Flipping cards harder This year?

[Joeythebigboss]

Man I feel like I'm in no mans land when it comes to DD this year. How are people even flipping cards with the buy and sell orders being so close to each other this year?

I hear ya man. I don't have the patience to be flipping 90 stub common cards. I did flip two golds recently but with the 10% tax, and the amount of time it takes for someone to buy it, I only netted like 700 stubs.

Yeah man it's crazy it's still kinda early but I don't see the market looking like last year where you could flip for high profit.

I am having a hard time as well. The only thing is I have noticed a few cards are fluctuating like crazy and certain times of the day prices go down vs up. (hint: when America sleeps the price is cheap, when America plays, sell all day)
I have been luckily and bought a few that I thought would go back up and they did. I netted around 5-7k on each of those. Other than that it is a lot of work to make 100 stubs.

i think all the info they are showing on theshownation.com is making it harder too. You can see all the buying/selling prices instead of just the highest, and you can see all the sell history. Makes the site a lot cooler, but makes flipping harder.

This might be there way of making people have to buy stubs and spend money instead of working the market.

well dont forget it is still early in the games release. eventually people that may be playing a lot right now may not be playing a lot after a month or so. so flipping will become a bit easier once there are less people doing it. but right now a ton of people are trying to flip all at the same time so it makes it very difficult.

This is my first year doing it and I definitely am not buying and selling huge money (stub) cards. I've mostly just been flipping cards for 150-300 stubs a piece. It's pretty addicting.

The annoying part though is when someone who actually doesn't know what people are doing with flipping cards decides to sell his card at like 200 stubs less than what the going rate is. I just thought I'd wait and someone would buy that kid's card and then I could sell the 3 I had at the regular going rate. Well I check back 5 minutes later and like 6 other people have undercut the guy. So now I'm sitting on 3 cards that I may lose money on if the prices don't go back up.
