After studying the market flow I placed a fair wager on buying low in response to an established price. The market reacted opposite expected. An unusually high amount of purchases were made inflating the price of the cards.
The must be either an algorithm to contain the market or people hired to watch for manipulations and counter them.
Am I wrong?

Most cards are 10 to 20k thats really low actually. It's only the LS series thats out of control. In fact there are only 7 players besides them that are over 60k (Pujols, Delgado, Morgan, Soriano, Longoria, Springer and Feller)
What do you mean settle down the market? The sell prices on most cards are super close to the buy prices. There is little margin, how on earth does it need to settle down?
It has been rough and often very slow even longer, but yeah, 3 days of total trash.
Anyone have a clue why the marketplace app is working so poorly? Takes for ever to load and process data. Sometimes won't even process. I've tried different networks, clearing cache, reinstall etc. Still can't buy/sell without it freezing up and needing to reload the screen.

What are the odds SDS could simplify the flipping process while limiting upside?
It would be simple to take less time for players (maybe for less profit) and therefore more money for SDS if they would allow us to buy as many xards at once with say a 100 or X number of orders on a given card at once.
This way some don't make a killing on 1000+ card orders while the rest of us don't need to take on a second job's worth of time spend flipping and more time playing the game.
I'd rather be playing than selling off extras and flipping cards. I'm pretty sure that would be good for online play too.
I know, just seem stupid that I can't replace the no sell card with a sellable version collected. No sell is a stupid concept if the card is available on the marketplace.
@sarge1387_psn said in Some of you have no idea how to flip:
in all fairness, SDS bots constantly come in and slash sell orders or bump buy orders. It's their way of controlling non-purchased stubs
I suggested that and was told I was crazy. Only this market does not appear to be natural. Many of the transactions are highly illogical with regard to time required vs reward when compared to stubbs generated by dollars spent.
If I can earn more working for an hour and buy stubbs, why the hell would I spend time flipping for less than I could do something of greater value?
Thus I rarely flip unless the market is good.
Quick sell is a way to get stubbs for dupes. Exactly. Your time ain't free. So it exists.
Flipping shouldn't be a full time job or a replacement to buying stubs. It is a nice supplement and something that would potentially be an enjoyable addition to the game.
No pack sale, but insane influx of supply. WTH?

Its crazy how you try to flip a couple of things and then these gate keepers get hurt feelings your flipping 2 items out of 20. How much is enough? JeeZ
Seriously though. The freaking insane folks insist on making the smallest margin to try and prevent others from making stubs.
If they just let things be they'd make a ton more with less effort.
Freaks!
I dont get how I can drop like 2-3 cards in a day and need to check on them because some nut job insists on controlling the sales of it.
Hello! Most people don't have enough time to slip more than a handful of cards per day. Say a few hundred at most. That includes ALL CARDS!
Whether they are bronze, silver, diamond whatever just fall in line and wait a few minutes. If you drop a card and some psycho doesn't try to buy X value and flip them for less. They will sell.
It's pissing me off and making me less interested in purchasing the fame next year. So if SDS wants to alienate paying customers because a few may take advantage of the market, so be it. Long term these funktards need to GTFO.
