can put buy orders for a bronze at the QS price (25 stubs) and if the player gets upgraded, your buy orders will stay active after the upgrade meaning every time after the upgrade you get somebody to sell one to you at bronze QS price you just turn around and sell as a silver card making you profit on that buy order because no matter what, the silver will at least QS for more than your bronze price buy order. You can also buy a whole bunch of bronze cards before the roster update and when it gets upgraded to silver... sell them all at a higher price than you paid. The roster updates in DD is a great way to make free stubs because if you have 50 bronze cards of a player and he gets upgraded to silver... your 50 bronze cards are now 50 silver cards and worth more stubs. There are also differences between the buy order prices and just selling a card normally on the market. Find these gaps and make profit. If a card has a sell now price of 480 stubs (somebody else's buy order) and is selling for 800 stubs you place a buy order for 480 and when you get somebody to sell now at 480... you turn around and sell it for 800 stubs and you make a 400 Stub profit from just buying it at buy order price. The gaps between sell now prices and selling normally is where people make profit off the market and what allows that profit is the players using sell now instead of selling it normally... ultimately selling cheaper than they should be. Capitalizing on these gaps is called flipping cards... it's why you see in the market a card might have 50 buy orders (sell now to the seller) and that is somebody that is planning to sell them all higher than they paid for them and make free stubs off the market gaps. Also the QS price on a card is tax free... so if a diamond card is QS for 8000 stubs and you sell now to a buy order for 8000 stubs, after tax you just lost 800 stubs to tax because you sold for 7200 stubs instead of just QS for 8000 stubs. I hope this helps... I'm not an expert, but this is my take on flipping and investing.

That's what I said... it amazes me that so many people will sell now for 8000 stubs and take home 7200 because of tax, when they could just QS and get 8000 stubs instead. Maybe the way I worded it was confusing, but I meant I can put in a buy order for 8000 stubs on a card that QS for 8000 stubs and it will always get sold to me for 8000 stubs and the person pays tax and actually gets 7200 stubs instead of 8000 from a straight QS of the card.
