Market Laundering
-
There are all sorts of shenanigans if you watch the market. The only thing I cannot explain is someone placing 100s of orders at once, deleting, and replacing.

Ya’ll gonna get Marty Byrde banned!

So you see some sort of transaction going on try to scam your way into it was unsuccessful now you’re here mad and telling on someone else? lol hilarious
-
@Xmas-Reeper_PSN no I really had no intention of trying to make stubs from it, I make plenty of stubs just flipping regularly throughout the day. I said previously I saw what was going on and tried to interfere to get guy to stop and figured if I pestered him enough he’d move on to something else. One flip to net 20k stubs isn’t something I would get on here to complain about lol I have plenty of stubs. Just wanted to hear thoughts of other people seeing it go on. I remember in ‘21 or maybe ‘22 it used to be a big problem and I didn’t play ‘23 or ‘24 because of the seasons so coming back this year and seeing it still go on was kinda surprising.
-
So it’s cool that you “flip” on a small scale but when someone figures out a way to do it on a larger scale you mad and then tell?
-
@Xmas-Reeper_PSN Did you lick a lot of windows growing up?
-
@theBlindRhino_PSN if that’s what sys called it lol
-
@Xmas-Reeper_PSN OP is describing stub transfers. This is how people get their stubs from buying from third parties. The only people flipping are the ones that had legit bids to buy and sell go through in order for the transfers to be made.

So how does this " market laundering " work. ? Asking for a friend
-
@jaychvz_XBL I wouldn't even get involved with it because it will get you banned if and when you get caught. But let's pretend I flipped cards all year and had all collections done and wanted to "gift you" a million stubs. I would look for a card that doesn't have a lot of bids on either side and had the ability to set a price of say over 100k. I would tell you to put in minimum buy bids for quick sell, I would then buy up all the sell now bids and sell them to the low buy bids. Then I would tell you to list for 100k and I would buy them from you until you had your million stubs. There would be some other who would benefit but in this scenario stubs don't mean anything to me.
One way to gauge how prevalent this is start listing at least one of your duplicates for everything for the max prices and see how often they get fulfilled.

@jordanator219_XBL i see it everyday. Icons, audio, sponsorhips. Its the people that resell stubs. These people never seem to be banned.

They get banned but it's like a burner phone, they just have other accounts ready to go.

You figure in this day and age that it can be stopped.
