The market seems pretty stable to me these days. Prices seem pretty consistent when I check back. Are people finding offers the best way to gain new cards? For me, best way to gain new cards is to offer, not to buy. I'm a newbie, i checked AH about 10/15 times to find good opportunities, but i only found 2 or 3 really good deals. Works better for me (for uncommons and not too overlooked cards) to make offers.

Tip: If you are actually trying to make money on the market, don't just drop 5 or 6 cards at the same low price at once. Instead of looking like a good deal and encouraging buys, it changes the normal price. Buyers can see that long list and bid low comfortable in the fact they can buy one of your long list later, and your competitors have to out bid you, since they know they wont sell anything at a higher price while your list is out there.
Obviously this tip doesn't apply if you are just getting cards out of your inventory or aren't really buying and selling (or want to lower the price for some reason). But if you are planning to play the market, dropping a whole set of cards at once is a bad idea.

Obviously this tip doesn't apply if you are just getting cards out of your inventory or aren't really buying and selling (or want to lower the price for some reason). But if you are planning to play the market, dropping a whole set of cards at once is a bad idea. Never put all your offers out at low price (when selling) or at high price (when buying) at the same time, even you have 10 DI to sell or have enough credits to buy 10 DI. If you really want to get (or sell) several copies of a certain card, put only one offer, until you've got or sold the card, don't put up another offer. Don't out bid the other buyers or sellers just by 1, the chance is that if you do so, another one will do the same thing, and then comes another one, you are just lower (when selling) or rise (when buying) the price and never get the card out or in. If you are trying to buy or sell a card at 1~100, lowering or rising 10 (around 10%) should be enough to allow you get what you want. However, when it comes to cards over 1000, 10 is basically nothing, anyone will out bid your offer. I usually put a 10-20% gap between mine and the best offer showed in the list, depending on how eager I want to get or sell the card. Usually it works fast. I just wish all the buyers and sellers be reasonable, try not to out bid the other players by 1 or something can be neglected.

BTW, Ringel, I adjust my calculation a bit, and now sure that you are right about the templar pack. But, the assassin pack is a bit disappointing, considering the cost is 9 times higher than the templar pack.
