DR Buy/Sell Market Advice

[synistr]

Thought I would create a "stock tip" like thread for DR cards.

I have been procrastinating at buying some cards....also, the unpredictability of 2k's updates kill me sometimes. Last week I sniped a DR Draymond for 1900, I wanted to hold it till it became Amethyst but 2k did a couple of updates after that and he didn't go up so I sold him. Today he goes up and that cost me about another 60-70k...smh.

I am likely to dump the one I have and buy him back when he drops back to gold.

Anyway...

I balked a Klay and Melo a lot at very low prices. As low as 15k on both. Klay got a 2 point bump so he is up past 50k now. Melo still cheap though....if I see him around 15k or less I probably will pick him up because he eventually is going to rise.

I had chance to jump on Kyrie, glad I didn't, his 3-ball has dropped so I should be able to catch him for cheap this weekend. I would recommend picking him up if you can.

My KAT is paying off. Picked him up for about 1700 months ago. May be time to dump him.

LMA fairly cheap, may grab him because he should increase as well.

Steph is at 97 but I am afraid to dump him because I may want him back. There probably isn't another Diamond I would want to replace him with that I could afford. If I could get good value for him I may do it though, just to have the MT for when the market crashes....plus when he goes back down.

Post any other buy/sell suggestions please.

I am not sure if it is a good idea or it will work out, but I am giving it a try. I am pretty much buying every single card on the AH of 1 player then reposting them all for higher prices. There are too many current editions of cards for sale so it's too tough to do, but DR cards are much rarer and make it more possible to corner the market.

Today I bought all 3 DR Dieng cards on PS4 AH for 5k and 7k and now I have them posted for 15k-20k.

I also have 10 DR Kyle Lowry cards for sale in the AH right now all ranging from 80-100k. Every time I see someone post one for 50-55k I buy it then repost it for 80-100.

It could backfire having all my eggs in one basket, so many cards of the same player, if it drops in ratings I could potentially take a big hit. But if the card is of a popular enough player and I own enough of them then I am thinking it's possible to control the prices. I am hoping Lowry goes up to amethyst tomorrow and I will hit the jackpot.

The last couple weeks there has been a DR update of roughly 200 cards each Friday, which is making it much more predictable and good for trading.

John Wall should be going back up to Amethyst with the way he's been playing.

I would think so. I got lucky and pulled one right after he got dropped from Amethyst to Gold. Held on to him because the upside was more than downside. If he goes up to Amethyst and price spikes enough, will definitely sell. I don't think a +1 or +2 OVR makes him worth the premium over Current Gold Westbrook (especially on PC). And I already have several Amethyst PG's: Isiah, DPOY Payton, and Current Steph.

All that said, he's shot 11-17 from outside in last 4 games. I could see his Standing 3 going up from 77 to 79 or 80. Which actually would make it hard to part with him.

How much was Wall selling for on ps4 last time he was amethyst?

[tt500]

Wall was selling only around 100 to 110k from what I remember. With allstar packs and the amount of quality pg in the game I don't think he will sell higher than that.

Unless his 3pt rating is in the 80s. Seems any1 with 80+ 3pt shooting, their price skyrockets.

Lowry is a good investment because he will hit Amethyst...so if they don't sell now, they will then. I made a lot off of DR cards. I actually have every card except for about 6. Some bronze are really rare though. I don't have Beasley...I missed him one day for 800. he goes for about 10-15k.

PS4 card prices are more than xb1. I was getting Lowry cards for about 30k. Wall about 60-70k. the time to buy is when they are gold. I want to get some Derozen cards but they have been pricier than I expected.

I bought 3 boxes of dynamics last week, was lucky to get DR wall and DR Griffin. I already sold Blake but I'm still holding on to Wall hoping that he gets back to amethyst before selling. I also have DR whiteside but I don't think he'll go up anymore he's already 98-99 on blocks.


Back on topic: For me, DR cards has always been the most difficult cards to read on the AH. I've earned lots from it, but also busted (big time) from few. Just take extra caution when trying to flip these cards. Just a tip and I don't know why or how, but the most MTs I got from flipping was from bronze DRs.
