Bots on market
-
@mandrykm_PSN I’m not saying there aren’t bots in the market place, but people will sit on expensive cards they are trying to buy and 1 up until they get the card. I do this all the time especially with the more expensive low volume cards. That’s probably what you are experiencing.

This wasn't people, this was 2 orders instantly at 1 stub over yours then an order 1 stub over that, refresh and it's another 2 orders and 1 order each 1 stub over and it repeated every 10 seconds or so, they were up from 27100 to over 29 k in about 5 minutes, I'm used to competing with ppl in the market, this wasn't that
-
@PAinPA_PSN yea understand same thing is happening with postseason Stanton right now
-
@PAinPA_PSN It could be multiple people trying to get the card doing the same thing. This is exactly what I do. 1 up an order. Constantly refresh until someone 1 ups me. 1 up them. Cancel my previous order and repeat. This can be done very quickly on the app. If multiple people are doing this, you get what you’re describing. I’ve experienced this many times for several years. Believe what you want, but this could absolutely be people and not bots.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I understand how the app and Market works but it's way too fast and the same person would have put in the same order two times. Its beening for a couple days now with the same cards
-
@mandrykm_PSN Why would it have to be the same person? Is it inconceivable that more than one person is trying to get a low volume card simultaneously?
-
@GoozeFn_PSN this same thing would happen for 2 straight days? Come on man lol
-
@mandrykm_PSN Low volume cards are highly competitive. Lots of people trying to get them and few selling them.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN lol ok go try it see how fast the BOT will out bid you on one of the cards and tell me it's a person... it dosnt take 2 or more days to outbid someone and get a card
-
@mandrykm_PSN You’re exaggerating. Give me a card to get and I’ll do it when I get off work and tell you exactly how long it takes. I’ve never spent more than 5 minutes getting a card I want with this strategy. You underestimate people.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN don't you have the app go get Stanton clearly using it right now at work lol
-
@mandrykm_PSN I’m working. I’ll get Stanton when I get off and let you know how long it takes.
-
@mandrykm_PSN I don't think their systems are able to do this correctly. They did a huge restriction, and accidentally restricted hundreds (or more) people who were doing nothing wrong.
You had to put in tickets, and they eventually got back to you (took like 4-5 days for me).It just seems that they aren't able to properly identify a bot vs. a human. I've seen the same stuff happening with the immediate and repeated undercuts that no human can possibly be doing.
-
Like yes people can be bidding up 1 always, but when an order is canceled and then 1-upped at the same time, that's when it looks suspcious.
Either way, those usually clear and you're able to get whatever card you need - even if annoying. -
I do that all the time on PlayStation - I don’t use the app to sell but when I want to sell something quick I’ll cancel and relist very quickly until it’s sold. Up to a certain threshold but I just want my cash money now hah.
I’m probably a person people hate cause I’ll drive it low until it’s sold, change from 1, to 50, to 100 etc
Usually to buy some other card I want
-
This is all just so stupid. Why do so many people assume it’s “bots” 1-upping bids? Like it’s impossible for a human to do that. I do it all the time and I’m just 1 dude. When there 100’s or even 1000’s of people looking at these cards at any given time, this bid activity can easily be human.
And if it was just bots bidding each other up 1 stub at a time, what would the bot owner be gaining? I have yet to not get a card I wanted by placing a normal bid that was like 10 stubs above/below the low/high bid. -
@tear4eddy_PSN
Yeah that’s kind of what I was getting at.Now granted - some of the “bots” could’ve been putting in a bunch of instant 1 less/more bids but I’m like you, if I want to sell or buy something quick I’m on there trying to getter done.
Now multiply that by population playing. High chances it’s not a bot.
