My opinion is it’s disappointing that some people who are at 100 percent and most likely will get all of the stage 3 TAs through showdowns still feel the need to inflate the market. Some may use just for exchanges and now the cost is higher than a few days ago.
I started a spreadsheet a couple weeks ago so I could balance my bronzes + for TA and split my stubs made in the game between stub’s and cards for TA3. My goal was to get at least 50,000 exchange points for every team. That would get me 6 cards, 1 for every division right off the bat. So 1/5 of my TA3 progress is exchange the other 4/5 is showdown. That’s still a lot of showdown’s
Sure and I envy u all cause I fail every time I do one. In my case it’s exchanges or daily grinds. Wish it was possible to keep playing the showdown until you pass I would spend a couple of hours on one if it meant 20-25 TA points. MTO is too long on veteran which I play on to be worth it.

It's obvious you've dug a line in the sand, you've made your up mind that it's a bunch of faceless people manipulating the market. If that is the mindset you want, by all means, but I think I've laid out a pretty good argument on what is really happening.
Again u r a Prestige 67 player while I am at Diamond 83. I am sure u r far superior to me as I have defeated open showdown ever. In my case I will prob need to use exchanges while u can have 40 TA points in 2 hours.
So because you aren't good at the game other people should have to take the longer route and just hand you cards for cheap so you can do it the easy way? Not how things work
No where did I say that but again I don’t see why a card like Robles has to double
Let me say it again the BUYERS cause the price to go up because people that want to do exchanges when the program drops go on and hit buy now which cause the price of the card to go up. Then the price slowly goes back down as leople put in sell orders. So therefore the price goes back down because of the SELLERS. Noone is gonna undercut the last sell order by a couple hundred on a silver just to be nice.
Prices are set by the seller not the buyer. The buyer will buy what’s available. Again if you are someone who will acquire TA through showdowns what do you gain by having 500k stubs? You will have 30 players right there 97-99.

The more people trying to capitalize on TA 3, the less the market will rise. If more people are selling when TA 3 drops, the prices won't climb as high. However, if no one is selling when TA 3 drops, and everyone is buying, the prices would be much higher.
People stockpiling with the intention to sell will actually help players in your situation.
Sure hope so I have 4 teams at 120 TA points and one I don’t even like the player announced thus far. A very good player can be done with 3 showdowns in 3 hours and have any player they want.

I don't see how your or my XP level is relevant to the discussion though. Ok, so you'll have to use exchanges, how does that invalidate anything I've said so far?
My belief is many who are buying these cards are doing so with intention to sell at high prices and earn stubs and unsure why as they will earn all TA cards anyway without needing exchanges or the silvers.

@nymets1987 said in Inflation of market:
In order for the cost to go up people are setting it at that cost. Seems they are manipulating the market to benefit them knowing others of weaker ability will need it. I cannot complete a showdown so it’s easier grinding or exchanges for me. More people will need so some are setting costs higher than earlier last week.
Let me give you an example. Because I don't think you get what I'm trying to say.
Let's assume there is 500 Austin Meadows pulled a day, but there is only 400 people who buy Meadows each day. Prices go down because there is more supply coming in then buyers
But now let's assume Austin Meadows is needed for a super important exchange, the first-rate, 500 Austin Meadows pulled a day stays the same, but suddenly you have 1200 people who are buying that card.
Moving forward with that example, Let's assume out of those 500 Meadows, 100 of them are listed at 1100, those obviously get bought up rather quickly because we have 1200 people trying to get him, and the next cheapest orders are 100 at 1250 stubs a piece. After that 100 is bought, the price automatically rose, not because people are setting new prices, but because the cheaper stuff is gone.
It's a little long, but I hope you get the jest of what I'm saying.
But someone set the price at 1250 yes cheap ones were bought First but someone out in a sell order at 1250.

You were late to the party.
Being honest, I buy them all year. When POTM exchanges cause a rush, sell stacks of silver and bronze. Reinvest them right back.
Just plan ahead more next time.
And are u at 100 percent with all teams? If so is your purpose just to take stubs of the players not as good? I am just wondering. Not stating it’s true just wondering
You get that people at 100% are saving up on players to get to 100% quickly on the next stage right ie players like Buhner, Killebrew or Thome if he's released? Beside not everyone is stockpiling golds for the TA's some of us are stockpiling for stubs. When new TA stages hit it's a great way to get lots of stubs fast.
That’s exactly my point. Again I know no one will agree but no reason why people have to take Robles from 300 to 600 on the market to make stubs which they don’t need because they will have everyone of the 97-99 TA legends. Not sure u need those stubs then.

I've been preaching this method all year long. Looking to cash in on some 300-400k tomorrow hopefully.
I get it and amazed at the patience you have. I won’t spend any time trying to put in tons of orders .

@eatyum said in Inflation of market:
And what would you suggest to fix that?
With TA3 dropping, there is obviously more demand for golds in order for exchanges, and Econ 101 says more demand = higher prices. It's not some people manipulating the market to make a profit.
As i said many won’t agree with me but if I had to guess many people who are of superior ability in game are many who have inflated the market to earn more stubs when the lesser players who would need to do exchanges more can’t because the cost is high.

Is there new legends in the streams tomorrow or was that just for American League?
Tomorrow is NL and Tuesday morning is new legends Reveal.

I know this won’t settle well with many but there are many great players who do showdowns and are at 100 percent max for all TAs...
Then there are players like me who will grind them out 3 9 inning games and 3 inning game daily with full team to get 5 points but it’s tiresome so exchanges would benefit us but the market is absurd right now for gold and High silvers. I’m sure many Who bought 50-100 of them and re-selling are great players. Stinks imo
