<![CDATA[Is It The Bots?]]>Why is it that every time I put in for a Buy or a Sell on a card, it seems like a dozen people either undercut my sell price almost immediately or overbid my Buy price? Is it really bots? I don't get it, but it's extremely frustrating. I don't remember this happening in previous seasons, or, if it did, not to this extent.

@samguenther1987_PSN I picked up Berkman the other day, when there were other drops, for around 110k. I was pretty excited to get him and I really like the card in the times that I have used it.

Got Berkman today and i have 100k saved away for Stanton, + the cards in saved for investment purposes.

So with that finished (i'm missing 10 cards, 7 of them from programs i already have completed, the other 3 beign Lieter, Harper and Perdomo)

I am now done market until the bots can be controlled a bit. Might check in on Friday when the new program drops.

Friday is spotlight, Sunday is the program

Right of course, my bad

It is weird though, a drop on a Sunday and not thurs or fri

It makes sense because Sunday is the HOF introduction so I guess like the Home Run Derby and All Star game SDS wants to line it up.

Oh,it makes perfect sense, that's when the induction ceremony is.
The part that feels weird is that it's a drop on a weekend day, don't get many of those.

No human could cancel and enter orders as fast as the bots. I go back and forth on who it is since it doesn't get fixed. This has been going on since last year. It's worse this year.

On new cards, people. On older cards, bots. I don't care how many people play this game there is no way possible that some random person halfway across the world is just waiting to under/over bid you by a stub as often as it happens. There's a program they use where cheaters put a max and minimum bid in and it will constantly move their bid +/- 1.

You would have an easier time convincing me it's SDS marketplace manipulation, then believing it's some random person.

I am NOT saying that it is SDS! But.... 🤔

JK!

They are all over the equipment tonight, put a order in and the bots one up you, take your order down and raise it and theres the bot again instantly, put it back down again and the bot is there again.

None of my orders are moving.

There were possible bots on 2 of them but I think it was mostly ppl trying to do the same thing I was, get them to finish the collect before the prices spike.
Note: cancelled them all and came back a couple hours later and didn't have any trouble getting them, only about 1k each more than earlier.
Not upset cause under 10 was probably too low.

Sometimes it's bots , sometimes it's ppl, and sometimes it's both.

It's bots, I just reported it again. It's been awful today, of course as soon as I get close to having both Stanton and Berkman.... guess I hope for the Flash Sale to drop their prices because orders are definitely not going through

It's always happened to some extent. I just think as more people become market-savvy, more people play the market exactly the same as you.
