Buying stubs off of third party websites
-
Yea i see alot of players get banned from doing this yet streamers never get punished for promoting these sites, the fact that my account would be put in jeopardy tells me not to do this. i just wished sds had better stub packages.

I'm think I'm pretty well known by now as a critic of SDS. On this issue though, I think every last one of these so-called third party sites should be removed and the object of lawsuits filed by SDS. They are engaging in illegal commerce, grafting themselves onto copyright protected commercial activities created by SDS and using them illegally to obtain hard currency in exchange for virtual trinkets.
All my criticisms of this ridiculous hyper-inflated virtual market system are magnified. You see, for all my criticisms of SDS doing it, at least SDS has the legal right to do it. These third party jokers are criminals.
Last point, make no mistake, any enterprise willing to break the law in this matter won't have any restraints in terms of ferreting out personal information from those who use their "services" and then use that personal information for all sorts of illegal efforts. Such people are generally deeply embedded with folks who engage in cyber crimes, such as identity theft, spear phishing, and extortion.
SDS banning people who use these sites is the least of the risks people face.

I mean I’m Canadian and 150,000 stubs is 153$ after tax it’s nuts.
-
I have holding to a PS gift card my son got me for Father's Day. I wanted to use the card on a big stub sale but math just ain't mathin' even with the sale. Not much bang for the buck, I guess it's like everything else right now, hyper inflated.
-
Way too risky.
Mind you, I find the idea of buying stubs, be it legitimately or otherwise, completely asinine. -
I just dont the point of buying stubs at all, and especially at this point in the game, either in-game or on 3rd-party sites. We are like halfway through the game cycle and we are not that far off where cards will drop in price and stubs will be a plenty. I just see it as a massive waste of money and wont make anyone better at the game.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN Hello fellow Canuck!
Yeah, our prices for things are nonsense. Don't even get me started on the fact we can't buy the Jackie Robinson packs every year...a foundation I gladly support
@drbear100_psn I know...kinda sad, but the theme of this year's release really is "Juice isn't worth the squeeze"

If you're not cheating you're not trying. I say go for it and consequences be damned. Or you can just flip a few cards to get the cards you want.

I elect to do gold exchanges, made almost 90k yesterday. That is how I was able to get LS, Miggy and V-Mart collections done.
Again a huge huge shout out to @goozefn_psn for sharing that. If it wasn't for the gold exchanges, I would still be struggling with getting LS collection done.
Usually legitimate ways of doing things take a more time and more work but once you accomplish your goals legitimately it's extremly rewarding.
-
@DrBear100_PSN I may try this how exactly do u do this if u don’t wanna share to everybody dm. I need smt new flipping margins have tightened right up again.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN It is a math equation. Essentially you can by enough silver cards at quick sell value and exchange for gold and as long as you aren't only pulling 80 golds you can quicksell the gold for a profit. I've never done it but that is what it is. I choose to flip diamond equipment that I can attain for 15000 and sell for 30000 which nets 12000 per flip. It is slow but effective once you build up a large balance.
-
I’ve done the gold exchange MANY times. I think the cheapest is to buy 10 75 rated silver players at quick sell (50 stubs) and trade them in for a gold pack.
This way, you are guaranteed a profit on all gold cards except for an 80 (400 stubs quick sell)
Again, 81, 82, 83 and 84 are guaranteed profits. Although, I’d hold on to 84 (at this point) and hope they get upgraded to an 85 (major profit).
I did it earlier in the year (when prices were a bit saner). I usually cleared 30-50k per run thru.
The key is to buy your silvers so that trade in value is less than 600 stubs.
-
For the last several days there has been a window in the late afternoon into evening that 80s sell above quick sell prices. It still is a loss but it has cut the loss on 80s significantly, don't know the exact percentage, it's definitely noticeable.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN you buy all the 75 overall silvers for 50 stubs quick sale then you exchange 10 for 1 gold pack any gold player you get that’s not and 80 overall gold is instant profit. Most 80s you can just not sell until roster update time and make your stubs back but your chances of making good profit is 75% in your favor and of course you can just keep them if you think they will go diamond then you really make stubs also since it counts as packs you can go over the 20 limit
-
@theBlindRhino_PSN I thought about this but do ppl usually buy the equipment? Also do u always get out bid by bots?
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN I don't worry about being outbid. I put in 20 orders for around 15000 on certain cards. I filter by amounts and bid on cards with buy orders of +29000 and especially ones with 0 buy nows. About once a day SDS will cancel all bids that exceed 15000. It is important to be mindful of that. But as I get the orders I list for 30k and don't budge any lower than 29k. I don't need to the stubs right away so I don't worry about whether someone is one upping me as eventually everything goes through. I just monitor about twice a day to make sure my sells don't get cancelled and if they do I just relist for 30k - 29k.
-
SDS will probably ban you for bringing it up tbh lol. (Probably not) But they have 2 of their biggest streamers openly using and hyping a 3rd party site and they won't do anything to them. So, there is a legal term which nobody has but should challenge SDS on, Selective enforcement. When one of us regular folks get banned for the same thing a CC does and endorses but SDS refuses to do anything about. Again, until someone has the money and time, don't risk getting banned.
-
Streamers are free to get promotion money anyway they can. Unless they use the site themselves they didn’t commit a crime not sure how selective enforcement comes into promoting
-
Well when they are openly admitting to using the site. Thats a problem.
-
I wanted to see what the show community thinks of buying stubs off of thrid party websites. Lots of streamers support this while ive seen sds have issues with that and banning them. Obviously, the default stubs you can buy on the market are too overpriced and is unfair with the value. I just want to spend money on the game for players while not be punished for trying to buy them in such manner that i get banned. what should i do?
Why would any entertain doing this? These 3rd parties sites are ruining the marketplace with their bots. If anything SDS should send cease and desist letters for using their likeness.
