Instantly outbid by one stub. Bots?
-
There are a lot of instances where it’s human, but I have run into cases where it had to be bots. But since they had the ban wave I haven’t seen it. And I’m still buying cards in quantities of over 15 at a time. But that’s like my opinion man.
-
I think it’s mostly humans, if I’m trying to buy a card or sell a card I have to stay on it and refresh. If someone outbids me I know they doing the same thing and it becomes a battle of who can stay highest or lowest bit until it’s sold. A lot of the time there are multiple people on one card, especially on a freshly dropped card with a lot of activity. Always been like that, I’m not saying some people don’t use some bs bot tech but most people don’t. It’s a big player base
I do this when buying a card too. Once you get TA's done and packs dry up, stubs are really hard to come by.

@SaveFarris_PSN ....GOT EEEM!
-
@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN Yep. Exactly this.
-
@SaveFarris_PSN Um, no, but nice try.
I hope it makes you feel better about yourself. -
For what it's worth if the market feels active and I want a card badly enough I'll specifically undercut by 2 or 3 stubs instead of the "standard" 1 stub. I'm sure many others do the same. It often keeps me from putting an equal bid in at the same time as someone else.

If that happens to be repeatedly I just buy now, I need degrom to finish Jackie collection and this happened for like 5 mins. I just paid the 7k extra to be done with it
-
Lol it’s 100% bots and one of the easiest things to code.
-
@NotesOfJohn_PSN Sure there probably bots but there are also a lot of people buying and selling items at the same time so (for example) it is not that odd that your new sell orders gets underbid very quickly.

Man I’m trying to flip bronze cards rn why are margins god aweful. First year flipper btw so is it in anticipation of Friday’s collection or smt or due to yesterdays flash sale?
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN Because there’s no content, everyone blew their stubs during the flash sale, so everyone is trying to flip.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN ahh ok this makes sense I’ve never flipped till this year so I thought I’d come here to get a answer.
-
At least for me it’s been a terrible year for flipping. It’s hard to find many good spreads and anything remotely good looking is filled with people and or bots
-
@HuckTheFuskers3_XBL I’ve only been in bronze cards I don’t rly know or haven’t tried anything else.
