Marketplace Hypothetical - Market Inefficiency
-
Scenario
-
While active in the Community Market, you locate every marketeer's dream, that being an inefficiency which generates roughly 40,000 Stubs for every hour that you're actively buying and selling said card. Important note here, which is that it's 100% legitimate with not even a hint of anything against the rules. You've simply located a card which is very active in both transaction types.
-
You spend multiple hours buying and selling, watching your Stubs balance continue to rise through nothing more than repeated transactions involving a particular card, with both Buy orders and Sell orders being completed very quickly, sometimes almost instantaneously... at significantly different values, thus the inefficiency. (For example's sake, let's say that you keep placing Buy orders of 1400, with them being filled at a rate of 200 per hour, while also placing Sell orders at 1778 with the same rate of order completion. In other words, you're making a net positive of 200 Stubs per each Sell order.
-
At some point, you have to log off and go to sleep as you have an important appointment in the morning which cannot be rescheduled, so you must sleep.
...
Questions: Do you...
-
Tell one or two friends about the opportunity?
-
Tell no one and hope that the opportunity is still there when you're able to get back?
-
Tell everyone, e.g. post to the Community Forum here as well as the in-system community on the PS4?
-
-
Option A. Tell a couple of friends. Its selfish for you and you alone to take advantage of this but you don’t want the word to spread of this
-
You can tell me what card, I’ll make the stubs while you can’t. Thanks in advance

None of the above... You don't say anything and go about your business in order to improve your team. Don't think MLB franchises share how they generate revenue with each other but I could be wrong

‍️This guy gets it... someone asked a flipping question on Reddit nobody answered but one person gave a vague answer next thing I know I have competition in flipping what I was flipping...made 270k in a week then this week only at 105k so ya just don't say anything is the best bet here
-
Friends?

I need friends.

Brother, The way I see it, if nobody pays me for my ideas/thoughts its mine until they do so.
Just don't do it too much you don't want to encounter the SDS ban hammer.

Yup... Plus I've always seen DD as a game of survival of the fittest in every possible sense. Field, market, everything! Good luck man.

Nobody’s getting banned for flipping the same card repeatedly. Players have been doing exactly that for years.

‍️That was one of the choices listed.

Side-note: the number of chimes from my phone within about five minutes of writing the original post in this thread made me laugh. To anyone who pinged me to ask which card I'm discussing above, fret not... I didn't answer anyone, except for right here in this reply.
-
My friend and I usually tell each other what we’ve been flipping so my choice would be A. I made 50k yesterday by my new technique and I told him about it as well.

You can tell me I can keep a secret My Dm open brother

Exactly..I know it's just a video game but it's a game I usually play all year round like alot of people do..last year I didn't buy it, was going to take a break and give it a rest, finally play my backlog of games I never got to play but then one month in October they gave it for free on PS plus and they sucked me back in LOL...I only played it for a few months but the way flipping was last year I still ended up with a great amount of stubs and all the best players... This year is a little tougher flipping so like you said survival of the fittest.. got to figure it out on your own like most of us do... a few years ago when I realized you can flip cards for profit I didn't ask a single question about what to do or how to do it.... It's just one of those things you have to do by yourself and keep it to yourself LOL

I have no friends but have found some guys who just continuously sell high and are cheap to buy
