Wanted Cards Help

[ironcladtrash]

Probably everyone is looking for what I want for cheap so this may be a useless post. But hoping some kind hearted souls will help. Due to an apparent market bug some people were abusing, the card prices stayed way to high and are only now slowly coming down.  Any one have an extras to sell dirt cheap. I don't have any offers in at the moment other than BS zeros which I should probably remove but if you'd be willing to sell cheap let me know for what and I will put in.

few days ago, PP was 10000.
I was just wondering how the hell can it be so expensive.
now from your post i know that there is bug lol.
just curious what kind of bug is it?

Bug's been flushed, people who abused have been sorted out. Unless the bug resurfaced, it shouldnt be the bug that's the cause of the price discrepancy anymore.

Th nature of the bug doesn't matter, and I would appreciate if there's not anyone who discusses the bug details, it might encourage abuse, if it's still there. If its fixed, then there's no point talking about it.

I think that's nice and logical

I don't know the details of the bug and I wholeheartedly agree that if it's still out there please do not post details. The point though is we are still suffering the ramifications of it because the market price is only on a slow decline. I spent probably more money than I should have on this game. So when I see the high Animus Credits still listed I also see dollar signs and really makes me mad that it's all because of a few cheaters.

i see, the price of cards make sense now
if the bug is really fixed, its good

I still maintain that if the prices are gonna stay high, that means people ARE Willing to pay that much for them. Either that or everyone is using buy offers to find prices instead of sell offers.

A free market is self regulating, even if everyone feels like they're getting ripped off all of the time.

(it's just like second hand cars's bloody high prices, at least where I am. Damnit)

Here is the problem. When the market opened was probably when everyone had the largest amount of extras to sell. Everyone was constantly setting their sell prices lower then each other. I watched Ezio Assassin drop from 4000 to 1500 in a week.  As soon as the market was open everyone was focusing on buying their wanted cards  or to complete 5 of each instead of buying packs that would have resulted in more extras to sell.  These few cards never had a chance for everyone to competitively sell properly. Now yes the problem appears fixed and these cards ARE dropping in price, but  it's not as fast as it would have been because now people have less extras to sell. If I am patient I suspect in about month they will be more reasonable, it's just unfortunate now.

I don't agree entirely. In the life of the game, there were initially the few who bought a lot of boosters. Those cards went to the market to start with. Then people were buying more out of need to complete a playset rather than an informed price decision. Prices were high, but they were also damn low. It was highly fluctuating.

Now, some are Hugh and some are low, and some higher than you expect, some lower than you expect, but they're now a level that's been refined, like rocks being turned to pebbles. You'll find differing highs and lows but they're overall more consistent than they were when they opened - not necessarily lower or higher, just more stable.

As more people buy boosters cos they think singles are too expensive, singles will drop. And vice versa when singles become oversupplied.

And, does no one realize that the selling price is NOT necessarily the listed price but the somewhere in between?

I do agree with your view on the market, but I still think my point stands in the context of yours on these cards. But I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
