Quick help for people looking for stubs.... don't pay just flip!
simple math equations for cards.
ya just gotta beat the 10% tax.
so make sure you have a good margin over 10%
So buy a card at 10,000 when you see the sell is something like 13,000
that's easy in your head cause 10% is 1,300 - so 1,700 profit.
HERE IS THE CATCH- you're competing so be ready to lower your price - why you would never buy at 10,000 when the sell is at like 11,250 - no profit and no room to move.
Also - people are psychologically attracted to certain numbers and things like 25,50,75,99.
You will see people going down by one each time. That's slower and a waste of time. Also, it's fun to troll those people at drop stub values of cards by a lot.
Hey, if you make 1k in a second over someone who spent 30 minutes dropping by one stub - go for it! They drop and drop- you go back to flipping with more stubs and they are at square one.
Get flipping!

Ironically I was flipping the Awards Bogaerts up until today. I wasn't getting great margins, maybe 2,500-3000 a flip after tax; but it got me 100K within a half hour.
I was getting him for around 30-32K and selling for around 35-37K.
Now that he is 40K+; it's to much of a gamble.

Not a good idea to automatically undercut/overbid by a lot. you dont know who that next person coming is going to be. I always coming back after 2 or 3 other listings to check( a lot of the time they have filled and i would have cost myself stubs by doing larger amounts) if there is little other activity i continue small amounts, only if there seems to be a lot of others do i do large amounts.(or walk away and wait till later)

agreed - trying to help newbies.
I was very wary about futures of the franchise for a while. They've been pretty stable recently so I've been dabbling.
I most worry about new programs - unless you get in on the early minutes. I got the home run derby series + 100k by flipping em when it popped up new items available in marketplace. Within a half hour I walked away because it was too saturated.
I just argue undercutting by a good amount and getting a sale in less than a minute is better than just dancing around and cutting by one stub and taking 30 minutes when you could have flipped that same card five times already.
I've definitely seen a lot of overpays/undercuts by thousands which I just assume is sony or someone who really wants the card - keep it to 25-100 is my motto - again unless i really need it. (but I'm only sharing advice cause I'm about at my end for the game already, only do solo and am close enough to Brett/Live)

it doesnt really get the sale faster though, as you dont know if the next person is coming to buy or sell, if hes the same as you hes just going to list for better than yours and you wait for him(or get into a bid war) if they come to buy he then gets it cheaper and you miss stubs.
without any listings outside of the market you cant attract random ppl, the only ones to know of a possible deal are those already coming and they already decided their purpose.
No way is wrong, but my way- counting the 3 new BR diamonds and the 2 new event rewards, i only need 9 to have every card so far, and if i took my stubs to 0 it would only be the 2 ws the 2 flawless and feller. -
nah - literally people are attracted to even round numbers and 25 intervals. The 99 also works. It's why supermarkets use em.
I see the same drop by 1 post after I make 10-25 k off the same card after 5 sales all the time.All in a few minutes.
Read "Propaganda" Edward Bernays - doesn't teach this particularly but modern advertising in general. Basically, how people are programmed to think. It's how everything is sold since the 40/50's.
Not saying the drop by one people can't make stubs. But attractive numbers get quicker movement is it.
And often you can bid war and drop back to just before the bid war gets too far... and they'll lose out and you can gain a couple k by a quick back off if it's just two.
a bit of trolling into someone into going to far - but not for someone putting in 10-20 bids then actually playing a game then going back.
